I had planned since April to get back into making figures based on concept, so I was grateful to this contest for giving me a new deadline for something I had in mind. The parts for this sat for months because I was not sure how to start. The figure represents the nameless, faceless legions of Cobra, except I did use Star Wars Finn for one of the heads, which means I can't unsee at least some individuality and potential for rebellion underneath the mask of a trooper that was trained to be mindless. This suggested a backstory where this is one specific Cobra trooper who climbs the ranks to become a viper. I had planned to create at least 2 more individualized heads, because I don't like army builders to look 100% the same, but ultimately ran out of time.
Sometime soon, when I finish a few more details, I will add this to my my growing ranks of concept art-based Cobra legions in the larger project thread:

.
The artwork that inspired this is from several images by Josh Nizzi, found here:

What if Cobra Retaliation troopers had been given blue camouflage instead of grey and gotten all of this gear?
Here is Cobra: The Enemy...
He looks pretty sweet all geared! Love the goggled look—certainly formidable!
