I obtained a loose Firefly and Storm Shadow comic pack (no Doc sticker, no comic, all the other stuff though) and really love the Firefly figure. However, I wanted him to be with my Joes, because he was pretty neat and Cobra already has a Firefly in my collection.
So, I took some nail polish remover and proceeded to turn the Cobra symbol on his arm into a funny colored smear on his arm. It still looked weird, and he still wasn't different enough from Firefly, IMO. So, I thought about switching some of his pieces onto a Snake Eyes body. The head was too loose, however. So, it hit me. Why don't I just paint his upper body, and make him look more like Beachhead, than Firefly? So I did. Here he is without any gear. I was waiting for the paint to fully dry to apply the finish, at this point. And here he is with the gear on. I decided on the name Cobalt Raze, because he's blue (Cobalt) and he's still a demolitions expert, just he works for the Joes instead of Cobra. The finish works, except for the fact I painted him with his arms out, so there are a few patches of gray... whoops. As an added bonus... I opened my 3rd wave 7 Snake Eyes last night and put him on the 2nd German Motorcycle I got. $9 for these cycles is a ridiculous deal, plus the German Trooper is pretty neat too.

I would do that, I might get some black paint and mix up a darker shade of blue for that. I was hesitant to do a camo pattern because I didn't know how well I would do, but maybe if I painted the entire figure, and did a blue camo pattern, he might end up looking cool... or just like a blue Firefly.

If you go all the way with the blue, you'll more or less have Shockwave.

Good call... he'd basically only need a hat. Maybe that's what I'll do instead?
