The Crimson Neo-Vipers bothered me. They are supposed to be the bodyguards of the upper ranked echelon within Cobra. I like the idea, but I dislike the execution. It’s just a recoloured Neo-Viper with nothing really making them seem more like royal guards, which is really what they are. So, as i sat looking at my collection I decided to take some spare parts and re-envision the figure. This is my take on the Cobra royal guard. Parts List Head: Cobra Commander (Rise of Cobra) Torso: The Doctor (Rise of Cobra) Upper Arms: The Doctor (Rise of Cobra) Lower Arms: Cobra Commander (Rise of Cobra) Hands: Union Jack (Marvel Universe) Legs: Crimson Neo-Viper (Rise of Cobra) Chest Armor: Crimson Neo-Viper (Rise of Cobra) Shoulderpads: Hand Ninja (Marvel Universe) Gauntlets: Storm Shadow (Arctic Assault) Sash & Skirt: Sao Feng (Pirates of the Caribbean) Guandao: Storm Shadow (Whirlwind Kick) Shield: Dark Trooper Phase 1 (Star Wars: Legacy Collection) |

I like this. Doesn't look like a lot of work until you check the parts list.

Did you just make the one? Do you plan on making a Guard with these figs?
Looks baddazz.

Looks a lot better than the standard figure but looks too much like a Star Wars figure to me, like the Royal guard.

DarkHorse: Yep, I think that I used more part on this figure than I have on any of my others.
HobbyHobbs: I don't really have the budget to trooper build multiples of the same type, so sadly he'll be solo. omega145: There may actually be a bit of Imperial Royal Guard inspiration in there. I thought about many different types of royal guards from various sources when assembling the pieces. I'm psyched you guys like my re-envisioning of the Cobra royal guard. Plenty of other Cobras to come in the near future. |
