It's been a long time coming for these guys. To finally see my vision come to life is a great feeling and much thanks is in part to Nova for casting these bad boys for me. So without further interruption, here are my Cobra Blue Beret Commandos. I hope you dig 'em.
Blue Beret Commandos - Cobra Special Forces Head, torso, waist - LIVEVIL/Nova cast kit Arms- Shockwave 91 Upper Legs- Storm Shadow 92 Lower Legs- Hit & Run 88 AK-74 assault rifle- Marauder Inc. Backpack- Gung Ho 92 Handpicked from the best of COBRA's combat divisions, the Blue Beret Commandos form a highly-trained and lethal special operations unit. Each recruit is chosen for physical strength, endurance, intelligence, and loyalty. Recruits undergoe advanced tactical training and very brutal physical training, forging them into a ruthless fighting force and it is only the strongest and toughest recruits whom somehow survive to complete it, earn the coveted, 'Blue Beret'. Fewer than one in five recruits pass the final test, in which the recruit must face twelve heavily-armed COBRA troopers, armed with only a knife and a pistol with five rounds of ammunition! Able to operate effectively in any environment, these elite troopers are experts in infiltration, reconnaissance, sabotage, guerilla warfare, small arms, demolitions, and hand-to-hand combat. The Blue Beret Commandos are a mean, nasty bunch who enjoy nothing more than to strike terror and inflict serious damage to GI JOE or anyone else who dare gets in the way of COBRA's nefarious plans! Next up is the Cobra Blue Beret Officer... Blue Beret Officer - Cobra Special Forces Officer Head, torso, waist - LIVEVIL/Nova cast kit Arms- Shockwave 91 Upper Legs- Storm Shadow 92 Lower Legs- Hit & Run 88 AK-74U assault rifle and G-18 automatic pistol- Marauder Inc. Backpack- Gung Ho 92 *Other than just painting his mask red, I also sculpted 2 officer tabs on his collar and painted the left shoulder strap on his assault vest white to indicate the difference between officer and trooper.* Blue Beret Officers are in charge of COBRA Blue Beret Commando teams. They are loyal, battled-hardened, and experienced officers whom have risen the ranks and proven their worth through ruthless action. Trained in multiple aspects of modern warfare, leadership and psychology, Blue Beret Officers become effective leaders on the battlefield, leading their troops to commit heinous acts of terrorism in the name of COBRA. Motivated by ambitions of power and the rewards for their successes, Blue Beret Officers keep their troops in line with cruel and merciless efficiency.

Dude! These are sharp!!! I still have love for the orings, and you're making me want to customize some, even though I know mine would suck next to yours.

Absolutely beautiful. Can't believe Hasbro never got around to making something like this. It's truly perfect.

Very good to see a custom from you. They are always super nice. I like the ear piece on these a lot. It really fits well with the basic sculpting of the RAH line.

These o-rings look spectacular! My only suggestion would be to make the mask black and cobra sigil on the beret silver for the officer, an homage to the 82 version. Or not, it still looks great
