Im waiting for this custom to get featured on the front page! I know my opinion is mine, and mine alone, but.. reading through the thread i see several times the word "best" used. That should carry a little influeance.

I don't know if I said it before but this is hands down the BEST Cobra Commander figure I've seen to date.
I absolutely love it. |

Seriously, as sac religious as it may be, I always considered the Commander a terrible character. This one is literally the best CC I have ever seen, and the only one I have ever seen worthy of commanding an army. Tremendous work.

Thanks guys!! I really doubt they'll go over this well,lol. Seriously. I could tell when I was none with CC he was the star of the show..reason I decided to drop him solo. ^ Idk about all that,he's hardly complex,lol. the most most delicate part was the torso...removing those medals from the chest w/o damaging the buttons,getting in there,and making it perfect...then the decal. I still don't know where to get silver decals,so I went the negative approach. The area was painted silver,then the black&clear decal was applied,then it was trimmed out in black,then a few layers of clear,then more wet sanding,followed by more clear. Honestly I made him completely on accident. He started off as a completely different figure! finding that Loki figure at Ross in Pensicola(an area I rarely frequent) snowballed him into a CC. I really never would've guessed he'd go over this well either! especially with poor timing of presentation on my part! there was already a very similar looking CC put out the same day I didn't notice or I wouldn't have posted mine...then phantro's amazing work with the cobra la figure! how does someone compete for the spotlight with that?!?! not only does that figure have hand crafted parts,the presentation is unbelievable! I have an iPhone&a piece of a box! lol. That's it!! I couldn't put something together that nice if I wanted to! You my friend have an eye for things (parts, composition etc), regardless of your set up, that is in itself the secret to presenting an awesome custom in my humble opinion. You deserve every credit because what you did was simple, elegant and excellent. Be proud man. This absolutely rocks! |

This looks like a screen grab from the movie! I had to do a double take.
Very well executed.

I am seriously honored to read that. Thanks! Quote:
I actually did! he's got his hands! lol. Quote:
In a lot of ways didn't like how he was depicted in the cartoon as incompetent,besides that he was my favorite character,just not my favorite figure. That honor went to my single crimson guard,lol. Quote:

You deserve every credit because what you did was simple, elegant and excellent. Be proud man. This absolutely rocks! Most of the guys posting in the thread,including yourself are people who I've been admiring their customs since I started in the hobby. to hear all these comments for a figure that I seriously thought of as still incomplete is just awesome! I was going to modify his feet,but he's cobra commander..all I'd ever want to pose him as is standing,or walking anyways...maybe a capt Morgan once or twice,lol. He can do that,and well! The figure has a stability that is ridiculous! I have him posed with Cat woman slung over his shoulder,and he can stand w/o a help from a stand! those fixed ankles are pretty nifty Quote:
Wow! thanks man! he really looks that good,if not better in person. I've actually touched up a few things too Including the head,and there was a slight defect on his chest near the coat..like a little bubble in the clear? I wet sanded him again,and cleaned up the lines to perfect..he's seriously flawless now. He'll be in many pics to come with other customs.
