I've been wanting to do this custom for some time. I wanted a Cobra "Soldier" as close to replicating the vintage ARAH figure as possible. I used a Dollar General Cobra as the base of the figure. I swapped the pocket from the left leg to the right leg, removed the knife sheath from the boot and added it to the left leg. I also made a resin cast of the garrote from the vest of the Bazooka Trooper and glued it to the right arm. I cut two bullets from an extra Retaliation 3pk Roadblock vest and glued them to the left arm. I also customized the web gear to look more like ARAH Cobra figure. Vintage ARAH photos from yojoe (hope this ok).
