I've always been a fan of specialized squads and after seeing last months Joe Comic and the introduction of The Plague and all its members I decided my next project would be to make custom based on the bios introduced in Issue #30. At first I was going to do all these custom using New Sculpt parts but after going through my extra 25th figures I noticed that the Beachhead and Firefly Torso matched up really well to the shirt used my most of the member. So with that in mind I decided to do all my Plague members in 25th style which included re-creating Black out, Grimskull, Gallows and Guillotine with 25th body parts. I plan on doing all 13 members plus a few new ones based on other Cobra Troops but I'm waiting on some parts for most of these figures. I tried to stay as close to the comic depiction as possible but ended up making a few small changes mostly in paint schemes to change up the figures a little bit. Ill also post the bio pics I scanned from comic for those that haven't seen the bios. Im also including a pic of the 25th Cobra De Aco I put together instead of making another post just for him.

They look great.
My only gripe is the Cobra de Aco. It's not against your custom either but the fact that the neck and ball joint doesn't work well with the SE head. I've planning to do this custom since I found out about Flash and then I get my extra Flash today and first thing I do is pop a SE head on it. I wasn't very happy about how hard it is to get the head on and the fact that Flash's neck is way to short. Oh well, I'll just cut the neck off of SE and Flash and glue them to the opposite body. |
