LATEST CUSTOM POST:
A cool thing about some of the international releases is that some of the troop builder figures were released as individuals or in other cases a Joe would become a Cobra or vice versa. Maligno is one of those characters. The Brazilian release of the v1 Toxo-viper features slightly different coloring, but more importantly is an individual character. As you may have guessed "maligno" translates to "Malignant", while his file card roughly translates to the following: "The indiscriminate killing of animals with the use of sophisticated weapons led the commandos to a forest reserve. As they suspected, it was the cruel Maligno who was located by the shots of his long-range rifle. Soon a terrible sound of battle dominated the entire park. Maligno attacking with his machine gun and his laser pistol, he managed to give the Commandos a lot of work But luckily he was subdued and light to flee Since he was a child Maligno has always liked to live in the midst of mess and dirt and mistreat animals, enemy number one of the environment, he lives polluting the air and waters doing work on command while the Cobras act." I built him on a Dragonsky base with custom cast parts. ![]() Updates frequently! The goal of this project is simple, to have a figure of every Cobra character, including allies. Basically, I intend to have the entire expanded threat matrix. To achieve that goal I have made more than 200 customs to date, the majority of which I have never shown. With this tread I will begin featuring this collection. I've been making customs since the start of the 25th line so some of these are quite old now and had limited parts available. The newer ones came out better, with better parts, better paint and better painting skills. I have not made everyone yet, but I do have a lot at this point. I've tried to integrate every possible named Cobra character from any and all continuities. Here are the rules for this Cobra-verse and points that may differ from cannon. 1) All characters are still alive (for the most part), and exist in the same time frame. So Dr. Venom works alongside Dr. Mindbender, etc. 2) Several Cobra characters have been depicted without ever being named. I've created code names for them where appropriate. 3) Some continuities have vastly different depictions of certain characters. For example Female Big Boa, or Black Headman. In some cases, I have split them off as their own characters with their own codenames. 4) My focus is currently on individual operatives, and not so much on troop types. Mostly because I would want at least 4-6 of each troop type and don't really like making the same figure over and over. 5) Cobra-La does not and never did exist. 6) Storm Shadow is firmly loyal to Cobra Commander and has never worked with the Joes. This collection is a perpetual work in progress, so I intend to upgrade some of the older figures with better versions in the future. Some are pretty involved, others are more like LBCs. Some are common recipes and others I have never seen anyone make. I much prefer making customs than taking pictures of them. There is a lot of work involved in posting all of these up for you guys to see and this hobby is only one of many things requiring my time. So, please, leave some feedback so I know someone cares and I stay motivated to keep doing this. I've got about 100 more to post up as of January 2022.

Looks nice! Wish Hasbro had just made him instead of the guy that we got in the last 50th wave.

Simple Night Creeper Leader mod, because I hated the yellow on him. The purple on the cast mask matches better in person.
