The Crimson Viper's fantastic! Just a hell of a paint job on him; not just the quality, but the whole color scheme in general is great.
Love the Crimson Guard Immortal too. The Marauder parts are perfect for him. |

The Immortal is one that I?m happy to finally finish. Had him 90% of the way there so just getting the casted head and applying the paint really helped get him over the finish line.

This next one came together as a happy accident. When making plans to finish my Crimson Guard Immortal, I ordered a regular Crimson Guard head cast by accident so that led me hunting for something interesting to do with it. Then I found the Crimson Guard v7 from the Direct to Consumer line. I was not familiar with this version of the guard but immediately loved the more dress uniform look of it! The casted head I had fit perfectly on the extra body I had sitting around and we were off!
So easy build for the most part with a few tweaks added to spice him up. Started with a red Marauder German, gave the jacket a fire red paint job and the pants I did a mix to get close to what the original v7 figure seemed to have. Hit the boots, gloves and collar with some black to make them pop more. For the head, some more fire red, black and a bit of chrome marker to give it that Crimson Guard look. The original figure had some cool sculpt on the shoulder pads, then also had a silver cobra emblem and some elbow pads so I decided to tackle these parts with some green stuff. So some little metal bits sculpted on his shoulders, straps and elbow pads to break up the red on his arms and a flat area above his bicep to give me a nice landing pad for a decal. Finished it off with a little black paint & chrome marker on the belt, pouches and sword and he was good to go! Really loving this look for the Crimson Guard. Not sure if he?ll be added to the Crimsin Strike team or just be paired with a set of the Twins yet but it?s one I?m loving seeing in the collection now. Really gives me appreciation for what Hasbro did with their version of it in 2005. Crimson Guard v7 It?s hard to see in all the pics because of how tight the opening is but the visor looks great all chrome out. With my Crimson Strike Team: With my other versions of the Crimsin Guard: And sending them all out on a mission for Destro!

Thanks!
It should just be a cast of the Retaliation Crimson Guard head, grabbed it off eBay from Cobra1678 and with how the hole was pre-drilled, fit perfectly on the German body: https://www.yojoe.com/action/13/crimsonguard16.shtml

Okay so as usual my knowledge of Joes is only from the 80s. I only know one version of Crimson Guards. Is this an official version? I like it. Its like if they had existed during the WWII era.

Awesome! Can?t wait to see what you do with him! Quote:
https://www.yojoe.com/action/05/crimsonguard7.shtml I wasn?t really familiar with it either until I had the head cast in hand. I wanted something a little different from a v1 Crimson Guard because I have a bunch of those from 25th, so I did some hunting and came across this version. Thanks! Really like it as well, fits in well with my Red Shadows but he took enough turns away from that formula to not just make him look like a rehash of that custom with a different head. Always fun to dig out these lesser known 2000?s builds to put some shine on them. I have so few figures from 1996-2006 so it?s a fun era to customize in.
