I've decided that Desert Scorpions are not actually Cobra soldiers, but an independent branch of desert mercenaries.
I've fleshed out the previous team, and made a minor update here and there to some of the old ones Names are derivative of actually scorpion names, though mostly arbitrarily assigned. Emperor Scorpion (Desert Scorpion Commander): Deathstalker (hand-to-hand and stealth operations specialist): Red Claw (Heavy Gunner): Shield Scorpion (Infantry): Dictator Scorpion (Field Commander): Rock Scorpion (Sniper): Sand Scorpion (Recon): The Nest:

I like those. They remind me of those guys from the mummy that are suppose to protect the mummies' gravesite but an evil version.

I?m struggling to make one Desert Scorpion and you bang out SEVEN different INCREDIBLE versions! You?ve been crushing it again, just one killer 90?s figure after another and all such unique builds. Making me jealous!
Love spinning them into their own group with unique names, personalities & roles, remind me of sand people how you set them up. So cool how you collected all of the recognizable hoods & headgears instead of just picking one favorite and using the same for every member. Then having the same style of uniform but going with different thighs & arms for each character, just absolutely crushed it with this group. I think Shield Scorpion is my favorite but you throw any of them on my shelf and I?m ecstatic. Then Sand Scorpion is a fantastic add to the group. Female versions of the troop builders don?t always work for me but you made sure she could stand on her own as a kickass figure even outside of a group.

This might be my favorite group set of the last year.
Amazing work on all, and the carry-through on the theme from figure to figure is perfect. |
