A mini project of a few Cobras I've never really customed before. Just doing some slightly different takes, as for the most part, I don't have an issue with the best of the official releases of these characters.
First up is Cobra Commander

Here's Destro.
a few design notes- wanted to work more grey into the design to homage that look, but in the end settled for the subtle nod in the tie. Also was originally going to matte the red armor, but after it was done, I kind of liked the look, and thought, given Destro's fashion proclivities, the garrish, glossy red seemed fitting. Also impossible to tell in the photos, but the shirt and the collar are slightly different shades of red as they wouldn't be made from the same material in real life.

Never had much thought for doing a Baroness custom. The 50th one, other than the head, is pretty much definitive. But, Stronox did an armored version that I thought looked pretty cool, and then Classified used a similar design in the promotion material (even though the final figure was just black, I think). So, this is a riff on those. It's trickier and trickier to come up with unique combos with the limited female parts, but I'm still trying.
Painted the torso in a black metallic color, but it doesn't pop that well in the photos. Or really at all. And I gave her a gold gun with ivory grips because its something I think Slice would do. And before anyone asks, she had glasses, they fell on the floor without me knowing, and my chair rolled over and crushed them, so for now, she's wearing contacts.

So, most of these have been original designs drawn from different influences. This is the only one that is basically an ME update to v6.
Too many original Fireflies, and I didn't want to be derivative of another customizer's work, namely Slice.

Bludd is probably my favorite, at least in concept. So, this homages, or I guess mostly copies, the aesthetics of v1, but let's not forget this guy is a working mercenary. He's not always palling around with CC. So, my thought here is a version that isn't ready for battle, but deep in a jungle in South America or Southeast Asia training guerillas and do other associated brigand/war profiteering type shit. I always felt Bludd was greedy, selfish, and ruthless, but never evil. Certainly not a guy who believes in chaos and violence for its own sake.

So, the idea behind this version was just a guy chilling in his bayou, maybe hunting a gator or two. Sunday afternoon Zartan- not putting on airs for anyone, but still ready to throw down, but also ready to head down the road and grab some BBQ and watch the game at the local Noks biker bar.
