I'm slowly working on a Sunbow-inspired Cobra space shuttle, which will need a crew. In the episode "The Wrong Stuff" Cobra shuttles were shown, but there were no specialized pilots or specialists, IIRC.
Introducing Orbit-Vipers, who fly Cobra's shuttle and maintain its satellites. Shuttle and satellite to follow...

I like it. Creative parts use. They just need a Cobra sigil somewhere.

Wonderful use of parts! Love the sashes and that gold is scrumptious.
I am not in the habit of giving my two cents. Lord knows my creativity is sophomoric at best. But, hey, if you DO decide to put a Cobra Sigil on the Orbit-Vipers, may I suggest a big white sigil smack dab on the gold visor. It would be sorta like the Sunbow Tele-Vipers visors with the words appearing on them. Just spitballing. Either way, the Orbit-Vipers are awesome.

You guys are right about the Cobra logo. Extra right. The best part is that I hadn't thought of this, allowing for better sticker placement. I would have only thought of the leg logos- thankfully since the suggestion came in after the figure was assembled, so the timing allowed me to see that the leg logos needed to be slightly offset to the side to look correct with the figures in whole. Had I planned on the logos, they would have been set over the center seam of the thigh, which would have looked too far to the inside of the legs. As for the helmet logos- I only had two white Cobra logos, one small and one medium. So the medium went on the front of one helmet, and the small on the back of the other. It definitely adds a Sunbow vibe. The one with the front logo also has a bit of the Aliens from the Simpsons' Treehouse of Terror episodes, too. That brings additional fun to the design, perfect for a spaceman. Having one with a face logo and one without also helps designate one as the pilot and one as the satellite technician. Which is which? No idea. Awesome suggestions. I appreciate!

Thanks.
Being one of the relatively few ARAH customizers left, the figures benefit from standing apart from ME and CS figures now. I'm perpetually confused as to how Hasbro wasn't able to see the value left in the ARAH parts catalog when it did its mega-lazy 2000 relaunch.
