I love the new Pursuit of Cobra line, and the fact that Hasbro is giving us themes like City Strike, Desert, Arctic, and Jungle. I decided to go through my fodder bin and make a few more team members for each unit. Up first is City Strike. These are almost all kitbashes and easy customs that could be put together quickly. I may paint some of these up later on, but for now I consider them complete.
Here is the first group. From the left to right we have Flint, Rollbar, Tripwire, and Skydive. Flint is a near copy of another great custom on the Tank, only with a resolute head. Rollbar is an Indiana Jones German Soldier head with Airborne helmet and Pit Commando body and Vest. Tripwire is the head from the Wal Mart pack, with and Ice Viper body, fodder hands, and Pit Commando vest. Finally, we have Skydive. I love that Hasbro is giving us new characters, but I don't like how many of them have recycled heads or masks. So I went ahead and made a Skydive to go along with the new one coming out in the next wave. It is a Terminator Salvation head, with Firefly vest, Resolute Duke body, Rex face mask, and Pilot Scarlett helmet. Next up is Mercer & Spearhead. Mercer is a simple General Hawk head on POC Beachhead body. As soon as I saw POC Dusty's head, I thought Spearhead. So POC Dusty got a 25th Dusty head, and I use the POC Dusty head for multiple Spearhead customs. Next we have Muskrat, Low Light, & Law & Order Next we have Shipwreck, Scarlett (who will be painted later on), and Snake Eyes thrown in for good measure. Finally, I copied another great custom on the Tank to create Shockwave (left). And pictured to the right is Hit & Run. Shockwave is Resolute Duke body with Para Viper head and goggles, and Shockblast helmet. Hit & Run utilizes the City Strike Duke body, the harness from multiple ROC figures, and the arctic Duke head. Since I'll be using the POC Duke heads as my go-to's for Duke, I figured I'd be able to recycle the Channing Tatum sculpt for Hit & Run. I actually painted up a bunch of the Channing faces with different patterns for Hit & Run. I'll post those another time. |

Very cool! I really would like Hasbro to make a SpearHead, because your SpearHead customs makes me want to use my POC Dusty head for one!

Thanks ponygt. I ended up troop building the Dusty's with alternate masked heads, so that left me a few of the heads to work with. I ended up making a 25th ARAH inspired Spearhead & Max, a desert version, and a version in Pit fatigues. I'll post those in the next few days.
