I've been wanting to do versions of some of the more US obscure characters for awhile, and have slowly been doing so. Their not always dead on representations of what they had been, but I try to have a similar feeling to the originals but with a fresh spin sometimes.
This time up...Red Laser which was little more than a Red Cobra Commander in the UK I tried making one close to that version but every time I did I kept saying...its Cobra Commander. So I did so creative reinventing as I've done in the past. Parts: -RoC Charbroil body, arms and upper legs (modified and removed all yellow) -RoC Snake Eyes lower legs -RoC Cobra Commander Head (clear mask painted silver) -RoC Neo-Viper backpack (modified to fit CB hose) -RoC Flash rifle (painted black) -RoC Charbroil (hose glued into rifle) -RoC Charbroil vest trimmed into shoulder pads And for references the rest of my Red Shadows... Trooper Red Torch Black Major Baron Ironblood Last edited by Owner of a Lonely B.A.T.; 07-27-2019 at 09:05 PM.. |

EXCELLENT JOB!! I really like how all of these came out. I might actually be borrowing a few of these recipes.

Fantastic! I like how you updated the look on some. I hope and pray that someday Hasbro gives us ME Red Shadows.

That has been one of my biggest issues with the Shadows, while I love the concept of another group in the Joeverse they have a very dated look, from Ironblood's Black Knight like helmet to the rehash and blending of the AF line into Joe (Red Laser and others) the characters tend to feel a little like an afterthought. Hopefully tweaking the design a bit gives them a little more identity. |
