Hi guys
Let me start by saying that i haven't done any custom action figures (yet), but this one seems like it could be pieced together without much effort. I never really liked the look of that serpent armor, but always thought that he was kind of a badass during the battle of Springfield (ARAH #49-50). So i'd really like a Springfield version to lead my Cobra troops! Has anyone made a modern version of him, or have any ideas for which parts could be good? Any suggestions will be much appreciated. |

If I was going to do this version, I would use the 50th Gung Ho body with the head, legs and gear from the DVD pack Serpentor.

I used the body of Mindbender, the helmet from the first 25th Serpentor, and repainted the Jedi cloak from an Attack of the Clones Anakin figure.

The optimal solution would be to avoid painting altogether, but mainly to avoid painting skin. Quote:
For the cape, i was thinking of using one of the chains from a Cobra Commander cape, if it's possible to switch it over to a green piece of cloth instead. I'll look into the jedi cape idea though, as cloth just looks wrong on an action figure. |

If you want a rigid cape, the one that came with Shipwreck v6 might work. It's from the Spytroops Shipwreck that was disguised as Cobra Commander, and had a black cape with red Cobra sigils on it.
Do G.I. Joe legs fit on Mythic Legions figures? That might make for a better bare torso look. |

You could attempt to strip off the tattoo with a solvent. I guess. My advice is to not be afraid to paint skin. I used to go to great lengths to avoid painting skin and faces, but once I got over it and figured it out it opened up so many more custom possibilities.
