Easily my favorite Cobra character. I think I have a thing for masked characters. Maybe I should see someone about that.
Anyways. I went through the same ideas with Firefly as I did with Snake Eyes. I wanted something that was more...real. The POC Firefly is goofy. A cool figure for sure, but goofy. I went through my fodder figures looking for a base body that I could throw a vest on that wouldn't look too bad. I stopped on the RIA body I had started a custom with. I added the POC Shock Trooper vest and head. The head alone on the body was too damn tall...but for some reason adding the vest made it look fine. Next I scoured for legs. The POC Beachhead legs seemed to fit the look I was going for. I removed that stupid wire and the extra mags from his right leg and added a holster. I also removed the shoulder knife from the POC Beachhead and added it to the back of the Shock Trooper vest. I like the gun, but might change it. Obviously he needs paint. I'm thinking for doing a dark grey with a camo pattern on the legs, but leaving the knew sections the color they are. |

UPDATE!!
I did some painting tonight. God, I hate painting. It's THE most tedious part of customizing to me. I can part out ten different figures in a night without flinching, but tell me I have to paint them and I'm done. I plan on adding some black camo to the pants. I'm up in the air about the head. I might leave it as is, but I might paint it black...I don't know. The upper arms still need to be painted black to get rid of the 'weathering' Hasbro added. Oh yeah...I have pictures too. Let me know if there are areas that I missed on the legs, or places that look wonky. |

I like it. I say if you do the mask go the same gray as the pants. This is a great parts combo.

The camera doesn't hide anything. I thought he was done...but now I see many, many places I need to touch up.
I went through every single Marauder weapon I own trying to find something that would fit his character. I finally ended with an M4, but I didn't like the length of it over all. I did some research online and found a few pictures of the gun with a shorter stock, and a shorter barrel. I modded the gun and added a front grip and sight. I need to give it a light silver dry brushing to make it look less like a plastic toy. This is my modded version with removable silencer. This is a comparison shot with the base Marauder M4. |
