The shelf is from Ikea. It's a bit low end, but functional. https://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/50214678/ |

Just some updated pictures.
I am still debating whether to dump the Cobra v. Joes display and just make a big, front facing Cobra display with my HISS tanks in the background. I have to say that the highlight of modern collecting are the Cobra army builders. The blueshirt, female trooper, shock trooper, and Crimson Guard are amazing sculpts with great accessories (the Viper and Iron Grenadier are disappointing, but I never really liked them as a kid either). The lowlight are the female Joes. I consistently overestimate how they will look and have too many.

I bought some Marauder gear to spice up the troopers. I think I like the goggles, but the mini AK-47 that I thought might be a substitute for the Sunbow Cobra laser isn't as impressive.
The Sunbow / Snow Job Joe rifle from Marauder, though, is awesome. It makes me want to buy more Joes to wield it.

I like that mini-AK a lot, but it is a real old item. The new version is much fancier:
https://www.marauderinc.com/product-p/710003.htm ...but it doesn't look much like the cartoon guns, either. The MP40 has a more similar profile to the cartoon gun: https://www.marauderinc.com/product-p/p-610002.htm https://www.marauderinc.com/product-p/610002.htm ...and you can buy some scopes to glue onto them, too. https://www.marauderinc.com/category...how=300&page=1

I didn't get the MP40 because I thought it might be too big/long. I thought the mini-AK matched the profile enough (minus the scope) It's just not quite as good of a match in person. It's also quite thin compared to his newer stuff.
I bought a bunch of his newer pistols and they are simply amazing. I wish he would cast that Cobra gun.

They will eventually be making the M3A1 Grease Gun with the WWII collection; that one has a near-identical profile and would probably work well.

Personally I would just go with full size AKs instead, mixing in one with a grenade launcher, a bayonet, and so on. Maybe an RPG, definitely an RPK.
The SMGs should be limited to indoor or pdw use, IMO. |
