Hi fellow Tankers,
Ive been working on a project to card some of my really rare loose ARAH figures for ones that either never came carded or are international models and created a new concept (something of a kitbash artistic style) and would like to get some feedback on what the community thinks. The pics below are some samples of card art for the following figures. The first series is a COBRA specific one - I always felt that the colorful COBRA characters should have their own card style instead of just the standard Joe Logo - (Cobra Commander would be proud) so I went to work creating one and Im very excited how they turned out. Let me know what you think. Every cardback is designed with a front and back (with my take on the relating filecard) as well as the toy manufacturer/country the figures came from. So far the series includes cardbacks for the following COBRA figures: 1. Cobra De Aco - New Artwork I found that was created for the 2011 Joecon release of this Brazilian favorite. (I actually have 4 different card versions of this one for both the Estrela and Joecon figs.) 2. Cobra Invasor - 2 Styles with both Silver and Red Cobra logos on the Snake Eyes chest - Estrela Comandos Em De Acao & A very cool Unique image from a GI Joe trading card I found. 3. Mickey Mouse Cobra Commander - the 1982 Mail Away and the 2011 Joecon reissue with the white "Mickey" logo. 4. A new version of Storm Shadow is in the works as well as firefly - should be ready by next week. Originally, these were only going to be used for my collection but if anyone would like any of the cards I already made or future releases coming soon, just let me know. My Joe series will be starting soon as well as the "faction" series like Nightforce, Dreadnoks, Python Patrol, Tiger Force etc. I also am open to doing custom cards for any of the amazing custom figures you have in your collection in my unique style should that interest you. Every Joe and Cobra deserves a bubble home with cool Artwork to look at --- LOL. I look forward to your feedback. Cheers! - Yo Joe & COBRAAAAAAAA!

The cards look so cool! I am working on a custom Cobra team, and I would love some cool card art like that.

That is awesome, it's a shame the club didn't do that. I love what you've done there, I would buy those to compliment my old club sets.

The idea is pretty good and most of the cards look great. The only thing I dislike is the Cobra title logo at the top of the card. It looks a bit naff, to me.
Also, I think you made a little mistake on the front of the Cobra Commander card, where you put his code name as Supreme Leader, instead of Cobra Commander. |

Thanks for the feedback Dark Lord.
The filecard that came with my 2011 Con exclusive "Mickey Mouse" Cobra Commander states his new code name is Supreme Leader. Guess he gave himself a promotion...LOL Cheers, Dayna |

On the file card on the back, it states his code name is Cobra Commander, so if you copied the text from the 2011 Con card, then that card was wrong. Hey, if only a few are like that, and not all of them, it might be worth something!
