Simple kitbash (*EDIT* LBC, lol), but effective IMO. I've been wanting to pick up the 25th era Cobra Bazooka Trooper but I had trouble hanging with the 25th-style body type, which sadly has not aged well in that figure's case.
Anyway, got my hands on a few Dollar General wave 2 blue Cobra Troopers, and I knew just what to do with one of them. Here he is...I put the awesome 25th Bazooka Trooper webgear on him, added the missing pistol/silencer/knife to his leg holsters, and swapped out his blue knee pads for black ones, just to break up the blue a little more. What do you kids think?

Dude it's a LBC, we talked about this like yesterday!
Big upgrade as far as I'm concerned. Good job.

Looks great. I know its a discount figure but I so wish the boots were black... Oh well can't have everything. I am no customizer so I won't even attempt to paint them myself.

Black is probably the easiest to paint with... and the boots are the easiest part of the figure to paint, give it a try on another figure you don't mind practicing on and get the technique down. You can do it.

Yeah, as much as I love the wave 2 DG trooper, I do wish the boots and gloves were black. But adding the weapons to the holsters and the black knee pads helps a lot...so does adding the black and gray webgear from the wave 1 DG trooper.
But regardless, we're essentially getting the PoC/30th Cobra Trooper for only 6 bucks, so I'll deal. I just wish these babies were easier to find. Quote:
Thanks for the comments, guys!
