I took apart a 25th anniversary cobra trooper and repainted, and re-equipped him. I know it is just a repaint, but I thought it was a good start. I present to you The Cobra Maintenance Trooper!

I used country tan acrylic paint, the wrench and screwdriver are from some lego set, and the plunger is actually the sucker arm off of a Character Options Dalek Sec. I am waiting on the cobra emblem to come from my sticker guy.

Yeah, it is disproportionately large, but I couldn't find a scale one (or mop bucket).

What do you mean? I took him apart, repainted, added the accessories, and made the card.

I am not a huge fan of the 25th figures, they legs seem to be a bit spindly.

When people have a serious clog, they call a plumber.

When the plumbers need help, they...call... COBRA ! (queue the Quinn Martin production music).

My son likes GI Joe so this is something we can do together. I also made him a base.

I don't see you losers mocking the guys that customize McFarlane figures. This isn't any different. :mad:

Does he really need a helmet to use a wrench and plunger, Matthew?

Umm...no.

I've never saw Thurman Thomas with a toilet plunger.

OJ with a butcher knife....maybe.

OSHA safety standards Marshall. OSHA is especially tough on terrorist organizations.
