That's not Wild Weasel.

All kinds of awesome, Mando. Looks great. He just needs a Skystriker to carve up.

Ripper is spot on!! Love his rifle.

Makes me want to create the 3 'Noks, but I need to finish the ones on my plate first.

Freaking Awesome Mando! Love it!!!

Thanks a lot guys!

I've had the majority of the figure ready just needed a good head. Props to Stealthfox for suggesting the Costa head. A little work and its perfect for Rip!

The glasses are from Barbie I think, or possiby Jem. Found them at a garage sale during one of my vintage kicks. The knife is a pollished Hasbro turd. The gun should be pretty obvious.

Re: The Snake Pit (Mando's Cobras)

You nailed Ripper Mando! The headsculpt couldn't be any better and the glasses are an amazing find. Love the modded rifle.

Aircraft?????? That is a perfected Crimson Guard.

Re: The Snake Pit (Mando's Cobras)

Aircraft? I guess she confused CG with Wild Weasel.

Re: The Snake Pit (Mando's Cobras)

Yeah sideshow needs to hire several of you guys.

 

[EVILFACE]

Re: The Snake Pit (Mando's Cobras)

They wouldn't even have to hire me. I would do it for free.

It would be like Tom Hanks office in Big. All the SW guys would be jealous because they just get to sit around and paint clones all day. Of course they could always come down and play Joes.

I'd also introduce Laser Tag Fridays... Just sayin.

Sounds awesome! Let me know if you need someone to answer phones or get you the Giants/Broncos Super Bowl on video cassette without commercials.

Re: The Snake Pit (Mando's Cobras)

I finally put the finishing touches on my CC redux. I modded the original "Bradstreet" version after it came out to look a little more regal, but always hated his chest flap and that giant cobra on the mask.


This is how he looked before: (old photo)

Meanwhile....

While he's not as similar to that design the whole figure is nod to the Hall Of Fame Cobra Commander from the early 90s. The toyline that brought us where we are today.

Matched the fabric and made him a whole new chest flap. The gold trim and buttons are repurposed from the Crimson Guard. Never throw anything away. EVILFACE provided the decals. And yes I still like my plastic SSC jackboots on CC.
