MARION COBRETTI-COBRA

[T-800]

Hi There,
I am relatively new to this site, but i have been customizing 1/6 scale for a while. My latest edition is Stallone from the movie Cobra.
This figure worked out well. I have even gone to the point where if you look closely i have placed a Matchstick in his mouth and added a cobra on his hand gun.

I apologise for the quality of the photos. I used my camera phone

Any feedback or comments will be much appreciated.

Sorry guys i got lazy and copied and pasted my original post from another forum.

I saw your pics of this at Medi World quite a while ago and loved it. Please post some more pics when you can.

Good job man, that looks awesome, I love it!!!!! You just need to add a black trench coat.

Did you use a First Blood body and a Rocky Hot Toys head for this custom?

 

[T-800]

I used the rambo 3 body and a re cast head (which i repainted) from the rocky figure.

Great work on Cobra there T-800! I love it. Like Voorhees here, I'm a HUGE Stallone fan too! I've wanted to make my own Cobra custom figure. Thanks for the tips on what parts you used for yours. Great work, and welcome to the "Sideshow Freaks" board!

By the way...where did you get his clothes, weapons and necklace and glasses from? I hope to make my own Cobra someday soon. Let me know. Thanks!

that's cool.

That is freakin amazing bro!! I've always wanted to try and tackle this, as I absolutely LOVE Cobra. Really one of my favorite films from my childhood. And you really nailed the character, every aspect of him. The match and the cobra pistol are a really nice touch and they make this figure work.

GREAT JOB!!!

 

[JediMike71]

I agree with Josh, that you did an amazing job T-800! Thanks for the "recipe" for your Cobra. That'll help me in making mine someday!
