From the workshop of Contraband:
“I’m slowly building my Gijoe&Cobra forces seasoned to my taste. These started off as simple kitbash/customs,nothing more then an accurate repaint of the wave 3.5 retaliation Crimson Guard using DG wave 1 figures as parts,and it turned into some of the center pieces of my personal display which my future figures will be built around. I always try to go for a store bought look with my customs so they match&scan easily display with hasbro’s offerings,maybe a little nicer? but staying a toy,and not a model. coming from a scale modeling background that isn’t always easy for me,so it’s been balancing act to say the least. Ive showed them on the other site,but never really as the set they’re meant to be. anyways, here they are:”

From the workshop of Vegabond:
“This project comes from one of my favorite storylines of all time from the comics! As seen in Marvel issue #55, Cobra Commander and Destro take off there masks and don wigs and fake beards! My question has always been if no one knows what you look like why go in disguise? So I am thinking they look pretty much like this!
I sculpted Cobra Commanders torso tie and vest, and all the facial hair on both, I love how they turned out! Hope you enjoy!”

From the desk of Bucky:
“I saw a great Outback custom at a dealer booth that set the wheels in motion. Not sure who’s it was, but it was a heavy duty roc torso, with dtc outback arms and head. I thought it was a great idea, and decided I wanted to try it, but get away from the Roc torso.”

Mayhem Customs member Darkwise hits us with another Cobra soldier from the ranks of his Domininon: City-Breaker customs.
“These CG’s are not your ordinary Freds. No, each of them is an individual who tested out, or was thrown out of the CG program prior to reconstructive surgery, due to high marks, but overly aggressive means and methods. When these Guardsmen hit the battle, the streets are sure to run thick in crimson violence.”
