I had some spare parts laying around so I decided to create a new character for my Joeverse: Cobra Strategist, Code Name: Mastermind I still need to make a Cobra logo for his chest, but overall, I'm pretty happy with this custom. Let me know what you think. OB

good idea and always good to see new characters too. Your paints are well done, and the SJ head and the helmet looks good with that body, Tim |

I really like this idea and your fig looks great (way to salvage that goofy SJ head  ) - I can see myself borrowing a lot from this custom.The playset/dio and map board is what's really blowing me away, though - great execution all the way around! |

Thanks for the feedback guys. It's my first mini-dio and it is actually quite simple. I threw it together with some toys leftover from other lines. When I thought up the character of Mastermind, I felt I needed to place him in his environement to setup his backstory etc. Anyhoo, here are some more pics:

The playset alone deserves its own posting. The parts you "threw together" look great. The character is a good idea with a nice bio. Painting the upper and lower half of the CC body in different colors immediately brakes up the recognizable flow Hasbro's thrown at us a billion times now. It really has a new look with the two color combination. As for the head, something about it didn't feel quite right to me. I think it's the color of the beard. It's very close, if not identical, to the grey you used for the jacket/top. You use complicated and varied color schemes on your figures and repeating the grey, especially on an "organic" part of the figure looks a bit off. This figure would be dramatically improved by either darkening/lightening the beard or putting a wash on it. Just my two cents. |

Cool custom, but awesome set! Mastermind is neat, and that's a good way to put another 25th CC to good use. Were any of the set pieces made from scratch? |
