Nothing special here. Just a simple LBC formula I wanted to try out. I did have to dremel out the heads a bit to fit the neckpost properly and the hoods had to be dremeled to fit the helmets. And a little black paint to the necks to match the face masks.

Head, legs: 25th Cobra Trooper
Torso, arms: 25th Arctic Snake-eyes
Rifles, beret: Marauder Inc.
Cobra logo sticker: Reprolabels

Yeah the stickers lay flat just fine but try to bend them around an edge and they don't work so well. I may move these up to the left shoulder. I just tried it out on the arm since its molded to have the logo for the Snow Serpent.

Glad you guys are digging them. If I had the parts I'd totally troopbuild these. I LOVE arctic troops.

I'm with ya MS, I LOVE arctic troops too. These are GREAT, I've said this about figures in the past, and I sincerely mean this now, I hope Hasbro does something like this as well so we can all have awesomeness liek this.

Me too, if I liked 25ths.
Seriously though very nice figures for LBC's.

Joanieloveschachi those are awesome!

I'd buy those buggers for sure. Simple and easy, just the way I like em. And happily enough that's also the sort of thing Hasbro likes to kick out as filler in new waves :D

Awesome work!

These are fantastic. I'll be buying some extra Arctic SE's now for sure. Hasbro should make these. I love them!
