Cobra Commander Resolute (WIP images)

[Crimotaku]

After watching the GIJOE Resolute movie, i decided that i should try bring good ol' Cobra Commander back into real life. But instead of the 1980s version, going with the more evil and straight to the point version of the 2010s.

Based my design on this picture

and there was the action figure as well for a clearer view

then managed to find some unbranded ammo pouches and a 1:1 scale mauser. removed all springs within so it cannot be fired.

The boots and gloves were found on ebay and made some alterations like the red leather sewed onto gloves.

Turning from these into these.

Before and After

The awesome helmet that was made with the help of Pit Viper Studios

Custom tailored suit under a 200USD budget

and with all seriousness .. i could resist doing an Uncle Sam >.<

One thing i love about the 501st Legion connections is the awesome stuff they sell to protect armored stuff and props, like helmet bags!

However .. i do need help finding someone who can make Cobra emblems/molds for me to complete the look. So any help would be nice!

Hoping to find something very similar to this Stormshadow Cobra emblem/logo/badge with the details.

I was just thinking about this costume the other day. It is definitely one of the best versions of Cobra Commander ever dreamed up. I can't wait to see it finished!

Wow! I've seen a few good CC costumes. But this one is going to be the best.

We need a more bad ass CC in this day and age. No more "Cobra Retreat! RETREAT!" for the Cobra forces!

Thanks! only thing left are the Cobra emblems and converting a real saber into a convention friendly one using a bokken. Already got my firearms all sorted out!

Vision is good u can see outside clearer than a Stormtrooper helmet. Issue is the fogging which has to be fixed wearing a balaclava and a biker mask to prevent moist from fogging it up. Anti fog spray helps too.

This helmet is now available from Pit Viper Studios!

Got a bit carried away when i found this picture of me when i was doing some Cosplay Catwalk Fund Raiser. Ah the good ol times! When nearly every cartoon character had their own trading cards!

Very cool Cobra Commander. I have a question about your Storm Shadow. Is the hood home made or did you use a vendor? I would love a better pic.

This Stormshadow aint mine. Its another costumer friend on Facebook in the US. His costume was homemade (the white stuff).

Yes I'm revamping Stormshadow before I (don't tell my wife) start on a Cobra Commander. Yours looks dead on for the cartoon movie. Good job.

Resolute had to be my favorite interpretation of Cobra Commander ever. Kudos on your interpretation
