Cobra Commander (Arctic Outfit)

Another custom for my Cobra Arctic Squads, this time it's Cobra Commander!

I started with the arctic Snake Eyes figure from the 25th Anniversary Collection, Wave 8 and popped him completely appart. Using the upper and lower torsos, bottom of jacket, hood and arms/hands from the Snake Eyes along with the legs, gun and heads from Cobra Commander figures, I started this custom. I sprayed the Snake Eyes parts with grey primer first, then flat white for the color. I then added details with flat black and silver for the buttons, belt buckle and belt. His gloves were painted flat black as well and used a red Cobra symbol sticker from cobrastickers.com for his left arm. Once the parts were all painted and dried, it was time to put him back together and re-glue his torso.
