Incinerators - Cobra Flamethrowers

Hey! I colored his flamethrower the wrong color!

Oh well, maybe he's using an older model...

Another figure I never had, and one that I will never remember the name of. In the Ultimate Guide to G.I.Joe by Mark Bellomo, he mentions some of the alternate possible names for this figure, like Salamanders. For some reason, one of those alternate names -- Wicks -- Really stuck in my head and I always think of this figure as "Cobra Wicks", even though it's totally not.

I added a green stuff backpack to the Heroclix Mob Rule mini. Yeah, I didn't try *too* hard to make the backpack look like the fuel tanks, but hey...close enough, right?

Snow Serpent (V2) - Cobra Snow Trooper

The G.I. Joe cold weather troops have always come with an assortment of cool gear: skis, snow shoes, ice cleats, etc. So it was only a matter of time before we got one with a snowboard.

The big surprise to me is instead of getting a Joe with a snowboard and a back story about Xtreme sports or something, we got a Cobra troop builder.Which means Cobra has not just one, but whole legions of troopers armed with weapons and snowboards.

That's how committed they are to their cause.

For the new Snow Serpent, I used Rocket Racer and trimmed the wheels off his skateboard.

I'm not sure what he's snowboarding on...maybe the snow is melting but he's making the most of what's left.

Radical.

Interrogator - Cobra Battle Copter Pilot

Wait, shouldn't "Interrogator" be his function instead of his name? But then what kind of name is "Cobra Battle Copter Pilot"?

Another figure that I never had but liked the look of. His Battle Copter is kind of silly looking though, so I guess he upgraded to a winged jet pack.

I used a Heroclix Mach 1 for Interrogator. I used green stuff to give him the crossed straps and space for the Cobra logo. I guess I could have tried to give him that weird egg beater gun, but...nah...
