Oh, I'll get the Baroness or any female figure they make. Skipping the statues though. The good news is with Baroness announced, more females will be following  I picked up a custom Slaughter head from a friend on the Sideshow forums. The guy did/does amazing work. I've got the body and most of his gear on the way. I'll have to scratch build a baton, I can handle that. Pretty easy bash. |

CG arrived today. My mystery figure was Desert Cobra Sniper. Nice freebie. CG is better than I expected, not perfect, but pretty darn good. Much much better than the Cobra Viper IMHO. I'll switch out his hands to solid black Cobra trooper style ones. I will probably change his gold dress cord to a silver one down the road, and paint the gold buttons silver too, that's about it...oh, I've seen people upgrade him with just a couple black belts and pouches that really add to the original look, prolly do that too. Helmet could be a little wider at the top, and the lower part should get painted the same color. There's some very minor "battle weathering" to a couple edges on the helmet I wish they didn't do. Weathering should be up to the owner to do. The backpack is amazing Boots are spot on, the uniform is bright, but not too bright, overall just a really nice figure out of the box. He deserves a solid 9/10. If there's only one Cobra soldier to get, it's this one. I'll take some crappy pics tonight or tomorrow. |

I need to make a baton for him, but he's pretty much done. For now he's using a standard G.I. JOE cartoon laser rifle which is just fine. The flash on the camera makes the skin not match up with the head, but in person it's not noticeable. The body I used for him is huge, he's the biggest figure I have. Again, super easy custom bash once you have the head. Great way to get one of the most iconic JOE figures, and Sideshow probably won't do him either. |

Falcon is having a bad day.  I begin construction on my house this year, I actually own land now, and it will be a blast to take shots like this in an outdoor setting. And yes, back by popular demand Felix De Cobra has made his debut in the Sideshow series   I need to give him a silver Cobra Emblem and begin construction on a 1/6 Viper Glider I will probably add ranks and decorations to the Crimson Guard uniforms. A lot of times in the comics the CG's were never drawn with that stuff, so it's not a huge deal to me to leave that stuff off. I really like the cloth uniform over the pleather ones they came with. CG's are done.  Zartanz new body. I'm very happy with how he's turned out. Still need to attach the knife to his boot, and probably ditch the holster, but I don't think I'll be doing anymore updating on him.  |

Got the Arashikage Ninja Temple today The package weighed 44 pounds, it's the biggest collectible I've ever bought. I was going to wait until my new house was finished to open it, but I couldn't wait. The picture back drop is nice, it flips over for a night scene.   |

That looks huge! Is it plastic, or something else?
