For those followers of Cobra...

Post by Viper_486 »

EDIT:
Sorry all, long work hours and short sleep made this post *way* more muddled than I intended.
We just completed the head sculpt for the 25th anniversary Cobra B.A.T (Battle Android Trooper)

Here is a reference pic of the toy:

And here are the pics of the finished sculpt.

Plan on doing the classic 1986 version this fall.

Let me know what you think.

Looking good! Would you mind posting a pic of the original fig? Some of us aren't up on our Joes.

Nice helmet I'm so glad they didn't do the naff BAT with antennae from recent years

I edited the first post.
Sorry about that, all.
Long days in the shop, and short sleep (preparing for the San Diego Comic Con) have taken their toll on my mental faculties.

The sculpt is indeed a 25th Anniversary Cobra B.A.T. head.

Thought I posted that originally, but guess I only thought I did. :oops:

I can't wait for SDCC to get here, so I can take it easy for a couple weeks, and catch up on my sleep.

We plan on doing the original '86 version this fall.

Have cast the mold, and have pulled 2 already, with a third getting pulled today.
First casting is already trimmed, and prepped for paint.
Will post pics of the finished helm in a couple of days.

Wow! Looking fantastic. Do you sell these at the Convention then? How many do you tend to make? I want one to wear around the office!
