CUSTOM CREATIONS: GI Joe: Cobra Desert Kaftar Trooper by JR0d28


HISS Tank forumite and GI Joe customiser JR0d28 produced this awesome Cobra Desert Kaftar Trooper as part of an ''extreme conditions'' line of custom figures and was kind enough to allow me to share it with you today.

As he explains:

I got the idea that the Joes had Mutt and Junkyard and Law and Order. I figured the Desert set was originally going to come with a Croc Master with an AVAC head in desert colors. It was cancelled and the set ended-up with 2 desert CGs. So I figured on a desert trooper with a striped hyena, or as it's called in Middle Eastern folklore, a Kaftar. 

Perhaps the coolest part is that JR0d28 also included the ''recipe'' for this custom figure:

Recipe for Kaftar Trooper
Entire Figure - Pursuit of Cobra Rock Viper
Head - Custom painted desert red scarf trooper
Helmet - Spare one from desert figure
Goggles- Pursuit of Cobra Zartan disguised head
Rifle -  Enviromental Trooper
TNT Bag -  Tunnel Rat CP version
Leash - Spare one from either Mutt or Order (can't remember which)
Hyena - got in parts
