AGENT 626 - CODENAME: COBRA

An homage to the B Movie Spy Genre of the the 70's.

Yes, the name is corny... it's supposed to be.

Agent 626 - Codename: Cobra is a custom modified Jakk's Pacific Charlie's Angels Lucy Liu headsculpt, that I straightenedand trimmed the hair on, and made a mount to put it on a CG 2.0 body. The outfit is Triad Toys' Domina 2.0 Black, with the thigh high boots from the Pole Position outfit. Her holsters are from CG Ice, and I have used micro velcro to make the thigh straps for them. Her sidearms are the new sculpt 21C Blued Desert Eagle handguns from the new "Street Heat I" weapon set. IMHO this is the finest Desert Eagle sculpt I have seen... with fantastic detail, great paint apps, quality of the mold, and the fact it has removable magazines and working hammers.

I really like this custom, whilst not very in depth of a custom... only real work was modifying the head, It is one of my favorites. The ensemble of the the great headsculpt (Whilst not Lucy Liu, it is a great Asian sculpt nonetheless), superb quality of the the Triad outfit, and my love of most things "B" Movie make it so.

AMY CINTRON V 4.0

I recently aquired a custom recast of the DML Amy headsculpt that has been modified to fit on a standard CG / PB neckpost. The headsculpt is of a very high quality, the paint apps are quite nice as well, matching the skintone of the new BBI Hispanic PB very nicely. The reason that this is V 4.0 of Amy is that there was the original release Amy as a United States Army National Guard Soldier, Then re-released as an AAFES Exclusive figure by DML released in a pale skintone, and a darker skintone that could be considered possibly AA, but moreso looks to be Middle Eastern because of her features. This head is perfect for those who like the DML head, but aren't to hot for the DML female body.

I recently touched up a few minor paint issues with the head, such as touching up the hairline a bit, and then drybrushing some color onto her hair for some added depth.
Overall, the headsculpt IMHO is well worth the $17 shipped I paid for it.

Also featured in this are some recast gloves from the CG Ultraman "Annu Yuri" figure... which too are of very high quality and are a nice soft rubber... the wrist posts they come with are also a perfect match for the Hispanic PB.

Sister Sabrine

Sister Sabrine is a custom repainted Cy Girl Ice in Triad Toys Salem Knights outfit & bootsleeves made for me byCyseamstress. She is the partner to my Demon Hunter character Raith McKinnon. She is armed with a custom modified BBI M14 Rifle. The small cross is from a pack of die cast scrap booking trinkets that I picked up.

NEW SIGMA SIX G.I. JOES

I have been a fan of the G.I. Joe Sigma Six line for quite a while. My main reason for starting to collect these figures is the fact that they come with such cool 1/6th scaled Sci Fi looking weapons.

Today at Wal Mart I came across some of the new assortment of $10 Sigma Six Joes, Gung Ho and Inferno. I picked up both figures... could have done without Inferno, but he kinda looks cool.

Gung Ho is awesome, the most realistically military themed Sigma Six Joe so far. Whilst he isn't perfectly true to the original Gung Ho (He isn't bald) the headsculpt is cool, has a real badass look to him, and he comes with enough gear to make him a feasibly real Marine. The figure comes with a somewhat sci fi modified M240B Machine Gun... I say Sci Fi Moded as its still identifiable as an M240B, but its redesigned with some added parts to make it look like say a version a couple years down the line... and caseless... the ammo belt for it, looks like the rounds developed for the HK G11 Caseless Assault Rifle. Gung Ho also comes with a removable helmet, a small knife and sheath that can be mounted onto any of the mounting holes for gear that are on the Sigma Six joes, a belt, a chest rig, and a multi tool... which is kinda silly looking. But overall well worth the 10 bucks I paid... an awesome figure.

Inferno is a decent figure, he looks better with all his gear on of course, his headsculpt is kinda lame looking. a decent firefighter character along the lines of the classic RAH Barbecue. Inferno comes with a removable helmet, small O2 tank for the front of his vest, a large tank for his back, and a huge axe.

New 21C Weapons Sets

Hey All,

The new 21C weapon set assortments finally arrived in my area. I must say, that compared to the QC on the last few series, 21C looks to be coming back. I wasn't able to pick up all the sets, though I will be going back to do so, I did pick up the Street Heat II set.

So far basing my opinion of the QC of this assortment off of this set, I have to say I am really impressed. The tooling, sculpts, paint apps, and overall quality of the weapons in this set are great.

I primarily picked up this set for the USAS 12 Auto Shotguns. The set comes with two... one normal with the 20 r0und drum, and the other in a temperate woodland camo with the 10 round box magazine.

The other two weapons in the set were some sort of Benelli shotgun with a modified foregrip and barrel / tube shroud, and a small sawn off. The sawn off is nicely done... with the exception of one thing... no ejection port. And the set also comes with two small pouches, one in black and one in OD Green... they however have no clip or anything to attach them to gear? So they will just wind up being gear stuffers.

My only complaint / desire for this set would have been the inclusion of more mags for the USAS 12s. Even if they only included one drum, a second 10 round box magazine in black would have been great, being as the box magazine if for the camoed one, and its of course in camo.

When I decide who is going to get the gear, I'll post some pics.
