I picked this up on impulse today, mostly because I want the head to diversify my Cobra troops a bit.

I decided to play around, see if I could dye him all black. It didn't quite work, but the result is kinda interesting. Cobra logo and striping turned a slick gold on black.

Kinda trying to decide where to go from here.

Looks pretty cool to me as is, nice and muted. I'm not sure I'd add much more than a few highlights here and there, it already looks like a stealthy version. :)

Continued.......Hazardous Enviroment trooper maybe. Gas trooper? Flame Thrower guy? I'm still thinking on it.

I wonder if someone at Hasbro did something similar years ago which led to those newer PP figures with the same sort of colour scheme you have here. I'm thinking the 2000s I believe, where we got the likes of Major Blood with that maroon and gold pattern.

You could be right.

All finished now. PP Officer died black. Barbeque Backpack and hose died black. Gas gun - thrift store find. Head - weird Roman Reigns figure I got on clearance years ago that had an alternate gas mask head.
