Cobra C.L.A.W.S. here uses the 2003 12" Cobra C.L.A.W.S. figure. He's made to resemble the first 2002 3 3/4" Cobra C.L.A.W.S. figure. All right, that's enough of that acronym!

For the first time since Hasbro started issuing their 12" G.I. Joe vs. Cobra line, I was actually able to use the boots the figure came with! But what's really nice about this figure is that his shirt and pants come from a Hall of Fame MP outfit. What's the big deal? The outfit was originally white! I wanted to dye it red rather than search forever for already existing clothing or create it myself. (I'm terrible at sewing!) I tried going the cheap route first and using food dye: that made it a light pink. So I tried actual clothing dye: that just made it a little darker shade of pink. Finally, I soaked it in my red paint and water and let it dry overnight. That worked quite well! This guy just looks so bad-ass!
