Cobra Executioner       

Description
This figure is based on the nameless executioner-type character you see briefly in the first G.I. Joe cartoon mini-series. Sure, this guy technically did nothing on the show--but he looked cool enough, and I have a bunch of extra Cobra Commander figures. He bravely restrained the slave girl while the Cobra Officer grabs Duke (you think it would have been the other way around), and then searches Dukes shirt pockets to make sure that the girl did not give him any sort of secret device that could somehow help Duke later escape. Perhaps a more thorough search was in order...

Instead of making the figure look exactly like the character on the show, I took some liberties in the color scheme--simplifying it to black and gray, instead of black, gray and...brown. Ugh! And this was before Cobra learned fashion sensibility from Raptor and Crystal Ball.

Special thanks to Niels Kloes of The Netherlands for the whip accessory.
