2012 Inferno BAT (The Black Major)
2012 Inferno BAT (The Black Major) Another week of “just not feelin’ it”, so another random Cobra recolor. Here’s The Black Major’s Inferno BAT, a figure I like an awful lot, but never did as much with that I once … Continue reading

2016 Cobra Trooper (Techno Viper Colors) (The Black Major)
2016 Cobra Trooper (Techno Viper colors) I’m feeling pretty burnt-out on Joe this week, and I think my solution for that going forward is that I’ll just write about one of the many color variations that The Black Major has … Continue reading
2017 TBM Alley Viper (Reverse Colors)
2017 TBM Alley Viper (Reverse Colors) In terms of TBM figures, my favorite run was probably the 2017 Alley Vipers. They felt very new given the mold was never used before, and the original paint masks created for the second … Continue reading
2018 Manleh (Red Laser Customs)
2018 Manleh (Red Laser Customs) In 2018, Red Laser Customs, a very similar entity to the Black Major, made a massive set of 19(?) figures. Among a plethora of Spy Troops characters and original creations, there were remakes of the … Continue reading

2010 Plague (The Black Major)
2010 Plague (The Black Major) It’s hard for me to think that it’s been thirteen years since The Black Major did his first run of Snake Eyes figures… Or so I say, but then again, everything with GI Joe collecting … Continue reading
2017 RLA Odin
2017 RLA Odin In the late 2010‘s, we really had it good with factory customs (AKA: bootlegs), so much so that the endless repaints of similar sculpts began to be something collectors took for granted, at least a little bit. … Continue reading
2021 Red Shadow Agent X (TBM Cobra Officer)
2021 Red Shadow Agent X (TBM Cobra Officer) For one of his 2021 projects, The Black Major took a different route from his more typical repaints of popular army builders, and instead made sets of new army builders, from a … Continue reading

2020 Sightline Snake Eyes (TBM Custom)
2020 Sightline Snake Eyes (TBM Custom) 2020 brought us another wave of ‘85 Snake Eyes repaints from the Black Major before he officially retired the mold, and of them he made some intricate and highly interesting repaints. One that stood … Continue reading
2018 Red Laser’s Army Blackout
2018 Red Laser’s Army Blackout The Spy Troops line from 2003 is remembered for it’s terrible sculpts, goofy gimmicks and relatively brightly colored toys. In many ways, the line was poorly done, but in others, it’s still worth remembering. If … Continue reading
Black Major 2017 Cobra Soldado
Black Major 2017 Cobra Soldado There’s going to come a point where my posts about custom Cobra Troopers, Night Vipers and Alley Vipers are going to all sound the same, which is frustrating. However, it’s a risk I’m willing to … Continue reading
