Marvel Legends 6" Deadpool
By 1982, Cobra was an international organization. Cobra agents spread through the Third World, using terrorism to subvert foreign governments. One of the G.I. Joe team's earliest missions was to free an American ambassador from Cobra agents working in the Middle East. The little South American nation of Sierra Gordo was another of Cobra's earliest victims.
Unstable governments became Cobra's playground. While G.I. Joe had once been an anti-terrorist organization, it almost exclusively fought Cobra as time went on. The two groups became bitter enemies. The Joes fought Cobra Commander's schemes to assassinate foreign ambassadors and subvert the government of the United States. Cobra used the confusion of the Cold War to its advantage, fighting not only America's G.I. Joe team, but also the Soviets' October Guard.
The original 3 3/4" Cobra Soldier was one of the first figures released carded in the first series (1982). Like all of the original sixteen figures, Cobra was released with "straight arms".
This custom version is a tribute to the original. He was created using epoxy sculpt and Model Master paints.
Enjoy!
