HISS Tank.com member COL Abernathy, creator of COBRA: AXIS POWER gives us a closer look at some of the custom figures made specifically for the ongoing comic series as well as a glimpse behind the scenes during the making of COBRA: AXIS POWER.
Figures shown were done by COL Abernathy, TheLongestDay & TANK_DRIVER785
Cobra: AXIS POWER is a two-issue action-figure comic book project currently in progress! This project has been developed for amusement purposes only, intended for the entertainment of my fellow ‘tankers and to feed my own desire to tell comic book stories.
“Axis Power” takes place during WWII before the bombing of Pearl Harbor and unveils the mystery of Cobra Commander’s greatest secret: his Cobra was NOT the first.
The story even fits into the continuity of the Marvel and DDP comic series!
The comic book is created using photoshopped pics of custom action-figures. I’ve been working on these specific customs since November ’08, and I’ve recruited some of the finest customizing talent on the ‘tank to create brand new versions of your favorite Cobra characters. In addition to SECRET CUSTOMS still in production for future episodes by even more Hisstank All-Stars,
episodes currently in post-production feature amazing designs and creations by such Hisstank contest winners and front-page regulars TheLongestDay, TANK_DRIVER785, and TTT !

Okay, so if you're reading Axis Power (shame on you if you're not) you're like "WTF? LADY Destro?"
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yDcUlInyblo (here's the link to her episode)
Well, here she is in the flesh (plastic?), custom by TheLongestDay, alongside her hubby, Axis Destro, custom by me.
A clue for Axis fans: she's a HUGE factor in the story. Keep your eyes on her, and you will see two more custom versions of this character (without the mask) in issue #2.
Here's more shots of Destro. Easily one of my favorite customs, if only for design.
One of my favorite characters in the series is The Countess. (You can guess who her counterpart is in the regular joeverse). The Countess comes to Axis Power thanks to TankDriver785.
She's devious and you'll find there's a reason CC wants her followed in part 4...
COL Abernathy says
Speaking of CC...
This is a joint effort between TankDriver785 and TLD. TLD did the head sculpt, everything else is TD7.
check out the cobra logo on the cape!

Very cool!

Here's Colblud and a Viper on not-so-custom bikes, but Colblud's bike has the crap removed from it.
And here's a couple of shots of the horses with custom bridles i made out of painted rubber bands and nail heads. Sorry the pics are not perfect shots, they're taken from actual "footage" from the episode.
