I'd been working on a Cobra Commander costume for a while now, and it was great to see how people reacted during Holloween when I walked around stores in it.

Doing the Cobra Commander voice, and thinking of whitty quips to say to people was really fun. It was really awesome that I coud walk up to people I knew and they had no idea who I was .

I had some little kids recognize me, and say "Hey Cobra Commander!" I promtly soluted them.

The helmet was awesome.
The one way mirror FX was so wicked.
It's interesting to be able to see other people and they arnt really sure if your looking at them or not. I could have been checking chicks out the whole time and they wouldnt have had a clue. This is an detail to the helmet that is really very scary.One reasone why I opted for this over that KKK like hood.

All the strange experesions I was making as I thought hard on what I would say next to them never showed threw. The huge grin on my face as people smashed on their brakes as I walked by, priceless.

Leaveing the store, and yell "Retreat! Retreat!" That was hilarious!

I would have worked in it, but the helmet made it difficult to hear, be heard. So I couldnt talk to customers int he store well. Also the cape was a work hazard.



I had to make it from my Darth Vader voice changer helmet, and it took me weeks to get the paint job to a point that was passable.

I saw a picture of Cobra Commander from the GI Joe animated movie as insperation for the costume. Not 100% accurate but very imposing.

Thought about adding a black cobra armband like the Nazi's had to make it really dark, but decided against that. Next time.

So cool to have something primo to cosplay in.
