Blank Cobra Soldier - Customizer variant?

Posted in Identify Help

I have been collecting GI Joe figures since the early eighties and buying and selling them for the past ten years or so and I like to think I am somewhat of an expert on them. However, I still find new ones and learn things about them all of the time. I recently acquired a large collection and this came with it. The seller didn't know much about it and I have been unable to find out much info on it. The figure appears to be a mold of the Cobra The Enemy version 1.5 (swivel-arm) from 1983 but there is no Hasbro or date stamp on it. If anyone has ever seen one of these before or knows anything about it do tell!

Thanks for the reply, Dr Nightmare! I actually found out a little more about it. Called Blank White Proto-Trooper and was made by a guy calling himself Red Laser (took over from Black Major). He apparently casts custom GI Joe figures and sells them. Not sure how he gets around trademarks and such.

Cool, thanks for the follow-up. I like the idea, guess it's like getting blank Dunnys to customize.

Wish there were more people out there, like Boss Fight Studios, etc., making blanks and generic parts compatible with 6 and 4 inch figs to customize. Feet, hands, helmets, etc.

Probably just a factory sample/prototype, like all the ones on ebay that bootleggers produce and try to sell for $100 lol

I would be tickled if that were some kind of "customizing variant", but considering the big companies have never done that kind of thing, I have to doubt it.
