Cobra Commander World Tour

[vader9900]

I know there is another travelling figure project that Otto is setting up, I have one too. This is based on Flatline's idea a while back of having Cobra Commander on vacation. I have had this custom in the works for a while and just finished him. This project is open to all JoeDios members worldwide. The rules are simple:

1. If you want to join in, post in this thread with your location so we can set up an itinerary for Cobra Commander.

2. Post in this thread when you receive and when you ship out the figure to the next person below you in the list. You will be responsible for shipping to the next person in line. Please take your photo and ship out within 3 to 4 days.

3. Photo must be taken outside with Cobra Commander posed with something of interest in your area. You can add whatever props you like, but please send included accessories (suitcase, satchel & dagger) along with the fig.

4. Post a link to your photo in this thread and tag photo with "vacation"

5. Have fun!

http://www.joedios.com/dioramas/showimage.php?i=27462&c=7

Death he's coming your way!

[giTom]

I'd like to be in on the fun!

McDonough, GA

[Dreadnok Dread]

me too! include me somewhere in there! spokane washington! hit me up guys on here or flickr! you know im good for it might have to include extra stuff as he travels like souvenirs ! :)

[Flatline]

I wanna play :)

[Death_at_Midnight]

I wanna be in!

But not sure where I'll be. In a few months, sometime after July, I'll be traveling to Japan and Thailand. Else I'm here in Texas. However, is it possible to build a custom with matching accessories so that I could take with me on these trips while someone else can keep the momentum of the traveling CC going?

[Otto the Otter]

I get in on this one as well. I'm in Phoenix, AZ

[vader9900]

That will work! I will put you toward the top of the list so you can do something with this one too in Texas.


[QUOTE=Dreadnok Dread]might have to include extra stuff as he travels like souvenirs ! :)[/QUOTE]
That sounds like a fantastic idea!

[LordRaven]

I will be happy to be the first Canadian involved. Winnipeg, MB. (though right now I live about a half hour outside the city)

[Death_at_Midnight]

Postcards he needs too.. as props.. someone should scan them in from time to time to 1/18 scale.

Cobra Passport would be cool too. Maybe red with gold sigil, or cobra blue with red sigil....

This is a cool idea for souvenirs. heheheh

Your getting him next so get something ready! :D

[Death_at_Midnight]

Cool! I'll go buy a traveling brochure tomorrow .. Texas.. it's like a whole other country.. one of those types.. to scan the cover to 1/18.

PM sent with mailing address, btw.

[vader9900]

We need to send Cobra Commander to other places than the US & Canada! You guys in South America & Europe come on and sign up! :D

[r2witco]

If he wants to see the San Francisco Bay Area, count me in! I'd love to play along.

[seamusharper]

Im sure he'd have a blast in Dayton, Ohio. I can get a shot either at the Wright Cycle Shop, Paul Lawrence Dunbar House, WPAFB Air Force Museum, or if its open by then, the Wright Flyer III

[ThinkTank]

count me in. I'm in Lubbock, Texas.

[Rambo]

[QUOTE=vader9900]We need to send Cobra Commander to other places than the US & Canada! You guys in South America & Europe come on and sign up! :D[/QUOTE]

I'd sign in but if you send it to my country tru first class mail CC will get lost 100% sure.

[vader9900]

I have sent stuff to you before.

[Rambo]

[QUOTE=vader9900]I have sent stuff to you before.[/QUOTE]

Just one arrived: the one I paid for Priority mail plus insurance ($27 iirc).

The one with the JD prize never got here :(

Are you serious? That sux, I am sorry brother.
Priority is a little costly for this. Mybe if one of the guys from Brazil or Chile sign up they could send it to you. We will see.

No worries Dave. Graham thinks someone in the Colombian Post Office is ripping me off to sell my stuff at ebay.

[Death_at_Midnight]

This is a good point. When sending to international locations, a private carrier like UPS, FedEx, DHL, or EMS do ensure a safe delivery. I find sending stuff to other countries often get stolen (depends which country) But I figure we spend more $$ on Joes that the cost to ensure the safety of Cobra Commander is a really small price. So don't skip out on the cost. Better to play it safe and ensure the safety of the figure.

[vader9900]

So Death, you want to send CC to Rambo? :D

[Death_at_Midnight]

[QUOTE=vader9900]So Death, you want to send CC to Rambo? :D[/QUOTE]

Hehhe, I got drafted once, not again ;-)

After me, Mr. Cobra Commander is going to inspect Thinktank's hideout.

Okay! I'll start checking the mail box more frequently!

Did you get him yet?

[Death_at_Midnight]

[QUOTE=vader9900]Did you get him yet?[/QUOTE]


Cobra Commander has arrive in Texas for vacation. Let's see if Texas can survive this world famous figure who has thus far managed to evade the media.

--Death

[vader9900]

When are we gonna see a shot of him?

[Death_at_Midnight]

[QUOTE=vader9900]When are we gonna see a shot of him?[/QUOTE]

Hehhe,

I switched to plan B. Plan A was to take a visit down the road to President Bush's ranch, but too many security cameras and there was still a patrol car near. I figured someone stopping the car with a camera might look too suspicious, and with an excuse to take a pic of a toy....

So on to plan b.

But, having the figure in hand I can duplicate him and move the original off to the next participant (ThinkTank) within a few days.

[vader9900]

CC on Bush's ranch would have rocked

[Rambo]

CC with Bush would have rocked...

[Otto the Otter]

[QUOTE=Rambo]CC with Bush would have rocked...[/QUOTE]
My conspiracy theory buddy would have been all over that one.

[seamusharper]

CC and W........ I KNEW IT.....

[Death_at_Midnight]

Okay, I'm going to send him on to the next person now. It's been really difficult to do something that takes me to the other side of the city (mom's ill, been with her after work the last 3 weeks). I will make a duplicate before sending him out, that way I can take pics when the opportunity comes.

[vader9900]

I am adding links to the photos on the front page of this thread under itinerary post so we can find them easy.

Its still not too late to get in on this if you want.

[ThinkTank]

I'm still waiting to get vacation CC for his journey through the strange land of humid desert with rain that Lubbock has become. I hope I can get a nice shot of a dust storm while he is here.

[Rachel]

I am 100 percent positive that CC on vacation, needs to come to Memphis

[vader9900]

[QUOTE=Rachel]I am 100 percent positive that CC on vacation, needs to come to Memphis[/QUOTE]
Rachel, I will add you guys to the list.

[Rachel]

Memphis, tn 38122

[vader9900]

Death, do you still have him, or has he been passed along?

[ThinkTank]

I got him on friday and after a weekend out of town trip, he is ready to see the sights. Expect pics soon!

[vader9900]

Cool! :D

[Scuba Steve]

Hey Dave if its not to late to join in the fun count me in!

[vader9900]

It's never to late, where are you located?

[Agent Viper]

[QUOTE=Rachel]Our address has changed,

I'm pretty sure I know where Cory is going to take CC

[ThinkTank]

Hey GiTom, pm me your address so CC can catch a flight in the next few days.

[tycondrius23]

I wanna join in on this or is it too late ?

[vader9900]

Never to late. What is your location to put on the itinerary

[tycondrius23]

I'm in Ireland vader but if thats to much trouble for folks to send its ok.(i do how ever have the same parts used for that CC(most of them) I could try making my own one and using him as a proxy).

[QUOTE=vader9900]Never to late. What is your location to put on the itinerary[/QUOTE]

[vader9900]

Your in brother, if I have to I will ship him to you myself. Would love to see more International guys get on board.

[ThinkTank]

the next leg of the journey has begun

[tycondrius23]

cool stuff Vader just let me know who I need to pm and addy to and to get the addy of for his next journey when it comes to my turn

[vader9900]

[QUOTE=ThinkTank]the next leg of the journey has begun[/QUOTE]
Thanks TT!

[Black Knight]

I'd love to take a turn... Knoxville, TN is beautiful and we have plenty of places to take pics.

[Rachel]

[QUOTE=Black Knight]Knoxville, TN [/QUOTE]


No Rocky Top is gross. ;)

Go Cats!

[giTom]

Cobra Commander currently visiting the sprawling metropolis of McDonough, GA. Will post pics over the coming week.

Who's next on the list?

You got it already? They told me it would be Tuesday before it got there. Thats a bad a$$ postal service.

[vader9900]

Black Knight, I need your address, Cobra Commander is heading to Knoxville (He hates the Vols, so no shots of Neyland Stadium :p ) PM me

[Hammerfel]

I'm in!

San Diego, CA.

I'll get him on the Aircraft Carrier and maybe outside the Marine Corps base. :)

[vader9900]

Cool, you've been added

[vader9900]

Did you receive him yet Black Knight?

[Da Talent]

Dave & Blk Knight. I shipped out the commander this morning. I had a couple more pics to take of him last night. Sorry for the delay.

[vader9900]

No problem, just trying to catch up where he was at

[vader9900]

Who has the Commander?

[rnrhero]

didnt someone post a pic of him in japan in the past couple days?

[tycondrius23]

that was Death at Midnight i bellive posted those .

[Otto the Otter]

I can't say for sure, but I think Death's CC was his own custom. CC didn't have his shoulder bag in those pictures. I know I'm supposed to be getting him next and I'm running short on time to get him.

[Black Knight]

The Commander arrived to me about 2 days ago, but I haven't had a chance to snap any pics yet. Is he going to Otto next? I'll get moving on the photos and shipping, just message me the address.

[Death_at_Midnight]

The version of Vacation CC (VCC) is my own custom. Early on I stated I had wanted to build my own custom for a world traveling CC so as to not interfer with Vader's VCC. I was then fortunate enough to receive the original VCC early on so was able to observe first hand Vader's VCC, take notes, and thus make my own.

Please don't mind the typos.. I'm still not used to typing with my Droid phone.
