PURPLE PEOPLE EATER
Cobra Cannibal Trooper

Little is known about Cobra's latest and greatest bio weapon. It is assumed that he was once a normal Cobra Trooper who was exposed to the Venom serum combined with the DNA of a predatory animal such as a lion or tiger. Other theories say that he is an escaped mental patient, alien lifeform, undead warrior, or escaped US Government experiment. What is known is that the Purple People Eater has the unusual habit of eating everything he kills. Purple People Eater carries a flamethrower which he uses to "barbecue" his victims. The backpack mounted fuel tank even holds a variety of sauces and rubs in special battle ready containers. He then proceeds to devour their carcass right on the battlefield: much to the horror of enemy and commanding officer alike!

"GI Joe has great taste, and they taste great! BUUUUURP"

Here is my entry to the Con spare parts challenge. I didn't include a before pic because only the torso has any real paint work done to it. After I got it all painted up it reminded me of one of the old Remco figures, which is great because I love the old Remco figures.
