Rarities - Funskool Calcium Sandoz Croc Master

In my profile of the Funskool Croc Master figure, I mentioned a Calcium Sandoz repaint of him done in dark colors.  Well, here it is.  The figure is actually a very dark green with black pants and golden eyes.  The overall ensemble is an amazing look for Croc Master and would have been one of the more sought after repaints had it been a standard carded Funskool release.

Sadly, this figure only exists in the Calcium Sandoz construction.  So, he has those odd, blocky, straight arms.  They ruin what would otherwise be an amazing figure.  The color palette, though, almost makes up for it.  I love the golden eyes as they brighten the figure's face and help offset the dark undertones.  In general, this look is in line with Croc Master's character.  But, it also brings something more sinister to the table.

It appears this Croc Master doesn't include the whip.  But, he does have the crocodile.  Were these figures attainable, it would be worth it to swap the arms for some bare arms from another figure to make a really solid Croc Master repaint.  But, at several hundred dollars these days, that's not really a viable outlet for a different take on Cobra's Reptile Trainer.
