Souvenir:
A character
Monte Williams
created in the Sigma 6 scale, he's a Cobra assassin who destroyed a Joe (some poor, tortured nameless character), and as psychological warfare against the fallen Joe's comrades, he wears the suit their teammate died in.
He has a briefcase full of dogtags; the obvious implication is that he's killed well over a dozen Joes.
And the origin of his most disturbing keepsake, a teddy bear he keeps in pristine condition, was left to the imagination.
This photo is of
my
copy of Monte's figure (he made both, sent me this one).
I've loved this character since I discovered him, and even started making a photo comic about his origin (the script is written - approved by Monte - the photos have been taken...I just need to edit them, backgrounds, effects, etc. - I've been really busy the past 5 years since I started it, lol). I put together a few frames (as sort of a "movie trailer"), and here they are:
The Joe - "Hazmat" (I named him) - being fired upon by Cobras.
Souvenir's original look, as he brandishes his first dogtag trophy.
Souvenir driving a knife into Hazmat's palm shortly before taking his dogtags & setting him on fire.
Souvenir putting on his new - still warm - suit. He's a sick emeffer.
I drew some pictures of him all those years ago, too:
I love the character.
Well, I've been browsing the boards more recently, and found Monte had made a 3.75" version that was a 25th Wraith (burnt, of course), and other Tankers loved it, and he showed off my drawings & his original torched Sigma 6 version, and that got me inspired to make my own.
Two things, though: I'm not comfortable controlling fire like Monte (hence, why he made me a copy, instead of me just doing it myself, lol), and I wanted my smaller version to more closely resemble my 8" (who is in storage right now, otherwise, I would've taken side-by-sides).
At first, I was going to give the Amazon Renegades Snake Eyes a black wash, to mimic the burned quality of the suit, but thought it to be more sick if I bloodied the suit instead.
I handheld a drillbit, and gave him three bullet holes (two in the heart, one in the gut). I also carved slashes into his side, chest, and throat as well. I dabbed maroon paint into the "wounds" (in quotes, since the character under the suit didn't suffer them - the previous occupant
did
), and wiped the bulk of the paint away. Then, I dabbed a finger into the paint, and rubbed it over the figure to give it the once bloody, now dried look (Souvenir doesn't like laundry?).
I used a Pursuit of Cobra Alley Viper gas mask for him, painted the insides of the lenses neon green, and gave the outsides a wash to dull them a bit. I also carved "glass cracks" into the right lense, but it's hard to make out. I didn't want to go too deep, and I'm not super bummed it's hard to tell.
I gave him Resolute Duke's knife (for now). I "sliced" into the paint with the knife's blade, and wiped it on a paper towel. The blood effects on Snake Eyes' base was done with a tootpick. It's not supposed to be Snake Eyes' suit that he's wearing, rather Hazmat's, per his origin. I just used the stand, since I had it nearby because of the figure. If I'm not too lazy, I may give him a Cobra stand, lol.
I'm considering giving him some of my Major Bludd dogtags.
And, yes, I'm deciding on a Lego teddy bear to give him...
