Season 8
I have wanted to recreate the dollar store post apocalyptic line S.T.O.P VS. S.C.U.M. from the year 2010 for some time. This year being the 10th anniversary seemed like the perfect time to revisit these figures, you can see more about them here:
https://www.scary-crayon.com/toys/stopvsscum/
The figures were fun, but as expected... super cheap, now after having them in storage for all these years in ziplocs, the figures are feeling waxy, fragile, & even more toxic then when they were new lol! With only 6 figures in the official line, I laid out a plan to recreate them in MTF with a new alternate universe story line featuring an expanded team having these guys in some of the leading roles. I wanted to create the characters so they would look like the figures but also a bit plused up. Cyclops was the 2nd figure I recreated, he looks a lot like the bad guy in Water World lol, I love how he turned out using parts of the MTF Exo-Suit to recreate the upper body armor look, headbands for the leg scarfs & patch, & the gray cloth arms for the wraps. Although these figures are not well known, they have proven to be some of my favorite recreations yet!
In the year 20XX Armageddon occurred due to warring super powers that caused mass destruction and nearly annihilated the planet. Causing the collapse of civilization, the world fell into the hands of evil warlords known collectively as WRATH! In this chaotic world, WRATH prospered; infiltrating cities and leaving death, destruction, and despair in their wake. WRATH'S mission is total anarchy on a global scale. City by city they slice through urban lands, stealing & profiting from the chaos & terror that they bring. In time people revolted, forming their own talented security force of ex-military, police, hand to hand combat specialists, & upstarts, code named "MTF," or the MARAUDER TASK FORCE. The MTF is assigned with freeing the world of the evil WRATH forces that have taken the it by storm. Each member of the MTF has a unique military skill & was selected to maximize damage to the enemy.
CYCLOPS is large and imposing, this ex-military soldier became a Brazilian slum lord. When Brazil was ravaged by the "Apocalypse War," CYCLOPS was severely injured & seeked out help from the military he once served... he recovered but part of the agreement to save his life was to augment him with the lab's new exo-suit technology, turning him into a super-soldier! The armor increases his already great strength and it's ownership & rarity showcases his leadership position in a broken world. The lab was later destroyed along with most of the cyborg experiments. Some say CYCLOPS was responsible. Cold and calculating he has become one of the "LORDS of WRATH." Can the MTF & RECO survive the fight for freedom? Can they possibly rid the world of WRATH? Only time will tell...
Always loved the story on these as it reminded me so much of the Centurions that I loved as a kid. Both were set in post-apocalyptic world. Centurions was after WWIII had taken place. Cyclops always seemed like a Doc Terror type bad guy.
Great job! Any plans to make Patriot? Always loved the fact that he supposedly trained with both the green berets and the navy seals...I mean could he be more bad ass.
I think the other bad guy was Skull Hawk maybe. I just remember him looking pretty cool.
