A little back story to this entry - he wasn't my original entry to the Contest. I was supposed to enter "Spectre" http://www.hisstank.com/forum/g-i-jo...ml#post1134256 (good thing I didn't, as the callsign would have clashed with another entry).
However, in my excitement over this custom, and the entire E.C.H.O. Group as a whole, I stupidly posted the whole lot, including Spectre, on Hisstank and Joedios, before I read the rules. As I was about to submit my entry on the day of the deadline, I re-read the rules, and bam! I had disqualified my entry. So I decided to rush another custom I was making to add to the E.C.H.O. Group, another sniper with a button down shirt this time. I mixed up some parts, did a little more painting, and as I was wracking my brains for a callsign, I noticed my son playing SOCOM: Navy Seals Bravo Team II (name?) on his PSP, and it hit me - Wraith - the non-playable character assisting the playable character (of course, it obviously didn't register in my mind that there was already another Joe character with the same callsign). I wasn't completely satisfied with the character, and have been making adjustments up until last night (though I only ended making two actual changes to the original contest entry custom in the end). I will post updated pics later. In the meantime, as a thank you to those who voted, I present Wraith: E.C.H.O. Group Sniper.

I really dig your E.C.H.O. Team and this guy is cool! The mods you made to the guns make them even better.
How about a vehicle for them or maybe some other new recruits... The Mission: Code Breaker

The other sniper rifle is just a regular ROC Joe rifle (comes with some Dukes, Scarlett, etc.), a again with the plastic tube handle of a cotton bud. About the callsign, I guess it was just fate that I was stupid enough to post my original entry beforehand. And, again, I still can't get over the fact that you were able to pack all that gear...!!! Quote:
As promised earlier, here are some pictures of the updated Wraith. As I mentioned, I only made 2 actual changes, 1. Facial Hair (I wanted that mercenary quality to the figure) and 2. World Peacekeepers Backpack (I used straps from a Joe harness and cut off the original garter straps, though now it is a bitch to put on the figure). Allegiance: G.I. Joe Callsign: Wraith Specialty/Function: E.C.H.O. Group Operative (Assault Team) Real Name: ZAISAN, Jieon R. Serial Number: E8-149-8623-7 Primary Military Specialty: Weapons Specialist - Covert Sniper Secondary Military Specialty: Hand-to-Hand Combat Birthplace: Lhasa, TIBET Bio: Jieon was born in Lhasa, but grew up in Hong Kong when his Tibetan father and Korean mother immigrated to Hong Kong. As a teenager, he was closely affiliated with 14K, one of Hong Kong's most notirious triad societies. Jieon was arrested during the 1999 crackdown on the gang, during which Wan Kuok Koi, the gang's leader, was also arrested in Macau. In exchange for information, and partially due to his infamy as a martial artist, Jieon was given the option to join Her Majesty's Armed Services in Hong Kong, and he signed up with the Ghurkas. He was in the military for only 5 years, training in various locations, during which he wasn't favored by his superiors to say the least, due to his triad history. His career abruptly ended when he murdered his squad leader during a brawl. Jieon fled to his native Tibet, where he joined various insurgent groups fighting against Chinese Communist rule with the help of the C.I.A. His handler also used him in various covert operations in Southeast Asia and Latin America, as his mixed features and fluency in various Asian languages and flawless English allowed him to take on almost any Asian and Latin nationality he chose. Before his handler was killed in an operation, he introduced Jieon to General Hawk, describing him saying that "though he is an expert marksman, he is even deadlier when he has nothing in his hands". General Hawk recruited Jieon into the E.C.H.O. Group shortly afterwards. "Jieon is a weapon in himself. He was captured by the PLA's Special Operations Forces. He escaped the interrogation session at a safehouse, leaving all 7 PLA Special Ops soldiers in the room dead, with his hands still cuffed behind his back. Aside from the slit throats on the dead bodies, no other evidence regarding the murders and escape was found except for pieces of plastic folders stained in blood." Background on E.C.H.O. Group A group comprised of individuals with backgrounds, past affiliations, or trained with, terrorist groups and rebel guerrilla forces, either as operatives and agents of the groups themselves, or as undercover operatives working for the other side. A group so covert, that only few of the Joes themselves know if its existence. RECIPE - BODY Head: ROC Grand Slam Upper & Lower Torso: ROC Duke (Desert Ambush) Upper Arms: ROC Ripcord (Jungle Assault) Forearms & Hands: ROC Duke (Desert Ambush) Thighs: 25h Beach Head (Comic 2 Pack) Calves & Feet: Resolute Duke (5 Pack) RECIPE - GEAR Primary Weapon: MP5 with Red-Dot Sight & Silencer (Marauders Inc.) Secondary Weapon: Modified ROC Bull Pup Rifle with Night Scope & Silencer Tertiary Weapon: Modified Short Barrel Barrett .50 cal M82A1 Sniper Rifle with Modified Silencer (Marauders Inc.) Sidearm: ROC Sig Sauer P228 Backpack: Modified World Peacekeepers Backpack Hat: ROC Ripcord Hat (Jungle Assault)
