100% Original Concept by Me, and New Take on a fan favorite, I wanted to expand our Joe universe a bit.
Honoring accurate portrayals and the era Firefly grew up in, this is Post French IndoChina years. Weapons, clothing, Hat, all are historically accurate for 1954+. For this Original concept, I also went daring and unmasked Firefly. In doing so, I wanted him looking sinister, fearless, and focused. This project was completely hand painted, imagined and concept created all from scratch. This is what I feel Jason Lee would look like unmasked and as an Origin Story. I have also attached historical accuracy for that specific timeline , pre and post War. Here is French IndoChina War Firefly .

This is very cool, and he looks great. Love the concept, it’s very imaginative. Paint as usual with your work is done incredibly

I can honestly say I would be intrigued if Hasbro hired you as a designer for the Classified line.

Loving this new design! The build is just super cool, really fun to see Firefly out of the fatigues & military garb, then with a battle hardened look with no balaclava that sets him over the top. The cloth wraps around the gun & his hand are always a feature I really enjoy in your customs. And the pic where we finally see him with the mask is badass!

The year maybe early but this is hands down one of the best so far of 2022. Great concept, great execution, & great imagination! Parts used, added cloth, paint, alternate head. Just DYNAMITE! @_@

It's just amazing how much detail you can put into a 4" figure. And is that a cigarette in his mouth? Sweet Jeebus, your Firefly is just next level awesome.
