My contest entry for Tank Drivers most recent Hasbro Sketchbook/Obscure Character contest, Ghost Bear. I had this one planned for quite some time and actually gave up on him. Well, not gave up, because I never started. I guess I just lost interest in him, or didn't want to waste a Resolute Trooper on him at the time. When the contest came around I figured this was the best chance to actually resurrect him and get the head out of my fodder box.
The only version of this character we were ever given really didn't do it for me, and it's no more impactful when you finally see him in the comics so I went with a more modern and realistic uniform for him. Parts Used: Head: Trigate Ultimate Hawkeye Torso: RoC FireFly Arms: RoC FireFly Upper Legs: RoC FireFly Lower Legs: RoC Shockblast Feet: Res Duke Paints Used: an assortment of Model Masters acrylics from Dark Grey to Earth Red to customs mixed blue and orange. Enjoy.

that really is a great custom. slightly altered design elements but still captures the look of the original.

Thanks everyone. Yeah, that's really what I was trying to do. I find a lot can be done with these minimally used characters. Or for me, characters that I never had or knew much about that are real fun to explore and build upon. This one was in my head for a while after seeing one or two customs here based on the previous release and just took me a while to get together parts that made him what I would have wanted to see as opposed to what Hasbro gave us.
