Vanguard

Filename: Unknown was one of my favorite Group Projects. The idea of creating your own interpretation of a character using only their backstory was very appealing to me but at the time when this project was first done, I missed the submission deadline, and ended up scrapping my figures of Vanguard and Enigma. Years later for the 50th Group Project, I have the chance to revisit this Group Project and can now finally finish these custom figures.

I wanted Vanguard to stand out from other GI Joe commanders, so I started with giving him a shaved head. I gave him a green beret to be in touch with his Special Forces roots and the modern GI Joe Eagle and Star logo as a beret flash. The GI Joe logo on his assault vest was cut from a toy magazine and was the final touch for Vanguard's completion.
