For this custom, I wanted to highlight all the essence of the character through his different versions, taking his best elements and using them in this version. The figure arises as a starting point of the SE V4(my favorite), which combines a commando appearance with ninja elements.
So I chose as chest armor protection (Mercer wrigth), and upper arms protection (joytoy) and ankles armor. At the same time elements were incorporated to the custom, their commando-type weaponry, which is all stealthy, since both Uzis and the pistol have silencers using them on both legs and belt holsters (Marauder and Joytoy). His modern classic sword and his ankle knife complement the character's classic weaponry.
An interesting element in the figure is that he have two versions of heads. one with a modern hood (fornite) and the other with the hood retracted, revealing his head, with uncluttered hair and showing an appearance of the figure's V4 mask and the scar on SE's left eye. Some interesting details were the incorporation of the Arikashiage klans and the Wolf team logos on the upper arm armor. as well as his klans tattoo on his right forearm.


Judge's Comments:
Robert - This one surprised me how much I was ready for a variant like this. A very fun stealthy hood and body armor, but with the hood off/down, a fun surprise to see his hair and personality come through. You almost forget about the man under the mask, and this was a nice reveal to show his humanity while still keeping that anonymity. The rolled up sleeve is a great nod to the clan history as well. I think it's easy to see how much bulk and weaponry you can fit on a figure, but here you have a great balance to complement the look and proportions of the figure both in body armor and weapon choice/location.
