Head: Cast of Night Creeper V1
Body: Big Ben
The Shining Sword is a terrorist organization based in the Middle East but working across national borders against Western elements. Once a major consumer of Cobra and MARS armaments, a disagreement over the acquisition of a weapon of mass destruction intended for use on North American soil turned the organization against Cobra.
The Shining Sword offers rigorous training and a sense of community for sons who have lost fathers to Western-led combat actions. They are well trained, funded, equipped and very motivated.
This project was the result of my collecting Big Ben "anti-builders", the figures that came 2 packed with Cobra Alley vipers. Each figure was traded for or purchased for $2 or less, and the heads were custom cast by Mastermind, and obtained in a trade. Green RIT Dye was used to match the strap color for the head.
While the individual effort wasn't huge to create them, the project was ambitious. I've created a troop of 26 of these rogue element terrorists as part of the project.
