Billy

Billy has always been one of my favorite characters. Since I was trying to recreate the six-man LRRP team that Snake Eyes, Stalker, Storm Shadow, and Wade Collins were part of, I needed to find two other members. I had decided on Recoil and Sidetrack, but something just was not right. I went back and forth until I noticed the Parachute Dusty figure. To me, he made a great Sean "Throwdown" Collins from the IDW series. Since he was Snake Eyes' apprentice, I wanted to include Storm Shadow's.

If you have ever made a Billy figure, then I am sure that you struggled finding a good headsculpt that did not look like another character (think Anakin Skywalker). After hours of searching, I picked up the comic pack Double-Clutch head. After removing the beard, I tossed the head in boiling water. When it softened, I squeezed the head from the top and bottom to squish the proportions a little. With some putty for an eye-patch and some thread cover in Mod Podge, Billy came to life.

The body is simply a Big Brawler with ARMY removed and a hexagram on the forearm, but I think that he looks great with his new team!

The artwork for the filecard was created from the Battleground game. One of Billy's heads was added to another Billy artwork, and the entire color palette was changed.
