Sigmahere are some lbc-ish guys I did that for the longest time I even forgot to take pics of...

first up is Clutch, a desert LR I painted on the hair on his arms and beard, I may strip the hair down and sculpt it and paint it later, he's sporting the pumpsuit off a knock off dollar store Bratz doll

Mirage is as basic as you can get, and I plan to repaint a Sigma Strike Power Armor up as his MegaMarine/Space Command armor

now for my needs a code name, see in my verse the Sigma Cartoon events happened. the Character Firefly in S6 is called Inferno in my verse and in turn becomes the same Inferno that works for Iron Claw against the "Extreme" GI Joes

So I really like the idea of another firefighter on the team, liked his hawaiian heritage and cool headed counterbalance toe RedDog's rage, add some surf instructor, native firedancing and diver points all I need is a name, figure wise the change I did was restored him to the early test shot's prototypes, coloring where the waist up on the torso is black and looks like more of a coat than a vest, and taken the sock from Shockwave's cap and put it under the helmet, I may darken his skin tone

I've thought of these so far

Hibachi
Hotspot
Cinder

Ditto, I think Cinder fits the character. That Footloose is too cool. Can't wait to see Mirage armored-up!

Backdraft

5 Alarm

Haligan

Flashover

It depends on how you want to look at him if he was a straight firefighter Cinders are what they try to avoid. If he is more the other stuff ie dancer, surf instructor than yes.
These would fit more in the Cinder vein
Firewalker

Smokescreen

Footloose looks great!

Your firefighter guy...I really like Backdraft. Or how about Sparks or Blaze?

I think Clutch is simple but effective. I have a feeling his jumpsuit, which works great at separating him from Desert Long Range, is more beige in real life than in the picture. I like the arm hair as a detail but I think you called it: molded arm hair would be better.

Footloose is amazing. Everything about him screams Footloose and he stands out next to other Sigma 6 figures. If I had to make a suggestion, I'd say that Footloose, at least Sunbow Footloose, was too laid back for a scowl like that.

Mirage just doesn't work for me. I know your custom Duke looks more like ARAH Duke than Sigma 6 Duke, but that Mirage looks too much like the released Dukes to pass for another character. I think there is definitely room in Sigma 6 for Mirage, I just think he needs to stand out more than this.

it is a light tan and the flash made it all but see through and whitewashed here.

Footloose is gonna be more of a challenge, the sigmas are a pretty solemn group when they aren't just goofy or ninjas

the big part of Mirage will be the Mega Marine Armor, I also just remembered his bandana

I like Clutch. I think he works. But compared to some of the others here he isn't as good.

Footloose is perfect. That is one spiffy looking custom. Instantly recognizeable.

Mirage looks like WIP. He needs the armor.

As for the firefighter, I like Cinder for no other reason then it just sounds cool.

I like Flash Point, but I didn't finish looking over the list.
