Trailblazer - Joe Custom with Vehicles

Galaxy Ranger · 11-29-2008, 07:32 PM

Still using up what I have around I created this character: Trailblazer. I see him as an Ex-Dreadnok turned Joe. He did a few years in the Marines but was discharged for taking military vehicles for joyrides in enemy territory. After discharge he traveled the world competeing in many extreme sports. Some of these were Moto-Cross, Extreme Marathons, Survival Drops and Dune Buggy Racing. During a stay in Australia he entered one of the Dreadnok recruit drives and burried the competetion. He quickly developed strong feelings for Zanya and disgust for all things Dreadnok. He tried to get her to leave and go with him, but she refused. He joined the Joes to try and make up for his past and with the intent of saving Zanya from herself. He is one of the Joes primary insertion members in unmapped territories. He drives his Buggy till he can't go any further, then pull off his bike and gain some more ground. After that he'll make his way on foot till he gets to the target.

Very cool, man! I love the background you gave him, too.

Nice job, all around!

Nice job! Love the background, too. Really sets the character up well and explains the accessories. I could actually see this sitting next to the HISS and Armadillo/Air Chariot.

Which figure was the basis for the character? Beachhead, maybe?

Nice figure!

The 2 vehicles are great also!

I really like this. It's a complete custom.
The backstory and vehicles really bring it together.
Where did you get the helmet?

Helmet is from one of the Star Wars X-Wing Skywalker figures.

I think my friends here have done a really good job with the props they've given. I simply echo exactly what they said. I LOVE fan characters, and this one really feels like a well-thought, fleshed out character while at the same time it has a nice "official" feel to it too that I see a few custom characters lacking.

GREAT work!
