BALAM THE HARPYJA- 1/6 CUSTOM FIGURE WITH DIORAMA BASE

 The Vanguard Ultra-Lite Tactical Regiment ( V.U.L.T.R) is exclusively made up of Harpyja class cyborgs. The V.U.L.T.R was used for extraction operations, hostage rescue, covert reconnaissance and close combat direct action during The War.

 The Harpyja are known for their fortitude and terrible strength as well as their ability to move with stealth. They use their feather- antennae and specialized cloaks to reduce reflection/emission of radar, visible light, radio frequency, infrared and visible light. The feather- like structures on their head are also used to sign a secret language between Harpyja , twisting and turning them like a human signing with their hands, moving in a blur. The feathers are also used as a shock and awe device, opening and shaking to intimidate opponents. Harpyja are the most skilled at close combat, using their long reach to quickly close in and end conflicts in a matter of seconds.

 Balam has the usual stoic and quiet tendency of most former V.U.L.T.R agents but his former career had left him with a fear of his terrible capabilities . No longer forced to obey orders to hurt others but with memory banks full of the things he had done, Balam seeks a life of peace. He sequestered himself away from humans and cyborgs so that he would never have to act in violence again. However, while out scavenging for fuel pods one day, a chance meeting with a Robodogman named Wendham changed his life forever.  Wendham was patient and kind, encouraging Balam to see the positive aspects of society and to stop seeing himself as nothing more than a weapon.  They set up an outpost together, a place where Balam could have occasional company rather than continue to hide himself in the Wastes. After a few months of companionship, Wendham had to move on and seek others to help. Balam gave the Robodog a homing beacon that would ping the Harpyja soldier, bringing instant aid if there was any trouble on his journeys. Wendham accepted the beacon but silently vowed to never use it, knowing that it would force his friend to go back to his old ways and do things he no longer wanted to do. Pressing a small dried flower into the towering cyborg's hand Wendham said "Peace to you brother, and always be your best self." and went on his way. These days Balam mans the outpost, helping travelers and people in need when they happen across his home. "

This is a 1/6  scaled posable one of a kind figure. It is 14" tall. The blank body and clothes are store bought but modified. The diamond shaped pendant he is wearing was made by Dee X, thank you Dee!

Balam's flower from Wendham is included with the figure but it is hidden inside his cloak. It is up to Balam's new owner to find it.

The head, hands, forearms and legs are sculpted on my own and cast in urethane. The ankles have a posable joint that can hold the figure's weight! They were a lot of work to get right and I am very thrilled with them

I did NOT sew the jumpsuit but everything else is hand made.  The cast parts are painted and assembled so the figure can still move and pose.  Be mindful of his hands, as they are made to come out.

Base is 9.5" x 6.5"and is included with the figure. It is made from found objects, rocks, putty , fake grass on a wood foundation. It is a one of a kind diorama, my first attempt to make a creative base. It is hand painted and sealed.

Please treat this piece with care! Especially his feathers! He can be played with and posed but don't get too nuts with him. His fingers and toes could break or his paint could get scuffed! I recommend using a stand to display him so that there are no accidents.
