Modern Warfare: 22nd SAS Regiment (Prototype for Loading Toys)


This is the first time I am involved in product prototyping. The sponsoring company is [B]Loading Toys[/B]. The character of this prototype is an 22nd SAS Regiment member which is inspired by the Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare video game released in 2007.

The SAS team, lead by Captain John Price, appeared in a number of episodes in the game. The idea of this prototype was based on 3 of the missions: "F.N.G.", "Crew Expendable" and "Mile High Club".


Using the same prototype base figure, I developed 4 characters: Captain Price, Gaz, Sergeant Carver and Private Griffen


Photoshop CG

"F.N.G." - This is Mission 1 of the game. Soap (the player) was going to see Captain Price for the 1st time and Price said, "What the hell kind of name is Soap? How'd a muppet like you pass selection, eh?"


"Crew Expendable" - This is Mission 2 of the game. Price was his team was riding on a helicopter at night to approach a cargo freighter in Bering Strait.


There was a lightning storm when the team boarded the freighter.


"Mile High Club" - This is the epilogue mission of the game. A team of SAS members were in an unnamed Special Air Service operative battling through a double-decked aircraft to rescue a hostage.


Hostage has been rescued. The team has escaped from the plane.



[B]The Prototype Figure[/B]

Only one figure body was created. I further customized a few variants with different heads and weapon to make the team.

Captain Price's head is a re-painted Loading Toys Primo head.


Gaz's wearing gas mask with customized convex lenses.


Sergeant Carver's goggles are sticked with a thin layer of silvery material at the back of the lenses.


Private Griffen is just like Gaz without the helmet.


Closer look at the prototype



[U]Price's Head[/U]
The Loading Toys Primo head is a pretty good choice for Price. The quality of the original head is decent. The skin finishing is a little glossy to give some sweaty look. I enhanced the head by repainting the eyes, adding heavier shading to the wrinkles and dry brushing some brown highlights to the beard.
