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.

A quick bash of the terrorist for photoshop CG:
Once again, the SAS 22nd Regiment Team
The SAS 22nd Regiment figure will be released soon this year.
Thanks for watching! I hope you like this new product.
