#DormooViis Contest Special Project
This custom action figure was created as my entry for the #DormooViis "Pop-and-Swap" custom toy contestπ‘½, a community challenge hosted by Sean Shaw (Icknaybob) through "The Cosmic Cabal" Facebook group.
The contest challenged participants to create an original custom figure without any painting, sculpting or otherwise non-factory Four Horsemen Studios toy parts by combining compatible pieces from their Cosmic Legions science-fiction toy line with components drawn from their fantasy-oriented properties Mythic Legions, Figure Obscura, and various special releases.
For my entry, I designed and built an original character created specifically for the event:

"The STAR-PRIEST of CHMRA-IV"
"STAR-PRIEST of CHMRA-IV"
Beyond the figure itself, I developed an accompanying in-universe character biography to help flesh out the concept and place the character within a larger fictional setting.
Below you'll find the character's story, a gallery of toy photography showcasing the finished custom, and a brief 3D scan of the figure captured outdoors.

A high-value Client has engaged our network for a discreet insertion/extraction operation on the quarantined world CHIMRA-IV. Payment is secured.
Available intel originates from drunk spacers trading traumatic tales in rim-station bars, intercepted dead-channel broadcasts, and fragments recovered from derelicts that should never have reached civilized space.
The planet is the archetype of every black-circle legend: a βNew Edenβ that broke. Unstable biology with ever-shifting genetics. No fixed forms. The planet does not merely kill intruders. It changes them. Itβs the kind of place that makes spacers check their biocontainment seals twice.
Central to the Clientβs interest is a single active entity on the surface.
Designation: STAR-PRIEST. [See scan π‘½ via KIRI.ENGINE]
Mutated survivor of unknown age and origin. It carries functional pre-Cordon navigation technology and cartographic data of extreme value. Reports describe it as disturbingly lucid.
Attached is the only hard transmission weβve recovered - a repeating fragment pulled from one of the automated platforms still maintaining the CHMRA-IV Dyson Cordon:

ALERT: This system remains under eternal quarantine.
This is Platform Ξ£-9 of the Containment Grid. We maintain the Cordon. We remember the Directive.
Approach is forbidden. Survival is not guaranteed.
Long ago, an exploration fleet sought paradise and found divergence. The biosphere would not hold its shape. The laws of inheritance fractured. Ancient traits resurfaced. Flesh abandoned certainty, refusing to remain faithful to its form.
The Architects witnessed the abomination and raised this Dyson-scale wall - not to shield the galaxy from its horror, but to preserve and remember that which is unique among all worlds.
We are the final wall. Automated. Eternal. Some among us still remember flesh.
Any vessel attempting unauthorized entry will be destroyed.
Any biological entity reaching the surface must be considered compromised (forever rewritten?).
The cordon must never be breached.

β / Dispatch Addendum / Mission Parameters
I. Infiltrate the CHIMRA-IV surface.
II. Locate the entity designated STAR-PRIEST.
III. Recover and secure any holocores and cartographic data its possession.
IV. Preservation of the entity is preferred.
Lethal force is authorized if containment risks become unacceptable or the subject proves uncooperative.
V. Retrieve biological samples only under extreme biocontainment protocols.
Assume all surface matter possesses active mutagenic properties.
Client priority remains the navigation data. Secondary objectives at your discretion.
Report exclusively through dead-drop channels. Exercise extreme caution.
