Greetings to all I hope this day begins and ends with you healthy and happy.

Before I get into my subject I was not entirely sure where to ask what I am about to ask; I do not mean to insult anybody or start trouble of any kind.

I have been designing an RPG game for the better part of 4 years now. I'm getting to a point where I can get things tested out and sooner or later I will want a Mascot/Figurehead for demonstrations. I have been all through Reaper's considerable number of figures and cannot find the one figure that suits what I'm really envisioning. There are elements of 3 different figures that come close but miss the mark.

Jana Blackfire #65026: I really like the armor she is wearing and most of her pose but her hair bugs the "fluffy kittins" out of me and her shield and sword do not look like what I'm envisioning.

Ingrid #03384 : I like this character's head and hair, the helm is what I'm looking for; hair length is perfect. The major drawbacks to her are her pose and the fact that her armor just does not cover enough of her. Her shield is the right idea but I'm thinking more on the lines of the Greek hoplon or the rectangular Roman scutum (the shield should protect her from shoulder to just above her knee). I prefer her sword to Jana Blackfire's.

Taroya (forgot to get product #): this was close; the armor was just right but I want the figures face to be seen so her helm killed it. Her cloak is set in a manner that working a shield into the mix is not something I can figure out. Her sword was also not what I envision. Her pose was the best of the three though "Come n' get it"

I am not a sculpter of any kind and most of the conversions I have ever done revolve around weapon changes. Am I way off base asking for a possible new sculpt? Love to discuss this.

Just for the record my user name has nothing to do with Game of Thrones; it is the name my fellow students in a martial arts class have given to me so I took it to heart.

I thank you for your time;

Jeff
