Argentum, "The Silver Fist"
Character Background:
Argentum has ravaged the world as long as his brother, Aurum. Known as the Silver Fist, Argentum carries out every last desire of his brother. The Skull Spider he wears is simply a carcass, and he retains free control of his body. His mastership of the sword - which he has been practicing since before Ekimu was defeated - makes him a very dangerous foe. His stud launcher and shield only add to his danger.
His latest mission was to locate the body of Makuta.
The Physical Side of Things - A Sort of Model Review:
Argentum is a small step away from his brother. The color scheme was very similar in a contrasting way - one gold, him silver (and their names actually reflect that: aurum is latin for gold, argentum latin for silver). I gave Argentum a gear box (custom built, since at the time I had no others), and mounted a stud launcher to fit with the theme. Originally he had another sword, but with the summer wave of 2015 came this one, which I think works better.
His armor covers him fairly well. The gearbox mostly covers the back, and his arm armor is on in a way that leaves little uncovered. Of couse, he has uncovered lower arms and legs, since my goal was to keep him short, but they look full - not like they are unarmored to the point of being out of place. The only unarmored area that stcks out is the back of his legs, which is unfortunate but all too common with CCBS.
Pose-ability is also pretty good - and much better than Aurum. He has a gearbox that gives control of his left arm (he is left-handed), allowing good sword chop motions. He has 3 articulation points per limb, and the all have a fairly good range of motion.
