I updated this older design on a more poseable body, and this time with plastic sheeting for the armor instead of paper. Took a few WIP photos as well for before and after reference.

Oh no! Mantis has been abducted and brainwashed, and undergone a full-on alien cyborg transformation.

I think it worked very well, and perfectly fits within your already established style.

Creepy cool. That last shot is disturbingly fun — he took his head to replace his own!

Wait, is that what he did? The heads do seem to have similar features (I was thinking more along the lines of Luke, Vader, and the cave on Dagobah), but the other head is till on the other figure...

Great pics as always, and creative use of one of those black coloured jointed bodies.

I interpreted the final scene as him unmasking himself to the other character to show that he was now[?] the cyborg....?

Mantis Kid turns into Mantis Man?
If the first suit was from a 2000s TV-Series, the new one is from the movie based on it.
Like that budget upgrade from Firefly/Serenity...

Glad you all appreciate the new look. An ongoing theme in my work is identity crisis, with masks/disguises and faces that seem to change. I like to think the ominous alien race in the story gives certain characters the ability to project false identities/faces, perhaps like Arya from Game of Thrones. But yes, that infamous scene from ESB was also admittedly inspiration.

Excellent! Themes of identity fascinate me in fiction, and the examples/inspirations you mentioned are two very fitting ones indeed. : )
