Bollar Ibori was born in the Congo of Africa. It was not only a place he called home, but it was a place he swore to protect from poachers and militia alike that wanted to steal the natural resources of the forest. Though war was all around, he found solace in the beauty of his surroundings. As he grew, he felt it was only natural to become a ranger to protect not only the wildlife of the forest but the civilians from the destruction of war. Danger loomed with armed militia around every turn, but he became proficient in hand-to-hand combat, firearms and guerrilla warfare to protect all he swore to serve. He soon became his warden's top ranger. Once Plague decreed he wanted to suppress world resources to conquer and control (web comic #1), "Bo" knew he needed to take the fight to Plague and was soon contacted by Badger to join The Corps! Never wanting to forget his roots, he took on the code name "Congo."    Head- Modified Deisel head Torso- Spade Arms- Rucker Legs- Bolder Accessories- Chap Mei

Thanks, AWCramer! He was fun to put together. So glad the head came out the way it did. I'm trying to mod another one, but give it a different feel. I have several customs I've just not yet finished. Hopefully I can finish them up soon.

Wow! This is awesome!!!! I love the colours and the piece selection Agreed! All the more impressive since you picked the head with the most luxuriant hair to use as a base.

You already have artistic ability and a steady hand. You'd probably do really well with one. Wow! This is awesome!!!! I love the colours and the piece selection Agreed! All the more impressive since you picked the head with the most luxuriant hair to use as a base.  Thanks, Magicwazard! I was thinking about redoing the hair on one to look more like his card art. This head was much easier than I thought it'd be. It was especially easier than the Ogre head I tried my hand at.

LOL...looks like my custom characters Congo and Mamba will be tasked with taking on Titan in the African region. Love that Lanard added more African diversity into the universe.

Yes! I'm especially stoked to see a South African make it into the line!  This is still one of my absolute favorite Corps custom figures! This deserves to be official! You should consider making casts of this head!

Would love to eventually cast that head or find someone who could do it.
