Vale, Hove, Eve and Sham

The cyborgs. 
 
Theres a joke in that name somewhere.  Answers on a postcard please.

 


Meet Vale.  Vale is a cyborg.  A problem solver,  Originally supposed to be a pleasure clone, Vale's biological pattern was diverted to the Cyborg "Destroyer" program after the destruction of prototypes Dhol and Ytaws.  Vale is fitted with many cybernetic upgrades, weapons and systems designed to ensure her survival and maximum effectiveness in a battlefield scenario.  
 
 
 
This is Sham.  Built to the same specs as Vale, Sham is a privateer.  Unlike Vale who will work for the greater good, Sham only works for profit and always for the highest bidder, no matter who it is.  Her mechanical arm is slightly different, more for long range assault and less close quarters combat like the one belonging to her sister Vale

 
 
From left to right:  Rhay, Vale, Eve and Hove.

Rhay is the spare cyborg, constructed as a spare in case Vale ever malfunctions or is destroyed.

Vale

Eve is Vale's clone sister, and an explosives and mine expert

Hove...Hove is different.  Hove is jacked up on all kinds of steroids to make her biologically more resilient and faster even than a cyborg.  Sadly, it resulted in instability, as well as an incurable addiction to meth and chem.  Hove is currently isolated and powered down.  




Doll wise, these are all Triad Vanity based figures.

 
Vale, the star of many adventures with her online friends, came to me broken in the bottom of a box.  Her hips, arms, knees and neck had shattered and broken and her body was stained.  Everything was not only fixed, she was made better, the staining was removed and the green nose syndrome, for a long time a symptom of dolls using this sculpt, has been cured, thanks to a tip from my good friend Tony Mayes.  And she has a giant mechanical arm.  Vale has since survived a scale 40 foot drop onto concerete, and has been overseas to help her friends in multiple adventures.   Hove's body was sculpted specially for me by Triad Toys designer Erik Barclay
