This line was actually one of the first redesign idea I had almost 15 years ago, in the 99, when I first started to redesign characters. The line is intended to have a 90's sci-fi aesthetic. It has some elements of Cyberpunk, the Matrix, Akira, Ghost in the Shell, etc. I envisioned the movie as a struggle by a group of rebel hackers struggling to break free from the oppressive system of control by a mega technological corporation that controlled all aspects of society. I tried to stay true to my original ideas for characters as I made the line.
For Vector I wanted a hulking mass of machinery that got back to the childhood question of what is under that mask and suit, he is man or machine. I eventually added the tentacles to get the look of the cape, as the figure did not look right without it.
I am currently selling the set. contact me if you are interested
