DKE always has a ton of hand crafted figures as part of their booth set up for any convention and there's inevitably one that I fall in love with. For this year's DesignerCon that distinction belongs to Bombermat Toys and his Trve Cvlt Snowtrooper. Star Wars and black metal go together like peas and carrots and while the connection may not be obvious to some, let me open my big book of nerd knowledge and clue you as to why this is genius. The ice planet Hoth scenes from The Empire Strikes Back were filmed in Norway, which is also the birth place of corpse paint and scary music. See, they fit together perfectly. And if the figure alone wasn't cool enough, that might be some of the best backer card art I've ever seen courtesy of Juan Machado.
Only 11 of these exist in the world, so you better make a bee line to booth #2922 if you want one.
