Ok hear me out... I know you said earlier that all the toy soldiers pretty much look the same. And I get that in that it'd make Ingo and Emmet stand out more.... but what if each Batallion had thier own look/facesculpt? I bet that would've ramped up the alienation Ingo/Emmet would feel when placed with other Battalions
Like obviously all the uniforms would be identical cause they're part of the same army but if each Battalion had thier own headsculpt then I can just imagine how jarring it'd feel to have Ingo or Emmet replace a fallen Battalion member!
Like all you and your brothers Battalion Members share a face, it comforting and familiar like family and now there's this wierd stranger taking over your dear departed brothers Battalion Members place in your group?!
That is a very clever idea! I like how it doubles down on the themes of alienation within Misfits. Thank you for sharing it!
By this point, I think I'm already too committed to the original concept of them all looking the same to include it within the fic proper, unfortunately. But if you or anyone wants to run with the idea of different designs for the other battalions, you have my full support!
