Molded to be bad

The most mortiferous and treacherous Blue Spy?

Brigitte Bleu is a Blue Nation spy working for General Plastro in Army Men: Sarge’s Heroes 2 campaign, and the main villain in Portal Runner events. She is typically depicted as having a rivalry with Vikki Grimm throughout history.

She is one of the many Blue Spies of the Army Men history. While this was never stated, more then sure her plan was to have Plastro conquer the Plastic World only for her to betray him and take over alongside Sarge Hawk as her king.

Backstory

Brigitte was, in fact, a member of the Blue resistance in the past. She fought in several of the Tan invasions of her nation.

100-60-100 Femme Fatale

Bleu has a way more curvaceous body than Vikki, to represent her age and overall attractiveness she used like a weapon.

Ms. Bleu is as an attractive doll, being clearly inspired by the Femme Fatale human archetype of classic 40s and 50s TV serials & comics.

She wears a tight tank top over a transparent undershirt, military pants and medium-length boots. However her appearance varies, some showing her pants to be very baggy while others showing as very skin tight.

Her name tends to fluctuate between “Bridgette” and the French “Brigitte” depending on who pronounces it.

The Cunning Empress of the Bleu Army

Unlike most figures forged in plastic for the sake of war, Brigitte Bleu was not molded for the battlefield. She was molded for control.
No soldier’s reflexes, no marksman’s eye… her weapon is intellect, charm, and the art of playing others like pieces on a board.

Within the Blue Army (a force dominated by men and defined by discipline) Brigitte rose from the ranks of its secretive intelligence division, the only woman among agents trained to obey without question. Her early years as a spy taught her silence, patience, and how to slip unnoticed through the cracks of power. It was there she learned that to command, one did not need to shout… only to whisper in the right ear.

By the time of the Portal Wars, she had already achieved what entire armies could not: conquest without open battle. One by one, she seized control of worlds not through force, but through persuasion, manipulation, and alliances woven with silk threads.
She rewarded loyalty with opportunity and punished betrayal without leaving fingerprints.

Brigitte is rarely seen wielding firearms. Her usual ornate Luger remains more a symbol than a weapon. Her only known combat with heavy machinery was in Sarge’s Heroes 2, piloting a Blue Army tank in a failed attempt to escape Sarge Hawk. Even in hand-to-hand combat, such as her brief skirmishes with Vikki Grimm, her strength lies not in power, but in precision and improvisation. She can strike when cornered (even drawing a bow when needed) but she is just as likely to retreat if the odds turn. Fear, in her hands, is not a weakness; it is a tactic.

Where generals built armies, Brigitte built empires of influence. Through negotiation, favors, and the careful distribution of resources, she controlled those who believed they commanded her. She seduced not only individuals but entire factions, reshaping the Blue Army’s reach through diplomacy and deceit.

In her time, she managed what few could: to outwit Plastro, Hawk, and Vikki Grimm alike. Each victory left no crater, no debris… only the quiet realization that, once again, Brigitte Bleu had already won.

To underestimate her is to lose before the battle even begins.

Sarge’s Heroes 2

There’s little known about her origins, but it seemed that she is seen to share Plastro’s dream of world dominance as she assist him throughout their history. She presents Plastro the Anti-Plastification serum that revives plasticized soldiers and gives life to toys in the Real World to help Plastro raises a new army.

This serum was invented by Dr. Madd, although it is not really known if this was stolen or supplied by him, for some reason. Anyway, although Madd’s Castle is attacked and invaded during the campaign, there are no records of encounters with the missing evil Doctor. Plastro’s lack of knowledge regarding this serum makes it clear that it was not a work commissioned by the Tan Army, therefore the recipient of this serum is also unknown, unless it is the simple purpose of making it and selling it to the highest bidder, which ended being the Tan Army.

During the course of the campaign, she reveals the location of Field Marshall Tannenburg to the Green Army so they could capture him.

At the same time she finds Plastro, frees him from plastrification and helps him become the leader of the Tan Army once again, attacking the Tan Army’s surrender ceremony at Tannenburg. The attack is a success and they even manage to kidnap Vikki.

However, due to her lack of loyalty to him, he ordered his army to invade the Blue Nation and Brigitte was forced to ask Sgt. Hawk for help.

After fending off the Tan Army, she revealed the location of Plastro’s headquarters in the toy store.

However, she eventually betrayed Hawk by giving up Bravo Company Commandos to Plastro to regain his trust in him.

After Sarge Hawk and Vikki destroyed Plastro’s missiles, she was used by Plastro as a bait to capture Hawk by forcing him into rescuing her from an explosive she was tied to.

Hawk managed to save her only for her to use the plastrificacion serum on Sgt. Hawk, paralyzing him.

At the Pinball, she could n’t handle Sarge Hawk being tortured by Plastro and ordered Little Man and some of her loyal soldiers to tilt the pinball machine so the Green Army could locate and use the Anti-Plastification serum on Sgt. Hawk, releasing him.

He eventually freed Bravo Company Commandos and cornered both Plastro and Bleu, she attempted to persuade Sarge into sparing her only to be hit in the face by Vikki, causing both to fight. She managed to escape in the chaos of the two toy robots’ fighting.

Back at her hideout, she promises that she will make Sarge Hawk hers…

The spy’s lost records

Following Colonel Malice’s attack during the 2004 peace treaty signing, Brigitte Bleu took advantage of the confusion and escaped, burning most of the Green Army’s records on her. Everything except the multiple copies of the CDs containing the stories from Sarge’s Heroes 2 and Portal Runner, which were impossible to trace and completely destroy.

This is a reconstruction of pieces of this lost story, which were found some time later.

Portal Runner

In the time between Sarge’s Heroes 2 and Portal Runner, she used the serum to create an army for herself and started traveling to various worlds through portals and conquering them.

However, feeling unsatisfied due to her lack of an equal, she tricked Vikki into going missing so she could capture Hawk to make him her king by using a device given to her by the Martian Empire.

However, after the Martians betrayed her, she was forced to join forces with Vikki and Sgt. Hawk to end the Martian menace.

After the Martian brain was destroyed, she was arrested and put in jail with Plastro for much of her dismay.

Sarge’s War Events

Although the heroes met an end in Army Men: Sarge’s War, it is unknown where Brigitte is, as she’s never mentioned. Neither did the Blue Nation have any involvement in those events.

BUT…

New information has shed light on Brigitte’s involvement in the events of Sarge’s War. In fact, she was directly involved in the chain of events that led to that dark episode in the Green Nation’s history. She was the one who directly provided the information necessary for Lord Malice to steal the Army Men molds. It’s even rumored that she only received a blue copy of Sarge Hawk and Vikki Grimm in exchange… a matter still pending with the justice system.

Behind the scenes:

In most of her artworks and renders of her shows her having a handgun. However, she never uses it in any of her appearances.

She was voiced by Nika Futterman, who would be later known for voicing Assajj Ventures in Star Wars The Clone Wars & Star Wars The Bad Batch, among many other roles in anime, cartoons and video games.
