The second:
Cham Syndulla (Rebels appearances):




Recipe:
Head = Three pack Twi'lek Jedi
Torso = Mas Amedda
Arms = CW Mandalorian Police Officer (shoulder pauldrons
     from a quick draw ROTS clone trooper)
Belt = Imperial EVO trooper (I'll probably replace this with a
     different belt when I have full access to my fodder)
Legs = Plo Koon (ROTS)

Thanks so much, FF. I'm happy to provide the parts lists/recipes. It always helps me when someone else does it.

Thanks, Tamer. I really like how she turned out as well. I think she's a keeper :)

In case anyone is interested:
I bought two of the url=https://www.entertainmentearth.com/product/HSE0524?id=TA-703231945]C'ai Threnalli figures from Entertainment Earth[/url]. They're excellent for "5POA" (they actually have swivel gloves and boots as well). I thought I would do a side-by-side of one "original" and one C'ai head on a Black Series Poe body just to see if it was close enough to work without much modification. You can see the results for yourselves:

and back-to-back:

There is a tiny height difference - the C'ai figure (left) being just slightly taller. There are, of course, differences in the paint apps - though they are minor. The pants legs are tucked into the boots on the C'ai figure and the collar of the flight suit is slightly different. But for my purposes, no change necessary. I'll happily swap the head for a SA figure to put into action poses. Anyway, just thought folks might be interested.

Wow, talk about super arty for not much work. I think it looks better with the super arty body.

By the way here is the link for those who want to buy C'ai Threnalli:

That's a very clever head-swap. But C'ai Threnalli is not Ello Asty, is he? I'm a big fan of this alien design and your now super-articulated version of him looks great!
Thank you for sharing the recipe!

Thanks Tamer - yeah, it seemed like a simple recipe folks should know about.

No Philipp, C'ai is a second character. Ello Asty dies in Force Awakens, C'ai is one of the survivors at the end of Last Jedi - but basically the same none-the-less. I like the head, and plan on using it in other figures as well.

Great idea.
This is really an easy way to get a super articulated figure.
