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

A couple of new characters:



Nurox - A cyborg created by the Arkanian Renegades during their conflict with the Arkanian Dominion. Like his much more notorious comrade in arms, Gorm the Dissolver, Nurox survived the conflict. Late in the conflict, fearing cruel reprisals from the Dominion, several Renegade scientists put their children in hiding. They took one of their most devastating creations – Nurox – off the battlefield to function as the bodyguard for their families. This was the avenue for his survival. After the Dominion offered amnesty to the children of the Renegades, they were retrieved from hiding, but Nurox was left behind because the scientists knew he would be destroyed. Nurox found the role of bodyguard much more enjoyable than frontline soldier, so he traveled the galaxy selling his services. After several jobs, he found a long-term “home” employed by the Black Sun Underlord as bodyguard to various Vigos and, when necessary, as an Enforcer.

Recipe:
Head = Kre-o Klingon
Arms = Comic 2 pack Yuuzhan Vong
Torso and Legs = Iron Man Weapon Assault Drone

Li'l Klee - The youngest of fourteen children in his Gigoran family, Klee was often called “Little One” or “Little Klee” because of his place in the birth order. So familiar with the sobriquet was he, that Klee adopted the “Little” as part of his name and always introduces himself as “Li’l Klee.” As with many of his species, he was taken captive by slavers and sold into a life of hard labor. Unsatisfied with life as a slave, Li’l Klee managed to escape and, in the process, kill a representative of the Mytaranor Slaver Council, leading to a substantial price being put on his head. Li’l Klee has moved about consistently since, not wanting to be captured as a murderer or an escaped slave. Recently, he has found a quiet place as a “deck hand” aboard Rig Sarkia’s Little Boy.





and with Rig and Abo Pahr


Recipe:
Head = Rogue One Moroff (repainted)
Body = Thi-Sen
Vest and Belt = 6 inch Maz Kanata
Tools = Star Trek fodder

These customs look nice, too! I was at my local Comic Shop, yesterday and bought the first of six parts of Doctor Aphra, there. Seeing your Li'l Klee made me smile not only because of his sad, yet creative background story, but also because two Gigorans appear in this Aphra Comic (Issue #1 English/#98 German) and have a short but intense fight with Wookie Bountyhunter Krrsantan.
The Doctor Aphra comics are very good. I enjoy them mucho and can recommend them to everyone.

Rig and Abo Pahr also look awesome, of which Abo Pahr is my personal favourite of the four.
Thanks for also sharing the recipes!

- Philipp

Thanks Philipp. I appreciate the feedback. Abo is an older custom of mine with a 5 POA GI Joe body. One of these days I will get around to adding some articulation, but I thought the body was just too good to pass up for some kind of bounty hunter or mercenary.

Been cleaning up the garage and found my fodder, unfinished custom projects and now have some space to work, so hopefully there will be some more original characters coming soon...

In the meantime, I've been enjoying some other 3 3/4" lines and fitting them into the Star Wars 'verse (namely Animal Warriors of the Kingdom and Boss Fight Studios Vitruvian H.A.C.K.S. - I'm still waiting for the Chicken Fried Dime Store Novel Western figures to get finished). I might provide a few pictures in the upcoming days.
