She is nicely done and a great concept!

Thanks, Lenny - I'm happy with her. I was also pleased that I was able to figure out how to mix-and-match with some of the Fortnite figures (currently on major sale at my local Target).

Very cool female Wookiee.  The braids are a nice touch.

Thanks - they were a suggestion from my wife :)

I've been showcasing a few elements from the Jazwares 3.75" Halo line, here's a couple more:




(sorry the picture is blurry - I was in a hurry - but it does show the similarity in height between the marine and Hondo quite nicely)

And Rex and Grey hunt "clankers" old-school:

The Halo stuff has always looked great. And at one time, I had considered collecting them. But now that I'm doing 1:18 military stuff, I'm probably gonna skip. I'd have to sell either my Neca collection or Star Wars stuff to house that...and let's face it. Over my dead body...lol

Keep up the great shots! P.S. how do you like your Hondo? I'm waiting on mine to ship.

Thank you for spotlighting all these other toy lines here that I would not had heard of otherwise. I so need to keep my eyes open for the Pilot figure. This has to become a Bodhi Rook custom. Congrats for scoring the new stuff already! The Halo line makes a fine addition to your collection for sure!

I picked up a few of these last week.  I am going to incorporate the Pilot into a project I’m working on.

I snagged the Sniper figure.  The armor is a little too bright and clean for Star Wars, so I'm going to weather it up.  Can't decide if I'm going to kitbash it with anything else right now.  I was very excited about the price though, $9.84 US.  TVC are $13 which doesn't seem like much, but I'm much less like to grab one for experimenting that way.

Yeah, I'm thinking either Balmorra Defense Force (along with a custom Governor Beltane ) from the Dark Horse comics or perhaps off screen New Republic troopers from the sequels (in my world the Republic wouldn't have been so stupid as to keep its entire military in one system - how dumb is that).

Its taken me so long to respond, you may already have your Hondo figure. I really like him a lot. I appreciate having such an interesting "chaotic neutral" character in realistic style. Since I'm only a Star Wars 3.75" collector, I will add pieces that I can fit into the 'verse otherwise I won't buy them. I was really excited about aliens to add to Star Wars, but the troopers fit in well too.

No problem. I haven't found the pilot or the single pack marine yet, but I'm pretty excited about the Elite and Ghost set that's due out.

I haven't found the Jackal yet, but will happily add it to the alien ranks when I do. I'm actually pretty happy with the Grunt/Marine two-pack. I'm also waiting to find the Brute Chieftan two-pack. But I can be very patient (I'm still waiting for a Rebel Soldier Echo Base VC68 :-\ - at a reasonable price - I think that's been about 9 years).

Awesome new customs!  Ochi is creepy as hell and the wookiee is delightful!
