Olees Tilbro – youngest child of a wealthy and prestigious Abednedo politician, and the only child of his second marriage, Olees was looked down on by his five older half-siblings and mostly left to find his own way. Bored, insecure, and discouraged, Olees got himself in trouble, a lot. Over the years he learned a great deal about how to read people and outmaneuver them.  Disenfranchised from his family (except his mother) Olees left his home planet and put his training to work as a gambler. He has a reputation as a cutthroat sabacc player, but remains a little jealous of the skill and success of his "more-than-an-aquantance, not quite a friend" rival, Teller.





This is not an original design with me, I-Am-Boba-Fett had this idea listed on his eBay page, but I really liked the look of it:
Head = C'ai Threnalli
Body = Greef Karga (TVC)
Cape = from one of the Mandalorians I had a duplicate of
Hands = Boss Fight Studios shadow gray Blanks

Gee Oachs – Gran who put his wanderlust and aggression into becoming a mercenary. He now works as an escort/bodyguard for E.A. Eziren the peddler.



Recipe:
Head = Ree Yees (TVC)
Body = Boba Fett (Tusken)
Hands = Quarren Soldier

I've seen several Quarren mods to the Boba Fett body (like Don's great one) so I thought I'd go a different direction with the unnecessary Ree Yees in the Jabba's Denizens pack  :)

Olees Tilbro is a billiant figure! This alien design is actually everything I like about the Sequels.
The hands from Boss Fight match perfectly. I so need to save some budget to go shopping on their website. Same with Marauders...wish I had found more of those pilots on clearance back in the days...I recognized Greef's body right away, but wasn't aware of his customizing potential until I saw yours. Fantastic work by you and I-Am-Boba-Fett!

These are great Starchaser. Just how many in total of these great little background character have you made? I can't imagine. Great Work as usual!

Thanks Philipp. I liked the design right away, so kudos to I-Am-Boba-Fett. Check out Vitruvian armory online for parts to Boss Fight and other lines (cheaper than buying whole figures).

Thanks! Uhhh...I dunno....I lost count :) I do have a running list on my computer - but I never thought about numbering them. I'm still waaaay behind the photonovelist folks (like Chewie),  and world-builders (like Don and JDeck), though.

This was just a bit of fun, but I like it. When I saw the Axololt Fortnite figure I thought, "that fits in the Star Wars universe." So I made a few modifcations (yes those are rain drops on the figure):

Yahbow - a Xotal. Xotal develop from eggs, through a nymph stage (tadpole) to an "adolescent" amphibious quadrupedal stage. At this stage they can be mistaken for merqaal (Nix, the sidekick from Star Wars Outlaws). Yahbow was much more inquisitive than his clutch mates and so when explorers visited his planet, a child captured him for a pet. Yahbow, though innocent, was far from unintelligent. So it wasn't long before he had learned Basic and other "skills." He escaped from his "owner" and found a body of water to complete his final transformation into adulthood. He has found his way to Farsolax and lives along Clearwater Lake not far from Safa Thewel. He is generous, curious, always friendly, but never reveals anything about himself or his people to those he interacts with. For their part, the citizens of Safa Thewel treat him as part of their community without prejudice.





Recipe: (pretty simple)
Base figure = Fortnite Axolotl "Axo"
Shemagh = Marauder, Inc.
Knife belt = Chicken Fried Dime Store Legends "Sharpshooter"
Skirt = TVC Rey Jakku

So I had an ambitious idea that I would would upload a figure a day for all twelve days of Christmas, but I wasn't able to upload Christmas day or yesterday due to company...so I'll begin with three tonight and try to add one a day for the remainder of "Christmas."

Christmas day
Jan Dodonna:



This is a simple one, just a head swap, now that we have the SA Captain Antilles from the Rebel Fleet Trooper 4-pack

Second day of Christmas (the Feast of Stephen from "Good King Wenceslas"):

Riiyah Zakar – A Zygerrian. Riiyah’s family made enemies of powerful Zygerrian nobles and, in an ironic twist, were sold as slaves themselves. Liberated by Jedi, Riiyah's grandparents used the operational skills to start get jobs at a galactic transportation company. Riiyah is third generation in shipping. She is a shipping agent for a small outer-rim shipping company that does supply runs and is stationed in Safa Thewel.



Also a simple head swap: Captian Amelia McDonald's toy; body from Morgan Elsbeth (this is going to be a good body for customizing!).

Third day of Christmas

Yahrst-Bennin - Yarkora. This particular Yarkora didn't like the idea of being associated with criminals, so instead he used his ability to get information from people as a skill set to get a job with the galactic diplomatic corp. Though many people are uncomfortable around Yarkora, Yahrst-Bennin has become successful as a treaty negotiator.



Recipe:
Head/arms/legs and lower torso = Saelt-Marae
Upper torso and skirt = Admiral Ackbar
I built up the waist post and the neck post with hot glue for a snug fit

Day four of Christmas:

Persola Nubres – Siebb’s mate and a shop keeper in Safa Thewel; she manages the operations side of her husband's mining as well as selling wares at Safa Thewel's equivalent of a general store. She has an excellent head for business and is as no-nonsense as they come. She may be small, but she commands respect in the community and from visitors.





Recipe:
Head = Nien Nunb (TVC)
Upper Torso = Chi Eekway
Lower Torso = Kuill
Hair sculpted with Kneadatite
