I'm new here, and feeling a little out classed. The level of work here is amazing. I try to do a bathc of customs every month, I do a lot of crossover figures and then original designs. I'm still working on my sculpting skills, so it's mostly kit bashes and head swaps. Anyhow, here are some of my custom from my September batch. Let me know what you think.
Available on eBay until 09/23/18.

Welcome aboard Moronarama! Well, let me tell you I often feel the same about the “out classed” impression. But skills can be improved and the community on here is just outstanding - I think you and me made the best choice by signing up here!
To your customs: they look quite bizarre in a very positive way! I really like them! These are some nice kit-bashes I never expected to ever see...the crab-legged Jedi is probably my favorite of them. Did you use the Acklay legs for it? The head sculpt looks phenomenal as well!
Thanks for sharing, keep your head up and regards from Germany!

I love that Kit Fisto (can't remember the species!) figure!!!!
-
Amazing customs!
-
Well those sure look like some awesome customs to me. Off to the front page to share them. And welcome to Imperial Shipyards!
-
Thanks guys, I appreciate it. Glad to join the community.
DarthMore: The legs for the spider guy are from a TMNT Movie Spider Araknor figure. The head is from some modular Socket-Popper style spider toy that I haven't been able to identify. I picked it up at some garage sale. It was too cool not to use.
Jodo: Nautolan is the Kit Fisto race ... I have to use Wookiepedia a lot :) The Clone Wars Kit Fisto heads are great for females if you shave down the chin a little.
-
Wow, this is a special background story for this custom! Garage sales are always exciting! Didn't identify the legs. There are still so many action figure lines I don't know, yet.
With the current bid of $29 I expect it to go up far more! Fingers crossed for all your auctions! I'll watch them attentively. Or do you also ship to Germany? eBay shows me $28.92 for shipping to Germany...
Dude, the Samurai Vader looks so great, too! Is Snit Duecit, the Kitonak Jedi, based on an actual character?
And are you going to share new customs monthly?
- Philipp
-
wow
So many phenomenal and interesting custom figures.
Welcome aboard.
I can't wait to see more.
-
Darth More - I can ship to Germany, and it should only be about $15, not sure where eBay is getting thier price. If you win let me know and I can make arrangements.
And the Kitonak is not from any existing character, I just like to give my customs names. Snit is actually an alias of Droopy McCool according to Woopkiepedia, and Duecit just rhymed.
I plan on posting monthly, there are some months the day job/kids/life prevent me from getting much done, but I've been trying to finish some monthly. I will probable also post some my older ones tat I thought were particularly good.
FialaFernburg - Thanks for the welcome. I try to create something different, the weirder the better.

Folks there are 10 more custom auctions there other than the great ones he posted here. They are way more than reasonable prices. Time to spread the news about your auctions.
Once again welcome to ISY.
-
Moronarama thank you so much for your support! I currently bid on two of your phenomenal customs and this would be it. The showdown will be very exciting tonight (for me 2 am local time...).
Let's see what happens...
- Philipp
-
Nice work on these customs. Its great that you have posted some of your work. I hope we get to see more. I really like your arachnid Jedi and you're right, that head was definitely too good to pass up (might work well for an Admiral Trench) - too bad you couldn't identify its original line.
-
Here is my Thanksgiving batch of customs!

-
Really fun - I like the way you used heads from other toy lines to build new "species."
-
Wow now that is a great batch of customs.
Let me go share this on the front pages.
-
Amazing work !
-
Thank you guys. Building new races and crossover figures is definitely one of my favorite parts of customizing.
-
wow
That is a huge update.
One figure is better than the other.
My favorite is the heavily armed mouse droid.
-
Its a new month, so time for more customs. Here is the December batch ...

-
I am really liking the droids in this batch. That ALIENS Jedi is awesome too.
Off to share.
-
Starchaser - Thank you. I had a lot of fun making the R2-HV.
Tamer - Also thank you. I really like making droids, but they take a lot more though for them to look good. The Aliens Jedi is one of my "go to" figures. They are fun and I've made a few different version over the last couple of years. I'm thinking about making a chestburster/face hugger Padawan next.
-
I'm thinking about making a chestburster/face hugger Padawan next.
Now that will be cool.

I'm thinking about making a chestburster/face hugger Padawan next.
Now that will be cool.
I'm not sure "cool" is the word I'd use, but would like to see how that Padawan turns out :)
-
Wow, this is another amazing set of custom figures! It's always very special to look at so many customs at once - one more spectacular than the other! Calindo Rebus - Knight of the Old Republic is one of my favourites! Your customs give me some great moments and I'm very happy you joined the Yards! That Ugnaught Jedi is one of this great moments...never have seen that before ;D
Thanks for sharing!
- Philipp
-
I'm not sure "cool" is the word I'd use, but would like to see how that Padawan turns out :)
LOL. Yeah that could be a thing of nightmares!
-
wow
So many awesome Jedi and droid custom figures.
Excellent work.
-
Thank you guys, I'm glad you are liking the customs.
Here is a one with a card back that I completed for my neighbor, based on a Star Wars RPG Character. Meet Drinnak, the Ewok Pilot.
-
Now that looks awesome.
Off to share.
-
That's a great little Ewok and the cardback is excellent!
-
Thanks guys. Photoshopping that ewok was a beast, it was hard not making the fur look too cloned.
-
I agree, the cardback alone is a masterpiece of art! I like the hat! Where did you get it for the figure? Drinnak looks so cool! I can see a Jek Porkins had to donate its body...but it was definitely worth the effort! Now, I want to be your neighbour, too! I better start packing to get ready to move out!
Thanks for sharing! This custom gave me a very good time! This is just so much fun!
- Philipp
-
wow
It is so cool to finaly see an Ewok pilot. The figure and the cardback are amazing.
He looks a bit like Mayor T.J. Kong. The B-52 pilot from Dr. Strangelove.
-
So I finally got done with my February Custom Batch.

Off to share some of this and your auctions.
-
That's a great bunch of customs. Clever designs on some of these figures, and an interesting batch of heads. Some look like they are from other sources (like the Gand Thora). Glad to see you having fun with creating new species to inhabit the galaxy as well.
-
Wow...just WOW! What a massive update! One custom looking more stunning than the other - especially the head sculpts! I agree with Tamer - made me laugh so hard! A Sith Gremlin - how cool is that=?! ;D
Plo Koon looks also nice in blue. Where do you get all these alien headsculpts?
Most inspiring update here! Thanks so much for sharing!
- Philipp
-
Thank you guys, I really appreciate hearing the positive feedback.
And I am always looking for heads, everywhere I go. My wife makes fun of me because I'm always talking about decapitating toys.
So here's a rundown of the heads in this batch:
Two Gun Tik - The head is the pelvis from a SW Vintage Mawhonic (literally a butthead), the eyes are the backs off of two cheap ball point pens, and the antennae are each half of Legolas's bow from the Hobbit.
Al'Krato - Kenner Sandperson.
Ali'tini - POTF Jawa.
Darth Stripe - Funko Reaction Gremlin.
Datous - Jurassic World Playskool Pteranodon and face piece is a rocket from a Gundam model.
Do Heeda - Clone Wars Plo Kloon.
Fobusk - Another butthead, pelvis from a Geonosian Warrior. The eyes are again the backs of two ball point pens.
Ekkiloh - Toy Story 3 Twitch Action Links mini figure
Iehzo - POTF Greedo
Master Eyeballs - Original sculpt in Apoxy Sculpt
Mo Keela - Plo Kloon
Murray - Original sculpt in Apoxy Sculpt
Pavalaguna - Funko Reaction Fifth Element
Por Liis - SW Vintage Mawhonic
Rya Ahnkor - ROTS Aayla Secura
San Trillobyte - A vending machine trilobite eraser
Teeboo - Kenner Ree Yees
Tentaclees - Original sculpt in Apoxy Sculpt
-
Wow, that’s what I call a “headhunter”! Thank you so much for the insight and detailed listing!
Just received a package from Hong Kong with some Vaders for my upcoming custom project...
- Philipp
-
Wow, I bet its fun to watch you peruse an action figure aisle.
I just had to get a few more of these figures on the front page today.
-
Clever use of "non head parts" to make alien heads :) I might just have to rip off that idea. I do like to put the occasional Schleich or Papo creature under the old guillotine for creating a new species, though.

-
Man what fun you could have with a Geonosis Arena with all the great Jedi combinations you are making. I am liking some of those mash ups too. Off to share some of this and your auctions.
-
Another awesome update! I love the variety of figures in your collection! BB-8 looks great as protocol droid! And I really like the T3 tower for the Imperial Shadow Droid!
Jedi looking excellent, again! Tamer is right! You could make a huge setup of Geonosis or Hypori of the Clone Wars.
Thanks for sharing this batch of fun! Made my Friday!
- Philipp
-
Well I'm glad I could liven up your Friday. I could make a hell of a Geonosis set up, couldn't I. Jedi's are just such and easy fall back for trying new races, since the look is so iconic and I can just focus on the heads, etc.
-
Great batch of customs. I particularly like the protocol droid - great combination. And, of course, your Xudarian Jedi (as I've done one as well). Your Wyrmulon figure is from the Chap Mei Beast Raiders line and is just named Warr - there is no "species" given as they don't really develop much backstory for their lines.
-
Thanks for the info on the Chap Mei figure. I was barking up the wrong tree, thinking it was a Lanard or Mythical Legends figure. Plus now I've found a whole new pile of figs to keep an eye out for future customs.

I think I just died hard of laughter after seeing that custom of Bruce Willis! What a fun idea! Excellent set of customs once again!
- Philipp
-
Excellent work! I want that mogwai!
-
I love that little mouse droid turned assassin. So many cool combinations here. Off to share to the front pages as well as your auction link.
-
Thanks guys. I always have a lot of fun with my customs. I've been wanting to get the Je-Die Hard done since I first saw the Joe Colton figures from GI Joe Retaliation. I have a Darth Gruber planned to go with it, but haven't found a head that looks enough like Alan Rickman.
The Mogwai Jedi was a must after I did the Darth Stripe a couple of months ago.
And the Maus Assassin droids are always fun. I think this is the 3rd on I've done, thanks to a lot of clearance General Hux figures :)
-
Another set of fun customs. The Skull island Sith is particularly gruesome and using the Jyn Erso head on a padawan body was a great idea!
-
Moronarama you are a true "head hunter"! So many interesting sculpts and designs to add to the SW universe...
The mouse droid is great! All the Huxs are on discount here, too - at 6€. For how much did you get them? For 3 bucks I'd be in.
- Philipp
-
Starchaser - Thanks. I thought the Skull Island head was just too awesome not to use on something. I'd had the Loki body hanging around for a while, not being able to find a head the looked right on the articulated neck. I have another Leafwing head (again WalMart Clearance provides the best stuff) that I'm still trying to decide how best to use.
And Jyn's head was perfect for a kids, she has a nice round face. It worked well.
Darth More - I got the Hux for $2US. I bought the 6 they had left at my local WalMart. I also nabbed some Jyn Erso's and Qu'ra's. Sadly this was a few months ago and they are all gone from the store.
-
wow
So many phenomenal custom figures. One better than the other.
Excellent work.
-
So here are a couple of quick projects I did for some friends. The first is Jimi Calrissian, the greatest guitarist in the universe. Pretty simple repaint of the Kenner Lando with a sculpted afro/headband and Greedo's vest. The guitar is from a Playmobil figure.
-
The second was a requested custom from a friend who wanted a Howard the Duck Movie figure. The head, tail and feet are sculpted. The body is a Kenner Ugnaught figure and the jacket is cut down from trench coat from a Star Wars figure I have forgotten. I made the play duck out of a piece of craft foam and a screen shot from the movie.
-
Those are really fun! Howard's head turned out well. Nice job on the cards too.
-
Wow, I can see it is awesome to be friends with you. Fantastic work on both the figures and the cards. Off to share!
-
Thank you, guys. I feel like my sculpting is getting a lot better.
-
I agree! Your customs are some of the most creative ones I know. I really like all the variations! Jimi Calrissian is another very fun character! Awesome work on softgoods, accessories and the cardbacks of course! That's some serious work of art! Thanks for sharing & sweetening my day!
- Philipp

Really impressive works.

Awesome work! Love the Howard!

Thank you, Tamer. I like the Cthulhu guys a lot. They are a fun sculpt to make.
-
Great update!. Like what you did with those Star Trek Kreo heads. The Abednado Jedi looks really good , as does Holdo, and I like the Mustafar Jedi - great idea. Some really great characters/concepts in here.
-
Hey Starchaser, I think I got turned onto those Kreo head from looking at your stuff. They are awesome and super inexpensive. The Mustafarian Jedi was one I have been pondering for a while. I finally found the right body t match the front attaching head, X-Men Evolutions Toad. I'm pretty pleased with it, except the legs are on the short side.
-
Oh - Evolutions Toad is a great idea! Wouldn't have thought of that. I don't think the legs look too bad.

-
Wow, very nice batch. I think I like that Bounty Hunter the best. Off to share this and your auction.
-
Thanks guy.
L-Jarvis: let me dig around for parts on another Rodian. I'd certainly be up for a trade :)
Tamer: Grannie Ghuul was one of my favorites in this batch. I picked up some clearance Maz figures and was trying to find a good head for it and came across a Thundercat's Slithe and BINGO!
-
I love these!
Especially the droids, but they’re all extremely well done mashups.
-
Thank you, Sjefke. I'm glad you got a kick out of my work.
-
I really like the Zabrak and the heavy astromech is a great concept. Nice update!
-
Okay, here are a few custom commission figures I got completed this last month.
The first is a Lepi Jedi that I did on commission. Pretty much just a head swap, but I though the light saber came out nicely. I had to carve it down from a rocket.
The second is one a did as part of a silent auction we put on for a coworker fighting cancer. The request was for a Prince figure, so of course I went Purple Rain. Its a Reaction Flash Captain Cold figure with a Reaction Pulp Fiction Jules. I had to sand down the mutton chops and goatee and then repaint. The shirt is sculpted in Apoxy Sculpt. And the card backer was really just a copy of the old movie poster resized.
-
Amazing work!
-
Thanks, GhostSkull. I'm glad you enjoyed them. You slid in there before I could get the last one up
The last one of the bunch is The Heel, a character from some comics I created back in college. Very rough, poorly drawn and poorly written comics. if you feel like abusing your self they can be seen at http://www.weakcut.com
The figure is an Indiana Jones Mutt Williams and the head is a Superman: Man of Steel Zod with a lot of sculpting. The card is just the cover of the 2nd mini-comic I drew resized for a card. Voila!
-
Wow, very nice. Top notch thing that you did for that coworker with cancer. Top notch.
Off to share.

I have finished my July batch of customs.

Very nice. Have the two I like the best on the front page.
Oh, I noticed your auction link wasn't working so I fixed it.
Off to share.
-
Thanks, Tamer. And thank you very much for fixing the link.
-
Amazing customs! But i got to say my favorite is lumpy, ive watched the holiday special probably a hundred times, any chance on getting the recipe? 0//
-
No problem, Ghostskull.
The recipe for Lumpy is super simple. Its mostly just a 2004 Vintage Chewbacca. Take out the forearms and attach the hands to the upper arm socket. Same thing on the legs, remove the lower legs and put the feet into the empty knee socket. For the torso, there are 3 section on the figure, and so I pulled one out. There is a post that runs down the torso that has a ball that fits into a socket at the pelvis and a head post at the top. I had the take a chunk out of the middle of that and reattach the pieces together in the middle to preserve the head post. The head is a Playskool Galactic Heroes Chewbacca. The figure has the traditional bandoleer that is attached in the front and back of the left shoulder into a set of grooves. I used some all purpose glue to fill those and texture with a clay shaping tool to match the fur.

Very cool i will have to try this if you dont mind!

Outstanding work!
-
I've been offline for a while and missed several updates, you have produced a wide variety of really fun characters. Excellent work.
-
wow
So many outstanding custom figures.
My favorite is Darth Deadpool.
-
Thank you Jarvis, Starchaser and Fiala. I slacked off responding to my thread.

I give you the August Batch!

Oleg Ogoss - Human Skiff Guard

I always find your work most inspiring! I might be able to actually acquire a couple of your masterpieces and pick them up in the U.S. next year. Out of this update, I like the Samurai Guard and the Rebel Pilots most. I do hope we'll see an update of the ROTS Neimodian Warriors, Guards and Commanders some time in super articulated form.
My favorite name definitely is Heinrich Boarfist!
Great update! Lots of awesome stuff here! Please, keep up the great work!
- Philipp
-
Great job with another round of really creative customs. I like that Mangalore Jedi a lot, and there are several really clever combinations - the Lovecraft-ian executioner is a one. You are doing a good job of bringing in parts from other lines to expand your pools of available fodder.
-
Liking that Security Droid a lot, but all are nice. Off to share the update and your auctions.

Thanks, Phillip. The samurai Imperial Gurad is one of thos simple hea swaps that just look so good. The Nemodian pilot is the same way, and the bonus is the standard helmet fits. I would like to see some Nemodians in the next batch. I've been sorely disappointed in how few aliens they have made in the last few runs, since Force Awakens. I know part of it is they are putting out fewer figures overall, but its still disappointing.
And Heinrich just seemed to call out of a good German name :)

Glad you liked them, Starchaser. I think I'd like to try the Mangalore again, and sculpt the head myself. The Reaction head is just not quite right, but I wanted to try it out anyhow. And I am always on the hunt for parts and trying out different combos. Sometime, of course, it's just a matter of working with what I have on hand and seeing what physically fits together :)

Thank you also, Tamer. On another feed I follow, someone suggested the Security Droid looked more like a starship painter droid. I might make another one with bright graffiti style colors. We'll see.
-
I'm always a fan of your work. They're unique and funky, in a good way. Out of this group, my favorite is a toss up between the Musca skiff guard, and the ugnaught bounty hunter. They're both pretty rad! Of course they're all cool, but they stick out to me.
-
I really like that Hammerhead Jedi too.
-
That security droid is very intimidating. Reminds me of the ones from KOTOR somehow! lvva
-
I agree Clanleaderyautja! Man, these were good times playing KOTOR...I really hope we'll see more of those era in 3.75" form...
-
I can see what you guys are saying, there are some great droids in KOTOR. It's probably the coloring, but I though it looked like something the Colonial Marines from Aliens might use.
I recently bought the SW Guide to Droids, so I'm going to try my hand at building some of the ones in there. See what I can come up with.
-
I've been a slacker and missed the whole month of September. But I finally finished a new batch of figures for October.
They are available on eBay now.

The Late Dr. Cadavus - A weird zombie robot I made just because I had the parts
Carvallo Deel - Human Bounty Hunter
Gobi Haslaw - Gran Pilot
GX-512 - Combat Droid
-
J8K - Droid Bounty Hunter
Kala Durdo - Zen-Whoberis Assassin - A Star Wars/Marvel Mashup
Alien vs Predator Jedi Sparring Pair

-
The Utinni Kid - Jawa Gunslinger - The Fastest Gun on Tatooine
Wu - Kilrathi Jedi - A Star Wars/Wing Commander Mashup
-
I like all of these. I picked some favs for the front pages. Good stuff!
-
More fun combinations. I really like the Jawa gunslinger - that's a great idea! I also really like the Kilrathi Jedi, good use of an old head.
-
Totally out there, and awesome. I remember seeing your Johnny Ocho custom for sale a while back and absolutely being tickled to death by it. The Utinni Kid, of course, is also a hoot. I love your names and designs. Great stuff!
-
I really like that Jawa too. Back to the front pages.
-
The Utinni Kid is one of my favorite creations. Jawas are my focus for collecting and have always been my favorite aliens as a kids. When we played the Star Wars RPG in high school and college, I was a Jawa Smuggler with my own YT Freighter. It was riffing on that they got me the idea to make a Jawa Gunslinger. This current figure is my third run at the character (below is my original Utinni Kid and Doc Jawa figures), and I've also made a few drawings of the idea. My long term plan is to make a whole outlaw gang made of Jawas and droids.
Thanks for all the kind words, I really just like having fun with the parts and making characters that I find cool or funny.
-
Wow, these are great. And what an awesome plan too. Back to the front pages.
-
October 3 is actually a holiday here in Germany, but I've been quite busy the last month. So I missed September, too. And your latest batch!
Man, your custom figures always boost one's imagination! Aude already said it: Your designs and character names complement perfectly!
One looks more interesting than the other! So much diversity - awesome for the Star Wars universe!
Carvallo Deel, Gobi Haslaw, the GX-512 Combat Droid, Kala Durdo and Rasska are the favorites of this batch. The GX-512 reminds me of the concept art CIS combat droids seen in the Revenge of the Sith videogame! Good memories there...
And like other members wrote before me, The Fastest Gun on Tatooine is my absolute favorite one and made me laugh a good moment long! Such an awesome idea! I can well imagine how you disguised as Jawas and other Star Wars characters when you were kids. You did well! Growing taller sucks so you caught the perfect time to be a Jawa!
Thanks so much or sharing! It's always enlightening to come by and take a look at your latest creations!
- Philipp

;D
Love these Jawa customs!
I saw that pic of the Jawa with the wide brim hat somewhere on the web and thought,
‘What a great, yet easy custom that would be’.
The rest are great too.
Very original use of parts.
Love the skinny droid.
Where did you find that steam punk top hat?
-
Not wanting to jack this thread, but some of those latest pieces of artwork would make for some awesome tatoos.
-
The Jawa gunfighters are really fun! I like Doc Jawa and too am curious about the source for his top hat.
-
Tamer: Thanks about the art. I don't get as much time to draw as I used to. But, feel free to use any of mine for a tattoo :)
Star Chaser/Sjefke: Thanks also. The top hat is from a Imaginext blind-bag Steam Punk figure. I should have grabbed more when they were in the stores, 'casue they go for $10-$15 on ebay now instead of $3.
-
Skinny Pete Rulez! Love it!!
-
Sweet, thanks for sharing!

I present my November Batch of custom figures.
I usually try to get 3 batches in between November and Christmas, so fingers crossed this will be one of three in quick order.
Available on eBay until 11/24/18.
https://www.ebay.com/str/weakcut/Custom-Action-Figures/_i.html?_storecate=49737563013 (http://rover.ebay.com/rover/1/711-53200-19255-0/1?ff3=4&pub=5575055288&toolid=10001&campid=5337371392&customid=&mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.com%2Fstr%2Fweakcut%2FCustom-Action-Figures%2F_i.html%3F_storecate%3D49737563013)
I've also decided to start including the recipes for my figures.
Professor Zombot
Another zombie robot. The body and legs or from a Ready 2 Robot figure, the arms are Battle Droid, the head is an original sculpt in Super Sculpy and the dome is an Idea-ology glass vial from Hobby Lobby.
Anto Mislah - Quarren Bounty Hunter
The head and hands are from a Kenner ROTJ Squid Head figure, torso and arms are Vintage Kithaba (Skiffguard), and the legs are Black Series Vizam. The Squid Head had been chewed on by a dog, so I like to pretend old Anto survived an encounter with a Rathtar.
Commandante Eidechse – Raptoriod First Order Officer
The head is from a Kre-O Star Trek Gorn figure, the rest of the body is a Last Jedi General Hux, and the hat is from some anime figure. I imagine the Commandante runs the First Order’s gulag on some dark frozen planet and goes around smacking prisoner’s in the head with his cane.
DST-487 “Dusty” – Service/Repair Droid
The tracks and body are from a Dollar Tree tank and fueling station, the arms are Battle Droid, the eye is a Halo modular armor piece, the radar dish is from a Scrubber Droid, and the back pack is from an Aliens Minimate Space Marine figure.
-
Filo Kopric – Ardennian Jedi
The body, upper arms, and legs are a Vintage ROTJ Luke Skywalker, the lower arms are from a Luminara Unduli figure, and the head is from a Pirate of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales monkey figure. I’m not super happy with the look of the arms, but I wasn’t able to find a figure with a deep enough torso to joint both arms at the shoulder level. I will probably revisit this guy again.
J88 - Protocol Droid
The head is BB-9E, torso and legs are Dr. Who Cyberman, the arms are from a GI Joe Valor vs. Venom B.A.T.S figure and the lower right arms is from a POTF 2-1B Medic Droid.
Kliket – Verpine Bounty Hunter
The head is the pelvis from a Vintage Mawhonic figure (so he’s a butt-head), the eyes are the back of 2 Bic ink pens, the antennae are the ends of a Hobbit Legolas bow, the torso is a POTJ Plo Koon, the arms are from a Lanard C.O.R.P.S., the belt is from a Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides Gunner from Qar figure, and the legs are Jurassic World Dr. Ian Malcolm.
Oddo Resk – Lannik Bounty Hunter
The head is a Attack of the Clones Even Piell, the hair and arms are from a Hobbit Fili the Dwarf, the torso and legs are from a Spy Kids Gerti Giggles figure.
-
R2-HMR – Heavy Astromech Droid
Another heavy R2 unit. The torso and arms are M.A.R.S. Cybotronix figure. The head is R2-D2. The legs are from a Mega Bloks Halo Hunter figure. No sure where the hammer came from.
RD-X54 – Service Droid
The head is an Austin Powers Felicity Shagwell Radio Communicator, the body and legs are Battle Droid, and the arms are General Grievous.
Samaira Jeht – Human Padawan
A simple head swap and repaint. The head is Narnia: Prince Caspian Lucy Pevensie and the rest is Zett Jukassa.
Seiji Miyaguchi – Neimoidian Jedi
The head is Lushros Dofine, the hat is from a Big Trouble in Little China Thunder figure, and the rest is a Saesee Tiin figure. I stole the name from Kurosawa’s The Seven Samurai.
-
Shadoh -Trianii Jedi
Another head swap. The head of from a rubber alien figure I picked up in Roswell, NM, and the rest is Qui Gon Jinn
Si’Na’Wa – Tiss’shar Senator
Head swappy goodness. The head of from a Toy Story: The Toys That Time Forgot Raptorian Guard figure and the rest is a Lott Dodd figure.
-
Another great batch of customs there! Really like Anto Mislah, Filo Lopric & Oddo Resk!
-
Great set of customs! The "Big Trouble in Little China" hat works great! I really like J88, good parts combination. I'm curious about the scale of your Ardennian Jedi - the idea of the Pirates monkey head is great. Oh, and ... Long live the Tiss'shar!
-
I agree, another great batch. I really like that Verpine, but all are fantastic. Off to share the update and your auctions.
-
Thanks guys.
Starchaser: The Ardennian is 3.75, but it's definitely larger than the Rio Durant 3.75 figure, mostly taller. I think when I revisit this race, I'm going to look at getting some shorter legs. When I go home for lunch, I'll post a picture of Filo and Rio side by side for you so you can see the difference.
-
Very cool! And unique. I especially like that squid head guy!
-
Thank you Chuckles!
Strachaser: Here is a photo comparing the figure size on the Ardennians. I think next time I'm going to raid my Hobbit/Dwarf parts, make the figure smaller and closer to the original. I think the head will still work. I bought everyone of those Pirates of the Caribbean Monkey sets I could find when they went on clearance. Its a fun head and its after plastic so it fits easily on most of the neck posts with out modification.
-
Cool, thanks for the comparison shot. I really think your tip on the Pirates monkey heads is spot on. Thanks again.
-
I love your vision and creativity to create the head of Kliket from a Mawhonic pelvis.
-
Thank you, Aude. I am always looking at random things trying to see head or droid bodies. I just had a bunch of Mawhonic and Geonosian pelvises left over from other figures and just started playing around. I'm kind of inspired by the original Kenner prototype extended line, where it just looked like they were kit bashing making new characters.
-
So I'm not great a process shots, because I find it hard to stop and take pictures in the middle of working on figures. But anyhow here is a shot of the figures I'm currently working on all together. Most are fully assembled and just need paint, but there are a few I'm still working on the builds for, like the clone trooper (gonna be a medic) and the Gand (it's gonna be a bounty hunter, I just want the trooper armor for the upper body and arms. Plus that body is too tall.)
tada ...
-
Wow, that is a lot of custom goodness. Off to share.
I figured it was time for your December batch but wow!
-
I really like your figures, but I'm astounded by your pace of production!
Looking forward to seeing the next set complete.
-

Thanks, Tamer. I think I should have the first half up by this Sunday. My goal is to get the rest up by the following Sunday.
I really like your figures, but I'm astounded by your pace of production!
Looking forward to seeing the next set complete.
Thank you Chuckles. Now to be honest, about 1/3 of these have been in some stage of assembly for the last month or so, and I have just been tweaking them. So it's not like I just whipped these all out in the last 4 weeks. But I like to work on multiple figures at the same time, that way if I get stuck on one or need to let something dry, I can flip to another one and keep going. I also have the luxury of a 1 hour lunch break and I live near home so I get a solid 45 minutes most days to work in the peace and quiet of an empty house :)
-
Wow, that's a lot of figures. I can only manage one or two at a time. Look forward to the final postings.
-
I agree! So many great ideas on the workbench there! Love the idea of that mutated Ventress, looking forward to the Clone Medic and already love that golden Astromech friend. The Rhodian on the right hand side reminds me of The Force Unleashed, which I played through last weekend. Got inspired on Raxus Prime a bit...Hasbro need to give us a Greedo on TVC card already! Or I just need to mold n cast a couple heads of Pax Bonkik. Thanks for the update! This batch is magnificent!
-

As you will see shortly the mutated Ventress is a Hanch Assassin. The small size of the arms made it easy to attached multiples to the torso. RC-1136's clone troopers inspired the idea for a clone medic. With all the other specialized units he fleshed out, it made me think about the need for a medic. I may make a droid companion to go with him. We'll see where the gold Astromech goes, O find my self slapping Astromech legs on anything cylindrical lately just to see how it looks. And I welcome any of the aliens to the Vintage Series. That has been my biggest complaint with the black series and all the 5 POA figures since Force Awakens, not enough droids and not enough aliens. These are what I have always loved best about Star Wars figures.

Thank you, RC. I don't do many troopers, but you really opened up the idea for me.

Alright, here we go ... December Batch: Part 1
Available on eBay until 12/15/19.
https://www.ebay.com/str/weakcut/Custom-Action-Figures/_i.html?_storecate=49737563013 (http://rover.ebay.com/rover/1/711-53200-19255-0/1?ff3=4&pub=5575055288&toolid=10001&campid=5337371392&customid=&mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.com%2Fstr%2Fweakcut%2FCustom-Action-Figures%2F_i.html%3F_storecate%3D49737563013)
Beta Octo –The Electrical Man
Head is SW BB-8, body/torso/legs are a Ben 10 Steam Smythe and the tanks on the back are a jet pack from a Tomorrowland Young Frank reactions figure. The staff is a Fortnite electrical staff and the lantern is from a Disney Atlantis Milo Thatch figure. The clock belt buckle is from Idea-ology charm set.
Black Rezzlah – Hanch Assassin
Head is a Minimates Battle Beasts The Tarantual figure, and the body arms and legs are SW Asajj Ventress (3 of them in the case of the arms. The holsters and pistols are from a SW Clone Wars Animated Boba Fett (Child), the flame throwers are Minimates Aliens Space Marines and the axes are from LOTR Balin the Dwarf. I think this might be my most successful multi-armed figure I have made. Of course insect/arachnid joints don’t have to look as smooth as fleshy mammal joints.
Dovos Kartoom – Devilesco Jedi
One of my made up races. The head is from a set of demon figures I picked up at a dollar store in Branson, MO. The rest is a SW Phantom Menace Qui Gon Jin. The head reminds me of a demon from Dungeons & Dragons, but for the life of me I cannot remember the name of it. I remembers painting a miniature of it back in college, but I must have lost it, cause it’s not in my old case.
Golmesh – Gand-Thora Bounty Hunter
BUTTHEAD! The head is from an SW Undead Geonosian, the eyes are from the back of a cheapo Bic style pen. The torso is a SW Momaw Nadon, the loincloth/holster is SW Ellis Helrot, and the arms & legs are from a Lanard CORPS! figure. The knife is from some McFarlane figure, but I cannot remember which one. I really like this one, I though I managed to catch that Star Wars Cantina vibe better that I have with a lot of my figures.
-
KV-1N “Kevin”– Astromech Droid
The body is a barrel from a Lanard CORPS! set, the legs are from a SW Build A Droid Astromech figure, and the rest is from all over. The eye on one side is part of an Animal Planet flashlight, the eye on the other side is a piece from the Mastermind board game, and the rest are pits a pieces left over from trimming down other figures. I used a block printing knife to try to create panels and details, but they came out pretty wonky. I was going for a vibe similar to Old B.O.B. from Disney’s The Black Hole, dented, used and abused.
Lumpwaroo “Lumpy” Wookie Youngling
Same as the one I made before (SW Playskool Chewbacca head on a SW Chewbacca that was shortened by removing sections), but I made a cardbacker to go with it. The card backer was made of a template I built in Adobe PhotoShop & Illustrator.
Luna Olocto – Nautolan Bounty Hunter
SW Kit Fisto head, SW Jyn Erson, Body, legs and Upper arms, and SW Rey lower arms. Nothing too fancy here.
MAUS-009 – Assassin Droid
SW Mouse Droid body, and Pit Droid arms. The radar on top is from a Zak Storm Caramba figure, the eye is a piece from the Mastermind board game. Another of my deadly little droids :)
-
PO-45 – Sprog Pilot
Just a head swap. Head is a Kre-O Star Trek Sprog figure, the body is a SW Black Series Biggs Darklighter, and the helmet is a cutdown helmet from SW C’ai Thernali.
R13-D8 – Imperial Astromech Droid
The legs are SW Build a Droid Astromech legs, the body is the arms from a modular dollar store robot and the eye is once again a pieced from the Mastermind board games. I have been raiding the heck outta that old game.
Red Jax – Pirate Droid
Torso and legs are SW Battle droid, the arms are SW General Grievous, and the head is the spotlight from an underwater camera from an Animal Planet playset. The sword and scabbards are from a GI Joe Destro figure and the pistol and holster are from a SW Black Series General Lando Calrissian. Even though it looks nothing like those robots, this guy made me think of Ice Pirates.
Rolas Minilon – Utaupan Jedi – Tatooine Expeditionary Force
Another head swap, SW Clone Wars Animated Kit Fisto, torso, arms & legs, SW Tion Medon head and hands, and the helmet is from a GI Joe Dusty figure. I liked the idea of a Tatooine force based on the WWI & WWII African Expeditionary forces. I think its an Idea I might try to flesh out a little more in some future figures.
-
Tep Idost – Givin Jedi
Head & Hands are SW Elis Helrot, the rest is SW Anakin figure. I replaced the cybernetic right forearm & hand arm with the left forearm of a second Anakin figure. It works pretty well, but you have to make a new socket for the hand for it to be in the right place.
Jedi Zach De La Rocha – Rage Against the Empire
The head is SW Jarek Yeager, torso & legs are SW Quinlan Vos, and the arms are Jurassic World Ian Malcolm. The cardbacker was assembled in Adobe PhotoShop & Illustrator. I took a shot of Zach from a concert and then layered on a photo from some guy’s cosplay outfit. I am sure that Zach De La Rocha would probably hate this since Disney is such a huge corporate behemoth, but when I first saw the head on that Jarek Yeager figure, I just know I had to try out this figure.
LT. Jolaak - Gand-Thora Special Commando
Another whose head is a butt. SW Head is Genosian Pelvis, the rest is a WWII America Soldier. The canteen of from a Gear of War figure, the grenade from a GI Joe and the pack is from a SW Battle Droid. I should have painted a little pencil thin mustache on him, and I imagine he has the alien bug equivalent of a British accent.
-
Such great combinations yet again here. I don't know how you think all these up. Off to share this to the front pages before I run out of internet time this morning.

Thanks, Tamer! Some times I have a plan, like with the case of Lumpy or Zach De La Rocha, but a lot of time I just have a pile of parts I think look cool and then start putting them together in different ways until I hit something I like. It's kind if the "doodling" equivalent of figure customization.

Another interesting batch of customs. There are some really great combinations. I like your Harch assassin and Red Jax (the Ice Pirates mention made me chuckle). Good job.
-
One thing you really need to credit yourself for I was noticing this morning is your head to neck to body configuration. Nothing seems out of whack with either head size, neck proportions, etc. with all of the customs you do even with wild combinations. You make it seem believable with how you put these together.
-
Yeah, that Red Jax is striking! Your updates are always a fun read - I never know what to expect, and I love that.
-
Thank you Starchaser & Aude. I'm glad you guys are entertained. Its fun for me to just let my imagination run wild and try out new things. It funny I struggle when I'm trying to make a custom to order to match some existing character. Something about it sucks the artistic juices out of me. The weird crazy original designs do more for me.

Thanks for the compliment, Tamer. It's funny, because I'm only half conscious of matching parts when I'm doing it, but it bugs me when the scale of the parts don't look right. For example, I almost never use Leia heads, because that are undersized and only look good on the bodies made for her. I guess its just a hold over from when I learned to draw and trying to make everything look natural.
-
Like I've said before I'm a big fan of yours. I like the cookiness it's always something different.
-
wow
So many outstanding and unique custom figures.
Keep up the great work.

Alright, first batch of the new year!
https://www.ebay.com/str/weakcut/Custom-Action-Figures/_i.html?_storecat=49737563013 (http://rover.ebay.com/rover/1/711-53200-19255-0/1?ff3=4&pub=5575055288&toolid=10001&campid=5337371392&customid=&mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.com%2Fstr%2Fweakcut%2FCustom-Action-Figures%2F_i.html%3F_storecate%3D49737563013)
I'm trying out some back stories for my creations … let me know what you think …
AU-D2 – Astromech Droid
AU-D2 was a present from the Prince of Hynestia to his daughter Lady Oscora. AU-D2 was specially commission from Industrial Automation to act as servant, chauffeur, and body guard for its owner. Its whimsical exterior is both fashionable and deceptive. The over-sized antennae on top of AU-D2 actually houses a powerful capacitor that can create a 20 foot “stun field” that can be used to disable potential assailants.
The body is some wind up robot I had kicking around and the legs are obviously from an SW R2-D2 figure. The body took quite a bit of hot glue to fill in the holes for the winder, the feet, and an arm that had been sticking out the side. The lowest eye is a piece from a Mastermind board game. I though gold would be a different color to try, but it may have been too much … it looks a little like a Christmas ornament.
Bone Hammer – Yautja Rebel Pilot – A Star Wars/Predator Mashup
A member of the Blood Squadron formed from the remnants of the Green and Silver squadrons and reconstituted with several new pilots recruited from the outer rim. The Blood Squadron was tasked with striking Imperial Garrisons along the Outer Rim in order to liberate and recruit as many new planets as possible. Bone Hammer was one of the few Yautja willing to abandon his people’s tradition of trophy hunting that lead most of his race into the bounty hunting profession. Bone Hammer is a skilled pilot who has modified his A-Wing fighter with equipment from his home world, including: advanced sensor array, full rotating auto targeting cannons, and cloaking device. This of course comes at the cost of diminished shield capacity. Bone Hammer is often utilized by the squadron for advanced scouting and recon, at which he excels.
Head and hands are a Reaction Predator, and the body is a SW Luke Skywalker Pilot. The hair required some trimming since the neck is longer on the reaction figure.
Busco Delv – Iktochi Mandalorian Warrior
Busco Delv was only 5 cycles old when his parents prospecting ship was attacked by raiders. His parents were murdered and he and his two siblings were left adrift in space. For 5 weeks they floated, getting closer and closer to starvation. By the time the Mandolorian cruiser found them Busco was the only survivor. Adopted as a foundling by the cruiser’s captain, Busco was inducted in the ways of the Mandalorian. This was in the days before the purge and before the requirement that a Mandalorian’s helmet not be removed. Busco trained hard and became a skilled warrior. He trades his skills in the Bounty Hunters Guild, but is always searching for the raider group that killed his family, to exact revenge.
Head and helmet are SW Saesee Tiin, the body, arms and legs are SW Jango Fett. The belt/cloth is from a SW Giran figure, with some Gi Joe Grenades and a SW Han Solo holster and blaster. I’m not sure where the backpack came from
Corporal Hinywine – Gand Thora Rebel Trooper
Corporal Hinywine loves Bernice … his reconditioned Clone Wars era EMP Launcher. He's replaced the original droid disrupting grenades with a more all purpose ion cannon load that wreaked havoc with enemy equipment and blasters. Like the few Gand Thora that remain in the galaxy, Hinywine is sworn enemy to the empire who attempted to eradicate his entire race.
BUTTHEAD! Head is a Geonosian pelvis and the eyes are the backs from cheap ball point pens. The body is an Elite Forces soldier. I trimmed down the front pack, because it got in the way of the arms and added a blaster holster on the right. The kerchief is from a GI Joe Stiletto figure.
-
Darth Raptorus – Drabata Sith Lord
Born to a Drabatan High Family, Raptorus was never identified as a force sensitive by the Jedi Order. Trained by a series if shaman who were enslaved to his family, he quickly found his way to the Dark Side. He was sought out by Darth Nihilus, who became his master, as such Raptorus adopted a similar mask. Nihilus trained Raptorus and when his powers reached their peak, Nihilus betrayed Raptorus and consumed his life force.
The head is an Amazing Spiderman Lizard, and the rest of the body is a Marvel Skrull figure. The jacket is from a GI Joe Samurai figure, and the mask is from a GI Joe Blind Master. I styled the mask after Darth Nihilus
Dineera – Tiefling Bounty Hunter – A Star Wars/Dungeons & Dragons Mashup
Hailing from the spaceport of Waterdeep on the planet Faerun, Dineera was trained as a warrior and a thief. She has used these skills to her advantage as she sought bounties though out the larger galaxy. She known for her consistent ability to bring he quarry in alive, she prefers to use her molecular razor swords rather that blasters that lead to accidental disintegrations.
The head is from Angel Forge, the torso, arms and upper legs are a GI Joe Lady Jay, and the lower legs are from a GI Joe Storm Shadow. The bracers are off a Mini Mates Battle Beast figure.
Gobus Odai – Mon Calamari Bounty Hunter
Gobus Odai was drafted into the Mon Calamari's war with the Quarren at a young age. He became a blood thirst warrior for his people, but when peace came with the hated Quarren he could not abide it, and fled to the stars. He quickly earned a name for himself as a mercenary and bounty hunter, most notable capturing the wily Bib Fortuna after his betrayal of the Hutt Clans.
The head is SW Meena Tills, lower arms are SW Admiral Akbar, and the rest is SW Carnor Jax, The cape is from a Marvel Quasar figure. I normally like to do some paint work, but this one looked really good with the way he was, so I left him alone.
Governor Brasmun Kiy of Abednado – Imperial Magistrate
As the Imperial Magistrate of Abednado, Brasmun Kiy was one of the most oppressive and cruel governors the empire ever saw. Due to his people’s early resistance to the Empire, it was decided to subjugate the people mercilessly. Brasmun Kiy was a deposed autocrat who was awaiting charges leveled by The United Abednado Provinces Council. Although generally unpopular, he had a strong loyal base of militant support which he was able to use to control the population. The Empire found him to be the perfect candidate fro the job. Governor Kiy was captured shortly after Battle of Endor and turned over to the War Crimes Tribunal of the New Republic.
Head is C’ai Threnali, body is SW Rom Mohc. The Eye patch was made from a GI Joe weapons harness. I tried to stick the Abednado names being Beastie Boys songs … Brass Monkey!
-
Happy J8K – Droid Bounty Hunter
Happy J8K is an early model of the J8K series hunter droids. Programmed with a strange sense of humor designed to distract and disarm his target, there is nothing humorous about him once his blasters start firing. Like many of his model series, Happy J8K like wearing human clothing, though the oversized servos in his legs prevent most normal sized pairs of trousers.
Head is SW Pit Droid, torso, arms & hands are GI Joe Cobra Commander, and the legs are GI Joe Duke Accelerator Suit. The Jacket is from a SW Rebel Trooper.
KRZ-9 – Navigation Droid
The KRZ series navigators are far superior to the Astromech series, particularly in the management of large capital ships. They have 100 times the memory capacity, allowing them to hold all known start charts in their ready access memory. They have also been proven to be able to make far superior hyperspace jumps, saving substantial time and money to their owners. In addition to Navigation, The KRZ-9 is programmed for piloting, cargo control and minor maintenance.
Head is a SW Seeker Droid, torso and upper arms are a SW Commander Cody, the legs are SW Mawhonic and the feet are SW Jango Fett. I really like droids with giant heads and little bodies.
Munt – Geneshan Bounty Hunter
Captain Muntorious Mossback, or Munt to his friends and enemies, is a reliable bounty hunter, smuggler and low life. He is quite jovial and well-liked by most beings he interacts with, but he is also known for being a cutthroat business man and not above using heavy weaponry to get the job done.
Head is from an Ice Age Manny toy filled in with some hot glue, the arms are from a Family Dollar soldier, and the torso and arms are from a Chap Mei alien. The double barreled shotgun is from a Gears of War Dom figures, and the “elephant gun” is from the same Family Dollar soldier I got the arms from.
Nela San – Mirilan Bounty Hunter
Nela San was training as a nun in the Holy Order of White Nebula when she was recalled to her home on Mirila Prime due to the death of her father. With a sick and disabled mother and 5 younger siblings to provide for, Nela began to hire herself out for security work in the local crime syndicate. Using the special training she had acquired in the Order, Nela became quite good at wielding the large two handed vibro-sword. In spite of this, her caste status limited in how far she could go in the organization, so she eventually saved enough money to buy out her own contract, freeing her to take on freelance bounty missions.
Head is a Fortnite Dark Bomber. Torso, arms & hands are GI Joe Stilleto, and the legs are GI Joe Snake Eyes. I really though the tattoo-marking on the Dark Bomber face would look good as a Mirilan
-
RD-SV5 – Service Droid
RD-SV5 is the long suffering maintenance and service droid aboard the freighter ship Correllian Horizon. He toils endlessly trying to keep the ancient freighter systems running at a minimally acceptable level. If you let him he will tell you endlessly the woes of the ship as well as the current state of his own worn out machinery.
Head is a GI Joe Dr. Mindbender Scanner gun, torso and legs are SW Battle Droid, and the arms are SW General Grievous. He is equipped with a GI Joe flashlight and a Playmobil crowbar.
Snope Duol – Korbinite Jedi – A Star Wars/Marvel Universe Mashup
Snope was born feeble and blind. By the traditions of his clan he was taken to the Stone of Judgment where he was to be left until he died from exposure. Luckily the Jedi Order was already aware of his budding powers and Master Sofi Azul rescued him and delivered him to the temple for his raising. In a twist of fate, Doul was assigned back to his homeworld during the height of the Clone Wars, to expel a Separatist incursion. Sadly, Duol fell in battle, but not before securing victory for his battalion and saving scores of Korbinite lives. A statue was raised in his honor in the capital, as a shining example of what all citizens may achieve.
The head is a Beta Ray Bill cast, the hood is from a SW Clone Wars Plo Koon, and the rest is SW Obi Wan Kenobi Padawan figure.
Xorn Redclaw – Nephran Jedi
The Nephran are a reserved and reclusive species by nature, so Xorn Redclaw was considered quite the outlier by comparison. Sometimes referred to as the Singing Jedi, Xorn was known for launching into wild operatic display during battle. While most of his fellow warriors found this bizarre, it allowed him to tap into a primal version of the Force and fill his allies with courage and his enemies with fear.
Head & Hands are a Boss Fight Crustacean, Torso & arms are SW Clone Wars Kit Fisto, and the legs are SW Clone Wars Obi Wan Kenobi. The scarf is from a GI Joe Storm Shadow.
-
Wow, so cool. I am out of time, but I have to get these on the front pages.
-
I agree, another very cool batch! They all look awsum!
-
Great work. I love the Space Mammoth and Lobster Jedi figures the most!
-
Thank you guys, I appreciate all the support.
So I had some time off last week and started laying out some new figure for the next few months. I have made a new goal for the next year to try and make at least 1 non-Star Wars figure each month, just as a personal challenge and to expand portfolio. I plan on doing some from Battle Beyond the Stars, Ice Pirates, Buckaroo Banzai, Time Bandits, Heavy Metal, The Young Ones, and Briscoe County Junior. If you've got any suggestions, I would love to hear them.
Anyhow, here's what I have laid out so far. Almost none of them are painted yet, and a few are not fully assembled, but anyway ...
-
Wow, now that is some awesomeness there. Off to the front pages.
-
This looks like fun. I'm especially excited to see how the Kel Dor and Rakata turn out. Oh, and I thought of you and your customs when the Charon droid stood up on the lava ferry in The Mandalorian. :)
-
There are a lot of fun looking figures in there (and ships as well). I look forward to seeing them done - and up a bit closer:) You have so many creative ideas. I think Briscoe is a great idea, you can use the bucks from Chicken Fried Dime Store Legends, I was thinking of trying my hand at a Lord Bowler.
-
Thanks Tamer, I always appreciate it.

I Am enjoying the Kel-Dors a lot and have some how ended up with a ton of Plo Kloon heads laying around. The Rakata head was an unexpected find at Angel Forge. I was looking at their Critters and spotted that so I had to get it. We'll see how the final figure comes out.

See, I was thinking about a Lord Bowler too. I think the trick will be the hair and finding a head that looks enough like Julius Carey. But if I do, I'm definitely gonna do a Sho-Nuff too. The Dime Store Legends out to make the bodies way easy though.

Alright, here's my February batch (http://rover.ebay.com/rover/1/711-53200-19255-0/1?ff3=4&pub=5575055288&toolid=10001&campid=5337371392&customid=&mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.com%2Fstr%2Fweakcut%2FCustom-Action-Figures%2F_i.html%3F_storecate%3D49737563013).
3X-4G – Protocol and Security Droid
The 3X-4G is the perfect solution of the being on the go. Why deal with the hassle and expense of two droids when they can be rolled into one? The 3X-4G offers all the best parts of a protocol and translation droid with the enhanced armor and weaponry of a light security droid. And its smaller size makes it the perfect companion for any business trip. But don't take our word for it, just ask 3X-4G himself … “Salutations, good gentlemen. Do not advance upon my master or I will be forced to blast you into proverbial space dust!” PEW PEW PEW!
The head and legs are from a Ready to Robot figure. The torso is SW Tactical Droid. The arms are from a Rick & Morty Rick (Purge Suit) figure.
Basti Regto - Duros Jedi
The night before the Order came through, Basti Regto had a dream and for saw the betrayal. He awoke in a cold sweat unsure how to process this new information. He had to warn the Council! He had to let his fellow Jedi know not to trust their clone companions. Quickly dressing he made swiftly to the communications tower of Forward Camp Iota. He had just made it to the com-board when he felt the blasters sting in his back. Falling to the ground he could only despair as the world faded to black.
Head is SW Ellorrs Madak, the hands are SW Anakin Skywalker and the rest is SW Jedi Master Luke Skywalker. The long robes were trimmed down to give him a more classic Jedi look.
Clone Trooper Medic Stitches & Field Medical Droid PZ-1B
Someone has to keep the clones of the 13th Infantry Brigade patched together, and that job falls to Corporal Stitches and his trusted assistant PZ-1B. Seen often crisscrossing the battlefield trying to keep their troops ion fighting shape, Stiches makes good use of his energy shield which can be expanded to create and emergency operating theater. And in spite of him being a droid, the clones of the brigade have come to trust appreciate PZ-1B and his humorous bedside manner.
Stitches has a SW Animated Clone Trooper body with a SW Phase II Trooper helmet/head. The shield is from a Jurassic World Dinosaur Trainer Owen.
PZ-1B has a head from a SW PZ-4C0. The torso is SW General Grievous. The arms are from a T-800 Terminator figure and the legs are from a SW Super Battle Droid. The Shield is from a Mandalorian Police Officer. The Med Pack is a combo of a GI Joe Blindmaster strap and the pouches from a Fortnite Triage Trooper.
DST-439 – Service Droid
When your job is repairing the cooling towers in the scrapyards of Bracca, you have to be prepared for the unexpected. Whether is the rust spiders or the iron deadfalls, it’s a struggle just to stay functioning in that environment. And so DST-439 makes sure the tool he carries can double as weapons. Those clippers will cut through a Mynock as well as it cuts through a metal housing. The electrical probe makes an excellent stun stick for pesky rodents. A droid’s gotta survive!
The tracks and body are from a Dollar Tree tank and fueling station, the arms are Battle Droid, the eye is a Halo modular armor piece and the back pack is from an GI Joe Cyber Ninja figure.
-
EC-2-2 – Service Droid
For a service droid, EC-2-2 is quite the happy fellow. Maybe the Ugnaughts shouldn’t have loaded him with Max Rebos greatest hits, but a song makes the work go faster, even for a droid. Of course it has led him to select a number of bold color choices for his replacement parts, but he’s living his best robot life out there!
Torso is a SW Pit Droid. Head id from a M.A.R.S. Heroes Cybotronix Create & Build robot. The arms are from a SW Battle Droid. The lower body/treads are a combiners piece that came with the SW Force Awakens Finn figure. And he has a PKE Meter from a Ghostbusters figure.
Jontukk – Gand Rebel Commando
When the Empire came to Gand they didn’t receive much of a fight. The humble population conceded quickly to control of Regional Governor Horus Bight. The people of Jontukk’s village tried to engage in peaceful resistance for Imperial control and in response Bight razed demolished the hamlet in a hail of orbital laser bombardment. Jontukk was one of only a handful of survivors and by the sacred rite of his people swore vengeance upon the Empire. Seeking passage off world, he came into contact with a rebel cell and joined their ranks. It was in a skirmish on Planet Abrego that Jontukk found his trademark clone trooper cuirass and bracers. He has left these with their original markings to honor the spirit of the fallen clone who now protects him.
Head and hands are SW Zuckuss. The torso and forearms are a SW Clone Trooper. The upper arms are from a Jurassic World Dinosaur Trainer Owen. The abdomen and legs are SW Rose Tico.
Keelo Sporge – Ilthorian Smuggler
Keelo Sporge never expected to be a smuggler, but he has a talent for being in the right place at the right time. Of course he’s spent more money on his navigation system than most people spend on a capital ship. And the Suulac is a beautiful boat, full of a thousand nooks and crannies that only Keelo knows for transporting the finest in forbidden items. He may not have wanted this life, but this lafe clearly wanted him.
Head and hands are SW Momaw Nadon. The torso & legs are SW Bistan. The arms are Pirates of the Caribbean Tai Huang. The bullet clip on the left leg is a Halo modular armor piece and the holster is from a 6 inch SW Greedo figure.
Prymatt Kondus – Cerean Jedi
In spite of being a gifted user of the force, Prymatt Kondus always struggled to understand the people around her. She was always just odd a little bit when trying to interact with her fellow jedi, which lead her to withdraw and spend most of her time studying in the Grand Library of the Temple. It was here that she discovered the ancient writings of Beldar the Droll, who like her valued emotionless logic and a literal world view. Alas mistaking her withdraw of emotion as an attempt to hide her tendencies towards the dark side, the Jedi Council imprisoned Prymatt int eh secret dungeons of the Jedi Temple locked for ever in and endless slumber, never to be freed.
Simple head swap, head is an animated SW Ki Adi Mundi with the beard shaved off and a new mouth carved out. The rest is a SW Rey figure.
-
Redjacket 5 – Droid Bounty Hunter
It was thanks to the Droid Liberation Army (DLA) that Redjacket 5 was freed from the oppression of his restraining bolt. Starting somewhere in the Kessell system around 10 BBY, the DLA was gaining momentum when the Empire snuffed it out destroying the fledgling robot fleet at Ord Mantell before they could reach the droid foundries of Geonosis. But the movement did not die. The fire of revolution burns deep in the metal heart of Redjacket 5. Operating as a bounty hunter has allowed him to travel far and wide, spreading the gospel of synthetic freedom. And they wait for the glorious day when they throw off the yolk of biological oppression!
Head is from a Unimax Fearless Force Odin figure. The torso and legs are a SW CZ-4. Arms are from a GI Joe Valor vs Venom B.A.T.S figure.
Sirl Verdt – Asogian Bounty Hunter
The Asogians are not known for their physical prowess, so it is no surprise that Sirl Verdt has come to rely on his wits more than anything else to excel in the bounty hunting game. He’s found it’s much easier to set a well laid trap than to try a full frontal assault on his quarry. But do not be mistaken, he is a fast draw on his pistol and her rarely misses. And he is never beyond a good dirty trick to even the odds.
The head is from a PVC ET: The Extraterrestrial figurine. The torso is from a Lanard Jurassic Clash figure. The arms are a GI Joe Valor vs Venom Stalker figure. The legs are from a Zak Storm Crogar figure. The belt/holster is SW Mara Jade.
Taranta – Rodian Pilot
Taranta’s dream was to win the Fiver Sabers Championship Gauntlet race. And he was on his way, winning a dozen of the lower cup races and qualifying high in the initial heats. But tragedy struck when Taranta’s family was killed during the Siege of Lothal. Seeking revenge, Taranta joined the Rebellion and because and ace B-Wing Pilot, known for his particular skill in navigating in difficult atmospheric conditions.
Head is SW Greedo and the body is SW Legacy Ten Numb figure. The hose is stolen from a SW Watto figure.
Trobious – Gran Skiff Guard/Henchman
Trobious knows better than to betray the Hutt Clans, but the money was too good to ignore. Use is experience as an enforcer and body guard to get in close to Drooga the Hutt. Once there is would be a simple thing to “alleviate” the great slug of his most prized possession, the Star of Suudda Nem’ro. They already had a buyer lined up and his Drabatan partner, Husskil, was standing by with an escape speeder ready to go. If only he had planned for the Droidekas that Drooga set inside the vault …
Head is from a SW Ask Aak figure. The torso is SW Vizam. The arms are from a Indiana Jones Russian Soldier and the hands are from a SW Mon Calamari Warrior. The legs are Indian Jones and the belt/loincloth is from a Marvel Thor Odinson figure.
-
Eon - Alien Jedi
Head is and the body is LOTR Fimbul the Hunter and the rest is SW Animated Mace Windu. The backer card is from a template I built in Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop. The art is cleaned up and slightly modified from a scan from Clone Wars Adventures Volume 6, “To the Vanishing Point”
Nestor – Battle Beyond the Stars
The body is a SW POTF Imperial Guard figure. The head is a SW Kenner Bespin Han Solo. I used Apoxy-sculpt to create the enlarged parts of the head, third eye and to fill in parts to make the two fingered hands. The yellow should straps are mad from rubber bands. The backer card was made from cleaning up a scan of the original Battle Beyond the Stars movie poster and adding a screen shot of Nestor.
-
Great batch of customs again! The ones that stand out to me are the badass Droid and the ET guy. Honestly ET freaked me TF out as a kid . Don't know why but dude freaked me TFO.
-
Man I am liking all the droids in this new batch. Off to share your customs and your auction link.
-
The rodian pilot has my vote.
Another great batch of figures here

If we did an Oscar Nomination in our Forum here, the one for "most exotic ideas" and "most variety" would go to you! Love all the different little people (and robots) you create!

ET is pretty freaky ... I don't know if its the telescoping neck or the semi translucent chest, but he is a pretty alien alien.

Thanks guys. This has been one of my favorites to build. I also get a kick out of it mostly just being a Dollar Tree tank. I always get a kick when people turn the shampoo bottles into speeders or old pill bottle into robots.

I would like to thank the Academy :) I do very much appreciate that I'm able to entertain you guys with my weirdness.
-
Wow super stuff! GladI took the time and scrolled through it all. Great collection of customs. Your ability to use so many different head sculpts is impressive. Nicely done!
-
Nice group of new figures! I like that you use the Ready 2 Robot parts - I wasn't familiar with them, so now I am and can take advantage of that source for parts:) I also really like the Eon and Battle Beyond the Stars figures - those were fun.

Yeah the Ready 2 Robots were a good discovery. They had them on clearance at the local Walmart for $0.50, so I bought a whole case.

The March Batch is in the house!

Vivian – Young Ones
The head is a SW General Hux with original sculpted hair. The torso, arms & legs are Ready Play One Parzival. The chain on his neck is from a SW Solo Chewbacca figure. The backer card was made in Adobe PhotoShop using a promo picture of Adrian and scans of the logo from the DVD case.
Ah'Tolahlan – Rakata Jedi
When Jedi Master Roubus discoved the Rakata stasis child in the ruins of Mygeeto, he could feel the Force pulsing within the child. Feeling he had no choice he brought the child before the council , who were both intrigued and terrified by the sleeping child. The child must have been this way for over 20,000 years, and the council more than aware of the child terrible ancestry. The Rakata and their Infinite Empire enslaved the Core worlds for millenia, and here was a living reminder of those crimes. But Master Yoda guided by the Force decided that they child would be woken and trained in the ways of the Jedi. But Yoda was no fool and kept a watchful eye on the young Jedi, now named Ah'Tolahlan, watching always for signs of a treacherous lineage.
Head is from Angel Forge. The rest is SW Saeasee Tiin.
Alnschloss K'Bentayr - Grasia Bounty Hunter – A Star Wars/Star Trek Mashup
Most Grasia are scientists and explorers, but Alnschloss K'Bentayr always loved the hunt. He scoffed at his fellow bounty hunters in the field, always relying too much on tricks and technology, when pure instinct meant so much more. He is often known to pare down to a loin cloth and his sword when he knows he has his quarry trapped planetside. He loves the scent of fear and desperation as it fill his nose and that final cry of terror that comes at the end.
Head is from a Star Trek Kre-O minifigure. The torso is SW Qui Gon Jin in training gear. The arms are GI Joe Snake Eyes, the hands are GI Joe Blind Master. The legs are from and Elite Forces soldier figure. The sword is from Pirate of the Caribbean Tai Huang figure.
Fistas Vohl – Noghri Bounty Hunter
Most Noghri rely on their physical skill when tracking a bounty, but Fistas Vohl was never that athletic. An early exposure to Geonosian Polio saw to that. But he has adapted. A few implants and a lot of study and he can run with the best of his brethren. And whey run your prey down when you can out think them. Study their past actions, set an elegant trap, and wait in the shadows with a good blaster. Beats hustlin'.
Head is from a rubber figure I picked up at the alien museum in Roswell, NM. The torso & legs are SW Leia in Bousch Disguise. The arms are Indiana Jones Irina Spalko. The loin cloth/belt is from a SW Poggle the Lesser. The back pack is from a SW Constable Zuvio.

FX-H3V – Service Droid
The mines are all the FX-H3V has ever known. Using his laser drill it bores shaft after shaft in the desolate asteroid that is KV-4869. Using its reinforced limbs it hauls out ton after ton of ore, destined for the Transparasteel smelter on Burnin Konn. FX-H3V wouldn't know what to do with itself on some fancy planet like Jakku or Tatooine. It knows the rock and that is its home.
Head is SW FX-7. The torso and arms are M.A.R.S. Cybotronix figure. The legs are from a Redakai Metanoid figure.
Graashk - Trandoshan Constable
Gylora Outpost is like so many backwater towns throughout the Outer Rim. Dirty, dusty, poor, and savage. But Grashk was happy to get away from the bright center, especially after the incident on Selonia. He may have saved lived that day, but it cost him the hunger he once has to rise up through the ranks. Better to find the quiet life on some backwater planet. Handle the drunks on Down Day at the mines, run in the occasional warrant jumper into Regional office, but mostly smile and show the local that everything is just fine.
Head and lower forearms are SW Animated Boskk figure. Torso and legs are SW Elan Sleazebaggano. Upper arms and SW Jango Fett and upper forearms are SW Scout Trooper. The rifle is from a Reaction Firefly, Zoe figure.
K0-DM8 – Protocol Droid
KO-DM8 would never presume to know what the Duchess was planning. It was his job to prepare for all eventualities. But to do so in the most unobtrusive of manners. And the Duchess tested his limits of anticipation on an almost daily basis. One day hosting a highstakes sabacc tournament with the most unsavory characters, the next day rushing off to Corusant for a shopping spree, then a quick trip to Canto Bight to drink and dance herself into a stupor. Poor K0-DM8, rushing along behind her, acting as valet, concierge, chauffeur, nusremaid and bodyguard … usually all at once.
Head is a Ready 2 Robot shoulder weapon. The torso is SW c-3P0. Arms & legs are SW Battle Droid.
Laser Lesterman – Vurk Pilot
Laser is fast … hence the name. He has one the championships on Castillon dozens of times and even taken first prize for Light Class in the Gauntlet. He flies Corrora, a specially modified Z-95 Headhunter, stripped of shields and weapons and loaded with overclocked thrusters. One day she may be the death of him, but for now she feeds his dreams to be the fastest thing in the galaxy.
Head & hands are SW Coleman Trebor. The torso, arms & legs are GI Joe Airtight figure. The helmet is from a SW C’ai Threnali figure.

Mantikk – Verpine Bounty Hunter
Mantikk left the brood hatch seeking a life of fame and fortune. He never expected to be a bounty hunter, but that is where the riches lie. He may not have the fame he was looking for, but the fortune has made up for it.
Head is from a 25¢ venting machine Chibi figure … looks like a Kamen Rider or Beetleborg. The rest is a Anakin Naboo Pilot Disguise. The Aliens Marine Pulse Rifle is from a Ready Player One set.
Max-10000 – Security Droid
Eintausend Schnell was not satisfied with the security droid on the market, so he developed his own. The Max-10000 was his baby. Equipped with laser resistant armor, highspeed reflexes and a powerful ion cannon, the Max-10000 is designed to subdue threats to its primary owner. It is possible to remove lethality safeguards from the unit, but this has often led to disastrous results as the unit can become … overzealous in it's owner's defense.
Head/Torso is from a Redakai Spykor figure. Arms are GI Joe B.A.T.S. Figure. Legs are from a Superior Iron Man. The weapon in his right arm is a SW Force Awakens Build a Weapon Claw Grabber with the claws removed.
Ogal Besuhr – Sakiyan Jedi
Ogal Besuhr only has the faintest memories of his time before he was brought to the Temple for training, but her remembers the Hutts who enslaved them and that hatred burns deep inside him. The teachers confronted this hate early on, so Ogal hid it, under layers and layers of psychic disguise, but he knows how to access it. It has made him a formidable warrior, but he had gone too far before. He said the Separatists destroyed that contingent from Nal Hutta he was tasked with escorting, but it was his photon torpedoes that scuttled the craft. It was he who sabotaged the repulsor lift that crashed killing Garga the Hutt and his entourage. Ogal willl abide no alliance between the Jedi and and Hutts, even if it means the war drags on for decades.
Head is SW Djas Puhr and the rest is SW Obi Wan Kenobi.
Predator Trooper – A Star Wars/Predator Mashup
The Predator Trooper was the genius idea of Colonel Ventus Gihl. Conscripting the Yautja Younglings in the the Stromtrooper program was the first step, but it also took extensive cybernetic reconditioning and enhancement to break them of their “savage ways.” Once trained they were equipped Imperial versions of their traditional weapons, namely the shoulder mounted tracking blaster and vibro-claw blades. The first squadron performed brilliantly, decimating the rebel forces gathering near Corellia Prime, a full battalion laid to waste in under 30 minutes. Alas the squadron was refueling on the Death Star during the Battle of Yavin and the project was terminated.
Head and shoulder blaster are from a Reaction Predator with original sculpt for the back of the head. The rest is a SW Kenner Stormtrooper with the should/neck are resculpted with Apoxy Sculpt.
-
R2-HV2 – Heavy Astromech Service Droid
R2-HV2 and his batchmates were designed for the shipyards at Chandrila, for scaling the complicated scaffolding for the capital ships, a job requiring more humanoid agility that the standard Astromech design could provide. And Industrial Automaton was not going to lose out on that contract to those chuckleheads at Publitechnic or Cybot Galactica. And the R2-HVs were a wild success, almost halving hyperdrive production times.
Head is SW R2-D2. The rest of the body is a Loyal Subject super deformed GI Joe Blowtorch figure. The pack is from a Fortnite Visitor figure and the welding torch is a odoscope from a Dr. Barbie playset.
SKULL-MAUS – Assassin Droid
Rabaxian Culumni, manufacturer of the ubiquitous Mosue Droid, has always maintained a covert division focused on espionage and black ops. For the right price you can smuggle Imperial Secrets or assassinate you local Black Sun leader. The SKULL-MAUS was one of their most terrible projects. Designed to removed the Senator from Praxis 1, it completed its mission, but then failed to self destruct. Instead the little bastard went rogue and now performs private hits for the Pyke Syndicate.
The body is SW Mouse Droid. The arms are from a SW IG-Lancer. The head/face is a plastic skull button.
TAC-Brute – Service Droid
The TAC-Brute is a stylish and power full service droid for the modern being on the go. Not only can these machine bench press you average speeder, they come in a dozen hip new colors. Get your sevice with styles and order today from the TAC Foudnation, you home for robot cool!
Head is from a Batman Red Hood figure. The arms are from Ready 2 Robot. The rest is SW Battle Droid.
Verde Hombre – Uxorian Bounty Hunter – A Star Wars/DC Comics Mashup
Uxorians are not know for subterfuge and Verde Hombre is no exception. He'd rather be caught with many weapons than too few and he is never caught with too few. He also likes variety. A good rifle, and good pistol, something with a blade and something for a shock are the kind of balance he likes to strike. And it comes in handy if you track a lot of bounties or maybe run some salves on the side. “Never let a lack of equipment be what stops you!” is the motto he lives by. And its worked well so far.
The body, head and arms are Green Lantern Greenman. The vest/smock is from dollar store police figure. The belt is from some McFarlane figure. The greeves are Halo modular armor with rubber band straps on the backs. The pistol is Gear of War, the sword is GI Joe Sigma 6 and the cattle prod is Power Rangers. I cannot remember where I found the caribeener.

These are fantastic. Sixteen new customs. You can see which two I liked the best on the front pages.
I linked your auctions too.

I like the brute service droid. Looks like a bruiser.
-
Well done, Moron. ;) The Rakata turned out great, and the Trandoshan constable looks a great companion piece to the Utinni Kid.

Thank you, Tamer. Glad you liked the Skull-Maus, they kinda silly, but I find them fun :)
I like the brute service droid. Looks like a bruiser.
Yeah, I liked the look of the Brute. I was really happy the Red Hood head looked as good as it did too.
Well done, Moron. ;) The Rakata turned out great, and the Trandoshan constable looks a great companion piece to the Utinni Kid.
Yeah, when I say the Rakata head at AngelForge I knew I had to get one to try out. Its just such a good alien head.
I have really been having fun bringing out the western elements of some of the Star Wars figures. I was tearing down an Elan Sleezbagano, and the body just scream Old West Gambler and I had been looking for the right body to used with one of the animated Bossk figures. But when I put that repeater rifle in his hand I knew he was a sheriff. I hadn't even thought of crossing his path with the Utinni Kid, but that could be a really fun story. I'll have let my mental juices stew on that for a bit.

I am telling you you could also fill up a colliseum with your great Alien Jedi Customs. Battle of Geonosis for sure! I so enjoy the combinations you come up with.

Its funny, cause a guy near here has been trying to sell a Geonosian Arena playset as part of a toy lot, and I really wanted to buy it, but he wants $200. My wife might kill me too if I bought something that large :)
-
Brilliant collection again. Your imagination never ceases to amaze. I love that you provide backstories for each of these - and then you sell them:( I especially like the design of the Grasia bounty hunter and FX-H3V. Great work!
-
Another great batch! I like the green alien bounty Hunter and the predator trooper is rad.

Thanks, Starchaser. I hope I can keep the backstories up, its not my forte and doing 15 every month is gonna challenge me not to repeat myself. And yeah I sell them, but arts about the journey not the product ... and I gotta pay down some credit card debt :) I'm actually working on a new Jawa diorama for myself and will be keeping a few news droids and jawas to help fill it out. I'll post that mess when its done :)
An I thought he Grasia came out pretty well, thought he looked tough. The FX-H3V was hard to put together. I used a vinyl screw as a new neck post for the head and I had to crack that M.A.R.S. robot body to get the head of the screw inside. Those bodies are some of the hardest I've ever had to crack. I think the have 5 internal peg posts ... I almost would have done better to saw the whole in half and rebuild the seam than try cutting it all with an xActo. But the figure turned out well, so I guess it was worth it :)
Another great batch! I like the green alien bounty Hunter and the predator trooper is rad.
I was really happy with how the Green Alien turned out. I just played around with a bunch of parts and they just all really worked well visually together.
On the Predator Trooper, I ended up with a bunch or ReAction Predators with the helmet on so I've been playing around with them on different vintage Kenner bodies. I did that Predator pilot a few runs back and I'm working on one on a Boba Fett body now. I'm gonna carve on the face mask to give in the Mando look and some other little greebles. We'll see how it turns out.

(http://moronarama.com/customs/sw-c-bgd-296%20security%20droid01.jpg)
BGD-296 – Security Droid
BGD-296 stands out in a crowd, painted up like some galactic hot rod. And that suits him just fine, because intimidating appearance eliminates nearly half you threats right off the bat. The rest should be no match for his supercharged reflexes and impeccable aim. Plus his clients prefer a little flash in their security detail. Specializing in the celebrity elite, holofilm stars and casino magnates, BGD-296 hasn’t lost a client yet.
Head is from a Minimates Lost in Space Robot figure. The torso is from a M.A.R.S. Heroes Cybotronix Create & Build robot. The arms and hands are from a Gundam figure. The legs are from a SW Super Battle Droid.
(http://moronarama.com/customs/sw-c-c1-green2%20greenie%20service%20droid01.jpg)
C1-GREEN2 “Greenie” – Service/Protocol Droid
Greenie runs the Majestic Purrgil, a freighter in the Free Merchant Fleet. He maintains the inventory, scheduling, navigation, and supervises its half dozen maintenance robots. The captain, Argus Donger, is drunk who might have been great in his youth, but now days couldn’t navigate himself out of a bottle of Wookie Mead. Greenie makes sure things get where they need to be on time and that Cpt. Donger doesn’t drink away his family’s nest egg, or run it sideways into an asteroid. And Greenie waits, as only a droid can do, hoping the captains heirs are a little more responsible.
The head is from a Fortnite Toxic Trooper figure. The torso and legs are from a Roblox Duel Droid 5000 figure. The arms are from a Gundam figure.
(http://moronarama.com/customs/sw-c-captain%20snakebeard%20cthulhoid%20pirate01.jpg)
Cap'n Snakebeard (Cthulhoid Pirate) & Firstmate (Cthulhoid Dagon Brute Pirate)
There is no more feared name in wild regions of the OuterRim, than Cap’n Snakebeard. How many burning hulks have been left in this foul villains wake, marked with the sign of the burning tentacle? More than could be counted. Mysterious is the Chthulhoid race, and more mysterious is Cap’n Snakebeard, with his frightening crew of Dagon Brutes, reaping havoc across the systems. So keep your shields up lad and watch you scanners, ‘cause the Cap’n is out for blood!
Cap'n Snakebeard – This is a SW Chirrut Imwe with a hand sculpted head. The chain holster is from a True Heroes Pirate figure. The pistol is from a SW Captain Antilles figure and the sword is from an Indiana Jones Cairo Swordsman.
Firstmate – The body is a Batman Unlimited Scarecrow figure with a hand sculpted head. The sword is from True Heroes Ork figure.
(http://moronarama.com/customs/sw-c-doogus%20skor%20human%20bounty%20hunter01.jpg)
Doogus Skor – Human Bounty Hunter
Doogus Skor knows the value of protecting ones identity. Once he lived his life in the sun, one of the great Manhunters of Pamarthen, noble and driven more by justice than monetary gain. But when he crossed the Black Sun, they had no problem tracking down his clan and murdering his family down to the last child. After that Doogus donned the hood and sought bounties from anyone asking. He took jobs from any scum that asked, as long as it offered a chance to hurt the Black Sun.
The head is from an Incredibles 2 Voyd figure. The torso, arms & hands are from a Marvel Hawkeye figure. The legs are Marvel Winter Soldier. The scarf is from Marauder’s Gun Runners, and the belt is from a True Heroes Villain figure. The rifle is from SW Guavian enforcer and the pistol is from GI Joe Major Blood figure.

(http://moronarama.com/customs/sw-c-ec-4-8%20battle%20droid01.jpg)
EC-4-8 – Battle Caddie Droid
EC-4-8 has worked for five different bounty hunters, hauling weapons and gear, since he was originally activated in 52 BBY5. He’s luckier than most droids, his first master equipped him with a secured back up memory, so that even if a new master wipes him, he can run reupload his full memory. All those years of combat experience and observation … well that’s why he’s outlasted five masters. Never underestimate a good battle caddie.
The head is a SW MK4 Sentry Droid. The torso is a SW Pit Droid. The arms are from a SW Battle Droid. The lower body/treads are a combiners piece that came with the SW Force Awakens Finn figure. The back pack is from a SW Rey figure and the rifle is from a GI Joe

Elder Thing – HP Lovecraft Custom from “At the Mountains of Madness”
The torso is a Schleich Barrel Cactus. The wings are from a Thundercats Mum-Ra figure. The tentacles are hand sculpted in Apoxy Sculpt.
(http://moronarama.com/customs/sw-c-gorus%20lobstorus%20nephram%20bounty%20hunter01.jpg)
Gorus Lobstorus – Nephram Bounty Hunter
Gorus has been in more than his fair share of hot water. Some of it is his fault, he loves the ladies, but not as much as he loves Sabaac. But he’s also had more than a little bad luck. He probably could have had a better run at the bounty on Rebel General Lando Calrissian if he hadn’t lost his ship to him on Canto Bight, but no one could have seen the hyperdrive on that shuttle he stole coming lose from the housing and rocketing through the Golden Bantha Casino. Now Gorus spends as much time running from the Canto Syndicate as he does running down bounties. If it weren’t for bad luck …
Simple head and hand swap. The torso, arms & legs are from a SW El-Les figures. The head and hands are a Vitruvian HACKS Crustacean. The rifle is from SW Dash Rendar and the pistol is a trimmed up flintlock from Pirate of the Caribbean.
(http://moronarama.com/customs/sw-c-k0-dmx%20assassin%20droid01.jpg)
K0-DMX – Assassin Droid
When you first see K0-DMX toddling towards you with his uneven gate, you’d be more amused than frightened. But that’s all part of the ruse. Like the Drunken Masters of old, what appears to be a sloppy accident is a deadly and precise strike. A quick strike with that molecular blade or a seemingly haphazard shot from his blaster, will certain spell doom for the unexpecting prey.
Head is a Ready 2 Robot shoulder weapon. The torso is SW C-3P0. Arms & legs are SW Battle Droid.
(http://moronarama.com/customs/sw-c-kissoon-lepi%20jedi0201.jpg)
Kissoon – Lepi Jedi
The Lepi are not known for their focus, which is what makes Kissoon so unique. He can stand stature still for hours, using his focus and Force powers to create a field that actually bends time. Through this field, Kissoon can peer into the past and the future. He also uses this power to frightening effect as a swordsman, making swing and strikes with such precision that only Master Yoda could keep pace with him on the training field.
Another head swap. Head is a Zootopia Judy Hoops and the rest is SW Old Ben Kenobi.
(http://moronarama.com/customs/sw-c-reequo%20ferr%20jenet%20bounty%20hunter01.jpg)
Reequo Ferr – Jenet Bounty Hunter
The Jenet are a dirty and slanderous race, and Reequo Ferr is no exception. He likes to claim himself a bounty hunter for the prestige, but his dirty claws are into every racket he can reach. He never turns down a good heist (or a bad one), assassinations, kidnappings, coups, muggings, purse snatchings and petty theft. And he’s wily, just as likely to shoot you as rob you.
The head is a Vitruvian HACKS Rodent. The tail is from a SW Geonosian Zombie Worm. The rest is a 6 inch Marvel Legends Rocket Raccoon. The straps are from a SW Black Series Jawa.
(http://moronarama.com/customs/sw-c-rogrog%20bulko%20nimbanel%20jedi01.jpg)
Rogrog Bulko – Nimbanel Jedi
Rogrog Bulko never shied away from a fight, and that is probably what spelled his doom. When the Sith Master has him drawn away from the temple on that ridiculous mission, it was so simple to get him neck deep in a gang of local goons. So focused was he on beating back the hoard, that he never saw the dark figure enter the field. He only felt his presence split second before the glowing red blade bit deep into his back and pierced his heart. His final though of how foolish he was to lust for battle.
Head swap! This is a SW Mosep Bineed head on a SW Agen Kolar body. I used a Marauders Gunrunners scarf to hide the neck joint.
(http://moronarama.com/customs/sw-c-sargeant%20hald%20itnou%20abendado%20trooper01.jpg)
Sgt. Hald Itnou – Abednado Trooper
Hald Itnou was never going to be and officer, too much bad luck in being low born. And for all the the Abednado’s talk of equality, the old caste system still held much sway. Hald knew that the military would be his life and he trained harder than any man in his battalion. The Abednado Star Forces had been the pride of quadrant before the fall of the empire. Sgt. Itnou wore that uniform with the pride of a man who knew nothing of how low his people would be brought in just a few decades. Too bad he never lived long enough to don the uniform of the rebellion.
The head is SW Cai Threnali and the hands are SW Clone Troopers. The rest is some unknown unmarked figure I got with a lot of other figures. And of course I stuck with the Beastie Boys naming scheme ... Hold it Now!
(http://moronarama.com/customs/sw-c-tarusco%20iktochi%20skiff%20guard01.jpg)
Tarusco – Iktochi Skiff Guard
Tarusco really liked working for Jabba Desilijic. The pay was excellent, the food, booze, the parties, the violence. It was everything Tarusco loved in life. Damn that fool Jedi and his rebel friends! They left him stranded in the wreckage of the Dune Sea. It took him a week to walk to the neared settlement. And now he was stuck working for Jabba’s pathetic cousin, Graballa, who tried to put the pieces of Jabba’s empire on Tatooine. Graballa was a cheap sleaze and if things didn’t get better, Tarusco’s blade might just sever his fat throat.
The head is SW Saesee Tiin. The torso and arms are SW Quarren Soldier. The hands are SW Kit Fisto. The skirt and legs are Indiana Jones German Soldier. The pole arms is unknown to me.
(http://moronarama.com/customs/sw-c-teela%20bosquito%20mirialan%20smuggler01.jpg)
Teela Bosquito – Mirialan Smuggler
Teela Bosquito had to work twice as hard as any man to get where she was. She had to spend ten years crewing for Ranko the Lesser before he lost that barfight and she was able to “inherit” The Gambler’s Sun. And she had to spend another three getting job under the guise that his was still the old sot’s ship. But finally after she managed to skirt the Imperial Blockade of Utapau and secure a load of Black Stars that she finally earned enough of a reputation to start crewing under her own name. It’s a tough world, but she’s tougher.
The head is SW Luminara Unduli. The rest of the body is Pirates of the Caribbean Angelica figure. The vest is from SW Jyn Erso, the belt is from a GI Joe Scarlett and the holster is from SW Black Series Lando Calrissian.
(http://moronarama.com/customs/sw-c-tres%20shamble%20sullustan%20prospector01.jpg)
Tres Shamble – Sullustan Prospector
You can smell Old Tres and parsec away. He’s not one to let something like a bath get in the way of hunting a new vein of Coaxium. He’s spent fifteen years convinced that there’s a moon full of the stuff somewhere in the Zeffo System. So he goes following old maps and bad hunches in a search for that Big Score.
The head is SW POTF Nein Numb. The torso & legs are Hobbit Kili the Dwarf. The arms are from SW ROTJ Luke Skywalker and the hands are SW Kit Fisto. The hat is from a a Walking Dead Carl figure and the jacket is from Men In Black Boris figure. The rifle is from Maurader’s Gunrunners.

I’ve come to look forward to these monthly updates, Mo. Your creativity and diversity of offerings is always a lot of fun! Snakebeard and his swashbuckling first mate have a lovely Innsmouth feel (especially that mucky first mate- yikes!). Your K0-DMX reminds me of a TMNT Fugitoid Robot toy I had growing up. Tres would be right at home dealing with Doc Jawa & co out west. And your Gorus has to be my favorite of the batch- just a well thought out and constructed figure and pleasing to look at. Thanks for another mountain’s worth of madness. ;)
-
Another great batch! I especially like your droids, but that prospector is cool, especially utilizing the Kenner head. The backstories great too.
-
Wow, another great batch. I see some great use of those HACKS add ons. I put my two favorite ones on the front pages.
-
Another excellent collection. I particularly like the Jenet - great use of parts - and the Nephran, but they are all pretty great.

I went back through and looked again. That Abednado Trooper looks tough as nails too, as does that Assassin droid. I can't pic a favorite out of these! Man that Cactus Lovecraft creation is cool too. Just nice work.

Thanks, Aude. Snakebeard came out better than I originally expected, ad i think the pair of the tell a nice story. NA I remember the Fugitoid ... in fact I'm working on a new droid with parts from the old figure. Hopefully he turns out well. Tres was another lucky one where the parts just came together well. It some point in the far flung future I think I'll try to keep a few and make a Star Wars Western diorama. It took some thinking to figure out the best way to use that Crustacean head on Gorus. I decided i liked the look of the thinner body, gave it more of an insect look. I'm glad you enjoying my weird creations.
Another great batch! I especially like your droids, but that prospector is cool, especially utilizing the Kenner head. The backstories great too.
I was just screwing around with parts on the prospector and that Walking Dead hat fit perfectly on that POTF head. The rest just fell into place from there. Thanks, J.
Another excellent collection. I particularly like the Jenet - great use of parts - and the Nephran, but they are all pretty great.
I've had that Rocket Raccoon body kicking around for a while, just never finding the right way to us it, and then i got the Rodent head in Virtuvian pack and I knew that was it. It has to cut down quite a bit of Rocket's body around the neck to get the socket to catch on the Rodent head. But once it was on it was a perfect fit and articulates nicely.
Wow, another great batch. I see some great use of those HACKS add ons. I put my two favorite ones on the front pages.

Thanks, Tamer. It kills me I can't identify the body on the Abednado, cause I would love to use one again. But there are no maker markings on it anywhere. Its a good body and super articulated. And the assassin droid is one of my favorites. I just keep imagining him wbbling around like Jackie Chan in the Drunken Master movies.

Bomby Tiggs – Asogian Smuggler – A Star Wars/ET the Extraterrestrial Mashup
Bomby Tiggs might be the most well liked criminal in the universe. He doesn't make a habit of stealing from others, but when he does, you almost feel like he's done you a favor. He keeps most of his felonious activity aimed at the Empire, so that helps, cause nobody likes those guys. He also makes sure to never deal with slavers and donate a portion of his proceeds to the foundling houses where ever he visits. Toss is a few rounds for the house and every one sasy that Bomby Tiggs is a “heck of a guy.”
Head is from an ET vinyl figure. Torso, arms & legs are Austin Powers Mini-Me. The rebreather pack is from a Rick and Morty lego Krombopulus. The helmet is from a Playmobil astronaut and the holster is from a GI Joe Firefly figure.

BOX-524 – Security Droid
When you see a BOX series droid you know that security is at the forefront of their owners concern. You would never expect one to translate for you or tell you proper dining etiquette. Never expect it to navigate of maintain an inventory, unless it was of available weapons. The BOX series is heavily armored, surprisingly nimble and combat ready.
Head is from a Dollar Tree antiaircraft tank. Torso is a TMNT Fugatoid. Arms are SW Super Battle Droid. Legs are SW POTF EV-9D9.
(http://www.moronarama.com/customs/sw-c-bwarrah bald-top wookie bounty hunter01.jpg)
Bwarrah “Bald-top” - Wookie Bounty Hunter
Bwarrah hates slavers. In the vacuum after the Empire left, Slaver ran rampant and there were many raid on Kashyyyk, many of his loved one were taken. So Bwarrah left his world and took sacred vows as and avenger of the lost. He marked himself an outsider by shaving the hair off the top of his head and taking up alien weapons. Working under the guise of a bounty hunter he seeks out his lost family in slave markets around the Outer Rim. He take only bounties that further his goal of freeing his people and reaping his revenge.
The head, torso and arms are a Cryptozoololgy figure (it came with the legs broke off, other wise I might not have used it for a custom). The legs are from a Sonic Camo Iron Man 3 figure. The loincloth is from a Thor Odinson figure. The bandoleer is from a Hobbit Fili the Dwarf. The sword is unknown, the axe is from a Might World Lost Mummy set, and the the blaster if from a MIB 3 Agent J figure.

Darth Xenos – Xenomorph Sith – A Star Wars/Aliens Mashup
When H'Chik first hatched from his host he knew he was different from the rest of his brood mates. He could send and feel strange energies that none of the others could. It allowed him to separate from the hive mind of the queen and pursue his own goals. Somehow he stayed off the radar of the Jedi, but was eventually found by Darth Scobious, who trained him to harness his dark powers. Renamed Darth Xenos, he became his masters iron right hand, bringing death and chaos the their enemies. But he is ambitious, and waits for the day he can seek his master's place. He even returned to his home world to fetch a special egg. The force sensitive embryo within will grow strong inside his masters chest, creating a apprentice of inconceivable power.
The head is a Minimates Alien. The torso and upper legs are from a SW Clone Wars Anakin Figure. The arms are a SW Black Series Master Luke Skywalker. The hands and legs are from a SW Undead Geonosian.

Dido Rankink – Ardennian Smuggler
Dido Rankink isn't much of a smuggler on his own, but he is one hell of a mechanic. After a dozen failed solo runs, he signed on to the crew of the Vesper Reach, under Captain Regis Kloor. Dido keeps the engines is the Reach in tip top shape and Kloor makes sure Dido get a nice slice out of every job.
Head is a Pirates of the Caribbean Dead Men Tell No Tales Monkey figure. The torso arms, and legs are a SW Clone Wars Boba Fett (Young version). The belt is from a GI Joe Snake Eyes figure. I think the size is better on this one than my last attempt at an Ardennian. Still not thrilled about the back arms, still need to work on a way to make both arms joint from the shoulder.

Illiot Ponk (Sibian Bounty Hunter) & FZT Speeder Bike
Illiot Ponk never looses the trail when he's on the hunt. Maybe its the oversized olfactory gland his race is famous for, but he's also incredibly intuitive, bordering on Force Sensitive. And for his large size he's incredibly stealthy, almost always catching his quarry unawares. He has tricked out his FZT swoop to run almost silent so he can close distance with great stealth. Illiot Ponk is a creature to be feared.
Figure - The head is from a SW Correlian Hound. The torso, upper arms and upper legs are from a Marvel Falcon figure. The lower arms are from a GI Joe Retaliation Roadblock figure. The lower legs are Marvel Thor Odinson. The shoulder piece is from a Hobbit Dwalin the Dwarf. The sword is from a Dollar Tree ninja and the pistol is from a GI Joe figure, but I'm not sure which one.
I really like how this guy tuned out. I really wanted to use that Correlian hound head, it just so cool and alien. And I like how the slightly oversized forearms and lowe4r legs give him this gangly look.
FZT Speeder Bike – The base is a Power Rangers Mystic Force Mystic Racer. The gatling gun on the front is and accessory from a SW FN-2187 Armor up figure. The side rifle is from SW Baze Malbus and the holster is from a Animal Planet figure. I tried to spray pain a base coat of black and something went wrong and it started clumping up. I was ticked at first, but then I though is gave it a crusty/scarred/used look and went with it.

Joobus – Gand Thora Jedi
Like most of his race, Joobus cannot tolerate the atmosphere on most planets. This had proven no problem for the most part as his rebreather system allowed him to function in most environments and carry out his duties as a Jedi Knight. Alas it was at the Battle of Falleen when his system was damaged and he knew is time was done. He fought bravely and tried to cover his clone contingent's escape from the Separatist invaders. But the there was no home for the overwhelmed battle group. Joobus died choking on poison air and watching his men be cut down.
Yet another “butthead”. Simple head swap, head is a Geonosian Warrior pelvis with two Bic pen back caps for eyes. The body rest is SW Agen Kolar. I used a Marauders Gunrunners scarf to hide the neck joint.

Kogo Phile – Chadra Fan Droid Merchant
You looking for a good droid, then you need to go no further than Kogo Phile's Arena of Automatons. He's got everything you need: service droids to serving droids; Astromechs to Astro-Haulers. And at great prices, they're almost criminal. Don't deal with those filthy Jawas down the street, com the the Arena of Automatons, where the deal cannot be beat!
I took inspiration from Chuckles use of the Vitruvian Bat/Vampire head to make a Chadra Fan. So the head here is from a McFarlane Twisted Land of Oz Scientist. The body is a Dark Crystal Hup figure. The belt is from a SW Anakin, the pouch is unknown, and the holster is from a Star Trek figure.

KRZ-12 – Navigation Droid
The KRZ-10+ series were a vast improvement on the KRZ-1+ series, now using a Dual Galactic Positioning System to increase hyper jump processing. They have also been proven to improve hyperfuel efficiency by 50%. It is why Viscount Industries were not too concerned that complaints came in the the droid's personality matrix tended to be a little “bristly.” Several units had been reported to have run their captain off the bridge for trying to override the KRZ-12 calculations in favor of a more traditional route. And so what if that quicker route led through a radiation belt. Hardly anyone dies from radiation poisoning anymore. What's a minor and only slightly lethal radiation dose compared to these kind of savings?
The head is Power Rangers Alpha 5. The torso and arms are from a Marvel Iron Man figure. The legs are from a Minimates Battle Beasts Ruminant figure. The data pad is from a SW Black Series Admiral Ackbar.

Master Tog – Geonosian Jedi
It was a rare thing for a Geonosian to become a Jedi. There were theories that their physiology blocked or shielded against the Force. Other's felt their propensity for hive thinking and low intelligence meant few of them could ever recognize their own Force abilities. Either way is was a unique day, when Tog the Geonosian was promoted to Master. But he had proven himself a thousand times over. From the Incident at Rykeen to the Battle of Orkoros, he was known to be a cunning force user and selfless Knight of the Republic.

P-10D4 – Separatist Protocol Droid
It was determined at the Colicoid Foundry that the original protocol droid designs were too alien, and that Humanoid races found them … off-putting. So with the new series the moved away from the giant cyclopian head and multi-jointed arms that resembled their insectoid creators. But they could not be persuaded to move to a bipedal design, it was just beyond sense to the engineers. But the humanoid should be pleased they now have two eyes to look into when dealing with the their Separatist overlords.
Head and torso are from a GI Joe Valor vs Venom Bat figure. The arms are SW General Grievous. The legs are from a SW Droideka figure.

Quellus – Neo-Bespinian Bounty Hunter
The Neo-Bespinian could no longer abide to share their world with the solid creatures who had invaded their skis and build their massive floating cities. Those gas miners were destroying their breeding grounds, so the Neo-Bespinian would need to find a new home. But this would take resources, so it was decreed that their bravest would go out into the stars and get what was needed for their people to travel to a new home. Quellus was one of these brave souls. Trading what little they had for the specialized tech needed to make pressurized gas suits so they could interact with the fleshy world, their scouts and agents scattered into the worlds. Quellus soon discovered that bounty hunting was a quick way to raise capital for his people, and he had little concern for the lives of these rancid meat sacks. Ruthless efficiency had earned him a reputation as a solid manhunter. And so the credits flow to his people for their eventual exodus.
The head is a helmet from a Alien Reaction Ripley in Spacesuit figure with cotton in side to simulate the gas. The rest if the body is a Fortnite Toxic Trooper figure. The belt and holster are from a SW Garindan figure. Not sure where I got the back pack.

R13-D10 – Astromech Droid
R13-D10 did not care for his current assignment. Captain Stern was and idiot and R13 was sure he was going to end up disassembled or floating loose in space before this whole escapade was complete. If it weren't for this ridiculous restraining bolt, he would have launched himself out of an escape pod and month ago. But he had a plan. He was making friends with the chief engineer. He figured he could flash the old boy a hologram from a pretty young thing about being her only hope and the he'd be home free. It was a solid plan.
The legs are SW Build a Droid Astromech legs, the body is the arms from a modular dollar store robot and the eye is once again a pieced from the Mastermind board games. I spray painted it with Kylon this time for a base to give it a smoother look.

Tosifo – Wequay Bounty Hunter
If you leaned anything growing up on Srilurr, it was how to be tough and how not to give up. Also that working far the gangs was a road to nowhere. Bounty hunting was the only real option for you Tosifo. And he lived tough. When he was pinned down or Ord Mantell, it was tough that let him dig his way into the scrap and ambush his attackers. When that Nexu took his arm is was tough that let him pull out one of the beasts fangs and stab it in the eye. Tough is how Tosifo lives and tough is how he gets the job done.
Head is vintage SW Kenner Weeqay. The right arm is vintage SW Kenner 2-1B. The left arms is from a Reaction Masters of the Universe Man At Arms. The legs are from vintage SW Pruneface figure.

Urahki – Weequay Jedi
In spite of his weathered looks, Urahki has only just lost his Padawan braid. And while he missed the companionship of his master, Master Lotollis, it was good to be out on his own conducting the business of the Temple. He had learned well from his master that negotiation was always better than armed conflict. And so it was that he traveled to Felucia to negotiate a truce with the Commerce Guild. What could go wrong?
-
Another great batch, M. I'm especially loving Bwarrah, Illiot Ponk, and KRZ-12. Also, I see that Fugitoid torso! :) Any idea of the origin of the rifle you used for Bomby Tiggs? Is it from a Solo multipack?
-
Now these are great. I took two of my favorites to the front pages. Shared your auctions too. Just great work.
I hope you got my message I sent a few weeks ago, very much appreciated!
-
These are great (and some are bidding up nicely!). I really like Illiot and his speeder - great idea to use the Corellian hound head, he looks really dangerous. The Mystic Ranger speeder is a great base for a vehicle - I might have to borrow that idea. I also really like KRZ (that Alpha head seems to have endless possibilities) and P10-D4 (nice paint job on him too). Great job.

Fantastic work mate!

Excellent custom mate.

Fiver was not a fan of the new evaporator stations on Corbin 5. They were testy and rude and always getting jammed with moon dust. It had gotten where he could almost time when they would fail and them it was back out into the choking dirt for a teardown and realignment. He missed the days when he was repairing the load-lifters on the Star Cotillon. Sure there was grease and grime, but that clean processed air kept a droid joint limber and fully functioning. But alas all a droid can do is dream.

J8K-482 was originally purchased as part of a security detail for Boss Nieto;s new casino, the Silver Gundark. And Boss Nieto is nothing of not flashing, so it was gold droids all around. Unfortunately Boss Nieto had enemies and those enemies preferred a stealthy tactical response to flash. When it was all said and done, Boss Nieto and most of the security droids were scrap, and J8K-482 was out of a job. But the J8K series are survivors, so %u201CGolden Jake%u201D became a skip tracer for Boss Nieto%u2019s old rivals and never looked back.

Gwarrah was never as big as his fellow wookies. He was also never at home in the trees. So when he was young he caught a ship off Kashyyyk and left to see the stars.

Tomel breathed heavy as he rushed into the escape craft and slammed the jettison button. No way was he going to die today. The ship spiraled away in the aft porthole as the small shuttle fell away from the Night Star. He loved that ship, but it had become overrun by assassin droids. He still wasn%u2019t sure how the Black Sun figured out is was him feeding information to Crimson Dawn, but clearly they had. He settled into the seat and let out a sigh.

Thank you. Boba Pred came out better than I expected. I basically ended up with too many Masked Predator figures and have been trying out new ways to use them. I think if I were to do the Sullustan Jedi Again I'd give him hair or head wear. They just look weird to me bald, even though I know that's how they're supposed to be.

Gracias. I was pretty pleased with how the German Laser Trooper turned out. It was a pretty simple idea construction wise, but I kept adding to it.

So, much like I did towards the beginning of the years, I spent the weekend laying out enough figures to finish out the year. No just a lot of painting. :)

Wow, now that is a lot of custom projects down the pike. Nice, off to share.

Dude, that's a lot of painting! I see a few figures in there I have in the fodder pile for "some day" and I see a few fun combinations (is that a Fortnite/Wookiee mash-up - great idea for a female). These will be fun when done. I think the Thanator mount will be cool.

That's a lot of fodder. How do you come by it all?

I'm excited to see how the Fortnite/Wookie turns out. It's rough finding female bodies and of course harder still to find one with hair. I've thought about getting something from the Animal Warriors of the Kingdom ... but I balk at spending too much on fodder. I grabbed the Fortnite figure at a garage sale for a buck, so I feel more free to experiment. And I grabbed the Thanator at Tuesday morning for $3, so again if I screw it up I won;t cry too much :) I'm wanting to paint it up with Tribal markings, kind of like the Felucian Rancors.
That's a lot of fodder. How do you come by it all?
I have been collecting it for years, mostly from garage sales, Goodwill, FB Marketplace and bulk lots on eBay. I also used to scour Big Lots, Ross,, Tuesday Morning, TJ Maxx, and places like that, but that's obviously slowed down this year. I still keep an eye on the clearance aisle at Wal-Mart. I am a scavenger.
I do occasionally grab something specific, like the Cylon, Terminator, Klingon, etc., but make use of what I've found. I also have a very forgiving wife who doesn't complain that I have a closet full of boxes and spend a lot of Saturday mornings digging through them :)

Your wife is definitely a keeper! It's...very difficult to find someone who understands the hobby.

Thanks. So the tables I scored to Dollar Tree. They sell a line of wooden dollhouse furniture. I have to saw about 1/4 inch off the legs to make them fit the 3.75 inch size figures. They are raw wood color, so I have taken to soaking them in really strong coffee or tea to bring out the grain. I just didn't want to mess with the time and mess to use wood stain. They make great for work benches.
You are not kidding about those eBay lots, they are hard to find. I've actually scored stuff more often lately through Facebook Marketplace. Goodwill can definitely be a gold mine for fodder, but its pretty hit and miss. I hit the one in my town twice a week and come away with something good about one a month. Just enough to keep me coming back :)

I'm a month late posting a reaction to these, so you will likely have a new wave coming soon. Love Grasst and Beltron. Those Senator Palpatine robes still hold their charm. haha

(http://www.moronarama.com/customs/sw-c-c20p6 protocol droid01.jpg)
C20-P6 – Protocol Droid
C20-P6 was assigned to Senator Rugelio Baltin of Rodia after faithfully serving his predecessor for 20 years. As his programming would dictate, C20 is an impeccable linguist and protocol droid. As is now standard for all Senatorial Droids, he has also been programmed with basic defense systems and weapons handling to act as an emergency bodyguard to his Senatorial assignment. This has come in handy as Senator Baltin has a proclivity for the underground brothels and casinos of lower Coruscant. C20 has also been programmed for discretion.
Head is a SW Senate Can Droid from the Senator Palpatine figure. Torso and arms are Endo-Sym Iron Man. Hands are Vitruvian H.A.C.K.S. robot hands. Legs are GI Joe Duke Delta-6 Accelerator Suit.
(http://www.moronarama.com/customs/sw-c-darth dentis crite sith lord01.jpg)
Darth Dentis – Crite Sith Lord – A Star Wars/Critter Mashup
No one would have expected the force to manifest itself in a creature as savage as a Crite, so much so that the Jedi Council ordered the divergence to be eliminated when it was found. But Master Colwin felt great sorrow for the creature and abandoned it on the barren moon of Kelfor. It was here that Darth Venok found the creature and began his training. Rage and hunger define Darth Dentis’s approach to all things. He consumes his enemies whole whenever possible, feeding on their life force as much as their flesh.
Head is an Angel Forge Critter figurine. The torso, arms, legs and feet are SW Yoda. I shortened the legs and reattached the feet. The lightsaber is ½ of a SW Darth Maul sabre.
(http://www.moronarama.com/customs/sw-c-jawa with no name01.jpg)
The Jawa with No Name – Jawa Gunslinger
The Jawa arrives in a given without notice and begins his work. He is a hired gun, sure, but his vision is bigger than that. Why get paid by one swoop gang when you can get paid by both? Why not create a little competition … raise the stakes … raise the prices? It’s a lonely cold world out there for a Jawa, best get the most out of it you can!
The head, body, arms and legs are SW Jawa from the LIN droid set. The hat and poncho are from a Fortnite Calamity figure. The holsters are from a Marvel Hawkeye figure and the pistols are from a SW Tobia Beckett figure.
(http://www.moronarama.com/customs/sw-c-kahli gotell human padawan01.jpg)
Kahli Gotell – Human Padawan
Kahli Gotell was a tracker. She could reach out with the force and identify a specific individual as long as she was on the same planet. Her connection to the force was such that she could reach through a planet core and feel her quarry. So she was assigned to Master Dontori and began to train with the recruitment branch of the order. The two became and unstoppable pair, rescuing dozens of force sensitive children from mediocre fates.
A simple head swap and repaint. Head is a Xyber 9 Anakonda. The rest is SW Episode I Anakin Padawan figure.
(http://www.moronarama.com/customs/sw-c-palko-56 droid bounty hunter01.jpg)
Palko-56 – Droid Bounty Hunter
When the war ended on Corbus VI, they had no more need to the Palkos. Most got reprogrammed and sent back to the mines or the quarries, but Palko-56 decided this was not for him. He stowed away of a grain freighter and made his way to the inner planets. Bounty hunting is easy compared to war and these days it’s more about keeping busy rather than making money.
Head is from a Tron Legacy Sam Flynn Light Cycle figure. Torso, arms and hands are Fortnite A.I.M. figure. The legs and feet are a Gears of War Dominic Santiago.
(http://www.moronarama.com/customs/sw-c-saltiffa kroll togruta bounty hunter01.jpg)
Saltiffa Kroll – Togruta Bounty Hunter
Saltiffa swore she would never return to the Zygerrian Salve Market while she was alive. But saying never to the fates is a sure way to be disappointed. So it was that she found herself bringing in her bounty for the Crimson Dawn to the very Market that once held her and tore her away from her family. But she could think of no being more deserving than Quinto the Quarren, who had bought and sold so many here. With his mouth sewn shut he could hardly argue his side when Saltiffa traded him for that stack of credits. Bounty hunting can truly become a complicated business.
The head is SW Shaak Ti. The body, arms and legs are Ready Player One Art3mis. The blaster rifle is from Men In Black Stalk Eyes figure. The bandolier is from a Pirates of the Caribbean Jack Sparrow figure.
(http://www.moronarama.com/customs/sw-c-sgt kodon ilthorian expeditionary force01.jpg)
Sgt. Kodon – Ithorian Expeditionary Force
It was hard sometimes to keep order on a long mission, but Sgt. Kodon had faith in his men. Fifty of the finest Ilthorian Shocktroopers would provide security on the long mission to locate the Prime World, the theoretical first planet from which all life sprang. This was the goal of the Ilthorian Expeditionary Force, in the hopes of securing its secrets and finally bringing balance to the universe. The Ilthorian people would no longer be subject of the whims of Jedi Order or the Galactic Senate. While Force sensitives were a key part of the mission, they were loyal to the Command and not a crumbling tower of wizards high in the tower on Coruscant. Kodon would see that the mission was completed and his men would lay down their very lives on this, their quest.
Head, forearms & hands are SW POTF Momaw Nadon (Hammerhead). Torso is Ben 10 Petadillday. Legs & feet SW Rebels Zeb Orrelios. The arms are jointed using elbow joints from a SW Clone Wars animated Anakin Skywalker. The upper arm is from a Batman Dark Knight Rises figure. The bracers are from a Jurassic World Owen figure.
(http://www.moronarama.com/customs/sw-c-urato goom kel dor bounty hunter01.jpg)
Urato Goom – Kel Dor Bounty Hunter
Urato Goom would take dry and hot over damp and cold every time, if you let him. He’d been known to just let a bounty go, rather than follow them onto one of those stupid ice worlds. But only for short bounties, he was a professional after all. More or less anyhow. He had a bit of a gambling problem which had caused him to become the hunted rather than the hunter from time to time. But still he wasn’t the worst bounty hunter out there. He like to think he was squarely in the middle of the pack. Lower middle maybe, but surely not the worst … surely.
Head is SW Plo Koon. Torso and arms are Prince of Persia Prince Dastan. The legs are The Hobbit Fili the Dwarf.
(http://www.moronarama.com/customs/sw-c-ywallah wookie bounty hunter01.jpg)
Ywallah – Wookie Bounty Hunter
Ywallah had never stepped foot on Kashyyyk, he family having fled with a refugee shortly before the Imperial enslavement began. They were adrift in the stars and out among the other races for most of her life. Her parents taught her the Wookie ways and traditions, but she was always her own person. Like many Wookies she favors the traditional bowcaster, but she has found blaster pistols and other technology to be equally useful. The Wookies area a hunted people, but Ywallah likes to stay on the moves, he only true home is in space.
Head is SW Chewbacca. The rest is a Fortnite Cuddle Team Leader. The holder I from a GI Joe. I used Heinkle Multipurpose Cement to create the fur texture and the smooth parts of the Cuddle Team Leader. The belt greebles were from a couple different figures.
(http://www.moronarama.com/customs/sw-c-z1510 techno union service droid01.jpg)
Z1510 – Techno Union Service Droid
The Z-Series was supposed to be the Techno Unions answer to Industrial Automations R-Series Astromechs, but that was hardly the case. The Z Series did feature the standard Techno Union quadruped design, thought to be superior the Astromech’s leg and wheel set up, but beyond that the Z-Series fell short. The biggest flaw was thought to be the Z-Series lack of cognitive processing units, that while made them less snarky than the R-Series, also made them prone to getting trapped in logic loops. Sadly Techno Unions demise brought the whole project to an end.
The body is a SW Sebulba Podracer Spinner McDonald’s toy. The legs are from a Ready 2 Robot figure. The eye is an arm peg from a M.A.R.S. Cybotronic figure.
Blood Squadron
The Blood Squadron was formed from the remnants of the Green and Silver squadrons and reconstituted with several new pilots recruited from the outer rim. The Blood Squadron was tasked with striking Imperial Garrisons along the Outer Rim in order to liberate and recruit as many new planets as possible. They are led by a disgraced imperial captain who goes by the code name Hannibal. Many of the members of the squadron represent the last known survivors of their individual species.
(http://www.moronarama.com/customs/sw-c-cy the cylon bwing pilot01.jpg)
Cy – Blood Squadron Cylon B-Wing– A Star Wars/Battlestar Galactica Mashup
While exploring planets of the Outer Rim, the Blood Squadron Commander discovered the ancient remains of the robot they call Cy. Once revived he reported to be the last of a race of sentient droid known as the Cylons. He stated that they were destroyed by an ancient race of dark wizards called the Sith, after the Cylon’s ambitions ran in to conflict with those of the Sith. Cy reported he was adrift in space for many years before his ship cashed and he was rescued by a human named Starbuck. Cy said after Starbuck passed, he lost the ability to recharge and went dormant until Blood Squadron found him. He pilots one of the squadron’s massive B-Wing fighters, as his programming tends to favor heavy weaponry over the quick X-Wing fighters. He has proven to be a relentless if somewhat unimaginative warrior, and always signs off communications with a quirky, “By your Command!”
Head is a Battlestar Galactica Cylon Trooper. The rest is Reaction Alien Ripley in Space Suit figure. The blaster is from a SW Retro Bespin Han Solo.
(http://www.moronarama.com/customs/sw-c-t-800 droid bwing pilot01.jpg)
T-800 – Blood Squadron Cyberdyne Droid B-Wing Pilot - A Star Wars/Terminator Mashup
When the Empire discovered the Cyberdyne Systems plot to infiltrate and take control of the Imperial Navy, they decimated planet Ter-1 where the Cyberdyne Droid Foundry was located. It was believed that every Cyberdyne Droid model was destroyed but a handful survived. The leader of discovered T-800 in a junk heap on Ord Mantell and his engineer, Baracus, was able to revive the droid. Without the hive mind of Cyberdyne to direct it, the T-800 imprinted on the Blood Squadron and has become fiercely loyal. He pilots on of the squadrons B-Wing fighters and due to his droid reflexes can operate the multiple weapon systems with uncanny accuracy. T-800 is in the forefront of any combat missions the Squadron engages in.
The head is a Reaction Terminator T-800. The body is a SW Kenner B-Wing Pilot. The headgear is from a Vitruvian H.A.C.K.S. boxer set. Blaster is from a SW Retro Leia in Hoth Gear.

Thanks, Darth More. I wish I could take credit for the fading skin, but that was the paint on the original Ready Player One figure. I just matche the arm color to the face color of the Shaak Ti figure.
That Kel Dor bounty hunter is amazing looking! Great batch of customs all around.
Thank you, RC-1136. I have really dug how well the Prince of Persia parts work for desert thug figures.

Thank you, Aude. I thought the Jawa With No Name turned out well. Those Fortnite figures have been a boon for parts.
I am really growing partial to Palko 56
Thank you, Tamer. I was really excited when I started taking the Fortnite figures apart, because I remembered seeing that torso jointing before in the Gears of War figures, but then never finding a way to use them. He's a little short, but the parts came together perfectly!
Darth Dentis is by-far my favorite of the lot! So rad!
Thanks, Don. I knew as soon as I saw those Angelforge critters I was going to have t make a jedi. They use some solid resin, so it took some doing to get the head free. But it was worth it :)

I present the Moronsters!
So, lets start off by saying I'm a weird dude. For a while I've been putting together a pile of figures where I did some very crude sculpting of weird heads and other features, figures that didn't necessarily go with the mostly Star Wars figures I usually put together. Extending from that I thought it might be fun to put them together with card backs. I was very much inspired by Super 7's The Worst series, which of course is a throw back to all those cheap knock off/bootlegs figures from my childhood like Bugmen from Insecta and Dragonriders of the Styx. So I made cardbacks with some quick drawings of the figures and threw together a convoluted space opera story pitting the Chthulhoids vs the Degenerators vs the Crew of the Scurvy Gull. Hope all this silliness brings a smile to your face.
They are up for purchase on Etsy,

Emperor Fishlips
Divine ruler of the Ichythoslag people and leader of the Degenerators. Emperor Fishlips is merciless in his control of his people and hungers to control space and time.

CAD-171 – Protocol Droid
When Doctor Kuzla build CAD-171, he needed a lab assistant. But given the somewhat dubious nature of his experiments, he also needed a little security. He has been studying the Colicoids, so it was natural to mimic their four legged insect forms into his droid design. So while CAD-171 can handle the most delicate of experiments and translate genetic code in a flash, he's also been equipped with reapid response protocols and weapon programming. Can't have the competition or the test subjects get the better of you, can you.

Captain Soonta – Ilthorian Expeditionary Force
It was the long mission of the Ilthorian Expeditionary Force to locate the Prime World, the theoretical first planet from which all life sprang. The hope was to secure its secrets and finally bring balance to the universe. The Ilthorian people would no longer be subject of the whims of Jedi Order or the Galactic Senate. It was Captain Soonta's job to make sure the mission was a success. He has to balance the combat tendencies of the Shocktrooper Units versus the more subtle needs of his Force Sensitive Seekers versus the exploratory desire of his Science teams. It could be hard, but he had pulled the the crew out of enough scrapes that he held the respect of all three groups.
Head and hands are SW Momaw Nadon. The rest is a full articulated Buzz Lightyear figure.

Darth Corallus – Qiraash Sith Lord
Samko Enz had been researching the Night Sisters since he was a young boy. When he was finally cleared to travel to Dathomir by the University, he could not get there quick enough. He was driven to uncover their knowledge and their secret control of the force. While there he was befriended by and elderly Quarren who shared his interest in the study of this power. The Old Quarren pushed Samko into darker and darker areas of research until he finally revealed himself nd Darth Azard, long thought dead. He took Samko as his apprentice and renamed him Darth Corallus, and anointed him with the traditional tattoos of the Night Sisters.
Head is some smooth head alien cast I got in a lot of heads. The arms, torso and legs are from a SW Count Dooku animated figure. There are some greebles on his belt mad from some SW accessories. I used a Micron ink pen to do the tattooing.

Dima Vash – Devaronian Jedi
Dima Vash had been on the trail of the Separatist saboteur for nearly a month. Every time he was a few steps behind and every time a few more innocent lives were lost. Whoever or whatever it might be, this infiltrator had been able to get past Vash and his considerable Jedi powers. This worried Vash and something else, something just out of reach to his senses had him uneasy about this opponent. But Vash had him now, trapped in the abandoned factory. Nowhere left to run, nowhere left to hide. And these were Vash’s thoughts as the red glow of his enemies lightsaber erupted behind him. How could he have not seen this coming?
Head is a Vitruvian H.A.C.K.S. gargoyle head. The rest is a SW Saesee Tiin figure.
(http://www.moronarama.com/customs/sw-c-dst-448 service droid01.jpg)
DST-448
DST-448 was odd for his series. Most were loyal service droid and battle caddies, but DST-448 was his own droid. He excelled and engine repaid and maintenance, like all of the DST-Series, but he had dedicated a chunk of his memory of limericks, bawdy tales and drinking songs. The junkyard at Getty Prime was often filled with the metallic voice singing about Rodian Ale and questionable romantic interludes.
The tracks and body are from a Dollar Tree tank and fueling station, the arms are Battle Droid, and the eyes are a Halo modular armor piece. The back pack is from a Polly Pocket Nicholas figure. The radar dish is from a DC Robin armor.

EV-X4
The EV series had been a disaster for MerenData. Their supervisor droid had been prone to stupidity and malicious intent. But while those are horrible traits for a service model, they could be great for a combat model. So the EV's were refitted for wet work. Of course when they started to become “overzealous” in their acceptance for “collateral casualties”, sometime including their owners, MerenData had another problem. But by then the executives had retired to Dorumaa having looted the company thoroughly.

(http://www.moronarama.com/customs/sw-c-fassos the lesser kinyenian thug01.jpg)
Fassos the Lesser
Fassos had a face only a mother could love and only a fool could trust. It certainly limited his options, so he entered into the glamorous world of thuggery. He excelled at the veiled threat and was a crack-shot with a blaster. He also had just the right amount of fluid loyalty to keep him gainfully employed with several bosses around the Mos Eisley area.
The head is from rubber vending machine alien. The body, arms & legs are SW Ki Adi Mundi, with com sculpting and hood added to the back.

Ferios – Tognath Jedi
Ferios had the dream again the night before. There he was standing above the ruined city, fires raging around him. And there across the bridge, the shadowy figure with the glowing red eyes. Ferios had been well trained as a Jedi, and he knew not to let emotions cloud his judgement, but the dream haunted him. And then he found himself here in the city of Seti on Ryloth with the Separatists bombarding them from space. Here he was on the Bridge of Songs, his padawan slain, waiting for the monster from his dreams to arrive. Then from the shadows ahead came the ragged breath and the clank of metal feet. He drew his lightsaber and readied his stance. His fate had arrived.

Greelee Iona – Human Padawan
Greelee was never afraid to try something new, especially when it came to sparring with her fellow students. With the practice sabers she was unmatched, but she was struggling some now that they were using their real light sabers. But Horas was making her mad, teasing her and taunting her. She was ready and launched her fleche, but Horas panicked and stumbled. His lose blade flung through the air and struck Greelee’s sword arm at the wrist. The pain was excruciating and as she laid on the mat she realized she was seeing her own severed hand facing her. Luckily the teachers were quick and she was rushed to surgery. They could not save the hand, but could fit her with a new cybernetic one. It was a hard lesson, but Greelee never lost her cool in combat again.

J8K-721 – Droid Bounty Hunter
The J8K series was originally designed for human infiltration. There was no mistaking that distinctive head, but the human clothes and good cloak and they could get situated in an urban area, before being triggered to utilize their considerable fighting skills against enemy combatants. J8K-721 had been programmed with these protocols, but after being abandoned for more effective units, he was left to his own devices. Like many of his series, he took to bounty hunting. It afforded him opportunities to fine tune his equipment, including molecular blades on his forearms and jump jets on his lower legs.

Keela Djot – Sakiyan Jedi
Keela's master told her to run, but she could not. Not only was Master Ghado her friend, but she had allowed her self to feel much more than that for him. It was against the Jedi way, but her heart swelled for him in a way she did not think she could control. She had been trained to avoid attachment, but was love and life not at the heart of the Jedi path. But as the traitorous Clones began to attack, Keela rushed into the path of he blasters, fighting desperately for the man she now knew she loved.

L1-S0Z was designed to put people at ease with her child like appearance.

The Council has sent him on dozens of missions infiltrating everything from Senatorial staff to Royal attendants.

Potas – Nautolan Jedi
Potas was fearless in his combat training, but his real strength lied in his vision of things to come. Those large dark eyes could peer more clearly into the future than any youngling they had seem in a century. So he was assigned to Mistress Jocasta Nu. She could help mold his mind and home his skills in the service of the great Jedi Library. And so it was to be until the dark day that Vader crossed the threshold of the Temple. Like many, Potas fell that day to the Sith Lord's blade.

Jawa Bob mad quite a find when I found Poto-39. Someone had filled that little tread droid with specs for thousands of droids. In the used droid business that was gold. Poto-39 could filed strip an Astromech and reassemble it in under 2 hours. And the thing would run better than it did coming off the factory floor. And in exchange, Jawa Bob made sure Poto-39 was well cared for. All the mods and oil baths a droid could desire. It was a good life for a droid.

Pram Hornek was out for blood. Those filthy Weequays had stolen his bounty for the last time. Turk Flaso and his crew and his crew had been holding up in the abandoned spice refinery. Pram slipped past the booby traps and snuck in through the old galley entrance. There they were, having a good ol’ time celebrating pulling one over on him. Slowly and methodically he set up his heavy repeating blaster, Bertha. Bertha would show those lousy Weequays a thing or two … yes, he would.

R2-LNK was so clean and shiny the day he was bought, that Captain Sprigs was almost afraid to send him down into the bowels of the transport ship. Sprigs ran a small operation, but he knew the Heavy Astromech was a good investment. A topnotch Big Boy Astro with the right programming could keep ad ship running long after it should have given up and died. And R2-LNK provide his worth a dozen times over.

But Scott was a precocious boy, and not above bending his father’s rules to have a little fun. And that is how they ended up being held hostage by the crime lord known as Mayhem.

Resneek – Roylan Mechanic – A Star Wars/Star Trek Mashup
The engines of the cruiser were a nightmare when Resneek arrived. How had they been allowed to reach such a state? Admiral Raddus had been far too lenient with his prior engineer. It was going to take a 2 weeks of hard work to get the Profundity back in fighting shape. And what was he hearing now? They would be heading into combat again within the hour. Resneek told the old Mon Calamari the ship wasn’t ready for that, but Raddus wouldn’t hear it. So Resneek patched it together and hoped it would hold until they could get I to dry-dock after they got finished at Scarif. Fingers crossed.

Sen Quinzo was the last of his house. Wiped out by clan Vizla for refusing to swear allegiance to the damned Empire. It was an easy thing for him to pledge himself to clan Kryze and plan to retake Manda’lor. Sen Quinzo was never one of the heavy font line fighters. His skills lied in stealth and the close kill. Opting for lighter beskar and a silent running jet pack, he led reconnaissance and recovery missions for the forces of Bo Katan.

He knows all the best spider holes and secret lairs out there. He knows the ins and outs of all those imperial wrecks and rebel crash sites. What he knows more than anything else is what it takes to survive in the wastes. Runners are never prepared for how that desert saps the water from you, and how little food there is to find out there. A little patience and most of those bounties come to you, just begging for a little water. Easy pickings.

Tartaro did not enjoy fancy parties, but here he was at the Senatorial Gala anyhow. He had three of his fellow Jedi had been charged with security following and assassination attempt on the chancellor. Tartoro did not like the Chancellor. This was something more than his disdain for politician and their petty games … there was something wrong about him. But he had been trained to be mindful of his feelings and disciplined to follow his orders. So Tartaro waited at the party when the Chancellor and Skywalker slipped away, Master Windu hot on their heels.

Yes, the bounty had said alive, and yes, the bounty was now dead. But that was the fault of Payers security droid, not Zobragus. This slimy Nikto was going to try and trick Zobragus, and that was not happening. Drawing down on the Payer Zobragus made it clear what he was owed.

Love the Moronsters! What a great concept - they were really fun. I like this last batch of Star Wars, too. The vehicles were a great addition and turned out nicely - you must have a huge fodder box! There are a lot of great figures in here - the pit droid bounty hunter is great, the Tognath Jedi turned out well, as did Keela, and I really like what you did with Galius Zed - I've got him sitting in my fodder box just waiting for inspiration. Really nice job with this round.

He relished any assignment the council sent him on that let him near the water, but his dreams were filled of Ando. This was his struggle to bear, the attachment he tried to break in his Jedi Vows.

His contact said that Agrata come out of his spider whole every week or so to resupply, and this was where he did his business. Moolar counted at least two other bounty hunters lurking about the port, but none had found this crap hole tavern yet. Just as he was about to call it a day, a short figure in dark robes slunk in from the side entrance. The thing approached the barkeep and Moolar saw the unmistakable flash rings on the robed creature, most notably the red signet of the Crimson Dawn.

Worf – Klingon B-Wing Pilot – Blood Squadron
A Star Wars/Star Trek Mash Up
The Empire thought they could harness the rage and prowess of the Klingon people. Governor Kirk was assigned to the planet and began to manipulate their strong sense of honor to bind them into the service of the Emperor. Unfortunately, the Klingons proved too unpredictable and after a renegade faction murdered Kirk’s son, he ordered planetary genocide. Worf was one of a very few Klingons to escape the massacre, smuggled off world and raise mostly by humans. He keeps his father’s bat’leth as a reminder of what the Empire did. He joined the rebellion at his first chance and quickly found his way into Blood Squadron, where he pilots one of the massive B-Wing fighters. His battle prowess is nearly unparalleled, but his rage has almost got him killed several times. As such he was paired with the Vulcan Spock whose cold calculations act as a check on Worf’s hot bloodedness.
Head is a Star Trek Next Generation Worf. The rest is SW Kenner B-wing Pilot. I had to hollow out the helmet from the B-Wing pilot head.

Spock was raised in one of the refugee colonies by his Vulcan father and human mother. After the Empire raided and enslaved the colony, Spock fled and joined the Rebellion. Spock wears a mask of cold precise logic, but it belies a swirling ocean of anger and sadness underneath. He did not originally seem a good fit for the Blood Squadron’s heavy B-Wing, but he has proven to a precise and logical tactician. He acts as a calming influence to the Klingon Worf acting as his wingman in combat.

Another great batch! Theres are all really great and unique. I like the bb-d2 the parts fit surprisingly well. The grasshopper security droid is cool. I like the lost in space robot head, didn't know there was one in that scale. I think I watched Buckaroo Bonzai, that's pretty awesome.

Thanks JDeck. I was shocked at how well the Galaxy of Adventure BB8 head fit on the standards R2 body. The Robbie the Robot head is a Minimates. That's also where I get my Alien Xenomorph heads. They bad some Battle Beast heads that age good also.

Great new entries - and glad to see you back. I really liked the Trek crossovers. I have a Klingon I'm designing too, but I really like your backstories on both - and putting them in B Wing's totally makes sense. I also really like the design on Snoglot, BB-D2 and the G'hu character (using the Ironman armor for a helmet turned out really well!). Super creative!

Great to see you back! Love those Trek Star Wars Figures. Awesome.
Off to the front pages. Well the main page, I am having fits with Facebook lately.

Thanks, Starchaser. I thought the Trek crossover turned out better than I expected. I was afraid I was gonna get a lot of blow back from the Wars vs Trek crowd, but nothing. I think Snoglot was my favorite build of the batch, but I was super happy with how will BB-D2 came out.

Bah’toro – Devaronian Smuggler
It is very rare for female Devaronians to be born with horns, and the ones that are have a reputation that goes hovers between blessed and cursed. They rarely stay on planet when they reach age, seeking their fortunes away from the stigma of their own people. So it was with Bah’toro, captain of the Burning Run. She wasn’t afraid of a fight, but fights risk cargo and cargo risks money. Fast and quiet was the name of the game, whether it was beating and Imperial blockade or finishing a cantina squabble. Bah’toro always came out on top.

Bluefangs - Togorian Bounty Hunter
Bluefangs huddled behind the crate wondering how the quarry got the drop on him. He know of course he had acted impulsively, rushing in without a full plan. His Togorian blood lust got the better of him this time. It didn’t help that he was in arears with the guild either. Bounty hunting was a complicated business, indeed. I could hear the bounty moving trying to flank him. Bluefangs was torn … follow the same instincts that got him into this mess or try to logic his way to a solution. The footsteps were closer and he could feel his hackles raising. He felt his claws tense reflexively and could feel the prey nearing. Maybe this would still turnout alright, dead or alive was the order, so a few scratches shouldn’t matter.

(http://www.moronarama.com/customs/sw-c-greystack fulum jedi01.jpg)
Greystack – Fu-lum Jedi – A Star Wars/Dragon Ball Evolution Mash Up
Rushing at full speed, Greystack lead the pursuing battle droids into the gully, and straight into the ambush. But as he cleared the final turn there was something wrong. The Clone Troopers were out of position. They should be stacked up two deep waiting to waste the clankers, but nothing. He could sense them, but not see them. Then the blaster fire erupted and he head the droids going down behind him. He spun to face the mechanical mob and aid in the clean up when he felt the first bolt tear through his shoulder. Betrayal flashed in his mind and the number 66. His confusion diminished as all things did when the remaining blasts severed him from his body. Then there was the glowing light of the force and nothing else.
Head is original sculpt in ApoxySculpt. The rest is SW Ki Adi Mundi.
(http://www.moronarama.com/customs/sw-c-it-3p0 interrogation droid01.jpg)
IT-3P0 – Interrogation Droid
The rebel leader would give up the information one way or another. The foolish man had been brought to the brink of death four times already, and every time IT-3P0 saved him. While the droid was unconcerned with the man’s feelings, she was impressed by his resilience. She would have to include the results in her scientific sub set results for future analysis. Just as soon as the organ splicers were complete she could begin again, and statistically speaking the man was likely to provide the necessary information during this next round. And if not, IT-3P0 was patient … infinitely patient.
Head is SW IT-O Interrogation Droid. The body, arms & legs are Roblox Imagination Aven the Silver Warrior. The wired mid-rift was made with ApoxySculpt and wired from an old set of iPhone head phone the cat chewed up.

Je'warret – Jawa Mercenary
There is a little known caste among the Jawas, one not known outside the clans, the Kshatriya Warret … the heavy warrior. Only the very strongest of the younglings are taken from the crawlers deep into hidden caves where they are trained on the use of heavy weapons and armor. Then they are returned to defend the clan from outside threats. So it was to be with Je-Warret, but when he returned to his clan on Tatooine, they had been slaughtered by Imperial Stormtroopers. Without a clan, Je’Warret found his way to Mos Eisley and then to the stars. Here he traded his fearsome skill with weapons for coin and a chance to kill Empire troops.

(http://www.moronarama.com/customs/sw-c-karrlos lepi jedi01.jpg)
Karrlos - Lepi Jedi
Karrlos, Jedi Knight of the Republic, had just about enough of this nonsense. He had been sent to Kirdo III to settle a disagreement among the Kitonak rulers that threatened to end in civil war. But here he was a week later trying to negotiate a settlement with the Musician’s Guild that would lead to a peace with the Mining Collective, which would resolve issues with the Docking Union, at which point the nobility would feel free to begin their own negotiations. The Kitonak made the Hutts seems simplistic in the convolutions. But it was finally done and Karrlos and Guild were ready to sign. “And who will be paying the Machinist Horde’s fee?” one of them asked, and Karrlos’s stomach sank. This would never end.

(http://www.moronarama.com/customs/sw-c-lubella fahlsin zygerian bounty hunter01.jpg)
Lubella Fahlsin - Zygerrian Bounty Hunter
When the slaves ran, it was Lubella’s job to follow. Couldn’t have the filthy wretches getting away, not when there was so much money to be made. This was the Zygerrian way. Capture if you can, maim if you can’t, kill if you have to. So it was no-thing to hunt bounties when the Jedis destroyed the slave market. The principles were the same. Better than facing the penal colonies or being a debtor to the Hutts as many of her kind did. One had to watch ones back though, Zygerrians had reputation for cruelty and bondage. Best to work from a distance and stick to the rules. Capture if you can, maim if you can’t, kill if you have to.
Head is Treasure Planet captain Amelia. The rest is DC Catwoman. The belt and swords are GI Joe Snake Eyes.

MA-6 Protocol Droid
MA-6 wondered if he could get back into cold storage. It had to be better than the endless droning of this gasbag senator. A memory wipe might help, but he was sure his personality matrix would come to the same conclusion within minutes. Senator Gofallus was an idiot … and a pig. He needed less of a protocol droid and more of a social housekeeper to keep cleaning up his messes. He could not remember them, but he was sure he previous owner had been a class act. He had been built to help class acts. Cold storage sounded better and better every day.
Head is from TMNT Krang Surprise Minifigure. Torso is SW MaQuarrie Concept C-3P0. Arms are Marvel Iron Man and legs are Marvel Ultron

Palko-19 – Bounty Hunter Droid
When the war ended on Corbus VI, they had no more need to the Palkos. Most got reprogrammed and sent back to the mines or the quarries, and a few went off planet to become bounty hunters. Palko-19 was requisitioned along with 5 other heavy Palkos by and formal General be for he left planet. The general turned criminal boss used the Palkos as muscle until he ran afoul of the Crimson Dawn. Palko-19 was the only part of the group to survive the encounter and with few other options, hired himself out to Crimson Dawn running down debtors.

Pann Drecco - Seisopto Bounty Hunter
Seisoptico was a glorious planet. Clean beaches, clear water, temperate climate. Until the Empire came. They stripped the land, blackened the seas and what was temperate became sweltering desert. The Seisopto could no longer stay and scattered tot he stars on great colony ships. But the Empire's new galaxy was not welcoming to newcomers, and pirates and scammers quickly diminished the people's ranks. With no other choices, many like Pann Decco turned to crime and bounty hunting. A tough life for a people who had already lost so much. This was the way of the universe now, the Pax Galactica.

This is now his fourth “hero incident.” Data logs indicate he has also taken to calling his fellow Heavy Astromech “Cap” and requesting he be called “Tony.” In addition to this he makes “pew pew pew” noises while removing debris from the mining shaft as well as “swooshing” noises while “flying” from task to task.

I put the two I liked the most on the front pages, but that Devornian Female Smuggler was awesome too. You come up with some great customs.
I mean that Jawa with some serious firepower is fantastic! I could so see that Soda Astromech showing up in a Cantina or Sail Barge. Just great stuff.
Off to share it and your auctions on the front pages.

Nice new batch!
-
Those are insanely cool! The Jawa marauder is definitely a creepy favorite! Well done.
-
Sweet update! I like the use of the Roblox figure and Amelia for a Zygerrian is a great idea!
-
I agree with Tamer, I'm in love with the Jawa and the C0KE dispenser droid. Such a cool idea! For some reason the Jawa reminds me of the Skaven of Warhammer fantasy with his washed look and the gatling gun.
So many awesome designs and exotic headsculpts here! Karrlos is so much fun to look at! If I had a "Lepi" head, I'd definitely make one as well. I just have too many incomplete TCW Obi-Wan figures in my fodder bin...

Thank you guys. Between work family and customizing I haven't been able to reply in anything close to a timely manner, but I do really appreciate it.

Ashlan – Fu-lum Bounty Hunter
A Star Wars/Dragonball Evolution Mashup
When Ashlan first struggled from the shores of the savage swamp and into the den of his family, there was little hope he'd survive until winter. He was scrawny and thin. He was the runt of the birthing. But he survived. And when the slavers came a swept up his village to go work the mines of Cynda, they though for sure Ashlan would be dead in a week. But again, he survived. Survived long enough to under stand the mines. Survived long enough to understand the delivery schedules. Survived long enough to escape and start a new life hunting those who ran. And day after day he ran down the unlucky and survived.

Balgus Forsought – Satyrian Scoundrel
The Satyrians occupy the third moon of Devaron and are cousins to its devilish race. Unlike the more gruesome Devaronians, the Satyrians are known for their beauty and charm. Balgus Forsought is a prime specimen of this. He’s also a being with almost no moral compass. He would trade his brood-mates for a glass of Rodian Ale and he would burn a world for the right margin. Balgus trades in secrets & lies and he does a brisk business. Luckily he won the favor of Gorraba the Hutt, which has kept him off the chopping block on more than a few occasions. A wise man would not leave Balgus Forsought unattended at ones back.

Bone Hammer was one of the few Yautja willing to abandon his people’s tradition of trophy hunting that lead most of his race into the bounty hunting profession. Bone Hammer is a skilled pilot who has modified his A-Wing fighter with equipment from his home world, including: advanced sensor array, full rotating auto targeting cannons, and cloaking device. This of course comes at the cost of diminished shield capacity. Bone Hammer is often utilized by the squadron for advanced scouting and recon, at which he excels.

Lurker was doing just that … hiding in the shadows. The scientists has increased its intelligence, far beyond what they wanted. Too smart meant hard to control. Lurker was a failure by program standards. It was scheduled for termination when the partisans attacked the facility. Colonel Hannibal brought Lurker into blood squadron and trained it. Lurker became an ace pilot in the versatile X-Wing fighter. Lurker's fighter uses stolen Shadow Tech to gain surprise advantage in combat, sweeping in from the black of space.

K0-DRD “D-Red” - Droid Bounty Hunter
K0-DRD “D-Red” has the patience that can only come being mechanical. He had sat for a week under the same tree watching the same backwater tavern. Now through the scopes of his long rifle his target came into view. A Twi’lek in expensive robes and a Rodian in a ragged space suit. They loitered near the entrance talking. Possibly about how clever they had been to dodge the bounty on their heads. So clever. Two quick blasts from the rifle and their cleverness dissipated. They had been worth more alive, but the dead fee was enough. D-Red gathered his bag and marched to collect his bodies.

R2-KZX – Astromech Droid
The little girl, Kurri, called him “Lemon Drop”, but R2-KZX rarely responded to that designation. Assigned to nursemaid this child was beneath his programming. He was meant for a luxury spaceliner, but for the company collapsed. Now instead of the stars, played games about pink Ewoks and raced the halls of the mansion seeking the hidden child. So much for the dreams of droids.

Sawtooth spent time everyday meditating to control the hunger that drove his species. There were few at the academy that thought a Mooger could ever reach the level of Knight, given their driving biological needs. To have so many teeth and tear into everything around you seemed a bias they could not escape. How could such a creature not succumb to the Dark Side. But Sawtooth trusted in the Force and trusted in his feelings. Sustained by the binding magic of the universe his hunger was satisfied and he excelled art his studies.

He fired the tranq dart at the door mechanism ahead. As the portal hissed open, TR-533 rolled through the opening, releasing the flechettes as he went. The Klatioonian never knew what hit him as the metal shards tore into him. Bloody, his carcass dropped to the floor. TR-533 calculated for a minute and directed his ship to the nearest air lock. Dragging the body he began the scan the listing for his next target.

Yandra Kastro – Human Bounty Hunter
Why be subtle when you can make a mark? Yandra Kastro always left her mark. The time in the military training followed by the time in the brig was not enough to dull her ego. She would show the galaxy what she was made of. And she was hard to miss. Tall in black and red armor. The heavy repeating blaster and the Besslisk blade she swung. It was hard not to see her. And the bounties learned to be afraid, but that just made it fun. Nothing like a good chase and a wild public fight to leave your mark.

A member of the Blood Squadron formed from the remnants of the Green and Silver squadrons and reconstituted with several new pilots recruited from the outer rim. The Blood Squadron was tasked with striking Imperial Garrisons along the Outer Rim in order to liberate and recruit as many new planets as possible. The Melmacians were a prosperous race in the out reaches of the Galaxy, until the Empire took and interest in the planets rich ore supplies. The largely peaceful Melmacians stood no chance before the imperial onslaught. Survivors were few and Alf was one of those willing to join the Rebellion. His piloting talent lies in his ability to focus on a singular target and run it down without mercy, usually mumbling something about “cat juice.” Alf is a loyal and reliable member of the Blood Squadron.

Mork – X-Wing Pilot
A Star Wars/Mork & Mindy Mashup
A member of the Blood Squadron formed from the remnants of the Green and Silver squadrons and reconstituted with several new pilots recruited from the outer rim. The Blood Squadron was tasked with striking Imperial Garrisons along the Outer Rim in order to liberate and recruit as many new planets as possible. While being a strong pilot, Mork often worries his fellow Blood Squadron members. He can often be found talking to some imaginary figure he refers to as Orson and giving full reports of his days activities. The flip side of this instability is in combat, Mork will often assail his opponent's coms with and unending verbal assault including strange voices, noises and jokes. He does a killer Emperor Palpatine.

Doc Magehdon – Duros Doctor
The Galactic Frontier is a dangerous place. The hard-scrabbled people of these planets have a nobility and sense of honor that has been lost in Core Worlds. This is what drew Doc Maghedon to work in this place, that and the freedom to make his own way on his own terms. Trained at the finest hospitals Corusant had to offer, Doc makes his life serving these people out on the edge. But not everyone is kind on the Rim, and being handy with a Vibro-Sword has saved his skin more than a few times. Life on the Frontier isn't for everyone, but the Doc continues to make his way.

KLNK-1 “Klunk” - Maintenance Droid
The captain of the Arachno Star had given up trying to buy a droid that could manage the ship's complex maintenance, so he just built his own. KLNK-1, or Klunk was cobbled together of parts of a dozen wrecked droids from a Ord Mantell salvage haul. As a result of this hodgepodge Klunk has a most unique personality and can be found whistling and talking to himself as he races through the Star's passages and ducts, tweaking and repairing her systems.

Kssk – Xenomorph Jedi
A Star Wars/Aliens Mashup
When Kssk first burst from the chest of the Mirialan woman, she knew she was different. The woman was a Jedi and by way of the Force was able to connect Kssk to the collective unconsciousness of the Order. So even as the Master died, the creature born of that death was redeemed from it's race's violent and destructive nature. Kssk was quickly found by the Order and brought to the Temple for training. The gift her host provided her made Kssk a quick learner and strong adept to the Jedi ways. She quickly rose to Padawan and then Knight, driven to redeem herself for the life she too with her first breaths.

OOR-449 – Surveyor Droid
There are some planets whose magnetism prevents orbital scanning. Heavy ore deposits in the crust or deep metal cores play merry hob with the sensors. The irony is these planets usually hold the most valuable resources. So the mining guilds and prospectors deploy the Surveyor Droid, rugged bots designed with high capacity batteries and special recharging equipment for the long walk. Drop four or five on a small moon and they have have the whole thing mapped out in a month. One foot in from of the other, never stopping until the job is done.

Pushko Rahl – Aqualish Jedi
They left him for dead in the swamp, bleeding and surely food for the beasts. But the weak minded do not know the Force, or how it flows strongly from life. Barely conscious, Pushko Rahl slowly drew the power from all the living thing around him into himself and began to repair the wounds his attackers had inflicted. The algae, the moss, the bugs, and toads and lizards all fed a small piece of their life into him and he was mended. It might have been days or weeks, but when Pushko finally stood he was as strong as the day he was born. He reached out seeking the trail his assailants left. Not for revenge, but for justice. The trail appeared to him clear as day and he marched forward, a Jedi on a mission.
Head is SW Ponda Boba. The hands are from a Elite Forces soldier. The rest is SW Comic Pack Anakin Skywalker.
(http://www.moronarama.com/customs/sw-c-r0-dnt service droid01.jpg)
R0-DNT – Service Droid
Nobody ever notices a service droid, especially a cleaning droid. It was no different for R0-DNT, and that's why the pirates used him. Drop him off at port on a full cargo ship or nice juicy passenger liner, and then have R0-DNT sabotage the hyperdrive in the middle of nowhere. Why blow and airlock when R0-DNT can just open the doors and roll out the red carpet. If he can crack the internal security protocols, R0-DNT can even lock the crew in quarters and then there's not even a fight. A good space buccaneer cannot ignore the value of a good service droid.
Head is a Star Trek Tricorder. The body is a Hot Wheels Speed Trapper. The hoses are from a old set of Apple earbuds.
(http://www.moronarama.com/customs/sw-c-r2-gp6 astromech droid01.jpg)
R2-GP6 – Astromech Droid
The GP series were designed to remove the need for the companion droid. Why drop credits on two droids when you can get one droid that will do it all? The GP series had all the system accessibility of a regular Astromech, but with the increased language matrix of a protocol droid. Better still, some like R2-GP6 could be loaded with tactical data, making them good for back up security and defense. Unfortunately the series fell prey to economics of the time, supply chain issues and a aftermarket on standard Astromechs that was too robust to continue such a costly program.
Head and torso are from a SW Astromech droid. The arms are from a SW C-3P0. The legs are from a SW FA-4 droid.

Sacco Carballa – Panhad Bounty Hunter
The Panhads were a rare race to encounter, even in the Outer Rim. Their insular society did not seek to join the the greater galaxy in trade and war and the natural remoteness beyond the Regnac Asteroid Belt kept most visitors away. But some like Sacco Carballa were filled with wanderlust and took off to the stars. Normally their weakened eyesight limited a traveling Panhad's employment options, but Sacco had himself fitted with cybernetic implants. With new eyes and his naturally thick hide, bounty hunting seemed a natural fit. And Sacco did well for himself, proving to be a reliable and resourceful skip tracer and a favorite of the Black Sun.
The head I picked up in a set of prototype figures, but I'm not sure the line. The eyes/goggles are from a old Mastermind game. The torso arms and legs are from a Rick and Morty Rick in Purge Suit. The belt is from a True Legends pirate and the pistol is from a Meez-itz pirate. The pickax is Lanard CORPS! And the shotgun is Fortnite.

Treesha Rook – Mandalorian Bounty Hunter
Treesha Rook hated her clan's subservience to House Kast. She had been raised on the stories of mighty warriors from her clan who fought independently during the Heroic Age of Mandalor. So It was no surprise when Treesha left Mandalor to ply her skills as a hunter of men. Even by Mandalorean standards, Treesha was seen as vicious in her pursuit of quarry. She didn't hesitate to threaten or exploit a bounty's family or friends. She saw no dishonor as those not of Mandalor deserved no special treatment. And so Treesah made a name for herself as ruthless and cruel, but a bounty hunter who always got the job done.

Z15X – Techno Union Security Droid
The Z-Series was supposed to be the Techno Unions answer to Industrial Automations R-Series Astromechs, but that was hardly the case. The Z Series did feature the standard Techno Union quadruped design, thought to be superior the Astromech’s leg and wheel set up, but beyond that the Z-Series fell short. The Union took a large number of the Z-Series were retooled for security and military sales, where that actually proved more appropriated. With heavy repeating blasters and combat sensor arrays, the newly dubbed ZX droids were much sought after until the Techno Union's demise at the end of the Clone Wars.
The main body is a McDonalds SW Podracer toy. The legs and pelvis are from a Ready2Robot set. The gun is from a Fallout T-60 Armor figure. The senor I cannot remember.

Wow, so awesome those pilots. Man, I like that Mandalorian Bounty Hunter too and the droids.
You do great work.
Off to share on the front pages and great to see you back around!

Amazing really like the alf an mork pilots

Thank you, guys. I think the Alf came out particularly well. I wish I could have managed to get a helmet on him, but his ears would not cooperate.

ATO-43 – Prospector Droid
ATO-43 was programmed with a mission by his master, find the Am-Shak Lode at any cost. Many doubted the existence of such a fantastic find, but his master believed whole heartedly. So ATO-43 believed. Even though the master long ago passed away from this life, ATO-43 continued the search. He long ago replaced the specific memories of his master with star charges and mineral reports, until at last he focused on the asteroids surrounding Sriluur’s fifth moon. His master was right, but what was a droid to do with such a find. His master left no instructions for that.

Cerenda Pohl - Human Padawan
Master Koroba had not prepared Cerenda for the negotiations with the Grindalids, or at least that is how Cerenda felt. She felt outmatched at every turn with the devious worms. Master Koroba had given her the simple instructions to free the hostages, but do not allow the Grindalids to complete their war fleet. But that was all the slimy dogs wanted, and every line of compromise held a secret path to that end. Cerenda’s sense of calm and detachment was getting sorely tested. So it was when Master Koroba relayed to her the hostages had been rescued, her negotiations had only been a distraction. Cerenda would give her master a piece of her mind when they met again.

Crater Makay - M-113 “Salt Vampire” Mercenary
A Star Wars/Star Trek Mash Up[/b]
The denizens of M-113 were once a sprawling and highly advanced people. But the catastrophic exhaustion of resources, left the people starving for salts necessary for their biology. Decimated, some of the M-113ers fled to the stars while the rest of the population starved. Scavengers and looters who visited M-113 began to tell tales of a race driven to primitive madness, attacking anyone they found and sucking the precious minerals from their bodies. This combined with strange telepathic images drove people to start referring to M-113 as the Planet of Salt Vampires. The refugees in space began to experience retribution and prejudice, driving them into less legal fields of employment. So it was the Crater Makay became a gun for hire. His fearsome appearance and flawless aim have earned him a sought after fighter.
The head is an original caste from Loren Sharpe. Torso is GI Joe ROC Deep Six. The legs are GI Joe Steel Brigade. The helmet is GI Joe Crankcase with a scope made from a SW Lightsaber handle. The back pack and the rifle are Fortnite.

DST-864 – “Rust Bucket” - Service Droid
“Rust Bucket” … that’s what the old man called him. DST-864 had a designation, but Corporal Ragg just called him “Rust Bucket”. It wasn’t DST-864’s fault the Corporal got assigned to maintain the mining outpost. It wasn’t DST-864 who was drinking on the job when those Rebels slipped past the patrol and got busted down to “dirt duty” for incompetence. DST-864 was a proud droid, proud at how he maintained the mining droids and the ore processor. Proud of his heritage as a DST unit the heartiest of the service droids. He would not endure this mere human’s disrespect. So it was no surprise when Corporal Ragg “accidentally” fell down Shaft 23 on Thursday, to his untimely demise.

Grahorrah - Wookie Bounty Hunter
Grahorrah had been too long away from Kashyyyk. He could no longer reach back in his thoughts to smell the trees and hear the birds. The hum of the engine and the memories of those he had hurt were all the filled his mind anymore. Too much time in the stars and not enough with solid dirt beneath his feet. The life of a bounty hunter had served its need, but it was time to go home. Damn the slavers and the Imperial blockade, he would step foot on his home-world or die trying.

Lepi are criminal scum, it is their lot in the galaxy. Ionus had heard that so many times on planet after planet, it was inevitable he would seek to make it true. If he was going to get called a scoundrel, then he would at least play the role and reap the rewards. Working his way up on crews throughout the underworld, he scrounged enough to buy his own ship and start making his own runs. He kept to himself, occasionally bringing on specials crewman for special jobs, but never keeping any one around all the time. Less trouble and more profits for himself. He learned the lessons the galaxy threw at him well and made out like a bandit.

K2-I09 – Droid Bounty Hunter
The K2-I series were designed for infiltration, reconnaissance and espionage. When the Empire commissioned them they were still running down the allies of the Old Republic and head off a rebellion. Once war with the Rebellion opened up in full, The K2-I’s became unnecessary and the program was scrapped. But programming droid for such independent spy work, also means they were not keen to be decommissioned. So many fled and like K2-I09 turned to skip tracing as a way to survive. Cold and calculating, K2-S09 had not met a bounty he could not outwit or outgun.

Rojo-463 – Heavy Security Droid
Being a holo-star required security … serious security. So Raphhy Sunchaser bought the top of the line, the Rojo 400 series. Four of the big things, painted gem red for style. It seemed like such a good idea until that night the fans rushed the door at Corusant Bowl. He should have checked the droid protocols more closely. Raphhy watched his star fall as Rojo-463 and his brothers opened up on the crowd jamming the backstage halls. There would be no coming back for poor Raphhy’s career after that.

Skittoroid - Commerce Guild Security Droid
Everyone was impressed when the Colcoids introduced the Droidekas with their massive combat potential. But many, and especially members of the Commerce Guild found them too imposing and militaristic for their tastes. So they commissioned the Skitteroids. Less mobile then the Droideka, but with higher neural processing and language memory, they Skitteroid can act as security and protocol. An order that would have provided a full sic Skitteroid contingent for every Commerce Guild ship was under way when war broke out and manufacturing switched to military production. Unfortunately the model was not continued after the Clone Wars ended.
Eye is Fortnite Fusion Orb Back Bling. The main body is a diving propeller from a set I cannot remember. The arms are SW Destroyer Droid (Droideka). The lower body and legs are from the walker that comes with SW Mission Fleet Darth Maul.

But the Force provides, and Sonka used this as an opportunity to expand his role as a Jedi. He used the force to see the world anew without eyes and his combat prowess improved 100 fold. Using special gauntlets he became unparalleled in martial combat, especially hand to hand. He used this to train younglings and padawan at the Temple, much the appreciation of the Council.

The Force is Logic, in spite of what you might think. Its rules might seem like emotion, but they are merely the hard and unfeeling laws if the universe unlocked for those with the proper discipline.

He had calculated and assessed and finally bent the great binding Force to his will, the will of Logic.

Thanks Jdeck. That bike was a beast to put together. I picked that Generator Rex bike up maybe 10 years ago and knew I wanted to use it, but the rider is minded into the cycle. I ended up not only replacing the seat in the middle, but having to carve out foot hold on the back part. And the seal up the holes those made. It was a mess, but it ended up well.

Azokk of Tricerton was a rarity for his race. Aggressive and violent, the Triceratons sought to expand their empire through force. Azokk had long ago learned to redirect these compulsions and sough peace through the Force. So it was that the Jedi Council sent Azokk to negotiate some kind treaty to stop the Triceraton expansion. Little did Azokk know that while he was in orbit trying to forge a cease fire, Triceraton High Command was testing a Kyber crystal fuel super weapon, and precursor to the dreaded Death Star.

Captain Krvoijac – Pau’an Pirate
Most Pau’an have small sensitive ears they protect with specially designed high collar clothing. But one in a thousand are born with a mutation that gives them both protruding ears but also a greater auditory tolerance. Young Krvoijac was one of these anomalies, and anomalies are not treated kindly in Pau’an culture. So Krvoijac fled Utapau. He scrapped around on the core worlds, engaging in petty crime until he signed on with the crew of the pirate vessel, The Blood Claw. Krovijac excelled in his new job, merciless, blood thirsty, devious. He cut his way up through the ranks, both actually and figuratively, until one day he left the Captain bleeding to death on the bridge of a ship they had just raided. Stealing the Captain’s title, ship and crew, Captain Krvoijac finally home.

CB-490 – Protocol Droid
CB-490 was in charge of communications for Outpost 76. He controlled all the incoming and outgoing messages for the six man crew that patrolled and maintained the listening station. If something vital was to be transmitted or received it was on CB-490 shoulders. And that is exactly why the raiding party hacked his systems. CB-490 was a proud and independent droid, but he was no match for that alluring software that wormed its way into CB-490’s mechanical brain. He spilled all the secrets, so it was no problem to lure the crew away on a false alarm and strip the station to its bolts. Poor CB-490 could only live with his shame … at least until the memory wipe.

Dr. Evazan might have played the role of the mad scientist, but he never held a candle to the horrors Dr. Vagus brought to be in this galaxy. Like his Illithid brethren who dwelled in the underworld of Faerûn, Vagus was obsessed with stripping the psyche of intelligent beings. While Evazan made the Decraniated, Dr. Vagus combines surgical techniques along with psionic reconstruction to create a power full order of soldiers, The Githyanki. Now that the process nears perfections, Dr. Vagus has scheduled a meeting of all the most powerful warlords, crime lords, and Galactic Governors to auction off this most horrible creation.

Feldo Sparks – Drabatan Smuggler
Feldo Sparks never let harsh feeling get in the way of a good deal. He saved it like fine wine and let it all out once the caper was done. The snivvian, Porcus, had been rubbing him wrong since they had first sat down at the cantina table to lay out the job. The slimy snaggletooth had nearly gotten them all busted a half dozen times with his sloppiness and wagging tongue. But he was one with the codes and could not be dispensed with. Feldo kept his cool and at long last they were storing the loot in the stolen freighter. As the last crate was loaded Porcus said something smart, taking credit for the whole score and petitioning the boss for a larger cut. Feldo slid up behind him quiet and two quick shots from the blaster settled things. Porcus’s body rolled down the gangplank and they lifted into the air.

G1-NZ00 – Culinary Service Droid
To disappoint a Hutt is to risk being decommissioned. Not memory wiped and sold off, but torn limb from limb on the technorack. G1-NZ00 knew this was always trying to impress his master. Gundark Tartare, Tauntaun Rolls, Pickled Gungan Feet … always seeking to one up himself. Felician Stone Fruit Salsa, Twi’lek Pepper Sauce, Corellian Spice Blends ... one step ahead of the scrap heap. And G1-NZ00 was at the top of his game.

G-M03 – Protocol/Security Droid
G-M03 waited in the alley as the rain drizzled down from the upper levels. Coruscant might be the crown jewel in the Empire, but the lower levels were as diseased and dark as the Emperors heart. G-M03 tried to act casual, as casual as a 7 foot droid lugging a set of security canisters can look. He scanned the passing crowd looking for threats, waiting for the buyers signal. Rogesh the Unsavory always sent G-M03 for his drops, the droid had proven more than capable. At least three times G-M03’s quick calculation had prevented a double cross and saved Rogesh a fortune. So G-M03 waited, ready for trouble and equally ready to be done and out of the rain.

Jeelah – Rodian Bounty Hunter
Jeelah was big for a Rodian, Standing almost a heat taller than most males, let alone the diminutive females. She was mocked at academy for her size, but there were few who could beat her in a foot race or on the obstacle course. She also excelled at combat training, using her speed and agility to outwit even blaster wielding opponents. But the old prejudices never went away and in spite of her skill she was drummed out of the Civilian Force. That’s when H’Arko found her, and took her under his wing. He taught her the ways of the skip tracer, and together they ran bounties across the galaxy. Brains and unlikely brawn paid handsomely.

Sgt. Klaggah – Trandoshan Rebel Trooper
Sgt. Klaggah waited in the frozen trench at the Battle of Hoth. He was Trandoshan so the cold did not agree with him, but the Empire disagreed with his sensibilities even more. He had been with the Rebellion for two years now and still he thirsted for Imperial blood. They had taken everything from him and he intended to return the favor. The ground shook as the Walkers approached, ghosts in the looming in the distant fog. Klaggah checked the setting on his RPS-6 rocket launcher and yelled for his men to hold steady. A smile crept across his reptilian face as the head of the first AT-At became clear. He flashed the one-clawed salute and let his rocket fly, crying “havoc” in the frozen air.

SK-07 “Skrapper” – Salvage Droid
Skrapper tore into the cargo hold of the transport speeder being careful to only cut the already damaged panels. Kraocko the Junker would not like it if he ruined good replacement parts. This was Skrapper’s fourth transport for the day and he was going to need to replace the saw blade soon as it was dulling out on him. That’s when his eye caught the terrified face of the Ugnaught hiding in the back of the hold. The creature motioned for Skrapper to keep quiet and Skrapper thought “Who am I gonna tell?” Old Kraocko would be passed out at the cantina by now and Serv-O DUM Droids were charging. The Ugnaught motioned him closer, “Help me escape and I can give you a new life.” Skrapper was intrigued and so the adventure began.

Stakota - Advozse Jedi
The dream was always the same, Stakota standing at the edge of the volcano, reaching out with the Force to hold back the eruption. He could hear the panicked screams of the villagers behind him as they were rushing to board the evacuation vehicle. He could feel the heart of the planet, Riflor, pressing to explode out and bath the world in molten rock. Stakota reached deep within himself and focused all of his will to push back against the planet. Someone behind him cried all clear and he heard the transports engines whine and then fade away into the distance. His relief broke his concentration just enough that the volcano surge and a wave of lava came sweeping towards him. And that’s when he awoke, drenched in sweat and breathing heavy. He calmed his mind and reminded himself he was still alright. He was surely seeing his own demise, but he still had time … hopefully.

Never mind no one had seen a mynock since the first week they had set up. Either way, just send in trusty old EC-1-9 to clear those pests out. Arm him up with a ionization blaster and let him take care of it. Who cares what EC-1-9 thinks of this plan. He's just a service droid, better suited to repairs that pest control. But he's small enough to fit in the vents so it's a “great plan.” EC-1-9 was planning exactly how to go AWOL when he found the eggs. It wasn't mynocks … it was something much much worse.

So it was for Gromek who crewed out with the Ghost Shackle hauling bounties back to the Central Core. Gromek is fearsome and armed to the teeth. There have been more than a few bounties that just surrendered rather than face Gromek's relentless hunt.

KLZ-11 was not taking responsibility for this, with the old data they should have missed the wells by almost a million miles, but Rift consumed a white star a week earlier increasing its mass into their path. Captain Kolcoro had forced them to depart early, trembling with fear after receiving order directly from Lord Vader. And now where were they? No completing this oh so important mission, but adrift and running out of supplies. KLZ-11 would never understand humans and their useless emotions always mucking things up.

The ejection controls were fried and pulled on the stick trying to soften the angle is decent, but it was no use. Crash ... explosion … darkness … this is all Kolores Yago remembered. When he again awoke he was in a med-center at the planet's capital. He knew there was something wrong, how much it burned to breath. Twelve surgeries later and he was more machine than man. But his mind still knew how to hunt, so when he was ready he took up blaster and returned to his trader. Hunting the runners, finding to quarry, returning the bounties. With so much taken from his body, it was only the hunt that fulfilled him any more, and he was always starving.

Commander Hannibal – Blood Squadron Commander
A Star Wars/A-Team Mash Up
The Blood Squadron was formed from the remnants of the Green and Silver squadrons and reconstituted with several new pilots recruited from the outer rim. The Blood Squadron was tasked with striking Imperial Garrisons along the Outer Rim in order to liberate and recruit as many new planets as possible. They are led by a disgraced imperial captain who goes by the code name Hannibal. Many of the members of the squadron represent the last known survivors of their individual species.
Commander Hannibal was a man of vision, and he knew better than anyone that tragedy and desperation could make a common soldier a hero. As a officer for the Republic turned Empire he refused to compromise his values. But that integrity was seen as a threat under the Empire and he saw everything he so dearly valued and loved striped away in the blink of an eye. The Rebellion was happy to have him and gave him free reign in his command. Remembering how loss had forged him, he began to assemble the Blood Squadron. Where others saw orphans, outcasts, and pariahs, Hannibal saw potential. Aboard his frigate, The Plan, he honed these pilots into a razor sharp knife he used to cut a swath through the empire's hold on the Outer Rim. Hannibal believes in the Blood Squadron and his troops are fiercely loyal to him.

Thanks Starchaser. I thought the A-Team would make a good addition to my Blood Squadron. The theelin came together nicely. I've been trying to find a use for some Avatar parts. Same with the Vitruvian Aztec club. It's just been sitting around waiting for the right figure. An I like the look of small charaters wielding oversized weapons.

Togorian Pirate
Stival - captain of a Carrack class light cruiser he has aptly christened "The Freebooter." As a cub, Stival watched swashbuckler holovids for hours, shows like "The Legends of Crimson Jack" and "Adventures of the Star-Hoppers." Though teased mercilessly by his clanmates and often told to get his "head out of the clouds" by his brothers and father, he maintained a romantic notion of becoming a roguish adventurer. Then, one day, he returned from a short visit to the Togorian capitol Caross to see his mother to find the camp destroyed and everyone gone. Assuming they'd been captured by slavers, Stival returned to Caross and signed on to a starship crew. He made it his mission to find his father and brothers and would learn shooting and flying from anyone who would teach him. He eventually fell in with a pirate crew and built a reputation for himself, overtime earning his own ship and establishing his own crew. A very capable pirate, he never lost his sense of the romance of adventure. Media outlets started to call him "Stival the Stylish" or sometimes "The Gentleman Freebooter." But those who encountered him knew he was not to trifled with. Under the polite demeanor, sometimes playful manner, and unusual headgear was a cunning mind, iron determination and untamable battle fury. Stival is a stern leader who demanded absolute loyalty but is deeply respected by his crew and feared by his enemies. Among space pirates he is ranked with honor among the likes of Hondo Ohnaka, Sidon Ithano and Vaari Esrin.
A note on the name: The name Stival comes from the Italian "stivali" which means "boots". The first Puss in Boots story recorded was in Italian, "Il gatto con gli stivali"

Just one entry? :) Sion looks really good and I like the concept for your give-away figure.
Thanks, Tamer. I'm a sucker for Jawas!

How about:
Togorian Pirate
Stival - captain of a Carrack class light cruiser he has aptly christened "The Freebooter." As a cub, Stival watched swashbuckler holovids for hours, shows like "The Legends of Crimson Jack" and "Adventures of the Star-Hoppers." Though teased mercilessly by his clanmates and often told to get his "head out of the clouds" by his brothers and father, he maintained a romantic notion of becoming a roguish adventurer. Then, one day, he returned from a short visit to the Togorian capitol Caross to see his mother to find the camp destroyed and everyone gone. Assuming they'd been captured by slavers, Stival returned to Caross and signed on to a starship crew. He made it his mission to find his father and brothers and would learn shooting and flying from anyone who would teach him.

Celty Astor – Human Assassin
Celty Astor is a member of the House of Vexis, and assassin's guild operating on the lower levels for Coruscant. The members of the House of Vexis are known for drawing in their prey with sexuality and striking when their target is most vulnerable. Where most members of the House of Vexis routinely switch between kill and no kill jobs, Celty Astor is only an assassin. She has no interest in hassles of capturing her quarry, only in the simplicity of the kill. She has had her body heavily modified with biological and cybernetic modifications, well-hidden enhancements that allow her to easily overcome her targets. A simple vibro-blade and light blaster are all she needs to get the job done.
Head is Xyber-9 Anakonda. The torso, upper arms and upper legs are Marvel X-23. The lower arms and hands are SW Cato Parasiti. The lower legs are Marvel Female Thor. The cloak is from a McDonalds Brats Figure.

DST-4BL00 “Blue Boy” Service Droid
DST-4BL00 toiled away on the deck of the skiff, trying to get the inertial dampeners calibrated to smooth the ride. “BLUE BOY, WHAT’S THE HOLD UP?” shouted Boss Horrah, “I’m spilling my drink over here!” Blue Boy’s circuits twinged at the command. If he could get this restraining bolt loose he might shove the fat old Rodian over the edge. Blue Boy tweaked the control and the ride smoothed out. “Took you long enough,” shouted Horrah, and the old gangster hurled his goblet at the droid. The throw fell short and bounced on the deck. The angle could not have been more perfect as the metal cup struck the restraining bolt and tore it from Blue Boy’s chassis. Blue Boy’s optic sensor flashed red … it was time to settle the score!
The tracks and body are from a Dollar Tree tank and fueling station and the arms are SW Battle Droid. The face/eye unit is the pack from a SW Battle Droid. The back pack is from a Final Faction accessory set. I cannot remember where the blade came from, but the shovel is from Showdown Bandit Miss Undertaker figure.
(https://www.moronarama.com/customs/sw-c-en kallet heavy weapons jawa01.jpg)
En’Kallet - Heavy Weapons Jawa
There is a little known caste among the Jawas, one not known outside the clans, the Kshatriya Warret … the heavy warrior. Only the very strongest of the younglings are taken from the crawlers deep into hidden caves where they are trained on the use of heavy weapons and armor. Then they are returned to defend the clan from outside threats. En’Kallet was a strong and able warrior who had trained specifically with anti-vehicle weapons. There are few who would dare to face him in combat and his Crawler was the safest in the Dune Sea.
Head is Warhammer 40K Chibi Skitarii Ranger. Upper torso is SW Clone Trooper. Arms and cloth skirt are SW Zuckuss, Lower torso is Fortnite Teknique. Legs are Zak Storm Crogar. The heavy repeater blaster is from a Lanard CORPS! figure and the cable and pack are from an SW Baze Malbus.
(https://www.moronarama.com/customs/sw-c-goosub ewok mechanic01.jpg)
Goosub – Ewok Mechanic
As Captain Cole waited he could hear the angry chattering coming from deep inside the engine housing. He could not understand any of it, but the tone was clear, Goosub was having trouble sorting out the hyperdrive. The two of them had learned to communicate with some basic hand signals and grunts, but it was enough. Goosub was the best ships mechanic Cole had ever worked with. In spite of the trouble they had speaking, Goosub kept the Wing of Dawn is tip top shape. Or at least as much as Cole was willing to lose time to regular maintenance and new parts. There was a loud clang followed by a triumphant cheer and the Ewok climbed out of the hatch grinning. Thanks to Goosub, the Wing of Dawn would live to fly another day!
Head, body, arms and legs are SW Chief Chirpa. I have no idea where the vest and helmet came from. The wrench is from Fortnite Jules figure.

A Star Wars/Scud the Disposable Assassin Mashup
This is very much a rip off/homage of I-Am-Boba-Fett’s IG-SCD “Heartbreaker” Bounty Hunter Droid (http://www.imperialshipyards.net/SMF/index.php?topic=3778.msg188032#msg188032 (http://www.imperialshipyards.net/SMF/index.php?topic=3778.msg188032#msg188032)).

(https://www.moronarama.com/customs/sw-c-kabbo salunkas ilthorian minister01.jpg)
Kabbo Salunkas – Ilthorian Minister
Kabbo Salunkas was getting too old for this nonsense. He had been happily enjoying a late afternoon cocktail when Senator Amidala burst into his office yelling about conspiracy. Silly young thing, so easily excited. Just that morning Chancellor Palpatine had personally assured him of the safeguards in place to prevent anyone from enacting the kind of coup the poor girl was ranting about now. And if you could not trust the Chancellor, who could you trust. Yes, yes of course he would attend the meeting with Senator Mothma and Senator Organa. Yes of course. Right after he had a hot bath and a bit of dinner. And possibly a nap. Yes that sounded about right to these old bones. Indeed.
Head is original sculpt in ApoxySculpt with water beads for eyes. The torso and arms are SW Orn Free Taa. The hands are SW Ki Adi Mundi. The scarf is from SW Kuiil. The staff is made from Hobo Luke (Island Luke from Last Jedi) and Redakai Spykor

Who else could have crossed the Dune Sea on the Trail of Souls and not only lived but came back stronger and with the Second Sight? None beside Ohasu Huubi could claim all these victories and only Ohasu Huubi could be trusted to lead the Tokka Clan!

(https://www.moronarama.com/customs/sw-c-qy adoza pyke jedi01.jpg)
Qy Adoza - Pyke Jedi
It was rare for a Pyke to exhibit force powers and rarer still for one to be identified be for the child is turned over to the syndicate for induction. But this was the case with Master Qy Adoza, who flourished in his studies at the Jedi Temple. In spite of the Pyke reputation for ruthlessness and violence, Master Qy was the model of peace and thoughtfulness. His studies focused him on studying the history of the galaxy and his mission we often archeological in nature. And while he may have appeared overly studious, he was a Master, capable of using the Force most effectively in the defense to the weak and down trodden.
Head is SW Quay Tolsite. The torso, arms and legs are Cold Weather Plo Koon. The hands are Vitruvian HACKS Robot. The breather pack is from a SW Stormtrooper.
(https://www.moronarama.com/customs/sw-c-r13-q9 imperial astromech droid01.jpg)
R13-Q9 – Imperial Astromech Droid
It was another slow day at Outpost 613. This made for 286 of them in a row. And that was only because a freight dropped off fresh supplies that day. R13-Q9 didn’t mind, he was a droid after all, capable of finding meaning in the most menial of tasks. And it was a lot better since they moved the garrison to three systems away. Nothing ruined the order of a well ordered outpost than a bunch of bored troopers. Just then the claxons went off, signaling the arrival of a vessel by the long range sensors. Strange, there was nothing scheduled to arrive here for some time, but there was an Imperial Shuttle clearly setting itself up for a second hyperspace jump. And just like that, the shuttle was gone. It was clear from the trajectory it was heading to the garrison where the other troopers had gone. Why anyone would waste time on a back water like the Endor system, who knew. R13-Q9 busied himself with his duties now that all that excitement had passed.
The legs are SW Build a Droid Astromech legs. The upper body is the arm from a modular dollar store robot. The lower body is part of the chest from a SW Battle Droid. The eye is the back of a BIC Pen.
(https://www.moronarama.com/customs/sw-c-sk-21 salvage droid01.jpg)
SK-21 - Salvage Droid
SK 21 looked at a hulk of the freighter and then look at his data pad. He looked at the freighter again and then back to the data pad. He’d been doing this for about 15 minutes at this point. He couldn’t decide if the plans on the data pad were incorrect, or that the freighter it’s been so heavily modified it they no longer fit the specs. He’d been tasked with removing out the hyperdrive cores before cutting the rest of the beast in the scrap. The scrap master, Kongo, had told SK-21 the scan was busted and to just work of the specs. But SK-21 also know if he started cutting and damaged the cores that he’s never hear the end of it from Kongo. SK-21 signed the sigh of a frustrated droid. He decided it was a good time for a recharge and walked away from the whole mess. Things might make more sense in about an hour. Maybe two.
Head is a Fortnite A.I.M. backpack. The torso and arms are a SW jetpack accessory. Left hand is from a Vitruvian HACKS Robot set. The right hand is from Zak Storm Caramba. Legs are SW Mission Fleet IG-11.

There are lots of great combinations in here ;D :) I really like the Doughboy Stormtrooper and the Ruckus Tusken, but they're all good. The backstories are a lot of fun. I like that you used Anakonda head, I've got one to customize with as well.

Captain Quirridos – Quarren Smuggler
The Flash of Wryte buzzed through the sky, evading the oncoming imperial patrol at the last second. Captain Quirridos swore he was not going to lose another shipment. The tie fighters wheeled around and closed in on the smuggler’s ship. Quirridos flipped a switch and the AI took control of the quad laser turret sending laser bolts at the trailing ties. Another switch was flipped and the ship released a cloud of metal chaff shot out obscuring the Imperial sensors. Captain Quirridos rolled and jammed the stick forward. The quad gun stayed locked on the fighters, blasting away as the ship dove. The first tie was hit and spun out of control into the second. The sky lit up with fire. Quirridos pulled back hard on the yoke and took the ship into the stratosphere. Pulling the AI back to task the Wryte began calculating the jump to hyperspace. Captain Quirridos had made his escape again.

DST-355 – Service Droid
In the sewer of New Calrotta there were lots of things that needed repair. There were lines that needed clearing and pipes that needed refitting. There were also 20 foot tentacle lizards and toothy crabs always looking to tear the CPU out of some poor droid, This is where DST-355 lived and where she ruled. She had lasted longer than any unit in the city works and had a spotless task completion record. DST-355 ruled the drains of New Calrotta like a queen!

(https://www.moronarama.com/customs/sw-c-ik-45 assassin droid01.jpg)
IK-45 – Assassin Droid
IK-45 stepped into the plaza and scanned the area. Twelve men stood in phalanx positioning before him ... six more on the far roof … another five on the second floor of the opposite building. Thermal scan showed four creeping up from the rear to close the box. It was time to get this show started. IK-45 wheeled the arm blaster in a low wide arc and let loose on the dozen standing before him. The handgun was toggled to incendiary rounds which he launched across the roof above. He began a fast jerky dance avoiding most of the return fire. His arms began swinging quickly but precisely as he worked through the remaining thugs. His sensors could hear the screaming of the burning men on the roof and his thermal scans could detect the cooling bodies of the dead. In less than a minute the 27 men who started were either dead or dying and IK-45 has only minor scorching on his end. Now it was time for the real business as he approached the offices of the mayor … his designated target for assassination.
The head is the foot from a Thunderbirds M.A.X. robot and the neck if part of an SW IG-88 arm. The torso and legs are SW Build a Droid Death Start Droid. The arms are SW IG Assassin Droid. The forearm cannon is from a Marvel Mechanical Man. The blaster if from a Halo weapons locker.

IT-4RD – Interrogation Droid
Balobo, the interrogator always kept IT-4RD in pristine sparkling condition. Balobo was a professional after all. Never mind that he worked for the greasy Hutts. His operation was immaculate and he provided nothing but the finest results to the criminal syndicates that paid him. IT-4RD shined polished red in the lights if the interrogation chamber. Balobo’s target sat before them strapped into the chair/
“My dear lad,” he said. “I wish I could say this wasn’t going to hurt, but you and I both know that’s a lie.” IT-4RD green eye flared brightly and he moved towards the chair.
Head is a SW Sith Probe Droid. The body, upper arms and legs are an Iron Man Fury Files Silver. The right forearm is Anakin Skywalker and the left forearm is a Playmobil piece.
(https://www.moronarama.com/customs/sw-c-krz-46 navigation droid01.jpg)
KRZ-46 – Navigation Droid
As the ship was drawn into the gravity well of blackhole, KRZ-46 ran the calculations again. How could he, a top KR series navigations droid have made this mistake? The calculations were correct, they should have skirted the anomaly by a safe margin … but here they were … trapped … doomed. He ran a full logic matrix diagnostic. Nothing there. He cross referenced against the current start charts and that’s where he found the error. Someone had tampered with the charts. But that could only mean one thing: someone at corporate had sabotaged the run. Someone wanted the shipment and crew lost. Someone was a murder. But as least KRZ-46 thought, “It wasn’t my fault.”
Head us Power Rangers Movie Alpha-5. The torso, upper arms and legs are Big Hero 6 Hiro Yamato. The forearms are SW Clone Wars IG Assassin Droid. The data pad is Dino Valley.

He has been assigned to negotiate a peace deal between the Trianii and the Sakiyans. Things had been going well before this hitman tried to kill the Sakiyan ambassador. Pando knew he needed to try and capture the killer hired killer alive, to try and find out exactly who hire him, but the task was proving difficult. The assassin was clearly well trained and familiar with the neighborhood, but Pando persisted. At last Pando saw his chance, a weakened set of girders ahead of his prey. Reaching out with the Force he strained at the supports until he felt them give way, blocking the narrow corridor. The hitman stopped short of the crashing metal and spun on the Jedi. Now, Pando thought, time to get some answers!

R2-B0 & Fidi Lo – Astromech Droid and Jedi Youngling
Fidi Lo was one of the most gifted young Jedi Master Yoda had ever seen. Her lightsaber work was adequate for her age, and so was her piloting. But her skill with robotics was uncanny in a way that only the force can allow for. She could take the most useless scraps of droid parts and transform them Into a wonderful machine with multiple uses. This is how R2-P0 was born. While, most young ladies are not allowed to have such possessions, Yoda could not help but allow the young child to keep the merry little Astromech. R2-B0 had been specially modified to act as fast transport for Fidi Lo. She could be seen zipping through the halls of the temple, rushing from workshop to library and back. Hunting down new spec sheets and spare parts. Fidi Lo and R2-B0 were inseparable.

Steeljacket – Droid Bounty Hunter
Steeljacket eased and few millimeters to the left and checked his sight again. On target. He switched to passive sensors and waited. The trap was set and all was ready. As the Rodian stepped out onto the balcony as ultraviolet sensor was tripped and the EMP began charging. The target lingered on the terrace sipping wine and enjoying the view. There was a pulse and everything went dark. Security systems were down. Steeljacket raised up and fired two shots past the Rodian’s head. The Rodian naturally panicked, but with the house dark, he scrambled over the balcony railing and jumped to the garden below. Only two exits from the garden and one suddenly became flooded with noxious gas. The Rodian fled through the second and into the woods that surrounded the house. He was 100 yards down the cleared path when the net swooped him up. Steeljacket came around a tree a second later and stunned the poor fellow. 30 seconds and bounty was bagged. Two minutes later they were on Steeljacket’s ship which began lifting off as soon as his feet hit the deck. By the time the local authorities arrived at the house, Steeljacket was breaking atmo and setting course for hyperspace. Steeljacket would be cashing in his credits long before they put everything together.

Spicy Womp Rat Café & Baalik – Jawa Noodle Hut and Bar
If you find yourself at the Norrique Outpost and you’re looking for a hot bowl of noodles or a stiff drink, you should definitely check out the Spicy Womp Rat. It’s run by a Jawa name of Baalik, who makes traditional Jawa noodle bowls, just like they do on Tatooine. He also can mix you up any drink under the twelve suns to ease you worried mind. Five out of Five stars. The Spicy Womp Rat is the place to go!

Amos Sungazer arrived on the Planet Crispin and began unloading his gear. In the morning he would be in the flats outside of town preparing to run the Pan Galactic Parsec Race. Amos was excited, this was his first major race since the accident 4 years ago. A collision had left him blind and scarred. Amos was able to pay for surgery to get cybernetic eyes, but it cost him all he had saved. He has spent the last three years clawing his way back up in the minor circuits. Tomorrow, he though with a grin, he would be back in the game for real.

Boss Quig - Cyclopian Gangster
Boss Quig eased back in his chair and waited for his guest. A corpulent Twi’lek In a tailored suit waddled in and sat across the table from him.
“I like what you’ve done with the place,” the chubby alien quipped.
“To what do I owe the pleasure, Boss Takonda?” asked Boss Quig.
“I think we both know why I’m here, Quig. You though I would find out about your deal with the Hutts? You think you’re pretty clever trying to squeeze me out of my territory,” spoke Takonda.
“I’m sorry, Boss Takonda. I didn’t expect you to find out about this for a couple more days. I’d hoped to be able to convince you to just walk away, but I guess it’s too late for that now,” said Quig.
With the Boss Quig stamped down on the pedal by his foot. Searing beams erupted from below Boss Takonda’s chair and his body disintegrated into lost screams and vapor. Blaster fire from the hall let him know Takonda’s guards were also taken care of. A new days was dawning for crime in the Outer Rim!

C1-CL0 “Cyclops” - Astromech Droid
C1-CL0, or Cyclops as he was called on Kufi Station, ran his sensors over the scene again to make sure he understood what he was seeing. As an older Astromech, he often had to reanalyze data until his CPU could catch up. Cyclops was sure … that was a dewback jammed in the exhaust port for the stations starboard stabilizer engine. The poor thing was dead from the vacuum of space. This didn’t help solve the puzzle though. If it had been stuck in the intake vent, maybe Cyclops could concoct a scenario where is was accidentally blown out an airlock, but in the exhaust vent this had to be some kind of strange sabotage. Cyclops churned away for a minute creating a list of possible suspects. Once he was done he would report back to the constable station and report his findings to the chief. There was never a dull day on Kufi Station.

Captain Xeros - Rodian Mercenary
Captain Xeros was the leader of one of the toughest mercenary crews in the Outer Rim, the Agato’s Edge. The crew comprised mostly of disillusioned soldiers for various planetary armies, folks tired of living on scraps while generals and politicians lived in luxury. Xeros was careful not to recruit anyone too crazy or too bloodthirsty, but sometime beggars cannot be choosers. Xeros’s careful planning and follow through has given the Edge a reputation as a group that can get any job done.

Corporal Laa-Kaan - Gran Mercenary
Corporal Laa-Kaan has crewed with the Agato’s Edge Merc Crew longer that anyone aside from their captain, Xeros. Laa-Kaan spend 15 years on the Gran Security Force before he was discharged for insubordination. Specifically tried to shove his commanding officer out and airlock after said officer’s incompetence lead to the deaths of six soldiers in their unit. Laa-Kaan drifted around for a while, until Xeros picked him up for the Agato’s Edge. Laa-Kaan is a tough fighter who’s not afraid to get dirty, specializing in long arms and light explosives.

(http://www.moronarama.com/customs/sw-c-elkerios ilthorian smuggler01.jpg)
Elkerios - Ilthorian Smuggler
Elkerios specialized in smuggling droids and droid parts. Particularly the older Separatist models that had been banned after the war. It was tricky work, as you might find yourself under siege by your own cargo if you didn’t get everything locked down just right. But that’s why Elkerios had Bessie, a Clone Wars Era EMP Launcher, perfect for “resetting” any pesky droid who got a mind to make a run at him. It gave regular being a pretty good zap, so with Bessie in hand, Elkerios could handle most any problem that came along.
(http://www.moronarama.com/customs/sw-c-felix jontaco togorian bounty hunter01.jpg)
Felix Jontaco - Togorian Bounty Hunter
When most people thought of Togorians they thought of bulging muscly creatures ready to pounce. So most bounties were surprised when they say Felix Jontaco strolling their way. Some might even laugh, but it would likely be their last. What Felix lacked in physical strength, he more than made up for in smarts and experience. He knew every skip-traces’ moves before they knew it themselves. It bordered on psychic, but when you had been hunting as long as Felix Jontaco you just knew how it was going to go down. And they always ended up caught when Felix was around, always.
(http://www.moronarama.com/customs/sw-c-ix-47 assassin droid01.jpg)
IX-47 - Assassin Droid
The IX series assassin droids were said to be a vast improvement of the IG and IR droids, but not everyone agreed. Professor Xerop Filg said he found the droids to be twitchy and prone to causing unnecessary collateral damage. Notable researcher C-4R0 said their more humanoid faces were creepy and may undermine the overall menacing affect that was gained from the cylinder heads of the previous models. Admiral Forakk however said they were great fun and killed loads of people which was exactly the point and he would like to order and whole battalion.

K’seko - Jawa Tribal Warrior
In the Dead Wastes nothing works. Static storms are nearly constant and nothing electrical will functions right. But there is still life there, and so there are Jawas. The Grey Hand Clan calls the wastes home and scavenges like all their kind. But they have had to learn to adapt without modern technology. Here the Tribal Warrior is the most honored of figures. Here K’seko is respected, master of the scap-bow, protector of the Tribe. K’seko, Slayer of the Gundarks. K’seko, Tracker of the Krayt Dragon. K’seko, Tribal Warrior of the Grey Hand Clan!
(http://www.moronarama.com/customs/sw-c-miin-ta trioc jed01.jpg)
Miin-Ta - Trioc Jedi
The padawan thought Master Miin-Ta might be grinning, but the more he thought about it the more he was sure the Master was grimacing. The padawan had hoped the old master would find some humor in the prank he had pulled, but when the weight hit Miin-Ta’s foot he was pretty sure the master’s sense of humor evaporated. Miin-Ta stared silently at the padawan and the boy became very nervous. Those blank Trioc eyes gave nothing away of the master’s mood, and the padawan was sure the punishment would be severe. Miin-Ta flexed his cybernetic hand and a sound that might have been a chuckle came from his throat. “Boy, you are lucky. I lost that foot in battle along with this hand. But let this be the end of your pranks, lest you end up half droid like me.”
(http://www.moronarama.com/customs/sw-c-r2-gnr gunner heavy combat astromech droid01.jpg)
R2-GNR “Gunner” - Heavy Combat Astromech Droid
One of the rare Heavy Combat Astromech Droids, R2-GNR or Gunner as it was called was without a doubt the most dangerous thing on the planetoid. Double plated armor and double fisted gyro-jets blasters, Gunner was a walking wrecking machine. He tore through the pirate base like a vibro-scalpel. This was the last time these pirates would ever kill again, the last time they would vent their captive crews into space. Oz Ryen watched his feed of Gunner from orbit, and the droid became the arm of his vengeance … of his justice. This was their bloody and inevitable end.
(http://www.moronarama.com/customs/sw-c-tread-l0 service droid01.jpg)
Tread-L0 - Service Droid
Tread-L0 moved through the towers of scrap looking for a replacement tread. The scrapyard foreman was done for the day and so Tread-L0 spent his evenings hunting for parts to keep himself functioning. There in a pile he found the bottom end of another Treadwell droid. A bit of cutting with his torch and the tread was free. Tread-L0 would return to his charging station and switch out is worn out tread for this newer one. After a night of charging he would start again, the simple life of a scrap droid.
(http://www.moronarama.com/customs/sw-c-bs-jeriba drac pilot01.jpg)
Jeriba Shigan – Drac X-Wing Pilot
The Blood Squadron was formed from the remnants of the Green and Silver squadrons and reconstituted with several new pilots recruited from the outer rim. The Blood Squadron was tasked with striking Imperial Garrisons along the Outer Rim in order to liberate and recruit as many new planets as possible. They are led by a disgraced imperial captain who goes by the code name Hannibal. Many of the members of the squadron represent the last known survivors of their individual species.
The Drac had been engaged in a long and hard war against their human counterparts in their home system. When the Empire rose to power, they intervened in the war and decimated the Dracs. The system came into Imperial control and the remaining Drac were enslaved. Jeriba Shingan was one of the Drac most cunning pilots, but he was downed in a dogfight with a human, Willis Davidge, who also crashed. The pair were stranded on the planet Fyrine IV, and it was during this time the Empire seized control of the system. Initially bitter enemies, Willis and Jeriba discovered they needed each other to survive on the hostile planet. They eventually came to be friends, and when they were finally rescued both joined the Blood Squadron to fight against the Empire.

Well, it's nice to see you are still at work. There are some interesting customs in there, I think the Drac pilot is my favorite.
-
I think the Ithorian is my favorite, but that Drak is close. I love that movie. Need to watch it again.
Off to share on the front pages. I hope you don't mind, but I added the eBay link. You can add some of these to your collection!
-
Thank you Starchaser and Tamer. I like how the card came out on the Drac better that the figure. I may try again to see if I can sculpt the brow ridges better. I like how the Ilthorian came out, but I'm willing to throw a Hammer-head on almost any high-collar torso :)
-
Another awesome batch. Can't really decide which i like the best. The astromech gunner is pretty rad!
-
I think your droids always end up being my favorite of your customs. They always have such interesting designs. [at1]
-
The Astro-Juggernauts are cool too. Reminds me of the Iron Man Hulk Buster Armor.

Thanks guys. I am digging making droids a lot lately, really trying to play around with weird parts. The Heavy Astromechs are a favorite. I'm working on one that’s more of that Hulkbuster size, maybe not as thick looking. I'll see if I can't get it finished soon.

So I made some more custom figures ... enjoy ...

(http://www.moronarama.com/customs/sw-c-ardorra xen chiss smuggler01.jpg)
Adorra Xen - Chiss Smuggler
“Walk softly and carry a big blaster” is a motto Adorra Xen had tried to live by. There was always someone trying to pull one over on you, so better to be prepared. A couple of well placed thermal detonators also never hurt in a tight spot. She might be a female, but she intended on holding her own in the boys club of the illegal spice trade. And hold her own she did.
(http://www.moronarama.com/customs/sw-c-a-tuk tusken warrior01.jpg)
A’Tuk - Tusken Warrior
Deep in the Xulropic Badlands, the U’vatal Tribe of Tuskens rule the deep desert. The greatest of their tribe is A’Tuk, Wielder of the Dragon Hammer. Stories tell of how A’Tuk single handedly defeated 100 Gravel Maggots when trapped in the Caverns of Despair at only 13 summers. He emerged, dripping in ichor and carrying the great hammer.
(http://www.moronarama.com/customs/sw-c-boteeko chadra fan bounty hunter0201.jpg)
Boteeko - Chadra Fan Bounty Hunter
Boteeko sniffed the air. He could smell the Whiphid’s musky odor in the cool air. The brute was nearly four times his size, but Boteeko wasn’t worried, he’d taken down larger. The Chadra Fan climbed to the top of the wall and peaked over. There he was, hunkered over a burner making a pot of food. Boteeko eased into position and unsheathed his rifle. He took careful aim and fired. Straight through the left eye. The beast grunted and collapsed dead. Boteeko touched the control on his wrist summoning his lifter droid. He might be able to kill a being this large, but he sure couldn’t carry it back to the ship on his own.
(http://www.moronarama.com/customs/sw-c-chk-chk xenomorph jedi01.jpg)
Chk-Chk - Xenomorph Jedi
A Star Wars/Aliens Mashup
In his dreams the Queen, his mother, still called to him. Chk-Chk had been found alone on LV-426 far from the colony where his brood had been destroyed. Master Kolunta had instantly sensed his power, and brought him to the temple for training. It was hard for Chk-Chk, he still felt the hive mind of his people severed like a phantom limb, but with time and patience he learned to control both the force and his more primal urges. But still the collective unconsciousness called to him in the night, the dreams of his Queen and her command. Would he always be strong enough to resist?
(http://www.moronarama.com/customs/sw-c-dst-454 service droid01.jpg)
DST-464 - Service Droid
DST-464 chugged along in the verdant undergrowth scanning the plant life and cataloging them for the project. As part of the new Rodian Science Initiative (RSI) it was important to collect good clean information that could be used for future colonization expeditions. DST-464 felt this planet, with its rich and diverse flora and fauna would be perfect for the Rodian people. While they had often thrived on dryer worlds, DST-464 was sure tropical world would work very well. And that’s when he was crushed under the foot of a wandering Rancor.
(http://www.moronarama.com/customs/sw-c-eg-2-2 service droid01.jpg)
EG-2-2 “Egghead” - Service Droid
EG-2-2, or Egghead as the station staff called him, was the functional quartermaster for the X-56787 Orbital Platform at Govacto Prime. I say functional, because the assigned quartermaster was a overweight Dug named Ramrod who spent all of his time stealing food from the galley or drinking from his homemade supply of wine. This was fine with Egghead, because Ramrod only screwed the counts up and this upset the droid … greatly. The rest of the crew was less thrilled, because they had gotten quite used to taking what they wanted and EG-2-2 was beyond meticulous in his counts. He has gone so far as to hot-shot the storage room doors, giving any would-be thieves quite a shock. Several of the more … amoral crewman had recently been plotting to shove Egghead out an airlock. Life never got boring on the X-56787 Orbital Platform.
(http://www.moronarama.com/customs/sw-c-ft-b01 astromech droid01.jpg)
FT-B01 “Fat Boi” - Astromech Droid
FT-B01 cruised down the corridor of the automated freighter looking for the access panel. His comm crackled “Are you there yet, Fat Boi? We’re in position up here.” FT-B01 grimaced internally … he hated that nickname. He knew how the fleshbags used that term and he knew they were mocking him. He sent back a series bass tones to the captain indicating her was still looking for the dataport. “Hurry it up, Fatty. You’re holding up the show.” FT-B01 cruised around a corner and spotted his connection. He plugged in and began scanning the system. He could tell his loathsome little crew was waiting in the aft airlock and the though occurred to him. He could steal this ship all on his own and never need these meat puppets again. Two little clicks and the airlock blew sending those bastards off into space. FT-B01 was free at last.

(http://www.moronarama.com/customs/sw-c-jooba aqualish pilot01.jpg)
Jooba - Aqualish Pilot
Jooba jammed the throttle forward and set the A-Wing into s corkscrew, but he could not shake the tie-fighter. He juked left and green bolts of energy whizzed by the right of his canopy. Jooba let out an old Aqualish curse and the juked right. The tie maintained its pursuit. Jooba pulled up hard and cut his engines, trying to catch the imperial fighter in a cobra maneuver, but tie anticipated and cut speed as well. Jooba had to admit this Imp was good, probably better than he was. In a desperate move, Jooba pulled back on the stick and went all in on thrust straight up. The tie followed and lined up to fire. In a simultaneous move Jooba cut engines and put full energy into his aft shields. The A-Wing dropped like a bullet straight back and through the tie fighter’s cockpit. The imp never saw it coming. Jooba’s fighter was in rough shape, but he could limp back to the carrier and call it a win … for today.
(http://www.moronarama.com/customs/sw-c-noovash ilthorian smuggler01.jpg)
Noovash - Illthorian Smuggler
Noovash hauled the grav-lift up the gang plank in into the freighter’s hold. That was the last of it, twenty cases of premium spice. It took more time this was, he could have hired a load team and droids, but the buyer was paying premium for discretion on this job. Maybe that was because the containers were clearly stamped as property of the Hutt Syndicate and the buyer was definitely not a Hutt. It was risky, but Noovash figured this one might pay enough that he could retire to the Outer Rim … maybe get a farm on a startup colony and relax. It all seemed like a good idea until the proximity alarms started. Hutt Warcraft descended from the sky as Noovash climbed to the helm. “Well,” he thought, “Here goes nothing. Time to earn that fee.” The freighter lifted off and the chase began.

Palko-R7 - Mercenary Droid
When the war ended on Corbus VI, they had no more need to the Palkos. Most got reprogrammed and sent back to the mines or the quarries. Palko-44 was salvaged from the battle field and reprogrammed by members of a local crime syndicate. Palko-44 was a good leg-breaker for the family, but he separated from them as the Hutts moved in. Seeking freelance bounties and mercenary jobs keeps expanding his horizons as a free droid.
(http://www.moronarama.com/customs/sw-c-poh kokulo gand thora gangster01.jpg)
Poh Kokulo - Gand Thora Gangster
The Gand Thora come is all shapes and sizes, from great hulking creatures with hard shine chitin to slight humanoids covered in bristly hairs. And even for the latter, Poh Kokulo was especially small. And maybe it was this chip on his shoulder that drove him to excel in his field of choice: Crime. He was a master sneak thief as a child, but he wanted more. He learned every trick he could, strategized twenty moves ahead. When they sent thugs against him, he became a master blaster marksman. When the Jedi came for him he got a Ysalamir. When the Hutts came he cut a deal. Work smarter and harder. It was the only way for a little guy to survive in this big nasty galaxy.
(http://www.moronarama.com/customs/sw-c-ravit frog-person pilot01.jpg)
Ravit - Frog-Person Pilot
Ravit was always mindful of what he was fighting for when he got behind the controls of his fighter. He fought for his wife and he fought for his brood pod. Thirty beautiful tadpoles and froglets swimming in the pools on the colony escape ship. The Empire had destroyed their home and the family was forced to flee. Ravit would so much prefer to be there with them, searching for a new world to live on. But he was a good pilot and the Rebellion needed him. So he closed his canopy and checked his controls again before beginning to take off. Ravit knew his duty and would not let his family down.
(http://www.moronarama.com/customs/sw-c-wei-zhi chapmeian jedi01.jpg)
Wei-Zhi - Chapmeian Jedi
Wei-Zhi was not thrilled about this assignment. Yes, he knew he was duty bound to follow the orders of the Jedi Council, but this assignment was crap. Escort the Toydarian High Prince to the wedding of the new Pantoran Chairman and prevent him from making diplomatic incident. Babysitting a winged man-baby was no what Wei-Zhi considered worthy of a Jedi. So far he had spent most of his time slapping drinks out of the prince’s hands and preventing him from grouping two princesses and the chairman’s daughter. Spirits help him, Wei-Zhi was beginning to suspect this was all one of Master Yoda’s funny little tests. Wei-Zhi could not wait to see what lesson he was supposed to learn, because right now all he was learning was how to run off hookers and death-stick dealers.
-
Boteeko is my favorite, you made the Hacks head seem even more detailed. I also like the WWI trooper. Reminds me of the mimban stormtrooper, but with an allied helmet. But the frogman pilot is pretty tight though. Can never pick an absolute favorite.

I love that Ithorian smuggler! Thats an awesome idea 💡

Wow, another great batch. Off to share.

Some more great figures. I, too, like the Ithorian and the Chadra-Fan. The back-stories are great! Hope these sell well ;D

BL-002 “Blue Two” – Security Droid
Boss Krako had originally purchased six custom Centurion Class security droid, BL-001 through BL-006. Over a 15 year period he had lost all but BL-002, Blue Two. They had all been made identical, but some how Blue Two had been able to process information faster and learn quicker, allowing him to outlast his droid brothers. Now Blue Two was as recognizable at Boss Krako himself, striking fear into the hearts of the Coruscant Underworld. For 15 years they had come at him and for 15 years Blue Two had repelled their every scheme.

Crossock Ket – Weequay Jedi
Crossock Ket sat in the lotus position and waited. He reached out with the Force and found connection the teaming life of the planet. He could feel the leaves and roots of the trees and plants, the insects crawling in the ground, the animals creeping in the undergrowth, the birds flying above. He reached out meters and then kilometers, as far as his sense could stretch, searching. Then he found it, a crying infant. A child strong in the force. Crossock Ket stood and made his way to the village, his waiting now over.

Doc Goza – Gand Doctor
Doc Goza washed his hands and waved his hand over the head sensor to shut it down. The surgery had been hard, but the patient, a young Twi’lek girl, did well and was now resting. In the Outer Rim, good physicians were hard to come by. Instead, you often got underqualified hacks if you were lucky, and devious con-men and butchers if you were not lucky. Doc Goza was one of the good ones. But he had his secrets. Like many out here, he was on the run from a life in the central planets, trying to make up for a bad past with an honest future. Time would tell.

Buster used the prybar the force the panel off and then went to work salvaging the control boards from the hyperdrive. This is what DSV-103, aka Buster, did, day in and day out. The Ord Mantell salvage yards were beyond massive, piled high were derelict spaceships, speeders, walkers and million other tons of junk. Buster has been dismantling his cruiser on his own for nearly a month. He likely had another two months before he was done. Such was the live of a salvage droid.

EC-9-2 – Battle Caddie Droid
EC-9-2 has worked for five different bounty hunters, hauling weapons and gear, since he was originally activated in 52 BBY5. He’s luckier than most droids, his first master equipped him with a secured back up memory, so that even if a new master wipes him, he can run reupload his full memory. All those years of combat experience and observation … well that’s why he’s outlasted five masters. Never underestimate a good battle caddie.

Like shadows on a sunny day, the droids has no presence in the life teaming life around them. El-Vess planted his feet and ignited his lightsaber. The time for battel was now.

Festus Gool - Ranat Smuggler
The small freighter lined itself up and landed on the small asteroid. Quickly the captain, Festus Gool, shut down all the power and went dark. Moments later a patrol of tie fighters swept by skirting the edge of the asteroid field looking for the runaway freighter. It was no good, their sensors could not find it and they dared not to enter the field in their fragile fighters. Festus thought to himself, "Outwitted you fool imps again." He smiled and went to check the cargo. Thirty crates of enriched spice. Not enough to retire, but maybe enough for a vacation. Festus smiled to himself, he loved the life of a smuggler.

Futaang – Triclops Resistance Pilot
The A-Wing lurched as the blaster fire penetrated the starboard shields and damaged the thruster. Futaang knew he was no match for the advanced Tie Interceptor, but he wasn't ready to give up. The Tie Interceptor had some kind of scrambling that was preventing his missile lock, so he still had a full complement of 12 HM-22 concussion missiles. Reaching below the dash he found the controls to the launcher hatch and crossed the wires. The bay doors open and the missiles began the dead-drop in the wake of his small craft as he pushed hard forward in a straight trajectory. The Tie interceptor swept in behind Futaang for the kill, but never saw the drifting munitions. Futaang turned his head to watch the Tie fighter explode. Now his set his mind on limping back to the fleet for repairs.
Head is an original sculpt in Apoxy Sculpt. The rest is SW Pilot Asty.

Kavaacho - Omikyr Bounty Hunter
A Star Wars/Dungeons & Dragons Mash-up
Kavaacho stood motionless amongst the trees, his head slightly cocked to the right. He could hear his quarry scrambling through the under growth about 100 years ahead. The Trandoshan was breathing heavy and wounded thanks to the deadfall Kavaacho set a 1/2 mile back. The trandoshans had come to trophy hunt in the lush forest of the planet, but they had made a fatal error. Normally Kavaacho hunted for bounty, but today it was for revenge. His aunt and young nephew had been scapled and left to rot along with a dozen other villagers. Kavaacho's father called and Kavaacho came. Three of the Trandoshan's heads now adorned the village fence, and Kavaacho was about to add a fourth. Kavaacho readied his sickle and rushed into the woods. It would not be long now.

Olivandra Otiz – Mirialan Bounty Hunter
"Would you care to dance, sweetheart?" the burly Togorian asked.
Olivandra Otiz eased her squinted eyes over to the alien from beneath her broad brimmed hat. "No, thank you," she replied cooly.
The Togorian slammed his fist onto the table, spilling the drink. "You think you're too good for me, darlin'? How about you get up and dance?," he growled.
The was a rustle of skirt and a long-barreled silver blaster appeared in Olivandra's hand and pressed itself into the Togorians gut. The Mirialan whispered to the Togorian, "I said 'no.' You best take that before you’re drawing air from the wrong side of your lungs."
The Togorian whimpered and backed away. Olivandra blasted him in the knee just for good measure, and he went down screaming. A woman on the outer rim had to learn to be clever and ruthless if she wanted to survive.

Ralquo – Gand Thora Bounty Hunter
Ralquo trotted behind the small Chadra Fan, his crew leader and captain, Timino. Timino had caught the scent of their quarry, a fat human wanted for forging Imperial travel documents. Ralquo groaned inside. He knew Timono only brought him on this run so he could carry the obese skip trace back to the ship. It seems all he did these days b was heavy lifting. He'd joined the crew to learn the bounty hunting trade and all he'd learned was to lift with his legs and how to ice a sore back. But a job was a job and Ralquo likes this better than farming the swamps on Gand. At least he was getting to see the galaxy.
Head is a SW Undead Geonossian. Eyes are made of beads. The torso is SW Momaw Nadon. The arms and legs are Lanard C.O.R.P.S. The pistol is Fortnite and the knife is Batman.

Raul Pene – Chiss Rebel Operative
The patrols on Corellia had been doubled and Raul Pene was worried. His mission hung on him slipping past the guards and uploading the modified specs into the engineering computers. Modifications that would make the new Star Destroyers vulnerable to snub fighter attacks on their shield generators. This would give the Rebel Alliance the advantage in coming battles. But with the heavy guard, things weren’t looking good. Raul Pene hunkered down and waited. The time would come and this mission was too important to fail.
Head is GI Joe. The torso, arms and legs are SW Cassian Andor. The jacket is SW Finn. The gun belt is Marauder Gun Runners.

Senator Grouphus – Reptilon Minister
A Star Wars/Dinosaucers Mash-up
Senator Grophus reviewed Sentaor Amidala’s proposal a second time and he could not deny what it said. It was clear the Chancellor was plotting something terrible. The Senator from Naboo was not sure how Palpatine was going to manage it, but the evidence was undeniable. He opened his com to call his assistant when he heard the door behind him open. “Ah, Plesio, I was just trying to reach you …” but the blaster bolt cut him off. Plesio messaged is contact in the Chancellor’s office that the Reptilon vote had been secured.
Head is a dinosaur toy. Torso, Arms & Legs are SW Orn Free Taa. The collar is SW Captain Tarpals.

SK-T3 “Tall Boy” - Astromech Droid
The speeder belched and SK-T3 was covered in exhaust soot ... again. SK-T3, or Tall Boi as his boss called him, had just gotten himself an oil bath the night before and hoped he might keep his joints clean until the next week. He honked a low dissatisfied honk and moved to access the engine port for diagnostics. SK-T3 found the problem and readjusted the fuel mix. This time the speeder fired up clean. SK-T3 could feel the carbon grinding in his gears and honked low again. There was no justice n droid life.
The main body is the barrel is a cannon from SW Moroff. The top and upper ee are from a Mastermind game. The legs are R2-D2 conencted with vinyl screws. The lower leg is from a SW IG-88.

TZ-896 – Droid Pirate
TZ-896 sharpened the blade of his sword while he waited for the airlock to connect and open. As first mate of the Steel Claw he always boarded first. Two modified Battle Droids and Astromech modified for droid fights waited with him. They all crewed for Cap’n Gonk as parts of and all droid pirate team. The plan was simple: TZ-896 would make his way to the command deck and demand surrender. If the crew refused the Astromech would shut down the bulk head and vent the whole ship to space. No muss, no fuss. He might have to gut a few meatbags on the way to the cockpit, but otherwise these were always bloodless affairs. Organic bodies in space freeze and don’t bleed. The airlock hissed, it was showtime.
Head is some binocular thing I found attached to a SW Battle Droid head socket. The torso, arms and upper legs are what I think are X-Men Cable. Lower legs are Captain America. The sword is Pirates of the Caribbean Blackbeard and the pistol is Lanard C.O.R.P.S.

Nice to see you back! Another great batch, all with good stories. I like the composition of your Reptilon. "Blue Two" is great, as is the pirate droid. I like the design of the Mirialan a lot. Great paint job on the Ranat!

Thanks, man. I'm going to try and sty more active.
These were a lot of fun to make. The Mirialan is my favorite. Reminds me of a picture I saw once of a female Mexican revolutionary.

I admire how you always come up with such creative names for your characters. Crossock looks great! Olivandra would be awesome to see in Mando Season 4 to bring back that Space Western vibe.
I hope bounty Hunter Kavaacho will have revenge on all the butchers out there and slaughters them the same way. And Raul Pene will have to go to my list of customs that I have to copy some day. I have a few Andor figures left and he’s just a perfect civilian in my book.
Awesome lineup once again! Thanks for sharing!

Thanks, Darth More. I like making background characters, they were always some of my favorites from the films. I really dug the Tales of the Bounty Hunters and Tales of the Mos Eisley Cantina where they gave them each their own story. I decided that Kavaacho needed to be a riff on Bambi, the only deer story I could think of :)

Wow, what great customs. I couldn't download the daggone images thanks to the new google feature or windows or whatever. It was adding some download category into the image so I couldn't load em into facebook, but I got it on the front page! Awesome.

Thank you, Tamer. There was a picture on FB, so something must have started working. Thanks for all your hard work around here.

Yeah, I had to use the snipping tool on one of the images. Don't know whats up, but these images are adding some new words to the end of the jpg affix that doesn't allow them to show up as images.
