I found him at the supermarket for only $3.  I had him sitting around since before Christmas, and was planning on running a contest at the blog and offer him as a prize, but since we didn't have a forum, I wasn't sure how to go about entries.  After the episode I figured I'd use the head of our extra for a battle damaged Opress.  I considered putting him on ebay, but I hate seeing people pay really high prices for rare figures.

I too have yet to see this particular figure although the Homer ones abound.

This is a great way to get current renditons of these Dathomir Brothers. Time to take the news to the front page. Thanks for sharing these with us and showing us what to do Brian.

Hey Jay. The body is in pieces. I am in the process of giving him ball jointed hips and ankles and doing what Hasbro should of done in the first place.  I was talking to Stronox on the phone last night and he gave me his recipe.

Just finished this one yesterday.  I have a lot more pics on the blog, but I'm posting here from my phone in the back of the surveillance van so I can't make it as pic heavy as I would like.  
I have to retake the photo of the figure from behind because the shot I had was blurry and I needed to get to bed and didn't have time to take another.







Here's the link to the blog post:

Isn't that how Maul should've looked after feeling sorry for himself for 10+ years after getting beat by Obi-Wan?    ;)

Great work, killer sculpt and paint job.

Light side, dark side...meh.  Just give me a lightsaber and a blaster and I'll take care of it!

Thanks guys! I am really trying to vary up the body types in Elias' collection.  This guy is one of my all-time favorite action figures.  He didn't photograph that well, but I love the way he looks in hand.  I'm regretting posting him, because I wish I saved him for the TOR contest even though I have no idea what I would have used for the other two figures.  I really don't have much TOR style fodder.
