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!

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.
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.

Lots of cool figures, but I LOVE this one!


Yeah, me too. It is getting a lot of love on eBay too!
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.

Thanks Lenny.  I am a headhunter ... that is for sure.

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!

eBay Link to the auctions for this latest batch

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.

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 :)

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 :)
