@CloneSniper: I believe it! Honestly the Willrow Hood body is one of my favorites. He's a really good figure and he offers a change from the normally muscle-bound tiny-waist world of action figures. I really want to use it to make a new Jek Porkins figure at some point. Could even do a Baron Harkonen (Dune) figure. Glad you love it! Feel free to make one of your own :)

I had to take time to wipe the tears from my eyes...friggin hilarious!  I love what you've done here; terrific concept.  This is art in the truest sense of the word!

He took advantage of the "free refills policy" on the Death Star: ingenious!    ;D

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

@JM: I knew he was funny, but I really didn't know he was that funny lol. I guess it's like when you tell a joke that you know the punchline to. I am so thrilled you laughed that hard! And I'm flattered you consider this work to be "true art". I've always really enjoyed finding humor in Star Wars. If it can be done without anything related to Gunguns, even better. Feel free to steal this concept and create your own! His catch phrase is "He's finger lickin' good!"

@Mungo: Glad you think so! :)

You must have been out on a mission. TK-711 was probably out stocking up on poptarts and funions. Oh how he covets his funions.

@Tamer: Thanks so much for the front page! Also glad you find him funny too :)

I've been working to get my latest Mando for the squad ready, just need to do a bit of touch-up painting and then photographs! I can tell you it's a Fem Mando codenamed: Smoke. She's one Mando princess you don't want to mess with. ;)

Hot on the heals of the Fat Trooper, we have the newest member of the Imperial Mandos Squad (really need to come up with a better name for the unit, an acronym even) I welcome any and all suggestions for a group of covert Mandalorian spec forces soldiers (loosely inspired by GI-Joe).

For this figure I went with an urban camouflage look and I knew she needed some blades and a very long sniper rifle. I also wanted her T-visor to be a metallic pink.

I present to you the team's Infiltrator operative. Codenamed: Smoke. Smoke, born Jeszla Teff, daughter of Ahvitt'Nu Teff, leader of Clan Teff, grew up living a life of comfort as an heiress to the Clan Teff seat but also as a fierce warrior on the battle field. When her father was murdered by agents of a rival clan she assumed control of Teff and lead them to victory over the attacking Devu clan. One of the best marksman known to the Mandalorian people, Smoke can tag incredibly small targets at impossibly far distances. Trained extensively in covert operations she never accepted the traditional guards that come with being a clan leader--she never needed them. Opting for a laser resistant durasteel weave light jumpsuit over a fireproof catsuit rather than the bulky traditional Mando armor, Smoke can perform the most acrobatic of maneuvers with ease. She does however wear a heavy blastproof knee guard that offers her some cover when she crouches to take aim. Her utility belt is chock full of pockets with lock picks, code breaking gear, stunners, plenty of blaster cartridges, and even a personal shield generator. She wears paired down versions of the standard mando gauntlets with gas pellet launchers, nerve toxin darts, and a mini flamer. Her boots have shock absorbing soles and can be magnetized for a short time allowing her to scale vertical surfaces. She bears facial tattoos in ancient designs intended to warn her foes against their own deaths at her hands and to ward off evil. Her modified Jetpack has been draped with a piece of the Teff clan banner. Smoke's left gauntlet has been fitted with two razor sharp cortosis blades capable of withstanding and protecting her from a direct lightsaber attack. Her heavily modified long range ion sniper rifle has a range of up to a mile and a half, it's gas powered, and fires a projectile encased in a blaster bolt of ion energy. Designed for her by Gearbox these bolts are capable of passing through light shields and most any substance in the direct way of the blast. The ion energy bores through armor and disrupts shields allowing the projectile to reach its mark. Her side arm is a medium repeating TEE-213 Rifle. A literal combination of an Imperial T-21 Rifle and an EE-3 carbine and it fires in controlled bursts much like an EE-3. Never assume she's unarmed even when she has no visible weapons or armor, there are hidden blades in her long warrior's braid, which she whips at her foes cutting them to ribbons. Smoke joins the Mando Squad on special missions, although a permanent member of the team she splits her time between her clan and her squad mates. She is regarded with the utmost of respect by her fellow mandos on the squad. If there's a place that needs getting into, or a target that needs to be taken out with surgical precision, Smoke's your girl. She's as deadly as she is silent. She gives new meaning to the expression for when someone has been killed, they've been "Smoked".
