Thanks Starchaser and Darth More.  Thanks Tamer for the share.

[Jedi Minstrel]

So, this was a custom I did a while ago and am finally posting.  Luke was in search of a great warrior.  He did find him but imagine what he was expecting...

[ImperialOfficer]

Great idea! Mind if I try something similar?

[Tamer]

Now that turned out great. I think I can see some Embo parts in here. Always thought that figure would make for some great custom figures. Off to share.

[customjedi]

Awesome and a little frightening (in a great way).

[Starchaser]

Outstanding concept and excellent execution. That is one great figure - Yoda the Destroyer:) A parts breakdown would be great.

[Jedi Minstrel]

ImperialOfficer, please do and share as soon as you do.

Tamer, yes that hat is pretty cool.  I did post a while ago something with the upper body.  And thanks for the FP.

customjedi, frightening I don't think so.  If Luke had in his mind a great warrior, someone tall with muscles and lots of weapons easily comes to mind.  I had that green goblin sitting with other stuff waiting to be used and when this idea came, no problems because Great-Warrior-Yoda had to have the ears and green skin to tie into the original.  And the Warrior would still be a part of the Jedi tradition.  "For over a thousand generations, the Jedi Knights were the guardians of peace and justice in the Old Republic. Before the dark times, before the Empire."  Luke was, like most of us, surprised that this little green guy could kick serious butt.  No, not frightning, just something "from a certain point of view" when the idea came for this concept.

Starchaser,
As stated above, Green Goblin head (disney-esque inspired one that I wasn't familiar with)
GI Joe Recondo (v 7) torso and arms
Thighs, random Joe.  I think Zartan in a GI Joe diguise
Lower legs, Cobra H.I.S.S. Driver.
Embo hat
Cobra Belt and Baldric
And soft goods for the Jedi skirt/kama-thing.

There are more pics that will be coming in relation to Warrior Yoda.

[Starchaser]

Thanks for sharing! I got a couple of those Goblin figures on clearance just for the head a while back. Now I have a build for one of them

[Jedi Minstrel]

Nothing like getting figures for cheap knowing you will use them one way or another.  In homage to my best friends in high school (class of '90 here), I was thinking of using some figures I had in storage for some time now.  The idea just came to me a week ago. 

[Tamer]

Sounds interesting. Class of 89 myself. We are getting old!

[Jedi Minstrel]

Remember, we're Star Wars aficianados:
Not old, VINTAGE!

[Starchaser]

I prefer the terms "seasoned" or "mature" myself. 

[Darth More]

Wow, that's such a cool idea which would've never come into my mind in my life! I rellay like that muscle Yoda warrior! Awesome job! Thanks for sharing!

I agree with all the other commentators.
Your warrior turned out great.
Very interesting mix of parts btw.
