Thanks for answering my question about the Ranger head. I'm really liking these new figures. You do a fantastic job of bringing together parts from different figures lines (POTC, GI Joe, Star Wars, etc.) to create original characters.

Thank you very much!  There've been a couple of one's where I just stumbled on that aren't SW or GI Joe but something totally out there that I didn't even know exists.  So much fun.  Anyway, Happy New Year!

Jedi Minstrel - Just had to share, no pics

I didn't get the camera out in time but the 3 year old daughter was, at first, not sharing with the 1 year old son some of my old SW action figures.  Then with a little coaxing, she did.  As she stood Luke up, the younger one started to do the same with a Stormtrooper.  Good times.

That is awesome. Every now and then I will get a day where she will get out "her" action figures and we play a bit. Enjoy that time!

Jedi Minstrel - Republic Rangers, 3/19/2015

Well, it's been awhile.  Kids, work, you know, the usual, has kept me from posting but I've been able to continue with some custom building.  Here is a continuation of what I started a few months back with Commander Niev'Kasel, the Republic Rangers.

Like many other Xlugha, Sgt. Buughar, is a bit introverted and keeps to himself.  But as a soldier, he is dedicated to his unit.  He was one of the first that Cmdr. Niev'Kasel recruited for the Republic Rangers, a special forces unit that keeps to the shadows and receives almost no notoriety for its services.  Many in the military had great skepticism for him and his species as soldiers due to their body type but Buughar proved his worth.  He is one of the few that Niev'Kasel will listen to, if he listens to anyone.  When soldiers are whipped into things, they mean that literally with Buughar as he will whip his soldiers with his tail when he feels they need it.

I appreciate that you find him strange.  And doubly appreciate that you appreciate him.  I've been trying to get away from just human characters.  I've been digging up in my fodder bin and buying some of the older action figures from the years ago to use the heads for more variety.  This one was from a character from Men in Black III, I think.  I used the body but the head inspired me to put antennae on Biggs Darklighter.

Jedi Minstrel - More from 3470 years before Battle of Yavin (3/24/15)
« Reply #519 on: March 24, 2015, 06:31:42 AM »
Lt. Abrudeghavi'jattenevigda "Ajay" Ghevirethreh was showing great strides in special ops training until an accident during maneuvers cost him his arms.  He did not want a discharge and neither did Cmdr. Niev'Kasel.  So, Lt. Ghevirethreh underwent an experimental cyborg program.  His reflexes were heightened along with his strength level.  At first, Ajay resented the arms but now he appreciates having them as he continues to serve the Republic and his friends.

Lt. Faleco Rehj has served the Republic right after his age of ascension.  During a mission with his battle squad in the asteroid field of the Commenor System, he was taken notice by a Cmdr. Niev'Kasel.  His and other squads were tasked with searching the asteroid belt for terrorists that had been threatening Commenor and it's neighboring systems.  There was a special ops unit, the Republic Rangers, that were involved with the operation and it was his squad that supplied support for 3 operatives.  During a cave-in, the then Pvt. Rehj, saved them all thru digging and finding a way out since all the others were pinned down.  He also captured several terrorists single handedly at the same time.

Awesome parts combinations. As a kitbash customizer Ive always been amazed at the end results different people get. Yours are above and beyond some of the best JM
