Great idea for a REBELS Character Darth Crassus! I like the looks of him. I am gonna use him for a front page reminder about the contest today!

I do agree about the lack of force users. Seeing some of the main characters already donning lightsabers bothers me a bit. I mean, wouldn't they be trying to lay low? I am also having a hard time thinking Vader wouldn't have personally gone after any Force User found. For now I am thinking the Inquisitor is kinda like a scout and when he finds one he calls in Vader.

Thanks!

I agree. I'm a big Force Unleashed fan, but I think in that game they did a good job making it appear the Jedi were in hiding or on the run. I hope Rebels handles the situation well - I guess we'll see.

I decided to remake a character that I'd love to see in the Rebels cartoon - Mother Talzin, aka The Great Mother, from Season 6 of the Clone Wars.  I used the head from a previous Talzin custom, that was an Episode 7 concept.  This custom sports an all new design, based mostly off the CW series, but with a few alterations to make it my own.  I wanted to capture the power and elegance of this pivotal character.  I even made a custom dark magick saber for her:

darth sidious, that is one fantastic looking Talzin. I too am hoping perhaps we might see a little bit of our favorite TCW Characters show up on REBELS. I don't think it is out of the realm of possibilities for her to show up. She seems pretty timeless to me. I would also love to see the questions of Captain Rex and Ahsoka answered with this series too. Off to share this to the front page.

The saber is nice, and the paint apps are really good, BUT THE SOFT GOODS ARE AMAZING !
I'd love to see the process involved in that.

Thanks guys, I did put more time and effort into the softgoods, I didn't snap any photos of the process though.  They required a steady hand and some equally precise cuts.

Imperial Engineer - My fan-fiction take on some sort of Imperial for the upcoming series


head - POTF2 Spacetrooper
belt/holsters - TVC Captain Fordo
rest - TVC Kmart AT-ST Driver

He almost looks like a no-paint kit bash.  But the whole body and head were repainted.  I guess the body could use a bit of a wash...

Looks great CHEWIE. I had a similar idear to go after the AT-DP Driver in this fashion if I can figure out how to cobble together the Veers helmet with the Driver or Stormy Faceplate. That Spacetrooper buckets might just fit the bill better.

Those look great - much better than what Hasbro has on the way...

Just uploaded my entry to Yakface - time to show them off here as well...

Here's my entry. It's a bounty hunter, Malarc Synter, who is currently working for the Empire and his trusted protocol droid, HD-M1 (who was named by my daughter after we ran to the store to buy an hdmi cable...). Malarc was a highly efficient sniper in a small outer rim militia until he was seriously injured in an explosion, leaving him scarred over 90% of his body.

Wow, great entries Dobiwan and My Kind of Scum. I love the aliens you have used to create these characters. You guys are making action figures we would have all bought has Hasbro not predoomed the line with their 5 POA nonsense. Thank you both for sharing. Off to share Dobi's and MKOS I will definitely use your entry for a front page reminder before this is done too.
