Stronox, Thanks so much for looking and for the feedback. I was pretty happy with how the Noghri turned out as well.

Thanks Blizzard Force! I really like the Thrawn trilogy as well and I'm disappointed that we didn't get Noghri in the new movie. I just got the parts for a second Noghri, so we'll how he turns out.

Females are certainly under-represented in the figure lines, so when I was assembling the Rex/Nick figure (based on darthdaddy's recipe and inspiration) and came across a reference image for a named female Rebel commando, I thought, "That's a custom I haven't seen and could probably pull off." So I made an attempt:

Dansra Beezer:



Recipe:
     Head/torso and arms = Barriss Offee (Vintage Collection)
     Jacket/belt/legs and helmet = Endor Rebel Trooper (Saga Collection)
     Hands = cut and dremmeled from the TFA Rey that came with her speeder bike

Great job on her, wouldn't have recognized Barris underneath that helmet if you hadn't stated it. Also, females are definitely under-represented, so it's a cool addition...

Keep fighting the good fight. As a father of a daughter who likes action figures it appalls me at the lack of good articulated female action figures. Bravo. She looks good on the front pages.

Another for today:

Banethos Al'Tri - a Caamasi. As a young child, his Force sensitivity was recognized and he began training at the Jedi Temple on Coruscant. As with most Caamasi, Banethos was pacificstic in orientation (though he could fight well with a lightsaber, if it came to it). As a result when the Clone Wars began, he was sent on diplomatic missions to Separatist leaning planets and organizations. He didn't have command over any Clone Troops and so was able to survive order 66 and disappear into the crowds on Rosha. He later found his way to Alderaan and served as secretary to another Caamasi Jedi, the famous Ylenic It'Kla. When Alderaan was destroyed, Banethos was off planet overseeing the foundation of another Caamasi Remnant colony with settlers from Alderaan. Some might say he was lucky, Banethos, though would just say, "It was the will of the Force."



Recipe:
     Body = VC Kit Fisto
     Hands = Hem Dazon
     Head = the base is a Schleich fox, with the snout, ears and other details sculpted by me.
