Alright, first batch of the new year!
https://www.ebay.com/str/weakcut/Custom-Action-Figures/_i.html?_storecat=49737563013I'm trying out some back stories for my creations … let me know what you think …
AU-D2 – Astromech Droid
AU-D2 was a present from the Prince of Hynestia to his daughter Lady Oscora. AU-D2 was specially commission from Industrial Automation to act as servant, chauffeur, and body guard for its owner. Its whimsical exterior is both fashionable and deceptive. The over-sized antennae on top of AU-D2 actually houses a powerful capacitor that can create a 20 foot “stun field” that can be used to disable potential assailants.
The body is some wind up robot I had kicking around and the legs are obviously from an SW R2-D2 figure. The body took quite a bit of hot glue to fill in the holes for the winder, the feet, and an arm that had been sticking out the side. The lowest eye is a piece from a Mastermind board game. I though gold would be a different color to try, but it may have been too much … it looks a little like a Christmas ornament.
Bone Hammer – Yautja Rebel Pilot – A Star Wars/Predator Mashup
A member of the Blood Squadron formed from the remnants of the Green and Silver squadrons and reconstituted with several new pilots recruited from the outer rim. The Blood Squadron was tasked with striking Imperial Garrisons along the Outer Rim in order to liberate and recruit as many new planets as possible. Bone Hammer was one of the few Yautja willing to abandon his people’s tradition of trophy hunting that lead most of his race into the bounty hunting profession. Bone Hammer is a skilled pilot who has modified his A-Wing fighter with equipment from his home world, including: advanced sensor array, full rotating auto targeting cannons, and cloaking device. This of course comes at the cost of diminished shield capacity. Bone Hammer is often utilized by the squadron for advanced scouting and recon, at which he excels.
Head and hands are a Reaction Predator, and the body is a SW Luke Skywalker Pilot. The hair required some trimming since the neck is longer on the reaction figure.
Busco Delv – Iktochi Mandalorian Warrior
Busco Delv was only 5 cycles old when his parents prospecting ship was attacked by raiders. His parents were murdered and he and his two siblings were left adrift in space. For 5 weeks they floated, getting closer and closer to starvation. By the time the Mandolorian cruiser found them Busco was the only survivor. Adopted as a foundling by the cruiser’s captain, Busco was inducted in the ways of the Mandalorian. This was in the days before the purge and before the requirement that a Mandalorian’s helmet not be removed. Busco trained hard and became a skilled warrior. He trades his skills in the Bounty Hunters Guild, but is always searching for the raider group that killed his family, to exact revenge.
Head and helmet are SW Saesee Tiin, the body, arms and legs are SW Jango Fett. The belt/cloth is from a SW Giran figure, with some Gi Joe Grenades and a SW Han Solo holster and blaster. I’m not sure where the backpack came from
Corporal Hinywine – Gand Thora Rebel Trooper
Corporal Hinywine loves Bernice … his reconditioned Clone Wars era EMP Launcher. He's replaced the original droid disrupting grenades with a more all purpose ion cannon load that wreaked havoc with enemy equipment and blasters. Like the few Gand Thora that remain in the galaxy, Hinywine is sworn enemy to the empire who attempted to eradicate his entire race.
BUTTHEAD! Head is a Geonosian pelvis and the eyes are the backs from cheap ball point pens. The body is an Elite Forces soldier. I trimmed down the front pack, because it got in the way of the arms and added a blaster holster on the right. The kerchief is from a GI Joe Stiletto figure.
