That's quite a collection of w.i.p. customs - some look finished already! Really like those tables in 1/18 scale, too! Love those lots on ebay, which have become quite rare these days. My sister ust told me recently how much she wants to go to a Goodwill store when we come to the U.S. next time. Your next batch of customs will be exciting for sure!

Thanks.  So the tables I scored to Dollar Tree.  They sell a line of wooden dollhouse furniture.  I have to saw about 1/4 inch off the legs to make them fit the 3.75 inch size figures.  They are raw wood color, so I have taken to soaking them in really strong coffee or tea to bring out the grain.  I just didn't want to mess with the time and mess to use wood stain.  They make great for work benches.
You are not kidding about those eBay lots, they are hard to find.  I've actually scored stuff more often lately through Facebook Marketplace.  Goodwill can definitely be a gold mine for fodder, but its pretty hit and miss.  I hit the one in my town twice a week and come away with something good about one a month.  Just enough to keep me coming back :)

I'm a month late posting a reaction to these, so you will likely have a new wave coming soon. Love Grasst and Beltron. Those Senator Palpatine robes still hold their charm. haha

eBay Link to the auctions for this latest batch



Beta Nova – Steam-Protocol Droid

Along with his counterpart, Rho-Dos Delta-Dos, Beta Nova assists their master, the Steam Knight Lucius Heavenrunner.  They work as part of the Partisan Forces resisting the Empire Mechanika lead by the nefarious Dark Ventor, Tsar of Cinders.  Marvel as they travel across the planet in their airship, the Eon Eagle, fighting for truth, justice and FREEDOM!

Head is SW BB-9.  The body/torso/legs are a Ben 10 Steam Smythe. The staff is a Fortnite electrical staff. The clock belt buckle is from Idea-ology charm set.





Rho-Dos Delta-Dos – Astro-steam Droid
Along with his counterpart, Beta Nova, Rho-Dos Delta-Dos assists their master, the Steam Knight Lucius Heavenrunner.  They work as part of the Partisan Forces resisting the Empire Mechanika lead by the nefarious Dark Ventor, Tsar of Cinders.  Marvel as they travel across the planet in their airship, the Eon Eagle, fighting for truth, justice and FREEDOM!

The body is a True Legends Pirate Canon.  The wheels are from some pirate toy.  The support leg in the back is a battle droid head.  The eye is a piece from a Mastermind game.





C20-P6 – Protocol Droid

C20-P6 was assigned to Senator Rugelio Baltin of Rodia after faithfully serving his predecessor for 20 years.  As his programming would dictate, C20 is an impeccable linguist and protocol droid.  As is now standard for all Senatorial Droids, he has also been programmed with basic defense systems and weapons handling to act as an emergency bodyguard to his Senatorial assignment.  This has come in handy as Senator Baltin has a proclivity for the underground brothels and casinos of lower Coruscant.  C20 has also been programmed for discretion.

Head is a SW Senate Can Droid from the Senator Palpatine figure.  Torso and arms are Endo-Sym Iron Man.  Hands are Vitruvian H.A.C.K.S. robot hands.  Legs are GI Joe Duke Delta-6 Accelerator Suit.





Darth Dentis – Crite Sith Lord – A Star Wars/Critter Mashup

No one would have expected the force to manifest itself in a creature as savage as a Crite, so much so that the Jedi Council ordered the divergence to be eliminated when it was found.  But Master Colwin felt great sorrow for the creature and abandoned it on the barren moon of Kelfor.  It was here that Darth Venok found the creature and began his training.  Rage and hunger define Darth Dentis’s approach to all things.  He consumes his enemies whole whenever possible, feeding on their life force as much as their flesh.

Head is an Angel Forge Critter figurine.  The torso, arms, legs and feet are SW Yoda.  I shortened the legs and reattached the feet.  The lightsaber is ½ of a SW Darth Maul sabre.





The Jawa with No Name – Jawa Gunslinger

The Jawa arrives in a given without notice and begins his work.  He is a hired gun, sure, but his vision is bigger than that.  Why get paid by one swoop gang when you can get paid by both?  Why not create a little competition … raise the stakes … raise the prices?  It’s a lonely cold world out there for a Jawa, best get the most out of it you can!

The head, body, arms and legs are SW Jawa from the LIN droid set.  The hat and poncho are from a Fortnite Calamity figure.  The holsters are from a Marvel Hawkeye figure and the pistols are from a SW Tobia Beckett figure.





Kahli Gotell – Human Padawan

Kahli Gotell was a tracker.  She could reach out with the force and identify a specific individual as long as she was on the same planet.  Her connection to the force was such that she could reach through a planet core and feel her quarry.  So she was assigned to Master Dontori and began to train with the recruitment branch of the order.   The two became and unstoppable pair, rescuing dozens of force sensitive children from mediocre fates.

A simple head swap and repaint.  Head is a Xyber 9 Anakonda.  The rest is SW Episode I Anakin Padawan figure.





Palko-56 – Droid Bounty Hunter

When the war ended on Corbus VI, they had no more need to the Palkos.  Most got reprogrammed and sent back to the mines or the quarries, but Palko-56 decided this was not for him.  He stowed away of a grain freighter and made his way to the inner planets.  Bounty hunting is easy compared to war and these days it’s more about keeping busy rather than making money.

Head is from a Tron Legacy Sam Flynn Light Cycle figure.  Torso, arms and hands are Fortnite A.I.M. figure.  The legs and feet are a Gears of War Dominic Santiago.





Saltiffa Kroll – Togruta Bounty Hunter

Saltiffa swore she would never return to the Zygerrian Salve Market while she was alive.  But saying never to the fates is a sure way to be disappointed.  So it was that she found herself bringing in her bounty for the Crimson Dawn to the very Market that once held her and tore her away from her family.  But she could think of no being more deserving than Quinto the Quarren, who had bought and sold so many here.  With his mouth sewn shut he could hardly argue his side when Saltiffa traded him for that stack of credits.  Bounty hunting can truly become a complicated business.

The head is SW Shaak Ti.  The body, arms and legs are Ready Player One Art3mis.  The blaster rifle is from Men In Black Stalk Eyes figure.  The bandolier is from a Pirates of the Caribbean Jack Sparrow figure.





Sgt. Kodon – Ithorian Expeditionary Force

It was hard sometimes to keep order on a long mission, but Sgt. Kodon had faith in his men.  Fifty of the finest Ilthorian Shocktroopers would provide security on the long mission to locate the Prime World, the theoretical first planet from which all life sprang.  This was the goal of the Ilthorian Expeditionary Force, in the hopes of securing its secrets and finally bringing balance to the universe.  The Ilthorian people would no longer be subject of the whims of Jedi Order or the Galactic Senate.  While Force sensitives were a key part of the mission, they were loyal to the Command and not a crumbling tower of wizards high in the tower on Coruscant.  Kodon would see that the mission was completed and his men would lay down their very lives on this, their quest.

Head, forearms & hands are SW POTF Momaw Nadon (Hammerhead).  Torso is Ben 10 Petadillday. Legs & feet SW Rebels Zeb Orrelios. The arms are jointed using elbow joints from a SW Clone Wars animated Anakin Skywalker. The upper arm is from a Batman Dark Knight Rises figure.  The bracers are from a Jurassic World Owen figure.





Urato Goom – Kel Dor Bounty Hunter

Urato Goom would take dry and hot over damp and cold every time, if you let him.  He’d been known to just let a bounty go, rather than follow them onto one of those stupid ice worlds.  But only for short bounties, he was a professional after all.  More or less anyhow.  He had a bit of a gambling problem which had caused him to become the hunted rather than the hunter from time to time.  But still he wasn’t the worst bounty hunter out there.  He like to think he was squarely in the middle of the pack.  Lower middle maybe, but surely not the worst … surely.

Head is SW Plo Koon.  Torso and arms are Prince of Persia Prince Dastan.  The legs are The Hobbit Fili the Dwarf.





Ywallah – Wookie Bounty Hunter

Ywallah had never stepped foot on Kashyyyk, he family having fled with a refugee shortly before the Imperial enslavement began.  They were adrift in the stars and out among the other races for most of her life.  Her parents taught her the Wookie ways and traditions, but she was always her own person.  Like many Wookies she favors the traditional bowcaster, but she has found blaster pistols and other technology to be equally useful.  The Wookies area a hunted people, but Ywallah likes to stay on the moves, he only true home is in space.

Head is SW Chewbacca.  The rest is a Fortnite Cuddle Team Leader.  The holder I from a GI Joe.  I used Heinkle Multipurpose Cement to create the fur texture and the smooth parts of the Cuddle Team Leader.  The belt greebles were from a couple different figures.





Z1510 – Techno Union Service Droid

The Z-Series was supposed to be the Techno Unions answer to Industrial Automations R-Series Astromechs, but that was hardly the case.  The Z Series did feature the standard Techno Union quadruped design, thought to be superior the Astromech’s leg and wheel set up, but beyond that the Z-Series fell short.  The biggest flaw was thought to be the Z-Series lack of cognitive processing units, that while made them less snarky than the R-Series, also made them prone to getting trapped in logic loops.  Sadly Techno Unions demise brought the whole project to an end.

The body is a SW Sebulba Podracer Spinner McDonald’s toy.  The legs are from a Ready 2 Robot figure.  The eye is an arm peg from a M.A.R.S. Cybotronic figure.



Blood Squadron
The Blood Squadron was 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. They are led by a disgraced imperial captain who goes by the code name Hannibal.  Many of the members of the squadron represent the last known survivors of their individual species.




Cy – Blood Squadron Cylon B-Wing– A Star Wars/Battlestar Galactica Mashup
While exploring planets of the Outer Rim, the Blood Squadron Commander discovered the ancient remains of the robot they call Cy.  Once revived he reported to be the last of a race of sentient droid known as the Cylons.  He stated that they were destroyed by an ancient race of dark wizards called the Sith, after the Cylon’s ambitions ran in to conflict with those of the Sith.  Cy reported he was adrift in space for many years before his ship cashed and he was rescued by a human named Starbuck.  Cy said after Starbuck passed, he lost the ability to recharge and went dormant until Blood Squadron found him.  He pilots one of the squadron’s massive B-Wing fighters, as his programming tends to favor heavy weaponry over the quick X-Wing fighters.  He has proven to be a relentless if somewhat unimaginative warrior, and always signs off communications with a quirky, “By your Command!”
Head is a Battlestar Galactica Cylon Trooper.  The rest is Reaction Alien Ripley in Space Suit figure.  The blaster is from a SW Retro Bespin Han Solo.





T-800 – Blood Squadron Cyberdyne Droid B-Wing Pilot - A Star Wars/Terminator Mashup

When the Empire discovered the Cyberdyne Systems plot to infiltrate and take control of the Imperial Navy, they decimated planet Ter-1 where the Cyberdyne Droid Foundry was located.  It was believed that every Cyberdyne Droid model was destroyed but a handful survived.  The leader of discovered T-800 in a junk heap on Ord Mantell and his engineer, Baracus, was able to revive the droid.  Without the hive mind of Cyberdyne to direct it, the T-800 imprinted on the Blood Squadron and has become fiercely loyal.  He pilots on of the squadrons B-Wing fighters and due to his droid reflexes can operate the multiple weapon systems with uncanny accuracy.  T-800 is in the forefront of any combat missions the Squadron engages in.

The head is a Reaction Terminator T-800.  The body is a SW Kenner B-Wing Pilot.  The headgear is from a Vitruvian H.A.C.K.S. boxer set.  Blaster is from a SW Retro Leia in Hoth Gear.




Devo "Whip It!"
Head is GI Joe Dusty figure.  Torso, pelvis and thighs are GI Joe Snake Eyes.  Arms and hands are GI Joe Team Commander Duke.  The legs and feet are from a WWE Deluxe Build N’Brawl MVP Figure.  The power dome was made from parts from a travel sized version of Topple.

Great job on these!. There are some brilliant figures in there - the Ithorian and Kel Dor for example. I really liked the "Steam punk" droids, great concepts! And...of course...the Whip It figure - he should be a background dancer for Jabba.

You may grow tired of hearing me say that it's a great batch every time. Sorry. It's just a great batch every time. It seems like you have a lot of fun making and naming each one, and this is something I always look forward to. Darth Dentis. ;D The Jawa with No Name. O0 Sgt. Kodon. It's so much fun every time. The Calamity gear looks especially tough on this Jawa.

Thanks, Darth More.  I wish I could take credit for the fading skin, but that was the paint on the original Ready Player One figure.  I just matche the arm color to the face color of the Shaak Ti figure. 


That Kel Dor bounty hunter is amazing looking! Great batch of customs all around.
Thank you, RC-1136.  I have really dug how well the Prince of Persia parts work for desert thug figures.


Great group of customs!  I like Sgt Kodon and Palio 56 the best.
Gracias, Eyositer.  Aliens and Droids or my favorite figures to work on.

Great job on these!. There are some brilliant figures in there - the Ithorian and Kel Dor for example. I really liked the "Steam punk" droids, great concepts! And...of course...the Whip It figure - he should be a background dancer for Jabba.
Thank you Starchaser.  I could see some Devo going very well in Jabba's palace :)

Great group!  Really like the background stories.
Thanks, Lenny.  It's certainly stretches my brain to come up with the stories, but I think it makes them more fun

Thank you, Aude.  I thought the Jawa With No Name turned out well.  Those Fortnite figures have been a boon for parts.

I am really growing partial to Palko 56
Thank you, Tamer.  I was really excited when I started taking the Fortnite figures apart, because I remembered seeing that torso jointing before in the Gears of War figures, but then never finding a way to use them.  He's a little short, but the parts came together perfectly!

Darth Dentis is by-far my favorite of the lot! So rad!
Thanks, Don.  I knew as soon as I saw those Angelforge critters I was going to have t make a jedi.  They use some solid resin, so it took some doing to get the head free.  But it was worth it :)
