LOL, LC-SB...those holes in the blue-bucket Mando helm are there because I forgot to put on his custom light and rangefinder the day of the photoshoot.  Thanks for reminding me I need to add his greeblies back on!

A while back I posted pics of a Hovertank clone crew called the "GreyBoys".  Here is their forward eye in the sky, Snoop in his Heavy Recon Jetpack.

Heavy Recon Jet Trooper, Snoop:







Team pic:


The jet pack is a mini-rig from the 90's POTF2 line.  It was called "Crowd Control Stormtrooper".  The claw arm was replaced w/ another blaster, and the rotating radar dish is magnetically attached.

His name reminds me of Sneak Peak from the old ARAH Joe line. Of course SP didn't fly this is a great design!

Thanks for all the support, guys (and gals?).  I've loved that backpack since back in the day.  I've got another one outfitted with the two claws from both sets...dunno what I'll do w/ that one yet.  Anywho...here's more!

Introducing the Gladiator Droid (FM-132) known as "Crush":






Created prior to the Clone Wars, the Gladiator Droid "Fighting Mech" series was introduced to much fanfare amongst those who enjoyed droid fighting.  The series was considered top of the line in the day, introducing several prototype cognitive programs that would find their way into other droid models.  The FM droids were prized as highly intelligent, vicious fighters.  FM-132 was the last of the line, and is currently the only known survivor.  When his master was slain during the Clone Wars, FM-132 (known as "Crush") set out on his own.  He traveled the starlanes, pitting himself in fights the galaxy over.

Crush is made from a "Titanium Man" from the Iron Man 2 line.  His hands were replaced with claws from a "Wreckage" Transformer from the 1st movie line.

Here is an older set: 

Bex Zodol and TC-33 "Trey"



The Galaxy's first and only Mando "popstar". The only Mando who wants to be seen...his boyish good looks and flair for the dramatic, coupled with the fact that he only hunts "badguys" have gained him unrivaled popularity.  His droid acts as his PR agent, and has secured rights to Bex action figures, costumes, holo-zines, audio/visual recordings,...the list goes on and on.  Currently the star of a reality-holo show called "Bex the Bounty Hunter" which follows him on "everyday adventures" which, in reality, are more-often-than-not staged theatrics AND an animated children's holo called "The Amazing Adventures of Bex Zodol" which he writes, voices himself and produces.  The ani-holo is a twist on the tried-and-true "superbeing" formula, starring Bex as the hero, a supporting cast of misfits and droids and a diabolical arch-nemesis. Tween girls love him, boys want to be him.  He carries a lightsaber he claimed as a trophy after defeating a "powerful Sith Lord".  In actuality, he purchased the authentic lightsaber from an antiques dealer in the Outer Rim.  Despite all this, he is actually a hunter to be reckoned with (when he wants to be)...it's the only thing that has kept the Bounty Hunter's Guild from declaring him forfeit and sending one of their own after him.
