Thanks for the support!

Tankster: I LOVE THE BORG!  If ya scroll back, I've got a larger alien Borg in here somewhere, plus one more I've never posted. This is the first in this scale, and I'm super psyched.

Thanks, EnigmaticOne!

Here are some mo':
TOR-era Jedi Intercessors.  Intercessors are, for all intents and purposes, Council-appointed assassins.  These highly trained Jedi Hunt down Sith wherever and whenever they must.  Grouped into teams of two and three, they answer only to the Jedi Council and are authorized to utilized any means necessary to defeat the Sith threat.


Kubaz Jedi Intercessor "Gaphettol"






Recipe:
Head: POTF2 Garindan
Body: "Whirlwind Kick" Snake Eyes
Lower Arms: Snowtrooper
Right Hand: ???
Left Hand: Iron Man of some sort

Bith Jedi Intercessor "Filuup G'aamh"





Recipe:
Head: POTF2 Figrin Da'an
Body: "Whirlwind Kick" Snake Eyes
Lower Arms: Accelerator Suit Ripcord
Hands: Tron Blackguard
 

Finished the "Redator"!  This is my latest Kenner Predator Upgrade piece.  This Predator is an Arbitor class Hunter.  When a Hunt goes wrong, or other Yautja get out of line, "Longshot" the Sniper is sent in to clean up.  As The Lawkeeper, Longshot is authorized to Hunt other Predators if they have broken the Rules of the Hunt.  The traditional shoulder-mounted plasma caster has been replaced with a custom guass rifle.  The guass rifle fires non-explosive metal slugs via magnet projection.  The slug is wrapped in an ion field to penetrate even the most highly armored targets.  Longshot carries a Predator "burner" cannon underslung on his right arm.  He is also equipped with a variety of tools used to disquise, destroy or alter evidence of Hunting activity.







Special Effect projectile:



"What's next?" you ask.  "Here is a teaser", I reply...radiating swagger like a young Sean Connery.


Thanks for stopping buy!  Visit the gift shop on your way out!
