These mash-ups are fantastic!  I absolutely love your Dinobot-inspired Mando squad and these new 'Constructicons' are a nice addition on the 'droid' side of things in the SW universe.  Great work!

Light side, dark side...meh.  Just give me a lightsaber and a blaster and I'll take care of it!

Man, it has been FOREVER since I was kickin' around the Yards.  Sometimes life gets in the way of fun, ya know?  Anyhow...here are some WIP shots for those interested.  I have more WIPs now than ever before...eventually I'll have finished pics to show. 

This WIP is an Ice Elemental for my Cryomancer member of the Lin Kuei ninja to summon.  1st pic is factory standard, 2nd is with a little dry brushing done and weapon built.



This is a fig I picked up for $3 at Big Lots.  It is from a failed multi-media game called "Redakai".  No work done to this fig yet.  Imma turn him into an armored gladiator named "Rumble Bee".  Punny, right?


This is a WIP of one of my most favoritest literary characters EVAR, Drizzt Do'Urden, Drow Elf Ranger by RA Salvatore.


This WIP is a modern ninja commando mercenary named "Bloodloss".


These WIPs are a ninja trio based on the "Sad Flutes" clan from the awesome movie "The Way of The Warrior".


Lastly, here is a WIP of my Predator "Dark Hunter" Avatar of Death.  He still needs LOTS of work.


Thanks for tuning in!  I'll try to not be such a stranger!

One weekend, Dr. Mindbender got hammered drunk and watched the nothing but the "Robocop" trilogy for three days straight.  When he stumbled into his lab on Monday, he decided to create a squad of cybernetic ninja.  The Arishikage Clan saw his plan for what it was...the drunken ramblings of a psychotic madman.  The Lin Kuei Clan, on the other hand were all for it.  They volunteered two of their top assassins, code-named Sektor and Cyrax.
