The wookie is downright cool. I love the mandos paint job and when you see the pic with the ring on the side it looks almost as if it was a earring ;D

Thanks everybody.

 The backpack is from an old GI Joe grenade-slinger named Hardball (I think).  I remember he was African-American in a white baseball jersey w/ a blue ball cap.

 I didn't realize the patriotic look of my Mando chick...in reality she's in maroon, light grey, dark grey and ice blue.  The ring on the side of the helm is based on my son's custom Mando costume...he has a ring on either side of his bucket.  The earring look is intentional.

My 3rd Mandalorian from this wave.  Based on the image of the female Old Republic Mando called Shae Vizla I created a male counterpart.

The inspiration:


Haik Vhett, progenator of the Fett namesake.  Vhett is old Mando'a for Fett.  Fetts have been Mandos for as long as they have existed, in one form or another.





Receipe:  Head from a Boba Fett, body from an Iron Man 2 Deluxe Anti-Juggernaught Armor fig, helmet from a Specialist Matt Trakker from GI Joe, hands from a Titanium 501st Trooper, backpack from an Iron Man 2 Airforce Drone, random POTF blaster, POTF bowcaster w/ stock cut off.  Most of the Iron Man bodies were too thin to really make the helmet look right, but the Deluxe Anti-Juggernaught Armor figure is more bulky in the chest...making it a perfect fit for the helmet to sit right.

Thanks for all the support!  Here is my final Sith Lord created in time for the contest, along w/ Darth Feral and Darth Xerxez.  I had a hard time deciding which one to submit.  I finally went w/ Xerxez since he had the accompanying Sith Shadowguard.

I present Darth Cthulhu.  Millenia ago, during the Hyperspace Wars a Sith Lord rose from the ranks to become the most powerful Force user known.  So great was his power, the elements themselves were his to control, as well as the minds of those around him.  "Wherever Cthulhu goes, madness follows" is a saying attributed to Jedi Master Alma Irereh, senior member of the Jedi Council of the time.  Indeed, Cthulhu radiated such power all those around him clamored for his attention...slowly going mad in the process.  Whole worlds fell to complete chaos and anarchy as the inhabitants went insane.  The Jedi and the Sith were left no choice but to band together to stop him.  Functionally immortal and able to heal from any wound sustained, the combined orders were forced to imprison him deep under the oceans of a quiet blue planet called "Urff" in the deepest reaches of the Outer Rims.  For thousands of years he slumbered in the underwater tomb called R'leh.  Slowly life appeared on Urff and they evolved into sentient beings.  Darth Cthulhu's calling seeped into their dreams.  Finally a group of priests dedicated to him found a way to unleash him.  He destroyed them in return, feasting on their souls.  The entire planet followed, as his strength returned.  Soon, he will return to the stars to continue his domination of the universe.  Even though he was freed from his imprisonment, he cannot remove the chains that bound him.  They will forever be attached to him.

Darth Chtulhu



Bending fire to his will

Bending water

Master of Elements


Receipe:  Quarren Warrior head, torso, modified spear-into-lightsaber-handle & feet.  Jungle BAT from GI Joe legs, kama from a Kota's Elite fig, real chain, misc. elemental blasts.  He was supposed to have wings from a modern GI Joe Nemesis Immortal, but they got misplaced & now seen to be lost forever.

I LOVE Darth C'thulu!!!! I am a huge Lovecraft fan!  Love it! I carefully read the story to catch any references. I love the reference to R'lyeh. I also like how you wove him into the SWs mythos. I am currently re-reading my Lovecraft and just finished Whisperer in the Dark. So I am super excited to see this.

Thanks, Lucasclones!  I am a recent inductee to the Lovecraft Cult.  I hope I did the mythos justice.
