Very colorful!  Reminds me of the type of character you might see on that old Droids cartoon from the '80s...

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

Really fantastic job on Ziro...never get tired of looking at your work on him.

Master Zao has got to be my personal favorite in this group; always enjoyed the brief glimpses of his character in the comics and you've done justice to him in plastic form.  Excellent execution here.

I love how the lekku on the Twi'ilek turned out on the slythmonger; very nice work.  I'm sure I'm probably missing something that just hasn't crossed my mind yet, but what are the GIJoe glow lights this guy is holding supposed to represent?

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

Glad you all liked the latest batch.  

Yeah on my 1st attempt at Ziro, the mouth drove me crazy everytime I looked at it, so I had to give it another go.  I much happier with him now, but I'm still not in love with him when I look at him from every angle.  All but one to be exact.  I still can't stand the way he looks when I look down at him from above and I can't figure out yet the best way to fix that.  Sculpting definitely has its challenges.  If anyone wants to offer any tips, your comments would be greatly appreciated.

@JediMerc
The green props in his hands from the Joe figures are a powerful hallucinogen that he peddles at the Outlander Club on Coruscant.  I wrote a backstory on the blog and when I have time and not posting from my mobile device, I'll add his story to my original post here on the forum.  I figured Elan Sleazebaggano (I don't think I spelled that right, I'm doing it from memory) had those test tubes that he carried and I thought those Joe accessories could maybe used to represent something similiar.
