Wow! L.E. What a great entry.  Love the diorama you built to showcase him.  Just perfect! 

Wheeljack, you're entry is super cool.  Love your entry too!  This contest is turning out some really cool figures!

[CloneCrazy]

Only one week left to get your Nicola Acris on! Looking forward to seeing some more great submission over the weekend

Mine is hovering on the edge of being finished - gotta do a skin-match paint job so the neck and head match.  I'm torn between adding some paint-apps for visual interest and just leaving well enough alone...

[DocOutlands]

Here's my entry...



Figure is fully articulated with a ball-joint head and ball-joints in both shoulders.  Additionally, the right cybernetic arm has a pivoting elbow joint and a removable grasper, giving the hand the effect of a rotating wrist.



Here you can see the figure using two of the included accessories - a "medical scanner" and a "datapad."



Hm... I see some touchups I need to make in the paint.  Drat.  I won't have that fixed before the end of the contest, but I'm planning to fix it next weekend.  Judge accordingly.



Here, the figure's right grasper has been removed and replaced with a larger "medical apparatus" arm.  Who knows what that thing is capable of???



Figure comes with these accessories: grasper-hand, medical apparatus "hand," tool-kit with lid, medical scanner, datapad.  Backdrop wall & stand not included.

I'll discuss the making-of over on my custom figs thread shortly...

[DocOutlands]

Oh, small note - the datapad and two-piece tool-kit are Production Platform 3 resin casts.

That is brilliant!! 

[CloneCrazy]

Nicely done!!! Love the "crazy eyes", cybernetic arm, and included medical equipment!!! Another great entry 

[darthdaddy]

Nice entry Doc!

This contest has the best entries of any contest I've seen on here. I'd want all 3 of these figures in our collection.  They are just awesome! Very original!

So far we have some awesome entries.

So very true!!!

Sprywalker, I just wish I'd thought of using the nanite warhead!  That would have looked so cool attached to that medical attachment arm.

Here's my entry.  I'm not sure if you want to pay $50 for him though. He cost a lot less than that to make, labor included.  When I set out to create this action figure I wanted to make one that anyone could just create at home. The two figures I used have been on shelves in retail stores for months. With all the repacks flooding store pegs, now would be a great time to treat yourself to a custom action figure and actually add a new figure to your collection for a change.   He's even in a popular photonovel.  (Suggestive)

Pitch continues:
It's not like we are able to find any of the new Star Wars figures at retail.  

All I  used was the G.I. Joe Renegades Tunnel Rat and the Clone Wars Cold Weather Plo Koon. The head and hands are from the Plo Koon and the rest is all Tunnel Rat. I painted the arms with a few coats of Citadel's Delvan Mud wash and the hands with Reaper's Earth Brown acrylic paint. I squirted some glue from the hot glue gun into the hole in Plo Koon's head so it would fit tightly on the head peg and still be able to maintain the articulation of a ball joint."

If you pick this guy, everybody can move stagnant stock out the door and get a photonovel character as an action figure.
