In light of all Dan's reviews of Jurassic World toys, I thought this simple re-purposing might be in order. The Star Wars EU has a species called the Tiss'shar that are basically sentient sauroid raptors. So, using "Blue" (the green Velociraptor would be more accurate) and a Darth Vader cape I can add another EU alien species to my universe:



And it is the appropriate scale to boot.

Again, very interesting EU characters.
The quality of your outdoor pics is always great.
Excellent work.

Oh yeah, looks awesome to me. I am wondering if that awesome new articulated Raptor (the bad guy in the movie) would really make an excellent version of this. Off to share.

Well, this is interesting...I've never heard of the Tiss'shar before...it looks a little weird to me, though, seeing a dinosaur carrying a weapon as if a Velociraptor wasn't lethal enough  ;)
Great idea anyway - thanks for sharing!

Thanks FF - it was too easy to pass up :) Thanks for the compliment.

Thanks Tamer. I looked at the Indoraptor, but it is too big for the height mentioned in Wookiepedia. Might work for the 6 inch scale quite well though.

Thanks for commenting Philipp. You can check the Tiss'shar out on Wookiepedia (or look up Si-Di-Ri - he's from a comic series, cape and all). I ran across the species trying to figure out a species for my original character Lessa Geshenin (before deciding to create my own species). Anyway, the raptor idea is a bit derivative, but it's Star Wars, right?

I don't know how many people got in on the Spero Studios/Jason Bienvenu "Animal Warriors of the Kingdom" Kickstarter, but they are great figures. I took a couple of really fast pictures (I apologize for the quality; a little blurry as it was raining) just to show that they can also fit into the Star Wars Universe. Just gave Toxious a blaster and outfitted Pale as a Jedi. Ponda Baba is in for size reference, though I realized after the fact, he is about three inches behind the other figures. They are totally in scale:





You can see clear images of the figures and their accessories over at: sperotoys.com (where I believe they are still for sale).

Wow, they do work great. Nice review too. I shared this on our front pages along with a link to the kickstarter.

Thanks Tamer, I didn't really think of it as a review, more a Public Service Announcement. I suppose I could do a real review and talk about articulation, paint apps and accessories. If I have some time maybe I'll do that and post a couple better pics - though I might not hold my breath if I were you:)

LOL. I know what you mean. There are so many things I would like to do her too, reviewing being one of them. Thanks for sharing what you have.

In honor of May the Fourth be with you...a couple of customs:

1. Widlow Kordi - a Pamarthen, who like many of her people, is an adept pilot. Widlow functions as a courier or smuggler as it suits her needs. She's self-assured, quick with a blaster pistol and plays a mean hand of sabaac.

Recipe:
Head = movie Scarlett Witch
Torso = concept Starkiller
Arms = comic two-pack Mara Jade
Legs = VC Aayla Secura

2. Paige Tico:
I thought Paige had potential as a character, and certainly there is a backstory before "The Last Jedi", so I made her without the flight suit. I would like to have seen her survive in one last bomber (I really like the design of the StarFortress) - I mean, its tradition to have at least one surviving rebel ship right?


Recipe:
Head = Resistance Gunner Paige - flight cap removed, and hair sculpted on
Body = Black Series Jyn Erso
Vest = The Force Awakens 5POA Resistance Rey

So I thought Paige needed her sister Rose as a companion, and not in technician garb, so:

Rose Tico (adventurer)


and the sisters together


Recipe:
Head = Black Series Rose (resistance technician)
Torso = Comic Pack Mara Jade
Upper arms = CW Cad Bane
Forearms = Black Series Princess Leia
Legs = Concept Starkiller (by the way, the Vallejo "Oxford Blue" is a pretty good match for the color of the Mara Jade body)
