  The female Bounty hunter looks great! Also, the sculpting on the spiner is very nice. I may have to use the hobbit torso for some dudes I'm working on. its hard to find outfits that accomidate large necks.

Thanks JDeck. Those orc torsos have a lot of potential for sure.

Nice update, off to share.

Thanks Tamer.

Thanks so much. I appreciate the encouragement:)

[Starchaser]

Okay, so its not a custom, but I really couldn't resist putting these two together :





After an incredibly challenging season, first discovering the beachhead of an alien species from outside the known galaxy and then guiding the fledging New Republic forces on an assault to prevent this brutal and unusual species and their bio-weapons from spreading terror throughout the galaxy, the Kyuzo scout Chiro is granted a much needed breather at home on Phatrong. He looks forward to a long ride on his loyal stiltacat, Jimsen.

That Dark Crystal Stryder looks fantastic to me too. I could easily see a Stormtrooper or Mando on its back too. Great backstory.

[Starchaser]

Thanks Tamer. I just couldn't help taking a picture of one of my favorite characters on one of my favorite creatures I do agree that these Landstriders have great potential for mounts for assorted Star Wars characters/figures. If Funko releases these as individual pieces, I could totally see them being bought in large quantities for things like photo-novels.

[Tamer]

Yes, I could too. It is well known that the Empire would regularly tame the local beasties and use them in garrison for patrols.

What a great idea ! It certainly fits in to the Star wars world ! I like it

[JDeck]

 Yeah man that totally fits in the star wars universe. A lot of times in star wars they use that lone rider western archetype. Thats what it reminds me of.

[Starchaser]

You're right. Hadn't thought of the iconic lone cowboy imagery, but it does kinda evoke that. I do think that I might have to customize Embo into Chiro now. Just got to find me a spare Embo:)

[Starchaser]

While I'm at it: I'm looking for the lower legs (knees down) and lower arms and hands of a Hrchek Kal Fas if anyone has the parts and is willing to negotiate "pm" me. Thanks. (I don't want to pay the crazy after market price for this figure when I only really want a portion of him).

[Starchaser]

So I've taken the opportunity to play with the idea I started when I took a photo of the Landstrider.

I present: Khiro - a New Republic scout (and his trusted stiltacat mount Jimsen):





Khiro was responsible for discovering the beachhead of a extra-galactic species preparing an assault on the shattered Empire. Calling in support from the fledgling New Republic fleet and army and help coordinate the attack that crushed the front edge of the alien expeditionary force, driving these it out of the galaxy and saving the galactic community from the destruction of this hateful species of warriors and bio-engineers:)

After the exhausting challenge, he looks forward to time spent riding the countryside of his home Phatrong. Hope you enjoy!

Great work the creature from the Dark Crystal really works well in the SW universe.

I agree, that Landstrider is perfect in any sci fi verse. Off to share the update.
