The last two custom are off the charts, love them both bro,

[(SID)]

Great stuff here.

I love that CORPS body. Been collecting that single figure for years... It's probably the single best easiest to acquire KO body. It looks exactly like soo many of the background costumes in EP1-2

The alien is cool too. You should make atleast another one. Love the long neck and the height. Reminds me how much of a waste most SW aliens are... I wish they would just let fans design them (submissions). Yours would be a perfect example.

Very nice. I like it. Off to share.

Thanks Tamer

Very cool Mando, no pun intended. I really like your new alien, you make great species. I've been trying to reply, but my internet is spotty.

Oh...but my kids so liked the pun:) Thanks for responding. Sorry about the spotty internet, hope you get that resolved.

I appreciate the feedback SID, glad you like Terpiklo. I have a lot of fun designing new aliens for the Star Wars universe - partly because its very creative, partly because I get disappointed at how few alien figures get made. I like your idea of fan submissions - it reminds me of the old design-an-alien competition in the Star Wars Galaxy magazine.

I may get around to another Kearawees, but I've got to do Khin'ju (and several other planned customs) first.

I agree with your perspective on the usefulness of "The Corps" Ogre body - it has a lot of potential applications.

It's quite bizarre to see a green meerkat, but I don't want to imply this is the most bizarre thing we can find in the Star Wars universe. Not even talking about the fact it's dressed and most SW aliens are humanoid...
This is a cool looking custom! Great job on the sculpted parts!

Another interesting and great looking custom figure.
The Kearawees fit perfectly in the Star Wars universe.
Excellent work.

Khin'ju Alu'tharen:

 I've got to do a bit of clean up on him, so I won't call him "done" - but he's close enough to post. The story on this figure starts as a challenge from an employee at a vintage toy store called BobaKhan (shout out to my friends at BobaKhan - they sell on ebay and Amazon, but have a store front in the city of Everett, Washington). I buy fodder (and figures) from them. One day I was in and they had this Chap Mei hunter with a lion vest. One of the guys challenged me to make a Star Wars appropriate figure using the lion vest. Didn't take long to figure this out.

Vest and belt - Chap Mei hunter figure.
Head and Feet - Papo lion warrior
Torso - Beta Ray Bill
Legs - Eric Masterson/Thunderstrike figure

The hunters together:

Thanks Stan! Sometimes I enjoy the creativity of building an entirely new species. Sometimes (as with this one) I just get frustrated that Hasbro hasn't given us some generic aliens of species common to the Star Wars Universe. There are plenty from the movies, but also a few key races that show in many different media types. The two I'm most frustrated about are the Noghri (Rukh, now canon in Rebels) and the Cathar - lion people are cool! So I have to try and create my own. I would love it for JJ to put cameos of these species in the new movie!

Thanks Tamer, I will eventually get back to the finishing touches - repainting the eyes, painting the gloves (white is not a good color for a tracker/hunter) and cleaning up the joints and will probably post a new picture then.
