I love the idea of a biological impersonating a Magnadroid. The figure looks great!

I frankly don't understand the Vice Admiral of the Resistance flying around in a wartime scenario wearing an evening gown. I saw a version of her that looked a bit more like something Padme would have worn and that had a more military feel to it. So I used that image as a basis for this (my) version of Amilyn Holdo:

Head = Ellie Sattler (Jurassic Park)
Body = Thunderbirds Are Go Kayo Kyrano figure

Yeah, I have to admit she didn't pull off that military feel to me in the film. This would have helped immensely. Off to share.

I've wanted to build this guy for a long while...finally got around to it:

Kapp Dendo, rebel operative from Michael Stackpole's "X-wing Squadron"



here's the reference picture:



Recipe:
Helmet = Biker Scout - Black series (dremeled out)
Head = Assassin's Creed Altair
Body = Biker Scout - Black series
additions: Endor Rebel coat (sleeves removed); VC Lando Calrissian holster and belt; shoulder armor (heavy craft paper); horns (Green Stuff); bandolier from a GI Joe Steel Brigade figure
I think that's it

Thanks, Tamer. I feel like this design gives her a little more "playability" too (which is always a big deal for me) :)

Clakxis Gan - built by the Sharu before they hid themself under the plastic pyramids. Clakxis is one of several "sentient" droids built by the Sharu for the purpose of exploring and diplomacy. Hidden within the great pyramids, Clakxis has again become active in the galaxy since the transformation of Rafa V by the Mindharp. The Sharu no longer care to expand and look down on most galactic species, but Clakxis is still curious to learn and explore, so it wanders the galaxy satisfying its thirst for new experience and knowledge.

I like this figure you could actually see it in the SW universe.

Clakxis is an interesting little guy! I really like your take on Holdo, too.
