Beautiful outdoor pics.
The Fortnite Visitor figure fits great into the SW universe.

Thanks FialaFernbrugg. I thought a heads up on Visitor might be helpful for folks.

Great update. Love that weird alien looking creature. Fits well. Could see adding some awesome arty to that one.

That Rose looks way better. New body fits her facial frame so much better. Off to share some of your update.

Thanks so much Tamer. I thought the Chryssalid was pretty cool and worth sharing.

Wow, that Chryssalid looks awesome! What an interesting creature! This would fit perfctly on a Felucia diorama and reminds me a lot of the Knights of the Old Republic videogames...
Stunning. Do you think I can get one of those online?

The Fortnite Figures look fun, too! I also like your Rose Tico customs in alternate costumes - especially the adventurer Rose!
Sarco Plank looks amazing, too! What a great combination of parts! Did you use one of the Royal Guards of The Black Series or even one from tunghori?

Thanks for sharing so much imagination!

Thanks so much Philipp, I really appreciate your consistent contribution to our little hobby. To answer your questions:
1. Yes, I'm sure you can find the Chryssalid online ( U.S. ebay has several currently - some for a reasonable price). I agree with you completely about it fitting in with the environment on Felucia.
2. For Sarco, I used the Walmart Black series version (I either ordered it from Entertainment Earth in a sale or found it on clearance at a Walmart - I can't remember which).

Thank you so much for your support! I didn’t know XCOM before, but it looks like a very interesting and high-quality strategy game. I did find some offers for Chryssalids on ebay.com starting from $13, which is great! Shipping to German would be over 20 bucks though. Did you find yours on ebay, too?
Unfortunately there are no offers here in Germany at the moment, but I’ll keep my eyes open.
Thank you also for your great advice on the Hobbit figures! I found them easily  used and cheap on ebay - awesome material for customs!

That’s what I hoped! The ERGs were quite cheap at the end - $5 each if I remember correctly...

Keep up the great work and thanks for the heads up!

- Philipp

Yes I did find my Chryssalid on ebay. I've sent you a pm (at least I think I did :P).

Very nice. I could see her having a set of goggles too. Might be fun to figure out how to get those to fit though.

Off to share the update.

D'oh - I should have thought of that. Let me see what's in the old fodder box and I might have to make a wee little update:)

Parvu Tenaket - a Guardian of the Whills, he was off planet at the destruction of Jedha City, tracking a small group of thieves who had absconded with a shipment of Kyber crystals. After recovering the crystals, Parvu made his way back to the moon of Jedha to find the temple and pilgrim city destroyed and his brethren dead or missing. In the face of the horror, Parvu decided that he needed to stay on Jedha to carry on the work of his order, such as it was, and learn to deal with the overwhelming grief through meditation on the Force. Parvu had a little more aggressive nature than some of his fellow Guardians (such as Chirrut Imwe) and so carried a vibroknife and vibrostaff along with his lightbow.





Recipe:
Head = GI Joe Retaliation Firefly
Cloak = Chirrut Imwe
Body = Indiana Jone Thuggee warrior (I turned the skirt 180 degrees)
Arms = Legacy sandstorm Han (with the armband from Imwe cut off and glued to the right arm
Cap/Hat = scuplted from Kneadatite (Green Stuff) and modelled on a Medieval pilgrim/traveller hat
