I like them a lot - cool designs, the articulation seems good. I got in on the first Kickstarter. They just did another one with Cavalry (7th Cavalry to be exact). They looked great and I really wanted to jump in, but the price increased to $30 a figure for the Kickstarter. I love good toys, but $30.00 for a 3.75 inch figure is hard to swallow unless they come with a bunch of accessories. Smalljoes.com has some of the originals for sale at a decent price - but I find the line to be a little more expensive than others, like Animal Warriors of the Kingdom and Boss Fight.

Had a few minutes today, and some sun. So I snapped a couple of quick pics for fun. I've talked about Fortnite figures before, but the newest wave includes a character called Scratch. For those who like the "evil is white" (or the Empire's elite is white), I thought he would work as an Imperial assassin:





Thought I would share. I hope to get a few more customs out before St. Patrick's Day, but we'll see. Cheers!

I did this to mine.
Remember why the Sith are more powerful than the Jedi, Sidious: because we are not afraid to feel.

That's great! I like the look. So now you have a Mando assassin:) Out of curiosity, what's the background you used for that shot? It's got a great industrial look.

The figure fits very well into the Star Wars universe.
Looks like a further development of the Clone Assassin.
The outdoor pics look great.

Thanks! I hadn't thought about the Clone assassin angle at all.

Another useful Fortnite figure:
Singularity:



I like the armor design and so thought she might make a good base for another female Mandalorian:

Gadra Lorr:
Hailing from Concord Dawn, her grandfather fought alongside Jaster Mereel and her father alongside Fenn Rau. Understanding the deep division within Mandalorian culture and concerned for the safety of his family, he sent his wife and their three children to the Galactic Core to protect them. He died on Concord Dawn, but his family survived and were trained by their mother in the ways of Mandalore. Gadra is proud of her heritage but also bitter at the loss it has caused her and so many others and at the vanity of those cannot find their way to being part of the larger galactic community. When of age, Gadra donned her mother’s armor and made her way as a bounty hunter. Now she serves as head of security at The Pillar on Nubia.





The recipe is simple. The Singularity body with the helmet, guns and wrist armor from the old electronic jetpack Jango and a Mando. jetpack from the fodder bin.

And just for fun, both figures together (Singularity will get a Star Wars backstory and the spare helmet will work great for another female soldier/bounty hunter figure):

I like it. You know all the good compatible figures. Cool backstory too.

Wow, she does make a great Mando. Awesome figure. Love the paint scheme too.

Thanks Tamer, I was going to leave her, but the green was just too much for me, so I had to paint. I wanted to think of something not already over-done (too much Mando blue) and not all "dark", so this is what I came up with without making it too complicated.

Yeah they have the ole Boba Blue and Green used a lot.

I really liked that four pack of Mandos Hasbro put out over ten years ago now; especially the female ones. I still have that pack somewhere.

At least you guys are finding some ways to make some great female Mandos.

I could see you making one of these look good with some type of soft goods kama too.

Yeah, I liked those packs too (there were 2 of them, each with 7 figures). Hadn't thought about a kama, but that's a really good idea. I guess I have to buy another Singularity and come up with another paint scheme.

I was finally able to finish up my second Imperial Infantry trooper: Berrold Marsimek



and with Drest Chegram:



Recipe:
Head and Helmet = AT-ST driver Kmart exclusive
Arms and upper torso = Legacy Snowtrooper
