Yes Shawn! That would have been a great strategy. They're doing it with Marvel Legends, they could totally have done this with TVC

You would think the Big D wouldn't mind that now. I wonder how much pull Lucasfilm has with the SW Brand now?

No idea who would "drive that bus" but the idea is solid. My one concern would be having to buy a bunch of repacks/repaints to complete a character. Hasbro is already overdoing the repaint thing and leaving all the interesting background characters out of the mix. Additionally, they are so enamored with the 6 inch line, they would probably put it there and not with TVC where the world building can really thrive. I guess I'm saying, "The idea is excellent, I don't trust Hasbro's execution."

A single for tonight, will retake shot tomorrow in the sunlight:

Brecca Jh'amp - Brecca is a financial analyst for the Bank of the Core, one of the most influential and prestigious banks in the galaxy. Attuned to patterns, as was common to her species, Brecca was extraordinarily gifted at seeing trends in the market, and has done very well for her employer and as an independent broker on the Interstellar Stock Exchange. She loves the finer things in life and enjoys a spell in the Uscru District after work. Her employer wants to keep her safe, so has assigned Langust to shadow her on her outings. 



Recipe:
Head = POTF Figrin D'an (courtesy of JDeck)
Torso/Arms = Breha Organa (vest = Forcelink 2.0 Corellia Qira)
Lower torso/legs = Xyber 9 Anakonda

Thanks Shawn. The galaxy has got to have more than pilots, soldiers and criminals, right? I'm working on a trash collector next :)

As promised, outdoor pictures:


and with her security "detail":


So folks weigh in on this one. I switched the Breha hands out for Figrin D'an's hands, which do you like better?

One more:
Poggu Narrs - Freighter pilot. Poggu always wanted to ply the star lanes. As a child he was more interested in flying than fighting, though he can hold his own. Unlike so many of his species, he didn’t become a bounty hunter or hired gun. Instead, he worked in shipyards and on starships until he could afford one of his own. An adept pilot, Poggu is known on Rodia as “the Ferryman” because many young bounty hunters hire him as transport to start their careers.

Coat and Arms = Walmart Black Series TFA Han Solo

I think the larger hands give her more of an alien appearance. Still like that Crab Guy. Man, can you see that walkin up on you?

Thanks Shawn. I'm leaning toward the Bith hands as well. But we'll see if anyone else chimes in  :)

For a long time, I've toyed with doing a Tusken bounty hunter. Then I found a Legends character from the Dark Horse comics named Sardu Sallowe. He worked with 4-LOM and Zuckuss and survived a run in with Boba Fett. So, here is an older, more seasoned Sardu Sallowe dressed in cast off Range Trooper armor (which serves to keep him warmer on temperate to cold planets):





Recipe:
Head/lower torso and legs = Black series 3.75" Tusken Raider
Torso and arms = TAC Range Trooper
I had to put some hot glue dabs between the "skirt" and Tusken lower torso, or the skirt would slip down leaving a sizeable gap that I didn't like. I will possibly add a Gaffi stick and hood at a later date.

Thanks, RC. Been working on non-military characters...maybe just "back grounders" but wanted to put some thought into them.
