These are an awesome bunch! The green bandana was just what he needed. The pedelar is awesome I don't know if it's intentional but he reminds me of Pasha Peddler from Johnny Quest one of my favorite shows of all time.

Totally!!! I just rewatched the 1964 episode with him in it. The two season original and the first season of the  1970s animated Flash Gordon are my "go to's" when I just want to unplug.

Couldn't resist:



Nojin Lostimar Banidat – the name seems pretentious, but naming conventions among the Cyopdron are a big deal for identity. As a Jedi, however, he simply goes by “Ban.” Highly secretive, Cyopdron are virtually unheard of in the galactic community, preferring to keep to themselves. As a kit, however, Ban was a little too curious for his own good and wound up an unintentional stowaway on an explorer’s ship. Finding the little guy, the explorer took him to the Jedi Temple, where, finding him to be Force sensitive, the Jedi Council decided his presence must be a sign of the “will of the Force” and commissioned his training. Resourceful, easily overlooked, and highly adaptable, Ban is often sent on reconnaissance and other sensitive missions for the Council. While unimposing, Ban is agile, relentless, and fierce; his enemies usually find out too late that they underestimated him.





Recipe: Simple!
Head and tail = Rocket Raccoon - epic version (comes with the space ship)
Body = TVC Anakin (had to dremel a hole for the tail)

I was inspired by the character Vinto Hreeda from the Imperial Assault when I managed to find a Hondo on sale. I didn't want to actually make Vinto, though. (Aude has done a brilliant version of him: http://www.imperialshipyards.net/SMF/index.php?topic=10654.msg215510#msg215510)

Instead, I built on the idea of a Rodian gunslinger and created Darcho Venstri a brown skinned Rodian who saw Vinto Hreeda in action against Stormtroopers when he was a youngster and aspired to be like him. He trained incessantly to be fast and accurate with a blaster. The years of practice have paid off and now Darcho has earned his own deadly reputation and like his hero, hates anything that even smells like the Empire.



Recipe:
Head and hands = POTF Greedo (I figured that anoles and chameleons can change colors from bright green to brown, so can't there be a brown Rodian)
Body = TVC Hondo

I love Rodians! Mr Venstri looks great in brown! I might use the coat of Mr Ohnaka for a Neimoidian custom.
Mighty TungHori still has him in stock at a reduced price:

Thanks, Philipp! The coat will work well for a variety of customs, I think. He's $11.49 on US Amazon, which with Prime free shipping makes that a cheaper option that TungHori for me (and faster).

Lodda Satler - A brilliant aquaculture specialist, Lodda has found a place beyond the bubble cities of Naboo. Her expertise has taken her to numerous planets, and she has found she appreciates the galactic community. Currently guest lecturing at the University of Coruscant, she has built a friendship with Brecca Jh’amp and can be seen after hours enjoying the Coruscant nightlife.



Recipe:
Head, arms, waist and legs = Clone Wars Jar Jar Binks
Upper Torso = Aayla Secura ROTS

Havasan Sherasadeem – Padawan learner. Survived the drop on Felucia but was separated from his Master during a dominance fight between two bull Jungle Rancors. He arrived to the battle front just in time to see his Master gunned down by their own clone troopers. He fled into the wilderness to hide. After the war, he found refuge in one of the small Felucian farming communities. He was eventually found by Sumorn Jagga, who brought him to “Sanctuary.”



Recipe:
Head, arms, and legs = Darius from Jurassic World Camp Cretaceous
Boots = cut from the 5POA "Solo" Han that came with the speeder
Torso and skirt = Zett Jukasa

New figure:

Oseya (oh-see-ya) Eddori - as a young teen, Oseya was taken captive by slavers during a school outing. She managed to escape while her captors had landed on another planet to pick up some more “merchandise.” For several long months she managed to survive on the primitive and hostile world until she was found and rescued by Tremander Brace, who happened upon the planet on a mission. Shaped by her experience, the Chagrian now serves as one of the lead investigators for a seasoned attorney that prosecutes Sentient Being Rights violation cases in the high court of the New Republic. While most of her time is spent researching, tracking down leads, and interviewing potential witnesses, she is not to be trifled with when things turn rough, but has been known to hire the Wookiee freelancer Yubookoo if she expects much trouble.





Recipe:
Head = G.I. Joe Rise of Cobra Scarlett (hair removed)
Horns = POTJ Mas Amedda (conveniently, the side horns and back are a separate piece from the rest of Amedda's head). The top of Oseya's head required sculpting to get the "head plates."
Body = Roblox Imagination Collection Vie Battle Witch
