Great looking figure. I really wish that we would've seen these in live action.

I apparently stopped getting alerted when you post. Awesome customs, as always! I especially like the K-Pop demon hunter figures. Really well done!

 

[mousedroidhoojib]

Thanks so much, @darthapathy, @Starchaser and @EndUser77.

Never say never about getting new types of troopers into live action - Disney has to recoup their investment somehow and will likely keep making content for a long while yet, likely by dipping more frequently into Legends for ideas.

I trust we all have seen the Hot Toys 12" and Mattel 6" and 12" KPop Demon Hunters figures shown (and made available for pre-order in some cases)? The Mattel pieces look great, and are very reasonably priced.

The unexpected success of Star Wars and its subsequent merchandising led to a spate of knock-offs, including by Tara Toy Corporation of Glendale, New York, whose Star World Figure Case depicted a range of familiar, but wholly unique, characters on its cover.

Love that...are you going to do anymore of the "oddities"? There's not a full body, but it might be fun to "fill in the blanks."

 

[mousedroidhoojib]

Thanks heaps @Starchaser and @EndUser77. I wasn't originally planning on putting together any more of the Star World figures, but I did initially think the same about KPop Demon Hunters too after Rumi! I do think the droids - which I saw were humourously referred to as OU812 and I81B4U - might be an option at some point.

With the galaxy falling deeper into turmoil, Falleen civilians found ready employment as grunts for Black Sun.

Splendid work and creativity as always. Your soft goods work is always especially nice.

That Star World custom is very interesting and obvious that a lot work went into the sculpting.

😉

 

[mousedroidhoojib]

Thanks so much, @Starchaser , @EndUser77 and @YAK_Chewie. I know the niche I work in is not for everyone, so nice words as to the quality is always heartily appreciated.

While their female companions tend to get more attention, male Mon Calamari dancers perform Squid Lake at opera houses throughout the galaxy.

As opportunities for honest employment in the Outer Rim grow slimmer with the fall of the Republic, desperate citizens take up fallen Phase III trooper armour and weapons and become mercenaries for the highest bidder.

Bandai introduced the transforming Machine Robo line to the Australian market in 1983, branded as Machine Men. Even when the line found success in overseas markets branded as Gobots, the Machine Men branding stayed in place in Australia, even appearing in the cartoon and film.
As Train Man/MR-05/Loco was the first of a small number of Machine Men that I had as a child before moving onto Hasbro's Transformers line, I thought that I would try to make my own version of the character with some improved articulation and more in scale with the Deluxe Class of Hasbro's current line, but maintaining the vintage transformation style.

Recipe:

* 3D print of my own design
* Citadel "Chaos Black", "Blood Red", "Averland Sunset", "Ultramarines Blue", "Burnished Gold", "Chain Mail" paints

Mighty Machine Men, Mighty Robots!

Mighty Machine Men, Mighty Vehicles!

 

[Starchaser]

That's awesome 👏

 

[EndUser77]

Too cool, man.

 

[mousedroidhoojib]

You are too kind, @Starchaser and @EndUser77. Thanks so very much as always.

What might the galaxy's most incompetent bounty hunter, Rango Tel aka "Tank Head" look like if Rule 63 was applied?

That Rango custom is cool. Such an obscure character! Nice job, especially like the helmet.

😉

As Truck Man/MR-09/Dumper was one of a small number of Machine Men that I had as a child before moving onto Hasbro's Transformers line, I thought that I would try to make my own version of the character with some improved articulation and more in scale with the Voyager Class of Hasbro's current line, but maintaining the vintage transformation style.

Mighty Machine Men, Mighty Robots!

[Starchaser]

I'm loving these! 😊

 

[mousedroidhoojib]

Thanks so much @Starchaser and @EndUser77. I am very much enjoying putting these guys together so expect to see more in future. Dumper took about 50 hours design time (about 15 hours printing), while Loco took about 80 hours (about 20 hours printing) so maybe at some point, I will be able to churn these out a little quicker!

Supreme Leader Kylo Ren commissions TIE Mechs - walking versions of the TIE Silencer Fighter - to subdue the Resistance alongside ground troops.

With the shadow of war once more hovering over the galaxy, simple tasks such as transporting freight between systems has become a dangerous business for pilots such as Tegfor Lest who merely want to make an honest living.
