What about something like "ultimate version of your favorite character"?

:!:!! ! ! ! !! ! ! ! !! JEDI HUNTERS !! ! ! !! ! !! ! ! ! ! !!:!:

They can be any species or droid, force sensitive or not from any era at all :idea:

 

[Incom]

Er.... so this is for the July Yakfinities, right? Man, YF is such a succes, it's hard to keep track!

Ok, here's some ideas:

- little guys, like Jawas, Ewoks, Ugnaughts. Just use your imagination
- characters with cyborg limbs or something like that (metioned before)
- vintage custom (might be too specific, since not everyone has some beatup vintage figures lying around)
- big game hunters <tips hat to Jedistyle>
- characters from the TotJ series

 

[pendragon]

Aw jeeze guys! So many good choices... I have none to add, but I gotta say that so far, I like:

- Big Game Hunters - 'cause that could get REAL interesting in the SW universe

- Pilots - 'cause they've been neglected - pod racers, B-wing Aces, Rebs, Imps - they're all good! Show 'em some love!

- Jedi Hunters - 'cause who doesn't love the bad guys?

and my fave:
- Cyborgs (!!!) - 'cause I love the idea of cybernetics in Star Wars (and I actually already have some parts out for something I had in mind, so I might actually get it done... )

 

[raziel]

aw yeah,

This is gonna be good I just know, Jedi Hunters is my suggestion but also I am really liking the big game hunters idea.

MAYBE if we can combine the two into a "hunters" catagory then we wont loose votes picking inbetween them?

*pilots of any vehicle - naboo police, skybus/ airtaxi

*Hunters of any variety - jedi, bounty or big game

*Little guys - Jawas, ugnaughts or maybe young versions of a species?

I think these out of all our ideas would be one of the best yet!

 

[YAK_Chewie]

I'm glad to see the Hunter's category winning so far... there's just so many great ideas that could be made if it wins.

:wink:

 

[jedistyle]

i went with hunters. i'd like to see a good old stead fast SW universe occupation for the next challenge.

 

[YAK_Chewie]

I kind of like that idea too for it to be more of an 'old fashion' theme that really fits in well with established genre of Star Wars. Maybe eventually there will be enough support for some sort of vintage-esque tribute theme that we do too...

:wink:

 

[stormtripper]

bounty hunter all the way...

 

[YAK_Chewie]

I'm going to go ahead and start getting a bounty hunter or two started... looks like this one is leaning that way...

:wink:

 

[Incom]

No fair! :shock:

Just kidding. So, if it's gonna be (bounty) hunters, how about excluding Mandalorians? :wink:

 

[YAK_Chewie]

I think the figure I am making for it will be really cool... very easy custom to make too, using a very nice new TAC figure... I actually finished it already but am trying to hold out from showing it just yet.

:wink:

 

[jedistyle]

wow, you finishe dit already and the poll hasn't even closed yet chewie! :shock:

sounds like your having a bit of trouble with premature customization. :wink: JK.

this shoul dbe a great theme.

 

[Super_Commando]

Hehehehehehe premature LOL! I can't wait cause I'm a bounty hunter kinda guy. Also no way that I like Boba Fett,nope Huh uh.....OK You caught meLOL. BOBA FETT RULES!!!!!!!!!!

 

[YAK_Chewie]

Ok, got my entry in for this month!

TORACCA - Wookiee Bounty Hunter. This guy will appear in the Rykrof Enloe series. Following the Clone Wars, this Wookiee emerged from the mists to annihilate entire tribes of the Trandoshan people. Rumors persist that this Wookiee was once a Jedi Knight, and following the betrayal by the Republic, he lost his vision of the Jedi way and began to take out his anger on the sworn enemy of the Wookiees - the Trandoshans.

head - Early Bird Chewbacca
torso - McQuarrie Chewbacca
arms - McQuarrie Chewbacca
legs - Early Bird Chewbacca
bandolier - Early Bird Chewbacca

:wink:

I always love Wookiees, custom or not, and that bounty hunter rules! Great backstory, too. Excellent use of some rare parts--you're a true customizer, Chewie! Beautiful work, as always! :!:

 

[stormtripper]

The only thing that throws me off are the gloves, I would have given him hairy hands...but very smart use of parts here chewie. I hoping to find one of those if not 2 to make my own custom with.

 

[CommanderKorbra]

No fair! :shock:

Just kidding. So, if it's gonna be (bounty) hunters, how about excluding Mandalorians? :wink:

So the custom I finished today can't enter... but I didn't make it for this challenge anyways lol. I'll throw together something tomorrow and paint it up for the challenge. 8)

Right arm: Droid Factory Escape Padme
Left arm: AOTC Arena Padme
Belly, hips, legs: Episode I Final Ceremony Padme
Jet-pack: Galactic Heroes Durge

This one could have been a movie crossover too--I kind of thought of this gal as one of the Bond chicks from "Thunderball".
