yay! halloween customs again--sweet! thanks, chewie, gives me time to think up something particularly nasty! :twisted:
Yakfinities # 14 - CRIME BOSSES - WINNER DECLARED
- Thread starter YAK_Chewie
- Start date
Looks like it's gonna be crime bosses! I had one in the works a long time ago, but he became my infamous fat bartender instead :twisted:
We didn't have Halloween customs last year, right? Sounds cool! Ideas:
- paint a POTF2 Royal Guard white, put Chewie's (Boushh' Bounty) chain on him and you've got yourself a classic ghost!
- Or just use that Palpatine/Emperor makeover figure (there's one, right?). He could dress up as er.... Palpatine!
- And Polis Massan Medic's face reminds me a bit of Michael from Halloween.
- A Clone Trooper and Commander who dress up as each other :?
I hope I'll have finished work on our attic sometime this month, so I can get my workspace up and running again

head - SAGA 2Kitik Keedkak
arms - SAGA2 Kitik Keedkak
torso - SAGA Elan Sleezbagano
vest - Tantive IV Rebel Fleet Trooper
holster - SAGA2 Garindan
legs - SAGA2 Kitik Keedkak
This Crime Lord is essentially an arms dealer, and runs an illegal operation on Dantoonie, and has been known to supply the Badoo Corba terrorist organization as well as acquire goods from the Trade Federation in exchange for his services, which often include the indirect hiring of Bounty Hunters to keep Nute Gunray's hands clean of any involvement. Look for him to appear in the Rykrof Enloe series at some point too! 8)

Chewie, that is one of my favorite customs I've seen you make for Yakfinities. That grotesque abdomen protruding from his waistline dorsally was awesome. The vest and gun belt were nice touches too. Bad bug!
DEATH-STICK CRIME BOSS MANDO BORRLAN
Mando Borrlan runs the death-stick smuggling crime syndicate that employs Captain Jhoh Kaml and the crew of the Filpmorse Tarr. He is grotesque and violently deluded. Mando enjoys riding his custom swoop bike to impress the customers: "Show them something of real value and there will be no limit to the measure of your capabilities."
Head: Jor-El
Antennae: pom-poms from snowbunny Padme
Right arm: Galactic Heroes Durge
Left arm: Galactic Heroes Vader
Body: Rappatunie
Legs: Curious George
Tail: Beppo the Supermonkey

My God, that's an odd custom Jordan! Hee Hee, looks like something that you'd see in the old Star Wars cartoons or something... I never would have imagined that a Rappertunie body could be used for something like this, you definitely come up with some very original designs.
Now how did you make that swoop he's riding on?
:wink:

Thanks, Chewie--yeah, this guy disturbs me. He's odd for sure. The dark eyebrows make him look like Michael Dukakis, which makes him even stranger. He's just gross.
His bike is a dismantled Durge Swoop Bike with reassembled handles and black paint job; the silver shield on the front is from the hair do-dads of some Ep. I Padme doll (and so are the bars around the handles); the R2 head on the back is the removed center of the Fisher Price large R2 head; and the antenna on the back is from a spider droid.
I think we started the month off pretty well, eh? A bad-ass killer praying mantis and a fat-ass monkey-tailed Kurtz. Heh-heh!
Long live Yakfinities!

Yeah, I am looking forward to this month's entries! Jordan and Chewie have already kicked us off with a BANG!!!
Good job on both, I really like them. I've been kicking around an idea for mine, we'll see how it comes out.

What's an out of work Jedi to do while exiled on a planet full of gangsters? Why, get a piece of the action, of course!

Being a Dark Lord of the Sith AIN'T all its cracked up to be. The hours suck, the pay is lousy, tbe boss is a jerk.
So, how's a Darth to suplement his income? By becoming a Sithpimp! Plus, bling is a job perk! A Sithpimp gets his powers from bling! Where else are they gonna let you carry a Swaggersaber??

Wow that's very creative, and really well implemented, cool!! Just one question: where's his fish tank shoes at? haha. Great!!
haha. Great!!
Wow, those are some outrageous customs Hawkeye... hilarious, but also well executed. I've seen many pimp-style customs in the past but these could be the best ones that I've seen.
:wink:
:wink:
Some really cool figures.
I would like to create one but i have a handful of duplicate figures through buying job lots on Ebay and i just don't know what to do with them.

I have 2 entry's in this months contest..
First up is a Zarbak weapons dealer Eebb Gun Me. This guy has sold Imperial Empire weapons to the rebels and rebel weapons to the Imperial Empire. He is totally in it for the money and can get any weapon for a fee. Eebb Gun Me is one of the richest people in the known universe, and has alias in every organization. One thing to point out is that he will never leak his inside information, so rest asured that if you are about to start a war, that you will get the surprize attack on your enemy. Eebb likes war, war is money!
The second crime boss is good old Cradossk, the former head of the bounty hunters guild and Bossk's pappy. The old trandoshan was a smart hunter/ warrior/ bounty hunter but old age and bossk's rage ended his life during the bounty hunter wars.

Stormtripper,
Great backstories and the figures look cool, but the pics are a bit dark--any chance you could "shed some light" :wink: on your creations?

Great stuff so far...
Here's what I was able to come up with this month...
Mostly a simple parts swap...
Don Jerjerrod ... with his goons Sledge and Skoobak ... although he has thugs to do his dirty work, the Don enjoys using the big guns and getting messy now and then.
Head - Jerjerrod
Body - Death Star Gunner
Cape - Vader (I think)

How cool are these entries so far?
Chewie - nice job on using the Kitakk.... I don't believe I've ever seen someone use this to make another figure. Very kitschy, and believable to fit in with Star Wars.
Jordan - Wow, Mando Borrlan really creeps me out. I've always wondered what the Rappertunie torso might look like used for some grotesque character. Very fine job of making a crime boss look like he deserves the name!
Hawkeye - -- I have seen the occasional "pimped" out figure. These are the best I've seen hands down! Wow, Obi-wan Zebra striped go-go boots just give the Jedi a whole new feel. And I love the Vader... awesome use of the Micro machines Gammorean Guard for his cane. :lol:
Stormtripper - nice entries for both of your customs... The trandoshan is really coll with the striated paint job you gave him for a different reptilian skin. Looks good. The Zabrak however, I think is my favorite. He just looks like you wouldn't want to mess with him. Are those arms from the Dagobah Luke?
Horse - Now that's how you use a pegwarmer. Jerjerrod's expression says it all. Put him in black, and add the nice chops and he looks like he's ready to have someone "whacked."
Here's my entry for this month... Nothing too spectacular, but I think he came together pretty well. At this point I haven't even had time to think up a name, much less a backstory. Will get to that soon, unless someone has a good suggestion?!
