That was the first thing that went through my head as well, lol.
Very nice figure for sure, as have been all of the entries so far.

Yakfinities #27 - BLACK SUN
- Thread starter YAK_Chewie
- Start date
great looking customs everybody, I suppose that I will make a contribution this month... Here is my dark sun punk.
Looks great! Your camera doesn't nearly do your custom justice. From what I can make out.. he looks really cool! Mind sharing a parts list?

looks like there are some cade skywalker pars with Maul's head and Mutt's jacket
I logged an account a while back just to participate in these challenges, and then forgot about them. Anyways, I'll try to keep up with them now.
This is an older custom of mine, but he seems to fit, so I'll post him. I'll make a new one later.
Without further ado, I present Blingo, Black Sun sponsored Rodian erm... businessman:

Apologies for the double post. I just want to add the custom I specifically created for this month. I present a black sun cyborg hacker/enforcer:
He is a mispainted Grand Moff Trachta I picked up in Hong Kong with a robe and ROTS Palpatine's hood, which has a hole cut in the back to accommodate the wire.
I also took some better shots of Blingo:

Wow KillerVole, I can't believe you sewed a little hat for Blingo. My fingers would be all bloody if I tried something like that.
I have a few customs that I can enter into this YAKfinities.
This is Vigo Varlari, a mean SOB of a vigo in Black Sun. His body has been ravaged by a rare disease that causes sores and boils to erupt through his skin. As you could probably guess this doesn't put him in the best of moods and he is know to be especially cruel. On a regular basis he must have the uppermost layers of skin peeled off of his head to prevent his mouth/nose from being covered over by the disease.
I need to get some better pictures of him. A lot of detail is lost in my poor lighting.
Parts list:
HEAD-Trigate Creations
BODY-Pirates of the Caribbean guy (one of the zombie fish guys)
BELT/SKIRT-Saesee Tiin
Here are two of his medical droids
BAX-49 is Varlari's head medical droid and sometimes acts as an interpreter.
Parts list:
HEAD/ARMS: Phantom Menace C3PO
BODY/LEGS: POTF2 8D8
I didn't bother coming up with a name for this droid. He needs some sort of clear stand as he is supposed to float about a foot and a half off the floor. I haven't really been able to come up with a good solution to that.
Part list:
BODY: Ertl MIR space station model
ARMS: 8D8/Vintage FX-7
There is another medical droid that I'm working on but I don't think that I'll get that one done in time.

Wow guys... I think it goes without saying that some of these entries are the coolest we've seen around here!
:wink:

Not trying to be a stick in the mud, just thought it should be pointed out that Yakfinities submissions should be newly created customs made specifically for the contest (at least, that's what I've always understood).
I think it's great to post examples of existing work that fit the theme for inspiration , but I wanna be sure all the newer contributors know they should label old work as such.
Hope I'm not overstepping any boundaries here, certainly not trying to play mod or anything.
Lots of great figures being shown and I just wanna make sure everyone who submitted something new had a fair shot at winning.
I'm just crabby I've been stuck in a hotel for the past month or so with all my stuff in storage while my house is repaired from Hurricane Ike damage. I've had a lot of ideas and am really missing being able to contribute!

Hey, I'm pretty sure mine are labeled clearly enough; the rodian is old, the cyborg new. Thanks for the reminder!
Way to ruin the party Dan!!! :lol:
Just kidding, you're absolutely right - we should all should clearly note when a custom is older, and just for reference. There's nothing at all wrong with anyone posting old work for this, but it's not eligible for the prize... but that work will show up in the roundup report, as it's fun to have it all together for final reference material.
Kind of funny, about a year ago someone had entered an older custom, and told me it was new. I emailed that person about it, and showed them the thread at another forum where they had posted it months earlier, and just wanted clarification. Well, that person apparently was very offended by it and quit posting here at Yak... we certainly do NOT want anyone getting upset if their custom isn't eligible, so hopefully everyone understands that only *new* ones are included in the drawing for a prize.

Here's my entry for Black Sun:
This ain't no peaceful pachyderm...
Merrik Fosej is a weapons supplier/smuggler to the vast Black Sun criminal syndicate (among others). No weapon is unobtainable for him. Give him the specs of the weapon (and meet his asking price) and the merchandise will be promptly delivered. Fail to pay for his efforts and he may use the newly acquired merchandise on you.
Recipe:
Pretty much an entire Ketwol figure with some bits and pieces from cheap dollar store figures for his belts. His coat was modified also.

Just to clarify, mine is new. I've had the pieces sitting about four a couple of months but didn't have a head. I always had the the idea that the character would be a gangster of some sort. Anyway when this yakfinities started I thought that I should just get a head and put it together. Actually the reason that I joined the board now was to post it for this contest. The droids I just threw together in a night out of junk I had lying around.
Not that I'm feeling defensive or anything. :wink:

Not an entry, but topical... well sorta.
