Yakfinities # 45 - IMPERIAL TROOPERS

[ScorpioAttack]

Cool, I like this guy! I love seeing Vintage figures used to make customs.
And best of all, when he passes sentence, he executes you with a BLUE KENNER BLASTER!

Ha ha! Well it was the closest weapon I had to a Lawgiver!

These guys were made from a mishmash of Joe parts and SW bits. I REALLY wanted imperial logo decals to make arm patches, but for some reason, nobody on the entire internet sells imperial logo waterslide decals for 1:18 scale action figures!! Enjoy, and check out my blog at http://www.korribancustoms.com/

Those are great - nice mashup of parts from the Joe line, with Star Wars... the troopers kind of remind me of Cobra Troopers, which is cool... but I really dig the chick! Outstanding design and execution!

:wink:

Thanks so much! Yeah, the troopers do totally smack of Cobra, but my intention was to create a re-imagining of what the empire might have deployed across the vast galaxy as far as special ops are concerned. In an attempt to "star wars" up the sniper crew, each of the boys sports an at-at commander helmet and goggles set, and I was really hoping for some imperial logo decals for the arms to seal the deal. Aside from that, the real star of the show anyways is the female commander (the males are really just scenery fodder for her). Gotta love a fiery redhead with a low cut neckline!
P.S. I have two TVC at-at commanders running around helmetless thanks to these guys, so if anyone out there has an extra set of helmet and goggles for that particular figure, I'd love to purchase or trade!

great looking entries.. I need to get going and finish up my last two entires.. :wink:

 

[JediMerc]

Here is an IMPERIAL GRENADIER TROOPER I made. They carry grenade launcher rifles Into combat.

I'm really liking this guy; great parts selections. The bits and pieces really go well together and create a trooper "similar but different" (in Lucas-speak) to the traditional stormie. Very nice!

That's exactly what I was thinking when I read that post! Erik doesn't get the recognition he once did because he doesn't really update his site much; but at one time Erik's site was THE site for decals and background images.
