Here's my entry into this Yakfinities. This is a custom KUBAZ BOUNTY HUNTER named Azadag. Born on Takodona, this Kubaz was known to frequent Maz Kanata's castle looking for anyone or anything with a bounty on them. This custom figure features an all new custom resin cast head, soft goods cape, and is custom painted.
Wow - I-am-Boba-Fett - that is easily one of your coolest customs I've seen from you. I love what you did with the head. Damn.
:wink:
:wink:
Wow, more really excellent customs!
IABF - Amazing headsculpt! What a great figure. He fits right into the 'verse. Excellent paint applications as well.
MCScoobyT - Great job on Aphra - really good re-purposing of a Leia figure. You did an awesome job sculpting the Rathar! It looks really good; your patience shows.
JawaKing - Great Annoo-Dat! Your use of the Xizor head is really, really clever.
Cantinascum - nice Bothan. I would love to have had at least one more head sculpt of these (maybe we'll see one from the new Rogue One movie? Here's hoping). His parts all work together well.
Utinniii - nice job sculpting Gwellis and Izby. They look great.

@jawaking @yak_chewie @darth_sidious @darthapathy @droidzone2 @starchaser thanks for the complements on my previous posts! The Bothan was made from Bon Vimdin sanded down, Mandalore soft goods dyed black, Embo shoulder armor and misc fodder. My Neimoidian pirate gang is so much of everything haha. Here is my third post, Chiss smuggler/scoundrel Tuss Fonga

Our heros were given a map, but to the wrong lair. Antidote in hand, but now they must pay for their trespass.
The Rambutan Team is one of the many Gangs in this sector. They were recently defeated by the Guavian Death Gang, which stole their colors and destroyed their symbol. The losers are forbidden to wear red again until they regain their totem.
The white color is from the sketch of a Guavian Death Gang member.
Recipe: G.I. Joes with Sculpy-cast add ons.
NEXT TIME: Fuzzball as bait? The plan all hinges on Bee Bee Ate!

These 5 are new. The red hooded can be seen as Finn exits and in the back outside.
Here is a group shot of the "official characters".
They are standing under the steps under the statue of "La Maz", given to her by her appreciative students for her classes.
Wow, Utinniii, you have some interesting and colorful things going on there. Very creative & imaginative! There are a huge amount of great contributions this Yakfinities again! Great job everybody. I've been really enjoying the this and the last theme also.
heres my custom figure for this yakfinities:
Gotal space guy. dont have a back story or name for him yet. hope you like it.
it was made with a body of a corps figure, the head was all carved and shaved down and sculped on with epoxi. didnt made any special thing on the body, just some painting with Apple barrel acrylics. Ill look for some others accesories, he has some kind of mechanic or navigator style, I enjoyed so much sculpting this figure. once again another great yakfinities. thank you all guys and sorry for the gigantic pictures.

Welcome TOYDROID66! Your customs are excellent! Very creative designs and use of parts. Your paint and wash looks great. Thanks for sharing!
Hey Thanks a lot! I love this hobby and the massive community! I appreciate the kind words. I feel like my paint work needs tightened up, but we all have things we want to be better at! so it goes. Thanks again @JawaKing love your alien playboy submission BTW great narrative for him!
So many great entries and new faces around here as well. Great to see!
The roundup report in a couple weeks is going to be awesome!

Coming in at the last minute here a little disappointed with what I accomplished versus what I had hoped to but I hope everyone likes what I accomplished for this Yakfinites.
So, the story that I hoped to do for this Yakfinities was as follows... A young daughter of an inner rim aristocratic family disappeared one day. Her story would have taken place over the space of a few months with hints of the tale coming from various visits to Maz's castle (by herself and those sent to find her...) Unfortunately, I only finished a few of the characters and wasn't able to follow my plan.
First up, the young woman herself. She is made of a padme head, boussh legs and the upper body of Bastila Shan.
Secondly, the Wookiee that she hired on at Maz's to be her personal bodyguard... He's a repainted Chewie with the armor up armor. My plan was to try and make the armor look like polished wood but I'm not sure how successful I was. Seen here as part of a group shot...
Third up, the Utai that she hired as a co-pilot. A Disney Utai with Mega-Bloks accessories. A pretty simple custom, but I like how he came out.
Lastly, the droid assistant to the detective sent to find her. He is simply BAD parts repainted. His eyes need a little touch-up, but otherwise I think he is finished.
And one last group shot:

Those are all great submissions! Walbog is my favourite. He is very creative and I like the use of parts.
Ithid is also really cool and actually looks like one of the patrons at Maz. Was that intentional? I want to make him as well.
You picked some excellent submissions for your first post. We look forward to seeing many more!

MKOS, it was well worth the wait to see your figures. I also like the story aspect.
I like the alien with the black bits. The base alien looks kinda silly but you made him look bad***! The droid looks pretty neat too. I missed out on the BAD so I don't know how original your droid is but I like it. Interesting colour scheme too!
The wookie armour looks like wood to me. If there was some way to show grain, it wood be even more convincing (but I'm stumped as to how you could. Leaf a message if you think of a way... Yeah, I'm a sap.)
Your lady looks like she would fit right in.

I just started another job so I don't know if I can finish my remaining figures. Hopefully I can finish a couple more.
Some great customs folks!
lugo-great job with the Gotal, I really like how you re-sculpted the head.
Cantinascum - nice job with Turin, the paint apps are great. I think your Chiss turned out well also.
Utinniii - nice job on a lot of figures, but I particularly like Nip and Tuck
Toydroid66 - Welcome! What a great start. Excellent figures all around, it even took me a bit to place the Skovox Blitzer head. I particularly like the parts combination on "Walbog."
IABF - Great figures! The Atlas trooper bits on the Utai are inspired! They look great. The Wookiee is great too (I love Wookiees). The armor looks good, but as Utinniii said, finding some way to simulate grain would be great )but perhaps not worth the effort). Wonderful parts combinations on the other two.
