Yakfinities #69 - CRIMINALS

[darthapathy]

Jaret Rylsyn Jaret is a member of the Dirty Mynocks. He is responsible for the maintenance and upkeep of the gang's swoops. He got this job out of sheer luck. He is a sixth generation mechanic and was enrolled in the prestigious Galactic Institute of Technology. While traveling on vacation, the cruise ship had to make an emergency landing on Stessa III. While wandering about the spaceport, he had a run in with the Dirty Mynocks. While he was almost beat up by the gang, he noticed that Valdo Kurr's bike was running a bit choppy. He said he could not only fix it but make it better if they would let him live. From that day on, he's been a Mynock

You guys are killing it!

Kirven is a second-rate slicer who's been able to eek out a living in the depths of Coruscant's underworld.

The body is a Han Solo, the arms are from a Bespin Solo. The jacket is from TLJ hermit Luke (love that coat). The head is from the Bala Tik figure, and the satchel from my goody bin.

 

[OC47151]

Renko is a petty criminal who roams Tatooine's wasteland, doing whatever it takes to survive...including killing.

The body is a moisture vaporator Luke. The robotic arm is from a CW Anakin. The head is from a Marvel figure; sorry, don't remember which one. The robe is from one of the Prince of Persia figures.

 

[OC47151]

Final figure is a 'what if' figure. What if Ben Solo went into the family business of smuggling and didn't follow Uncle Luke and the Jedi path? Here's my interpretation of it.

The body is Cassian Andor with a random alien gun belt added in. The lightsaber, fortunately, had a small ring on the end, and I used a paperclip to attach it to the gun belt.

Thanks for the kind words Utinniii, darth_sidious, and darthapathy. My 4 year old (Maddie) was especially thrilled to see her action figure mentioned by name. I've been debating joining the forums for a while. Glad I did. I may try to put up a new thread with some of my other stuff if I get the time.

@darthapathy: I like Kenneck's Crime Crew. I like the guy in the repurposes Stormtrooper armor. Is the helmet removable?

@OC47151 Cool stuff. I especially like the Ben Solo. I've been trying to find uses for the 6+ TBS Cassian Andors outside of just head-swap rebel soldiers. This gave me some new ideas. Thanks.

Man, this is an absolutely spectacular turnout! I wish I had time to make some entries.

What I absolutely love are the entries with two, three, four and even five characters as part of a "crew."

LOVE THAT. I want to see photonovels with all of these amazing groups! Get on that, folks, all of these amazing characters deserve to have their stories told!!! Seeing all these rag-tag teams absolutely fires the imagination. Awesome, awesome stuff!

Ralph McQuarrie concept art for the character who eventually became known as the criminal Greedo featured a longer almost bird-like snout, drooping ears and more hair than what would appear on screen in A New Hope. If coupled with a jumpsuit in the style of the vintage Kenner figure of the character, Greedo could have turned out very differently.

Reference, recipe and turnaround animation can be found in my customs thread.

Moloch VS the Puffer Pigs





Moloch is a simple repaint but when you campare it to the original figure you can see how good the sculpt really was.

The Puffer Pigs are 3 brothers that enjoyed fighting each other so much they became "Enforcers" after winning a brawl with the (Extremely) Drunken Wookie that first called them Puffer Pigs. They are not often taken seriously because of their size, but they are pretty formidable.
Wook is the Oldest and claims credit for taking down the Wookie. His handsome mug has forever been altered by the fight but he is proud of it.
Spanner's good looks have also been altered when a Trandoshan caved his skull in with a Hydrospanner. He isn't as smart as he used to be but can still put up a good fight, especially since he doesn't register pain anymore.
Runt, is the smallest of the litter, but is more cunning than the others. It was his brainchild to become enforcers in the first place.
Puffer Pigs are Wrestler bodies with custom "deformed" casts.
I may give them tattoos later when I can think of good Puffer Pig designs.

Hello everyone, SpaceLizard1980 here. I have some posts already in my own thread but this is my first entry into the highly regarded Yakfinities! Some wonderful posts and entries into this contest already, figured I’d get one in before the deadline.

My entry: The Tonnika Sisters

These criminal ladies can be found lurking around Chalmun’s Cantina in A New Hope. Brea and Senni Tonnika are known con artists throughout the galaxy. I will post a parts list and more of my newest customs in the SpaceLizard1980 thread.

@OC47151 Cool stuff. I especially like the Ben Solo. I've been trying to find uses for the 6+ TBS Cassian Andors outside of just head-swap rebel soldiers. This gave me some new ideas. Thanks.

You're welcome. I love the Andor body. Very versatile. One of my favorites.

Hey All,

This is my first time posting, so apologies if I transgress some unspoken rules.

I really had an amazing pool of some of the greatest criminals in the galaxy lined up to photograph and enter into the challenge here at Yakface, but every single one of them suddenly cancelled on me for the photoshoot. Something about attending a Senate hearing, blah blah blah.

I was determined not to give up, however, and I managed to book a few people at the last minute. Now granted, these are not the most dangerous, or even successful, criminals the galaxy has to offer. I concede that. But I think you’ll agree that you wouldn’t want to cross paths with them in a dank cantina in the bowels of the outpost on Kafrene.


This is Gary, a native of Dantooine. Gary was actually a well-respected member of the Rebels some years before the Battle of Scarif. He even dated Mon Mothma for a couple of years, until he created a dutch oven while in bed with Mothma so offensive, she immediately dumped him. Two short weeks later, she packed up and moved the entire Rebel Alliance to Yavin IV. True story.


This is Chuck, originally from Sullust. Chuck likes to corner his friends and talk incessantly about how the _Hellraiser_ series of films is one of the most misunderstood franchises of the entire horror genre. He’ll bring the topic up in conversations that have nothing remotely to do with films or entertainment.



This is Bubba the Great, origin unknown. Bubba likes to flip off children at the grocery store, and then play dumb with their mothers after the brats inevitably rat them out.



This is K.L., originally from Malastar. After a successful career of pumping out mediocre hits for movie soundtracks, K.L. finds work where he can.



This is John Sanders and his son, “Upgrade”. “Upgrade” is a DJ and EDM enthusiast. Just last week, Sanders took his son to the local retail chain and bought the latest action figure 6-pack release. He took advantage of a nice, helpful clerk who retrieved the items from the back, knowing full well that they were not to be put on shelves until after a 20% off sale was over. He then took advantage of another naïve check-out clerk, and when the items ringed up at full retail, feigned surprise and pulled out his weekly flier with the 20% off ad inside. Once the clerk manually entered in the discount, he shot a knowing smile and a wink at the security camera monitoring his every move.



This is Terry, hailing from Corellia. After reaching 200 lb. in his forties, he gave himself two exemptions and claimed himself as a dependent on his Imperial taxes that year.



This is Bartholomew Von Tischendorf, from Coruscant. Bart likes to passively-aggressively turn on his windshield wipers when punks tail gate him.



This is Chaz, from somewhere in the Anoat System. Chaz steals Amanda’s Diet Cokes out of the break room refrigerator at work.



This is Pat R., originally from Kansas. While Pat may work hard in the Tibanna gas refineries of Bespin, he never remembers he & his wife’s anniversary.

I've been making custom Star Wars figures for the past four years and only recently dabbled into the 3.75inch scale. I love the customizing community and the enjoyment I get out of each project I tackle. This and the more recent films has helped in reigniting my passion for Star Wars.
Here is my first post on the forums. You can find more of my creations on FB pages: Star Wars Customs and IC Star Wars Customs. Enjoy!

More really fun stuff folks! Excellent work so far.
I've got another entry for the criminal underworld, Madame Hunari:

Madame Hunari plies her trade as a psychic in the upper levels of the Uscru District of Galactic City, Coruscant. Many wealthy and powerful beings come to her small shop seeking guidance and comfort. What most don't know is that Hunari is really the head of a small but well-placed network of infochants - using their trade to gather the secrets of the rich, famous and influential. One of her most effective tools is to offer her "readings" to the servants of her clients in exchange for information, rather than credits. Hunari is well-known and has been connecting people with the spiritual world for longer than anyone can remember - which only adds to her reputation as a psychic. In truth, this Hunari is the fifth to don the mantle, as instead of retiring, the first "Hunari" created a costume for her daughter to continue in the role, creating the illusion of a single very, very old Gotal.

Recipe: Head - Trevagg Feltipern (repainted)
Body - Maz Kanata
Stole - Fur lining from a 5POA RangeTrooper
Plus part of a cheap bracelet for the horn jewelry

 

[UKHistory]

attached is a member of the Rebel Alliance's Procurement Division. Loyal to soldiers of the cause of bringing freedom to the galaxy by defeating the Empire are experts in combat but also acquiring rare war material. This member of the Procurement Division is made from a super articulated prune fact head and torso with the legs from a Han Solo. The outer white coat and arms are from a Captain America in winter gear.

Of special note is that the way the hood of the coat is sculpted its fits the peanut shaped head of the prune face perfectly. More to come.

Here is a custom criminal from Solo named Susaut Volupicite. The head is from an Angel Forge/Slayer Design/Good to Go Customs head. I slightly modified the nose of the head and painted the tip of the nose black. Not a 100% match from the movie. But good.

The body is a GI Joe fighter pilot (Ace I believe). I painted the arms a little yellow. But I opted to again not make a perfect match. Just a close comparison. The resistance fighter pilot pistol is an exact match.

I loved Solo. Not perfect and I quibble a little with it. But the most pure fun I have had at the movies since 1983.

 

[UKHistory]

Not all criminals are dashing Corellian pirates or loathsome Hutt gangsters. Some are rather petty thieves who are clawing, sniffing, and conniving their way to eek out an existence until the big score comes along.

Such is the life of one Waddy Peytona. An unassuming being whose crafty mind is aided by his inconspicuous appearance that allows him to blend into any number of interspecies settings in the galaxy.

Waddy as pictured has joined a maintenance crew at a busy space port in the Corporate Sector. In this capacity he has access to cargo and passenger manifests to inform of him where a big score might be found.

Today, however, Waddy's luck has run out at least temporarily as a private star yacht's Mandalorian security chief has caught Waddy after switching out a valuable suitcase with concealed glitter stim for a mundance assortment of rodian weaved sweater vests.

Waddy is made from the body of a Star Tours officer (I love these. Boxed up I have a few other head switches using Star Wars, Chap mei construction workers, and a Harry Potter miniwerewolf). Waddy's head is carved from a Grinch action figure. I initially was going to use him as Mosep. But a figure head came along. It does show my effort in carving and sculpting. The arms are from a chap mei oranger diver.

Also, Waddy's name might be familiar to you if you have ever driven east on I64 from Louisville to Lexington.

Iyauta, the female mandolorian working for a Spice smuggling Invisible Market Corporation is made from a Star Wars Geek custom mando helmet and a lanard female figure body. Her weapon is a gi joe gun.

Next up is an Amphib who is strictly an enforcer and debt collector Ploovo Two For One--a small time gangster in the Corporate Sector.

The Amphib is Green Lantern movie figure named green man appropriately enough. I love the Green Lantern Corps figures. While limited in articulation, with a proper paint job, these figures are excellent alien background characters. They fill out a scene, have sturdy parts allowing them to stand and are just fun.

This figure's upper torso was painted a mix of testors light ghost grey and purple giving the appearance of a sleevless shirt on a "no neck" creature. I painted the face from a Tamiya yellow green color that I also used on the inside of the arms. A bright green Tamiya paint (park green?) on the mid torso.

I made a skirt using the faux leather fringe of a purse or key chain tassel . I have three total such Amphib enforcers in colors of matching shirt and skirt: flat black and a rich burnt sienna and the grey purple mix I have shared with you. This figure's weapon is a chap mei blaster.
