Wow, Aude. That is an unbelievable custom (and as a fan of FFG, I dig him even more!). Amazing work! Welcome to Yakfinities, as well. Is there any place to see more of your customs?

Anver Bryll Anver Bryll once proudly flew a starfighter for the Alliance defending the galaxy from tyranny and oppression. However, his views changed after the Battle of Endor. Very few know the reason why but he couldn't serve the New Republic. He became a mercenary selling his skills to various factions who are still pro Imperial. To make matters worse, he used his knowledge of Alliance bases and protocols, landed at a secret shipyard and stole a prototype starfighter. He is now wanted by New Republic Security Force.

Jor Bressin Jor Bressin once lived a quiet life helping his family on their farm. All was good until the Empire came to his planet. The Imperial forces were taking heavy casualties in his sector so the Moff started rounding up conscripts to replenish the ranks. At first, it wasn't that bad. He got to see new sights and travel among the stars. It wasn't until his training was complete that he saw the Empire cor what it really was. The minute he got the chance, he jumped ship. He is now on the run, wanted by the Empire

Head-Bespin Wing Guard (TLC)

Krokrer's Log entry 115

The Unknown Regions continue to amaze and delight the both of us. We have catalogued hundreds of new species of flora and fauna and even fungi. Reepta is in the lead for discovering truly unique species, but with her multiple degrees in exobiology, that stands to reason.

We’ve discovered a small planetoid with many lifeforms but nothing larger than a scurrier. Surprisingly, fish and avians seem to be the dominant life forms. There also isn’t anything growing larger than shrubs. Perhaps the surface will reveal why.

There also seems to be the remains of a settlement but it looks very old. We are both excited to see what secrets this place has to offer.

116
Landing seemed to disturb a nest of some rodent-like creatures that reminded me of Profogs, but without the armored shell and much smaller claws. They have six legs and are hairless. The vibrations of our landing drove them from their nests. They quickly scurried into shadows. I don’t think they like sunlight. We shall see tonight if they are nocturnal. We will take a quick look around before we set up camp.

117
Fiery plains of Ryloth! We weren’t gone more than five minutes and the creatures nearly destroyed our ship. They have extremely strong teeth that can chew through metal like flimsiplast. From under the shadow of our vessel, they chewed through the landing legs and bore several holes into our ship. I remotely electrified the exterior of the hull and that got rid of most of them. The rest I gassed as one nearly took my head off the moment I entered the ship. Reepta can study the remains after we set up the perimeter fence. They should keep them away from our ship while I patch it up. I think we should sleep inside tonight, that is if I can’t get the ship spaceworthy enough to get off this rock.

Food is now a problem as our stores have been decimated by the vermin. They even got into my secret stashes!
They must have an extremely good sense of smell because most of our specimens were also eaten. It is astonishing how quickly these creatures did so much damage in so little time.

No wonder life forms are scarce on this planetoid. I hope (and I hate to say this,) that we killed off most of them. If a dozen can do this much damage, imagine what hundreds could do.

118
We’ve been working non-stop to patch up the Drunken Mynok but there is still much to do. We’ve been working on the exterior and will finish everything else in orbit.

I’m glad we have an expensive radiating security fence without seams at the pylons as these creatures would eat whatever they could touch.

Our fence seems to be discouraging them but we can hear digging under them even though they were placed on solid rock! Reepta thinks they can sense vibrations so they will know where our defenses are weakest.

All the bodies we threw outside the fence are missing. They seem to eat anything they can find.

I’ve sent an SOS but have no hope that anything will hear us any time soon. I have given up on the exterior and am working on repairing the damage to the shields.

119
The shields seem to be holding but I don’t know for how long.

The creatures have burrowed under our perimeter fence in many places, and they are wily enough to avoid our lasers now that they know what they can do.

I’ve modified the SOS to warn people not to land. Should anyone come in time to help us, we will launch our escape pod and they can get us from the air.

120
We had to use the escape pod once the shields failed. They tore through the ship as if it was like one of the reed boats of home. We will stay in orbit as long as we can and then try to land somewhere else. I’m worried since one of the thrusters has gone off line. Stang! Several more systems have also just crashed and the lifeform scan is showing tha-








Reepta: X-Men Toad arms and legs, Fisher Price? Jungle woman body, custom head and accessories.
Krokrer : X-Men Toad body, Battle Droid backpack, custom head and accessories.
Rodent of unusual appetite. Pig with custom head and extra legs. (I may have to repaint the color so it looks less pig like.)
This was based on a D&D creature, the Osquip.
Perimeter Fence: Modified BAW parts repainted.
Drunken Mynock: Repainted to look like a rust bucket with random dish and gun added.

Currently hiding out in a watering hole in the Universe's hugest hive of scum and villainy, Tzvitt is waiting for his next big score.

“Lucky” Lothar was wanted in several systems for game poaching and selling creatures for illegal cage fights. If anyone wanted and exotic or endangered animal (or alien in some cases) for their fight pits, then Lucky was the man to contact.

Lucky lived this way for years, only caring about the credits. However, one time he had injured his prize so severely when capturing it that he took it to Miththreet, a nearby breeder and dealer of Exotic Pets for healing.
There, it turns out, his heart was captured instead.

Lucky was on the run and needed to lie low until the animal was healed enough to maximize his profit. He charmed Miththreet into letting him hide out with her under the guise of “watching over his cherished pet until it healed”. She was lonely and shy and was easily persuaded.

Lucky spent as much time with her as possible (so he could keep an eye on her and preventing her of a chance to turning him in).

At first, he didn’t care how much she loved the creatures in her care, or how her gentle ways calmed even the more aggressive beasts. Over time, he tried to mimic her ways so his job as a poacher would be easier.

One day, one of Lothar’s contacts brought in a Chiilak cub that wounded in a pit fight. The cub instinctively knew Lothar was a threat and tried to attack him. Miththreet jumped between them and calmed the creature down although she was injured in the process.

Nobody had ever risked their life for Lothar before. He was amazed, and when he saw the terrible gash on her arm and the tears in her beautiful eyes, he knew then that he could never hurt another creature again.

Now he spends his time helping Miththreet in her business, as well as rescuing animals used in cage or pit battles. He used his savings and any rewards he got by turning in all of his former contacts to create an Animal Sanctuary and Petting Zoo.

T’ was beauty that tamed the beast. A once callous, cruel poacher became someone so filled with love that he didn’t even feel anger when he learned that some creatures, like the Draagax he tried to pet, just need to be wild.

Lothar closed the “Petting Zoo” area in his sanctuary and people call him “Lefty” now.





Lefty is a MIB figure with a painted Starlord jacket. (His shirt is painted gold.). I made the mistake of using the wrong kind of marker to paint the snakeskin pattern so I think it will smudge off.)

Blue Meanie is an upside down modified Marvel Venom head on a tiger body.
The rest are repainted creatures.

Always the Bridesmaid and never the bride.



Shy and awkward, she never fit in wherever she was.
She imagined she would spend the rest of her life alone until one day, she found a stray Serpancat and nursed it to back to health. She found true happiness taking care of it, talking to it and making it part of her home. She then started taking in several more strays. They mated and she had litters of kittens. Soon she had too many to take care of so she sold a few of them. Customers were pleased by how docile and friendly they were. Soon she had a thriving business of breeding Serpancats and other exotic species. Hers were the best money could buy and were sought out by the elite of high society.
Some asked if she could train their other pets. She found to her surprise that she was very adept at it. Even the most stubborn or vicious creatures were calmed by her voice and touch. Her customers speculated if she was Force sensitive or just empathic.

She thought her life was complete, until a stranger entered her shop with a wounded Anoobas.
He was handsome and charming and she fell in love with him almost instantly. She had never trusted anyone as much before, which was strange since he was gruff and callous, even though he tried to hide that from her. She realized his gruff exterior hid his own shyness underneath.

He became more gentle and caring once he realized she saw past his rough facade.
Soon they were inseparable. He quit his job to spend more time with her.
When he confessed to the lies he had told, and of his criminal past, she instantly forgave him. He had become someone completely different simply by being with her.

He began his path to redemption and sought to right all the wrongs of his past.

Miththreet had taught Lothar to be honest and soon he will make an honest woman out of her.

Noura Thevenow is a member of the Mistryl Shadow Guard, an elite group of all-female Human mercenaries, sent from their home planet of Emberlene to earn money in support of the devastated communities of their world. Noura accepts whatever job comes along, as long as it's good for the cause. And sometimes, that puts her on the other side of the law.

Whenever I go out of town, I have a tendency to toss the Tales from the Mos Eisley Cantina into the luggage. It's one of my favorite, go-to SW books. And I love the short story that introduces the Mistryls.

The body is a Jyn Erso. The jacket is from Tobias Beckett, painted to look distressed. The head is from a Black Widow, dry-brushed hot pink.

Gret Pwall was an Ithorian gangster. When he became wanted by the Empire, he faked his death and started a new life in the Outer Rim as a story teller.

The torso is from the ROTS Mon Cal senator, and the head and arms are from the Hammerhead figure. His cloak is from light-brown felt, and the Billy Goat Gruff beard is made from craft fur.

I couldn't upload them either...And that has led me to a 45 minute struggle to even get my laptop to turn on, and now Imgur has changed and I can't get it to work the way it use to....Anyway I love the entries so far this round! Here are two that I made.

The first one will eventually make a cameo as background character in Era of Darkness. Several of the figures that I've made for background fodder also use Clone armor, outside of Able Squad. I kind of figured it would be in excess following the closure of the Clone Wars and rise of the Empire. I would imagine this guy is a wanted individual who is trying to make his name anywhere he can. In this case, in Jabba the Hutt's employment.

The other figure I made recently pairs with my selfie custom. It's Harlow the Wookiee, based on Harlow the Dog. I plan to make her part of my "outlaw selfie" crew.

Edit - F it. I can't get Imgur to even give me the links/codes, and these url's don't work for the img codes on the forum. I'm so frustrated with this photo image hosting bull crap.

Edit 2 - I had to get out of Imgur's Beta to even access the links. How the Hell do these websites expect anyone to stay with them when they jack people around like this. I left Photobucket because it became terrible after being great for years, now Imgur sucks. Any other alternatives?

Happy New Year everyone,
I'm cool if this custom doesn't get included in the round-up. It was finished last night, but I didn't have a chance to post until this evening. Either way, wanted to share anyhow.

Wow, so much wonderful stuff! Haven't been around here for a couple of months and missed at least two Yakfinities! I can't even start to comment individually, there's so much going on in the thread, but the theme is great and allows for a lot of interesting takes.
If I have to point one custom, it would be Aude's Rodian vigilante! It's everything I love in a figure - expertly sculpted parts, great combination of fodder, use of soft goods and leather!
When is this contest ending, I couldn't find information?
