Yakfinities #88 - Henchmen - WINNER ANNOUNCED

[Don]

I had previously used this jacket on a custom I never loved. This is a complete rebuild (a custom of a custom?) and turned out much better.

Nice! What is the jacket from originally? And the breastplate on your other figure?

The jacket is from a Dime Novel Legends figure. The armor is from some old man Jedi from a video game who's name I'm sure I never knew.

It's from Rahm Kota 😃

I find it satisfying to revisit and remake customs as well - until you achieve the look that you envisioned. The next upgrade could be slicing off that soviet star and turning it into the symbol for the Hutt clan, which would be a cool in-universe addition.

Hello Collectors, hope you all are doing well.

My first custom figure of 2026. A Wookie trader and henchman.

I used a Chewbacca head from the Legacy Comic 2-pack. The figure isn't very popular, and I thought it was time to upgrade the head for a custom figure.
The head-to-body interface isn't the best, but I think it's sufficient.
The body used is probably the Saga Legends 2010 Chewbacca figure. The staff is from a Kessel Guard.

The Wookie got an overall painting except his lips/fingers/toes; I cut off Chewie's shoulder bag and his belt got a black wash. The backpack is originally a green drink lid. I drilled two holes in it and attached a thin black strap.
The character owns a decommissioned BB-9E droid unit and can calcute old 1st order monitored trade hyperspace routes.

Have a nice weekend!

Caelli-Merced Syndicate-Located on the planet Soccoro in the Outer Rim, is the Caelli-Merced Syndicate. Their legitimate cover is the Caelli-Merced Corporation, manufacturer of munitions and vehicles. The Syndicate deals mostly in gun running but also dabbles in the spice trade

@darthapathy Greedo's head works well on the smaller Nien Nunb body. Like this one!

Thanks. The neck peg on that Greedo is one of the larger ones, so the head usually doesn't work on smaller neck pegs. The Nien Nunb neck peg is larger than some. It wasn't a perfect fit but really close. I just used a tiny bit of sticky tack to keep if from wobbling

Mercenaries of many species are willing participants in the lawless Outer Rim.

My entry is a fanfic design for Sise Fromm, lead henchman of the Fromm Gang, from the old Droids cartoon. I made the cloak out of felt, and tried to give it an over-the-top retro appearance, combining some Black Sun and Vulcan design elements (lul). The regular purple cloak that Kenner did was a bit too lackluster and frumpy, so I went with spikey shoulders for a more aggressive appearance. I also incorporated the animated color palette.
