Yakfinities #88 - Henchmen - WINNER ANNOUNCED

[EndUser77]

This poor, unknown shmuck is Speed Quickly. He spent his youth dreaming of becoming a galactic-class swoop jockey, saving every credit for years until he could finally afford his own swoop. He was all set to sign on with Jabba the Hutt as his personal racer until one of Jabba's denizens betrayed him, destroyed his swoop, and convinced Jabba not to let him race. Broken-hearted and destitute, Speed Quickly took the only job he could find as a henchman for Jabba's lesser-known cousin, Bingo the Hutt. He still hopes to race again someday.

Here's my total last-minute submission!
I'm gonna call this guy Jerb Brynloo. He's Ront Brynloo's cousin. But this whole time I've just been referring to him as the Mos Eisley Pilot.
I based him off of one of the NPCs in the Cantina in LEGO Star Wars: The Complete Saga. I made him (and a few others I'll probably post at some point) to mill outside my Haslab. He probably works for Jabba, all these henchman types in Mos Eisley seem to. I'll declare that he's an off-duty part-time pilot for the Sail Barge. Now he goes with two Haslabs. Yay!

 

[Starchaser]

Hey - Nice job everyone! I wish I'd had more time for building figures this round, but there were excellent customs in this category. Kudos!

 

[darth_sidious]

A good round of diverse figures, probably all of which Hasbro will never produce, which makes me enjoy seeing these unique creations even more!

I never got around to finishing my guy:

What else were you thinking of adding. I think he looks phenomenal as is.

Hello Collectors,
no Henchman entry. But if your X-Wing has a problem or you have to change from Winter to Summer wings.. call Jek! He's my favourite mechanic at the moment.

And cool ideas and new custom characters from you in this thread and round.
Happy Easter to you all!

Ok... time for the Roundup Report!

Participation was down a bit this round, but hopefully we see things back up for the next round! Though, I guess 56 custom submissions is still not too shabby!

Here's the roundup... lots of really fun customs, great creativity and fun variety. We also have a great Grand Prize sponsor courtesy of Sci Fi Diorama Guy, the usual TVC giveways, and even a special, very cool custom figure giveaway by Utah Don!

Wow!! I can't believe it. That is awesome. Thanks sci-fi diorama guy.
This was a great round with a lot of great entries. Congratulations to the other winners. Thanks to Utah Don for providing a custom figure.

 

[The original OC47150]

I will take the Imp!

Thank you! Great job everyone. Love this contest! The participants push me to be more creative with each new contest.

 

[darth_sidious]

Woah, are you kidding me? I'm actually shocked that I won the custom figure by Utah Don - when I saw his poster of customs, I was genuinely mesmerized. Owning a custom figure (work of art), is a rare gift to bestow, so I will cherish it. Not to mention, it's also an awesomely crafted character! Thanks to Don for suggesting this as a prize and providing it - very generous of you.

Winning a random figure as well is crazy luck - I'll have to play the lottery next, lol. I'd like the Baylan figure - I have an idea for a custom already brewing! Thanks to Chewie for another great roundup, and for not only providing prizes, but for keeping the customizing community strong here.

Congrats to those that won, and most importantly - everyone that participated. I love seeing the work you post, and it makes each Yakfinities a fun and creative experience.

 

[Jodo]

One heck of a prize selection for this one! Congratulations everyone!!!

 

[Don]

This was a fun one to watch! I love henchmen weirdos and cantina day drinkers. Thanks for all the rad inspiration and congratulations to the winners!

[darthapathy]

Came home from work this afternoon to an awesome surprise. My Advantage Diorama set was waiting for me on the porch. I can't wait to open it up and put it together. I'm trying to decide if I want an actual diorama like "Bespin" (sky) or "Hoth" (snow) or use it as a backdrop for customs. Currently, I'm using a couple pieces of foamcore glued together and it's a bit janky.
Thanks again @YAK_Chewie for the prize

 

[darthapathy]

UPDATE: I received the Black set which is called Space Station Tower. I'll use this side for Imperial/Death Star display

 

[darthapathy]

I'll use this side as a backdrop for random "space" customs and/or a Rebel display

 

[YAK_Chewie]

I will get the remaining TVC winner prizes sent shortly - sorry for sucking on this.
