Chalmun's Cantina: where everybody knows your name... an doesn't like you...

 

a few random background characters from the Mos Eisley Cantina:

Linn Car, Harc Seff , "spaceman" altered Bonda Baba and "unknown spacer"

 

Gunrunners - old ones

Prior to the newer multi articulated figures - these guys were made with the 90's 6 POA figures, boils and pop and some paint and I have a whole spaceport gang of gunrunners...

They call him flipper .... faster than lightning

...but not faster than a light saber.
Took an old POTF Ponda Baba and added a spare set of flippers from the 2014 vintage version...a semi-update/upgrade

Improvised Customizing

Back in 2003 I had gone through training at iO improv theater in Chicago. As part of the classes taken we would preform in a student show for eight weeks. Our team was called the "Killer Johnnies" (dont ask) and i created an action figure for our show poster

Ponda Baba legs, Nien Numb torso, Xyber Nine cape and a Thrawn head

Yerka Mig... who?

Yerka Mig, stricken with remorse after his home planet Ralltiir was brutally occupied by the Empire, retired and fled to the Outer Rim Territories , pursued by the Imperial Security Bureau. He was a patron in Chalmun's Cantina on Mos Eisley, and was hiding from Imperial agents inside when Obi-Wan Kenobi and Luke Skywalker sought passage to Alderaan there 

.... a.k.a. guy in the background !!!

The first version was a Ponda Baba with Bespin Han legs/hands , the hair from a Jack of Xyber 9 figure and the head of an Episode 1 Obi-Wan 

Years later I swapped out the large chest and awkward legs with the chest of a Dark Empire Luke and legs from a Desert Storm Han Solo  ... need to work on those eyes!

Ewoks...very dangerous...you go first

After the Teek figure came out- I was inspired to try to make some of the characters form the Ewok TV movies.

From the first film : Caravan of Courage is Mace Towani - a Jurassic Park 3 figure with Han Solo torso and Dagobah Luke legs.

and from the second film : Battle For Endor is Noa Briqualon - is made from a Ponda Baba legs and Sio Bibble, eyeglasses from Dr Jones Sr.
