The Escape Artist

Gunslinger Paige Tico has more than a few tricks up her sleeves, and once the criminal gang she fooled into taking her hostage makes landfall on Takodana, she aims to collect the very artifact they seek for herself. Once she sells it on the black market she’ll have enough to pay off her sister’s debt to her crew, and the two of them can make their own way together again.

Little does she know, her old friend Poe has gotten himself a bit… tangled up in the relic’s unnatural powers, and now there are more than few surprises awaiting them both on Takodana.

The fifth and final profile in a series of characters for an alternate universe of the sequel trilogy

The mix and match series was started just by swapping out clothes, faces, and accessories of different characters to see what new characters could be created or improved upon. There’s not always an intended story behind the choices— More often than not I just want to see what fit and looked cool.

The Wandering Sage

Poe Dameron has been haunted by unsettling experiences and abilities his entire life and now lives as a nomad, searching archives and locations across multiple planets for answers. His investigations bring him to a nexus of the Force, and the catacombs beneath it reveal more than anticipated.

After touching a strange artifact, Poe receives a vision that reveals not only is his old friend Paige Tico in danger, but that those holding her hostage are after the same artifact that has bound itself to him.

Poe’s head worked on very few other figures, and because Han’s outfit is so identifiable the challenge was to find a different silhouette and accessories to reasonably portray a new type of character for him. I wanted something that gave a different feeling than of just another roguish, hotshot pilot.

The Unwitting Mechanic

Rey, a disabled mechanic working in a chop shop, is given the wrong package she in turn sends to Takodana at the behest of a friend. When it turns out the identical package she received was actually intended for an underworld gangster, she is inadvertently drawn into a gang war between rival syndicates. Knowing the magistrate and town she sent the package to are in grave danger, she stows away on a bounty hunter’s ship headed for Takodana, hoping she arrives in time to avert disaster.

There’s not always an intended story behind the choices— More often than not I just want to see what looks like it fits and looks cool. This was the first figure I swapped out the face for, to see if Cassian’s face would make a reasonable stand-in for Mando’s

The Jaded & the Devout

When the Mandalorian Chirrut Îmwe discovers a powerful Force-sensitive child hunted by Imperials, he takes the child as his ward and sets out to find the boy a connection to his past and his people. He arrives back on his own ravaged homeworld of Jedha— a nexus of the Force and home to the destroyed kyber temple— in search of answers.

Having tracked down the Mandalorian in possession of his scavenged cuirass to a familiar world, legendary mercenary Baze Malbus reclaims his armor just before a firefight outside the temple forces himself and Îmwe to team up to protect the child. Despite their efforts the child is taken, and to repay the Mandalorian, Malbus journeys with him to Morak where they hope to find more clues.

There’s not always an intended story behind the choices— More often than not I just want to see what looks like it fits and looks cool. Here I thought there were some fun parallels between both sets of characters and wanted to highlight their similarities.
