Actually it’s a self portrait.
It’s James to a tee

James; nice brushwork! But I can't get over how far the WotC Yuzzem mini is removed from how I originally imagined them

Akula: Yuzzems are from one of the first Star Wars novels; Splinter of the Mind's Eye. It takes place somewhere between ANH and ESB and possibly was a screenplay originally.

It details the exploits of Luke and Leia (pre-revelation, so a bit awkward in some scenes ) on an Imperial planet where they get into trouble with Imperial forces whilst undercover. Leia ends up in prison, and befriends two Yuzzem in the same cell, who then help her and Luke find the Splinter  of the Mind's Eye (a Force enhancing crystal), while being chased by Darth Vader through the jungle.

Pretty cool book; I read it somewhere in the eighties and until Heir to the Empire, it was the only Extended Universe novel next to Han Solo at Star's End.

Thanks chaps 

The stamp on the original base was for 2005 but I remember Yuzzum coming from Endor and not looking like the figure (short bodies, long legs and a different face). There's one singing in the re-mastered version of RotJ as well 

Gotta love a messed up franchise 

There's also the Lando Adventures trilogy that was re-printed recently under the 'Legends' umbrella.

Shit, I had no idea there were two

There is a slight variant called the Bibbly-Yuzzem, but I here they are quite rare...or so Cap'n Blood tells me, anyway.

He's an old Wizards of the Coast plastic Star Wars miniature. Super troopers!

To bad he doesn't live over here... I'd like to introduce him to a couple rude neighbors! 

The paint job on the Yuzzem/Yuzzum is first rate. Love it!

What a Yuzzum! And some excellent stormtroopers, too. Lovely work!
