I started with the Wiz Kid Star Wars figure of a Yuzzem, bear like race and a pretty cool figure as is.
I did the first one  without any additions  to see how it would paint up (being the plastic bendy stuff they make them out of) I had repainted  one clix figure before(see my kid zombie hunters) and I like how it turned out so I thought I would try again.  He turned out ok if I don’t say so myself so I bought some more to do a Crew (well I bought like 20 of them) and at less than a dollar a piece how can you go wrong.   Now for the crew I did not want all the same look so I reworked the first set of them cutting off arms and repositioning them added new weapons, scars closing the mouths just to add some variations.  The Clixy figures are pretty soft and cut easily so that was not a problem.  I then filled in some gaps with putty re-sculpted some fur and there you have it 5 different (well different enough) figures.  On the next set I will try the reposition a few heads and leg, we will see how that turns out.

Engineer/medic/ maybe a very heavy weapons trooper/ one carrying something? Who knows?  Any suggestion would be appreciated
Thanks and I hope you like them. more at my blog.

That's one of my favorite Star Wars minis.  It's the one I was looking at to start my AE-Bounty crew.  I'm going for more of a mash up of different alien races. Look forward to the mods.

I've got this on my want list as well, for a plethora of purposes. Mainly as a physically mutated animal in a gamma world inspired game.

A few more WIP for my crew. Including a Heavy weapon/mechanic/hero and others troopers. I am hoping to finish this group this week.
Any suggestion on what else should be included.

Power Loader: I made this from various parts in my bit box (waste not want not). I bit more work on sanding down some parts and then onto the painting.
The Heavy Weapon Gunner: was made from a old Disney toy laser cannon of which I used other parts for other projects and had a few of these left over, putty and bits from my bit box.
The crew is coming together…watch out.

Well I officially hate yellow paint, but I finished my Power loader for my Yuzzem crew.  The two shots show it with the protective front piece and with out
 As I said earlier the Power loader was made from bits from my bit box, plastic tubes some old toy parts and a converted Starwars toy Yuzzem figure

I like those figures. I will have to look for some when I order some more of the Klattoonan hunters I plan to use for Martian askaries.
