DJ Mauls Ultimate Star Wars Toy Room Tour, Part 9


Funny, when I started this virtual tour, I figured it would take three, maybe four blogs. Here I am at part NINE and I'm still not really even close to being done yet!

This installment will move down from the Clone Army shelf to the next shelf below.

As you can see it's still more action figures. This shelf consists mainly of Star Wars alien species. On the advice of Bravo 225 I decided to TRY and be a bit more creative in the poses of my figures, which means I had to go back and re-shoot this entire shelf...gee, thanks a LOT, Bravo...

Anyway, whether I succeeded or not is up to you I suppose.Ok, Let's get to it.

The figures here are a hodge podge of assorted aliens and humanoids, from all across the galaxy. The setting is a party that could be in either The Cantina, Jabba's Palace, or somewhere totally different, you decide.

Let's check out The Band first, featuring vocalists Joh Yowza and Sy Snootles up front, and Droopy McCool & two Bith band members.

One of these Bith figs was the one that came with Droopy; the other was the Fan Club Mail Away Exclusive.

As a special treat, Yak Face has joined in the band, or maybe he's just using that battle staff as an air guitar!

In the back, entertaining the lads, are Jabba's Palace Dancers. This is one of the several "Cinema Scenes" packs. But wait! What's THIS? Seems Aunt Beru has suddenly jumped up on stage and started dancing with the girls!!! Looks like someone must have spiked her blue milk...!

Apparently Beru's sweet moves have over excited this Ketwol alien who is so drunk he seems to have lost his PANTS.

Seems there's a bit of a disturbance over on the left side of the "room." (The three aliens against the wall on the stand is another Cinema Scene three pack.)Lot's of weapons drawn; looks like Bossk is reminding Lak Sivrak to pay his bar tab...Garindan the Long Snoot is sticking his nose in as usual, while Nien Nunb seems to be minding his own business, staying in the background behind Ponda Baba.

Meanwhile Fode & Beed, are calling the fight like the true announcers they are.

Apparently after The Clone Wars ended Dexter Jettster found himself unemployed after The Emperor had all alien life forms removed from the food service industry, but his talents were NOT unknown and Jabba immediately hired him to be his head chef.Behind Dex staggers a drunken Tarfful, who also found himself in dire straights after the Clone Wars, barely avoiding being dragged into slavery, he too wound up working with a smuggler and spending a lot of time in Cantinas...go figure...

With all the turmoil in the galaxy, it's nice to see that two different species can indeed get along, like these Ugnaughts & Jawas here who seem to be having fun just dancing the night away.

Conversation picks up as two galaxy famous Pod Racers, Gasgano & Ody Mandrell enter the party...rumor has it Gasgano lost an arm in his last Podrace and has been trying his best to conceal it because he still needs to race to pay off his gambling debts to Jabba The Hutt, who, as usual, is presiding over the entire party.

Oola is dancing up a storm for Jabba's pleasure, as Salacious Crumb looks on and laughs his usual annoying laugh. (Oola & Salacious were an exclusive Star Wars Insider offer set.)Lando is also there, dressed as the Skiff Guard again, because he thinks the military look will help him with the women...poor deluded man.

And always at Jabba's side is Bib Fortuna, who's whispering something about some guy who's outside, trying to get in, say's he's a Jedi...?Recovering from the death of his beloved Rancor, MalaKili can be seen twisting the night away back near Jabba's tail.

Finally, lurking in the far corner is Jabba's Gamorrean Guard for the evening, who is anti social as usual and prefers the corner of the room where he can keep an eye on every one. Somehow the poor simple creature still thinks it's a GOOD bodyguard.

Well, kids, it's closing time...you don't have to go home but you can't stay here.Until we meet again for part ten...
