Fan Art by Alex Newborn

Modeller Alex Newborn has created numerous customized action figures — fortunately for me, several of them were of the Wraiths.

Elassar Targon

Of this Elassar model, Alex says, "I wound up using a recast Labria head a friend molded for me, so since I would have to paint the head from scratch I decided to give him as different a look from Labria as I could. He has more of a greyish skin tone, a paint called sandstone which exactly matches the color Kenner used on the Twi'lek Bib Fortuna. And, I gave him traditional dark brownish horns but I 'gilded' them with some gold paint over them, a detail adapted from some of his dialogue."

Jesmin Ackbar

"This one was done with vintage figures, a Luke-X-wing and an Admiral Ackbar, so her paint scheme is a bit more cartoony to capture the vintage figure style Kenner used back in the day."

Piggy

About this Piggy, Alex writes, "His current configuration sports this repainted Kenner-sculpted chestpak and hose which were left over from a TIE Pilot I customized into something else."

Squeaky

Alex created this 'Squeaky in Han Solo Disguise' figure (from events in Solo Command) by putting the Removable Limbs See-Threepio head atop the Lando General body. He reports, "By making the heads interchangeable, it also yielded me a Wedge General when the removable helmet Wedge came out."
