Jesse James:
2-1-WTF? Is his designation.
Mongo was the only one who ever inspired me to work a modern version but I could see making that with some modification for a more practical design. :). He does look evil tho.

His impracticality is what made me want to make him. It wouldn't have been nearly as fun if it looked normal. I'd have loved to have been there when the Kenner employees were coming up with this stuff. They all said, "yeah stick 2 1B's arms on it's shoulders and throw Zuckuss' (4LOM) gun in it's hands, perfect. Let's bring this to our bosses"
Though if you think about it the rebels won't see him coming. They'll say oh look an Imperial Droid but he's walking the other direction and then peripheral vision shot kills them all.
Jayson:
My guess is he spins 360 at the waist firing until every one in the "plane of death" has been eliminated.
Phrubruh:
The Death Blossom!

So, I was browsing Ebay the other day and came across a custom vintage Willrow Hood of all things. I'm an occasional sucker for vintage customs, so I checked out the seller's other items and found that he also was selling the three prototype figures Nick recently mentioned. This and the lack of anything new to buy prompted me to cut a deal with the seller for all four figures. I present to you - Willrow, Mongo, and Imperial Attack Droids A&B.
Scott - the seller was super excited to know that Willrow's creator was a member of the MN group. I promised to show you his creation - I can bring it for you to see in person if you're planning to come to any of the upcoming meetings. He'd be happy to make another if you have any interest in buying one. I ended up paying $25 per figure including shipping.
