I say we do the imperial officer/ trooper as a group project. I think there will be a problem doing the Ephant Mon custom for lack of avalibilty of the base figure. Heck, I do not even own a carded version let a lone a loose one. How about a gladiator custom for the monthly custom chalenge. The entries could be fan based, from the cartoon clone wars, the creaturs on the chess table, from the video games (Bounty Hunter had a gladiator sequence between to alien creatures), other expanded universe sources, ect. Another example I saw on e-bay a few months age, someone dressed up clone troopers with spikes and chainmail and other armor and weapons. They were pretty good, kind of like the clone troopers fighting in the roman collosim games. Of course, the best part, there would be endless supplies of resources to hunt down for each custom. Thats my two cents.
