Han Solo's DL-44 Blaster Pistol by Captain Infinity

It is a sympathetic version DL-44 Heavy Blaster Pistol used by Han Solo to assassinate Greedo that offers us Captain Infinity. 

This is not the first MOC of this weapon that I present to you here (see this article) and I think as for the lightsaber handles which I was talking to you a few days ago, LEGO could make an effort and offer us an exposed version of this iconic weapon of the saga.

LEGO producing all kinds of blasters and revolvers on a minifig scale, I do not see any justified or justifiable contraindication to the production of a model on a human scale ...

Captain Infinity offers other views of this MOC competing as part of the Mocathalon 2013 on its MOCPages space.

LEGO Star Wars 75024 HH-87 Starhopper

Sorry for the blurry photo of the final version of the LEGO Star Wars 75024 HH-87 Starhopper set, but that's the best I could get by zooming in on the thumbnail uploaded by the merchant site German eggersmann-modellautos.de.

This set of the second wave 2013, announced at 39.99 € on the merchant site in question, will be delivered with three minifigs which would be: Obi-Wan Kenobi (disguised), Cad Bane and a Nikto Guard. This set would be inspired by the episode "Friends and Enemies"from the 4th season of The Clone Wars.

Ewok Village - Leia

We are talking about the Ewok Village set which has been the subject of a tenacious rumor for a few months with this Leia custom offered by Pray Yed.

The objective is of course to reproduce the outfit and hairstyle of the princess on Endor (See this picture) and the hair of the Forest maiden from the 9 series of collectible minifigs seems to do the trick.

The rest of the outfit (a decal just like for the face) is also faithful to the costume from the film and we only have to hope that if set there, LEGO will be able to offer us a Leia minifigure in this spirit.

A new version "Endor" of Leia would be welcome to offer an alternative to the one released in 2009 in the set 8038 The Battle of Endor.

Note that in the image above, the photo on the right has been retouched so that the hair is the right color.

Omar Ovalle's Bounty Hunters: IG-88 & White Boba Fett

Obviously inspired at the moment, Omar Ovalle continues his series of busts of bounty hunters or Bounty Hunters the most famous of the Star Wars universe.

After embo, so here is IG-88 (I love it), the assassin droid and Boba Fett (I love less), here in a version inspired by a concept by Ralph McQuarrie, the official illustrator of the Star Wars universe who died in 2012.

As usual, everyone will have their personal appreciation of these two creations that you can find in large format in the album dedicated to the Bounty Hunters of Omar Ovalle's flickr gallery.
