Star Wars Skulls

Hello!

The base look of all the skulls, they are made of some type of rubber so they aren't hard at all, they also need to be washed or else the paint wont stick to them and your fingers will and any fabric they come in contact with will smell oily.












The box in which they come in

I painted four of mine black and gave them a light weathering, they come in a dark plastic metal color and I feel could be useful as sci-fi clutter, the fact they have that sand inside means that they won't be moving around too much.

The skulls available are Gamorrean, Monkey-lizard, trandoshan, zabrak, rodian and hutt. The monkey lizard and hutt are the ones with the scaling issues but could work if we make them work, the hutt one is too small for an adult of the species and the monkey lizard is too big, the rest look more or less to be 1/6 scale or close to it. If you are going to buy them this way check the bottom of the boxes they come in as each skull has a different code, that way you wont end up with 4 monkey lizard skulls and 3 rodians, I gave my excess skulls to a friend that likes to collect skull related items and is into star wars too.

I hope this is wasn't posted before, I had figured when I found these that I would see them pop up in 1/6 scale forums (at least the ones I tend to lurk around) but I never saw them so I figured those of you with the space for cool dioramas or that just like to collect cool clutter mind find them useful.
See you guys next time and have fun!

Nice one! I certainly haven't seen them before. Double points for the boxes being useful too.

I agree, nice find, and nicely spruced up by yourself. The Hutt skull could belong to a baby Hutt, so no real problem there. The oversized monkey lizard, well, that's a harder one to rationalize. Maybe one exposed to radiation?

Pretty cool. I wonder if these are online at Wal-Mart... could use some for “Knick-knacks” in my Jabba dio.

Interesting! I remember digging out dinosaur skeletons that were cast in some kind of plaster with my nephew, we felt like archaeologists. Kinetic sand seems much easier and healthier. The boxes seem nice to, for any scale.

I first wasn't sure if the Hutt head was Jabba or Yoda.  

poor greedo, well i guess now we have the final proof that indeed han solo shot first

I wouldn't have found them if I didn't decide to take a trip to the toy aisle, they seem to have just popped up at random walmarts since I asked at my local one if they had any and the employee said he had never seen them before.

Thanks, baby hutt skull is quite dark but in Star Wars I could see a bounty hunter having such a trophy, or even a sith. The monkey lizard is quite mutant, I thought about cutting some of the jaw bone and re-attach it somehow to make a different alien since it's too big, that or the company could make a womp rat so I could have the skulls of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Monkey-lizards and their master.

I'm unsure if they can be found online at walmart, I've seen them on ebay ranging from 4 dollars all the way to 20 for a single one, I got most of these on sale but when I returned a few weeks later the where back to their normal price.

Other than the oily smell of the sand it isn't much of a problem a bit of dish soap on the skull and a brush and you get the sand out of it, I'll try to take some photos tomorrow of the crates next to a figure, they seem to be a good size for ammo or supply crates.

Oh it was the photo angle, however if I find a yoda skull I'll buy it.

Indeed, the boxes come with a little "Science" pamphlet and the picture for the rodian is greedo, so I guess it is greedo's skull, same goes for Maul, Jabba and his monkey lizard.

As I said, here's a picture of a figure next to the crate, they are about 3 inches tall and about two inches wide, not big but not bad considering they are meant to be made out of some sort of metal.

I also think the crates work for sixth scale.

Ah so this guy really is a rebel soldier. I think they are great to be made custom as their equipment can be from many sources. Excited to see more in the future.
