Oops (photo heavy!)

It got a bit long and photo heavy. But I promise there is a surprise at the end. Anyway, blame Disney. I just couldn't resist the satirical potential.

Excellent posing of the Maulrats!

Wasn't expecting the final panel!

What the ever-lovin’...! That was hilarious. Very fun , and really nice job on the posing. I hope you didn’t have to watch (or worse, listen) to that video too much to get all that down. Great photo story spoof. Love it.

Thank you very much, I'm glad you enjoyed that (they were far easier to pose than she was; and I'm totally stealing "Maulrats"!), and that you were surprised.

Thank you for the enthusiastic response. I'm very happy you found it funny. Sometimes things are funny in our heads, and don't always resonate much. Well the Mauls (or now Maulrats) are all TBLeagues, so they are (relatively) a joy to pose, even in dance positions. She was a slightly damaged Hot Toys body in a damaged tight leather bodysuit with small wrist pegs and soft rubbery plastic big alien hands that slipped off the pegs very easily, not to mention there were no actual feet in the boots, so she generally required a lot of help from the back up dancers. I swear this is not what I had in mind when I ordered these Greedo casts. Without being a fan, I find this and Baby one more time bearable, especially for the sake of satirical interpretation. I did watch it a bunch of times and the first half or so in particular is a pretty precise match up of the poses and the lyrics from the video (of course each line of lyrics tends to have several different poses in the fast-paced chopped-up video). And where the poses of the dancers and the lead don't match up perfectly, is it also often source accurate (though in some instances it does reflect the difference in poseability).

That was so funny!

The posing is so perfect.

who says one can't have fun during times like this? Well, not everyone can do this, as the figures are rather rare. Don't blame Disney please...I'm getting a lot of entertainment from it!

Awww, the good old "it was just a dream/nightmare" ending I dislike if this is done in big stories or books most of the time. It was a good solution for your little comic though

It is funny that nearly everyone knows this song (which is important to have fun with your story.)

You have so much fun and energy for this hobby, thanks for this, made me smile and I enjoyed all these pictures and poses.

LOL, wow, this was unexpectedly, randomly hilarious. XD

Attack of the Maul Clones? The dancing to Britney Spears reminds me of that storyline with the Ninth Doctor and Rose where the song 'Toxic' had become known as a 'traditional Earth Ballad'.

ONG that is the BEST THING I've seen on the ENTIRE INTERNET for YEARS!!!

Thank you thank you thank you.

Who here has thought that Obi Wan was secretly the James Bond of the Jedi Order?

Poor guy, that would've crushed him if it was reality

Gridney was so delighted with her fans, that she asked me to provide you with this autographed photo of her:

Thank you. Yes, Disney can provide entertainment despite itself. And, technically speaking, I suppose Greedo and his various relatives (including his female cousin in Jabba's palace music group) weren't Disney's fault, at least back when they first appeared.

Thank you very much, glad you thought it worked out. And you are right, inside jokes are a lot harder to pull off if not enough people are "in" on the requisite knowledge.

Thank, I'm always happy to make you laugh. Maul Clones? Now that is perhaps a better idea than Maul Triplets... except maybe they have to be more uniform. Will have to think about it. Fun use of Toxic, too. Didn't the Mad Max movies also make much of seemingly minor things?

Well, it makes sense, given his record, his missions, and his ability to play a bit loose with the truth.

I know... well... he was already crushed a long time ago when all this really happened (in some form), but this bad dream just brought it back to life for him.

You create a Charakter is worth it to get listed in the SW Wookiepedia Gridney is absolute great, and You copy the moves in excellent detail. What a diva, she steal the show to all the others

Fabulous sir, fantasticmaul.
They look like the Haka Maul Stripper Boys.
You might be the only person in the galaxy with the topless artistically painted Seamless Mauls.  Never deny that you are a huge Darth Maul Fanboy.
Wire space antennas placed effecticely.
Try to imagine that Britney Spears voice in the nasal Rodian accent of Greedo. There is probably technology available to autotune that. It took me a while to realize who that Yeah yeah yeah is supposed to sound in my head haha.
She shot first.
If this was a Youtube video it would be shared by Ewan McGregor.

Thank you very much, I'm very glad you liked her. Considering what else has made into Wookiepedia, why not! I know you yourself are no stranger to creating custom Star Wars characters, and you've made some very cool ones (who else can make a Gungan be cool!?). But I think you are wrong in one respect. Gridney wants you to know that she is just a regular girl Rodian female waiting for a nice boy to fall in love with, and she is a shy and humble person who loves animals and does not consume anything which once had less than two eyes.

Thank you very much, I'm glad you enjoyed this. Funny suggestions on developing the characters. It gave me a chance to compare and evaluate my Mauls (remember this started as a body coloring experiment). Oil pastel apart, the new marker technique (using real touch markers) seems to have been great for the bodies themselves (though not for the harder plastic hands and feet). And Rodian jewelry is multi-purpose, doubling as communication devices and other tools.
Actually, Britney Spears sings the "Yeah yeah yeah..." part quite nasally. With more patience and photos, one could probably make an animation video of this. In fact, if you just download the images and go through them quickly, it almost works that way.

Really funny stuff, totally unexpected, haha! Never thought I would be reminded of that song again, least of all on this forum. But anything goes in the nightmares of poor Obi-Wan, he is truly haunted. I will never be able to unsee those colored Maul bodies as backup dancers now. lol That alien singer also looks really good, how much custom work did you do to it?!

Thank you very much, I'm so glad you enjoyed it, and got a bit of a surprise. Speaking of nightmares, I do think Gridney had better fashion sense and the good idea to match her dancers.

Let's see... I bought some soft rubbery plastic casts of the Sideshow Greedo head sculpt and hand sculpts from this great guy on eBay, not intending them for this, but it's not like I had the clothes and accessories for an actual Greedo. I had the slightly damaged not really seamless olive green Gamora body from Hot Toys (Gamora's head has long since been transplanted to an oil-pastel repainted TBLeague S25B). I had the black skin tight leather-like body suit with a broken zipper. And I had some smaller Sideshow standard imperial jackboots. So it all came together. I had to drill holes into the hands to fit the wrist pegs (somewhat poorly, as they can come off very easily, which made posing a pain, exacerbated by the outfit). I did apply some oil pastel red lipstick that I figured I can rub off later. I made a basic red shirt out of light weight cloth, tailored with black duct tape, and also fashioned a collar piece from the same, to hide the neck (which would not have matched the head sculpt), as well as cuffs to hide the wrist pegs. Then I added the wire work, which consists of six spiral-like rings, two bracelets with a different weaved design, five simple hoop earrings, one more elaborate "Rodian" earring, two pectoral pieces that interlock over the front and snake around the breasts and neck, and two head pieces secured by the base of the antennae, one over the forehead, the other rising like a traditional Russian headdress over the head; that one got as a pendant the handle from the broken zipper. Finally, I made a long necklace with a slightly complex pattern of black and red micro beads. That was about it. Believe it or not, it was less of a pain than Obi-Wan, who got a head swap, but also broke his ankle peg in two places, and I had to drill them out of the lower leg and boot and replace them with others, which I found after much in the way of archaeological excavations, after having tried every other plausible solution in the process (Sideshow uses -- or used -- very specific pegs).

Aww, Gridney Spears! She so sexy!

I totally don't "get" this, probably because I blocked out that entire period of pop music and listened to opera and classical (oh, and U2 and the Boss, maybe a little Sting, am I showing my age?). But those Mauls as backup dancers are hilarious! and those first two shots, you have a special way of posing these serious figures and making them look so dopey it cracks me up everytime!

Yes sorry Gube, You missunderstood. I´m sure Gridney never use drugs

Hey, you've created a beautiful spacey pop star.
We have the European Song Contest this weekend, I'm sure she would win.

Now this, THIS! is why the darkside is actually feared, it's not because of the corruption or because of "force lightning" (actually called spicy light) it's because of synchronized shirtless mauls dancing to a Britney spears song being sang by a rodian lady.

Fantastic work as always, and the creativity always top notch.

Our beloved Gridney Daggers wanted to thank and respond to each and every one of her bazillions of fans for the kind messages of appreciation and adulation, but when she finally came to and rolled out of bed to go to breakfast with her dancers, an unseemly brawl occurred over which one she would ride with (we cannot show you the footage of that part, it is too graphic). Moreover, she is missing one of her trademark unobtanium earrings, and her pet Mynock Spleef is the chief suspect. Due to this delay and drama, she has asked me, her lowly and adoring business manager, to respond to your comments and questions.

Stryker2011 wrote:Aww, Gridney Spears! She so sexy!

Yes, she is, isn't she. And she doesn't even have to take her clothes off. By the way, it's Daggers, not Spears.

Now you've done it. Just for this, you will have to witness Gridney perform an aria from one of her recent operas. I'm glad that this still tickled you after all.

I can assure you that as a Galactic role model, Gridney Daggers says no to drugs. And she wouldn't need them anyway, since Rodian DNA contains the same properties as those of hallucinogenic frogs. Conspiracy theorists and inconsiderate haters attribute Rodians' high rate of success in entertainment and bounty hunting to these properties.

Thank you very much. And that was funny. I was just looking at some winning Eurovision performances and music videos and, not to generalize, but some of them make me believe you that Gridney would conquer this planet too.

Thank you very much, I'm delighted you liked this. But just one correction. Since Gridney is from a long time ago from a galaxy far far away, surely she is the original artist (not that one would need to prove this).

Leave it to a woman to create conflict between the guys — getting them to fight over her. They do seem to love their drama!


(Just kidding, ladies.)
