Head, waist, legs: Star Wars- Han Solo
Chest/back: Star Wars- Lobot
Arms: Star Wars- Weequay
Helmet: cut from Imaginext Batman armor


Character:

Moondancer was a member of Palitoy's Action Force, of the Space Force subteam. Space Force is, in my opinion, very stupid. The uniforms are an unappealing mix of orange, grey, yellow, and blue. The first version of Moondancer didn't really look like a pilot of any variety, but was more convincing than the second version, which was a simple Short-Fuze repaint.

Design:

The only reason I made this figure was because the leftover parts from my Black Major custom looked like they could pull off a fairly decent Space Force figure. Moondancer was the best match, so the parts became him. The leftover arms included Lobot's and were too disco, so they we replaced with Weequay arms. The Lobot belly band gives Moondancer some much needed techno kibble. The Palitoy's helmet was ridiculous for a space pilot- an OG13 style helmet in blue with a clear visor. Here it's been upgraded with an Imaginext Batman helmet, which also adds some techno kibble.

I've begun dabbling with adding in articulation to my low POA customs. Honestly, I don't like this character enough to even bother.

Colors & Paint:

Based on the Palitoy figure. Even though it was the early 80's, Palitoy put zero effort into trying to make the few head sculpts look different through the use of paint. Here Moondancer has an olive skin tone to better match the character's ethnicity. The darker skin tone and the jet black hair work fairly well to disguise the Han Solo head.

Special thanks to 46 Zone of hisstank.com who provided me with a template for the Space Force logo.

Sculpting & Modifying:

The neck was shortened, with a small o-ring at the base to look like a space helmet collar. The left Weequay arm was cut at the wrist and the hand repositioned. The helmet originally had open gaps towards the top (to prevent children from choking, I assume, like the old MASK helmets). The gaps are epoxy filled.

Thanks for looking.
