[M4-22 - Purist Minifigures] – The Outcasts

[Oky]

The Outcasts are a ragtag team of scavengers from across different species, backgrounds, and age groups. The thing that unites them aside from their dirty clothes and rusty armor is the fact that they have all been cast aside by the Empire in some form or another. Hunted and unwanted, they were all alone before they met each other and had nowhere to call home, but in becoming scavengers, they have found new purpose and become a family. Together, these misfits travel the galaxy looking for valuable items to salvage that have been thrown or cast out by others much like they were - and find the value in themselves along the way.

Sabreena Vex

Sabreena is one of the few remaining Mandalorians and the leader of the team. She survived the Great Purge of Mandalore, but she lost everything in the attack: Her home, her armor, and her husband and children. She now roams the galaxy scavenging pieces of Mandalorian armor to rebuild her own. To help her in this quest, she enlisted the help of other outcasts of the Empire and ended up building a new family as well for, and she will do anything to protect it. She is a strong fighter and dedicated leader, but also very caring. While she does not follow the Way of the Mandalore like the Children of the Watch and removes her helmet when not on a mission, she does follow a strict code of honor. She now wears an old Mandalorian helmet that she modified with a visor and a makeshift jetpack which help her locate and scavenge items in high places.

Vigo Idalgo

Vigo, or "Vig" for short, is a teenage Devaronian whose horns have not quite grown out yet and is in charge of the team's finances and explosives. Vigo's parents used to run a large criminal organization on the planet where he grew up. The Idalgos were in control of a large section of the planet, and when the Empire took it over, the Imperials saw them as a threat to their authority and had them executed, orphaning young Vigo. Vig managed to escape the attack and spent the next few years growing up on the streets. Using what he had learned from his parents, he turned to crime to earn credits, stealing and selling valuable items on the black market. One day, Sabreena caught him trying steal from her, but instead of punishing him, she offered him to leave his life of crime behind and join her scavenger crew which he accepted. Sabreena now teaches him to live by a code of honor like her and he has come to see her as a mother figure. Vig uses his eye for valuables and his connections to the criminal underworld to sell any parts that the Outcasts salvage. No matter how obscure or illegal the items they find are, Vig "knows a guy" to sell them to. Like many teenagers, Vig is mischievous, rambunctious, and impulsive and often gets himself into trouble. He also loves to blow stuff up, so when the team needs to blow apart some wreckage or create a distraction to get away from the Empire, Vig is happy to oblige with his collection of explosives.

Kara Te

Kara Te is one of the few Kaminoans who survived the Empire's destruction of the cloning facility on Kamino, and she is a scientist at heart and a clever inventor. After her lab and home was destroyed, she went into hiding from the Empire and continued her scientific research in secret using any scrap that she could gather. For any hard-to-find parts that she needed, she had to resort to buying from the black market which is where she met Vigo. He used to sell her electronic parts, and when the Outcasts needed a medic and engineer, he recruited her for the team due to her great scientific knowledge. She builds all of the teams gadgets such as Sabreena's jetpack, Vig's detonators, and Scrapper's body, and she even invented a device that can detect nearby valuable items to scavenge. Despite what her name might suggest, Kara is not good at fighting and will avoid conflict as much as possible, usually keeping to herself, although she does carry a vibro-blade for defense and is always happy to use her tech skills to get the team out of dangerous situations. She also wears a helmet that she modified with various gizmos and carries a pack of parts and tools wherever she goes. Kara is a calm and rational thinker which often puts her at odds with Vig's wild and juvenile behavior.

5C-R4P a.k.a. Scrapper

Scrapper is the team's droid helper. He was built out of various discarded droid parts by Kara Te to serve as her lab assistant. He has the torso of an astromech, the head of a Pit droid, the right leg of GONK droid, the left leg of a cyborg Sith, the right arm of a protocol droid, and the left arm of a battle droid, along with some extra arms with tools on his back. But don't let his size and arsenal of sharp, pointy tools intimidate you. Under all that rough scrap metal, he has a big, mild-mannered heart and he will do anything to help his friends. Scrapper is Vigo's best friend and the two are often seen together. Unfortunately, having only been built recently, Scrapper is a bit naive and often gets roped into Vig's mischief. He uses his tools to tear apart wreckage during scavenge missions and to fix their ship.

Gramps

Gramps is an elderly Chadra-Fan and the team's pilot. While he's not actually related to any of the Outcasts, everyone calls him that as he has become a sort of grandfather to their family. He used to be an ace pilot in his youth andhas a lot of experience traveling the galaxy, but he had trouble finding work when the Empire took over. Not only are Chadra-Fans treated as lesser beings by the Empire, but no one takes him seriously as a capable pilot due to his age as well. He met the Outcasts when they were looking for someone to fly their ship. He was being kept as a pet by an Imperial officer at the time and promised to be their pilot if they helped him escape, and so they did. He was very grateful and has been their pilot ever since. While he is getting a bit senile and losing his sight and hearing, he has a lot of wisdom to depart to the team and knows all the best places in the galaxy to go scavenging - if he can remember how to get there.

Great figs! If i had to pick a favorite, i think it has to be Gramps, but i really like all your figs.

[Umbra-Manis]

Excellent collection, Gramps is definitely a standout, but Sabreena is excellent and makes a great use of the new Lightyear armor.
