Description: Makkik's latest project had been toys of all kinds. Remote control TIE fighters, Jedi Squirrels. And he suspected both would be major hits... but he wanted something he could make more of! He could only make so many toys by himself. He needed a factory. He considered contacting Suvian, but they were a droids company, not a toy company. Making his own factory would be much to expensive... But he had an idea! Jawa sandcrawlers, as he learned in history class, were massive vehicles once used to processing ore. Which meant it wouldn't be too hard to use them for his purposes... So Makkik contacted his tribe.

He hadn't spoken to them since he left to found Jawamart, but they were certainly impressed with his success. He was the first Jawa from their tribe, if not from any, to found a stationaryshop; which, it turns out, was useful for a lot more profit. One sales pitch later, Makkik had convinced them that they could all share in the profit of his next product... all they had to do was let him use the parts of their sandcrawler that they didn't need. Eventually, they agreed. Soon, the ore processing areas of the massive sandcrawler bnecame something of a small factory, which was operated by Makkik's old tribe, who were to deliver crates of product bi-weekly, in exchange for credits. Jawamart's first two lines of action figures, one of which being the 'Heroes of the Galaxy collectables!', were to be made.

But before production- he needed templates. The real heroes (and villains) of the galaxy! Sure, some of the action figures could just be normal nameless regular joes, maybe a Jedi or a fun-looking droid, but he also wanted toys people would reconize! Sadly, he couldn't make action figures of the galaxy's leaders without their permission... So he put out an ad! Many people came, of course, to be molded into action figures. And still more came after the doors closed, who were destined to become the second line... It wasn't long before each one was created.

The 'collectables' line is geared more towards 6-10 year olds, but it's likely they'll be collected by much older. Each one is about an inch and a half high, and are to be sold in pack of one to five, in tinted boxes so one never nkows which they're buying. Some figures will be rarer then others, making it difficult to collect the entire line. However, almost as soon as the collectable line began selling at Jawamart, kids and older began to make it their goal to complete the set... making Makkik a lot of money. It's acommon frusteration for collectors to get the same common figurine... many many times.

There are currently only eleven figurines, so a collection won't be too hard to gather, but more are to be added in the future. They range in rarity from Very common to Common to Uncommon to Rare to Very Rare. (More rare ones will come in the next line) They are as follows.

What is the difference between this and your previous submission? They appear to be the same thing with more description and imagery put into this one, is there something I am missing?
 
[member="Silara Vantai"] - The other ones are action figures, these are collectible figurines.

The action figures are meant as toys, and I probalby won't be making many more of those, just a second line and that's it.

These are meant as collectibles (like trading cards, or anything that says 'Collect all 6!'). Whlie the others are simple toys, these come in tinted boxes, you never know what you're going to get. Also, I realy wanted to use lego people... lmao. I just copied part of the description because it is just an introduction to how Makkik is producing something at minor rather then semi-unique, and how he legally got permission to make toys out of people.

They're not too much different as they're both palstic toys, but it's the same difference between a slugthrower with a scope and a slugthrower with a grenade launcher attachment. Similer, but different features to make more money in two different niches.

Both are just plastic, and very simple to make, which is why both are able to be pumped out of a sandcrawler.

Sorry if the answer is short, or not what you're looking for, I'm usually asleep two hours ago. I'm just tending to notifications before bed.
