How to recreate this character ?

[Morangxs]

Hello,

My first project as a MOC is a huge one: I would like to recreate that one scene from The Phantom Menace which left me starstruck as a kid and which actually made me discover the franchise (purists please, don't throw stones at me) : the Boonta Eve Classic, with its starting grid, its podracers, its bleachers and its commentator.

I know that the character exists as a LEGO version, however it is only digital. Do you guys have any idea on how to include it ? Would it look nicely as a brick build or should I ask for an exclusive custom version ? Advice appreciated! Thank you for all your upcoming ideas and thoughts on this one.

For those who wouldn't visualize whom I'm talking about:

If you're looking to not be a purist, use this piece here and paint it the appropriate colors. It's probably the simplest solution in my eyes.

Thank you. Effectively, it looks like the most approaching part. Still, I think asking for a special design would be the most efficient answer: characteristic heads, four hands... I won't be able to concept something as complex!

Hmm very difficult.

There is an armor to make two headed figs: http://www.brickwarriors.com/ogre-armor/

How does its body Look like?

I's a nice one indeed, but it doesn't really match with the overall look of the characters. And it doesn't solve the question of the four-handed character. A similar one more simplist would be perfect though!

This Troig seems to be a one-time only alien species featured in the saga. From memory, I don't recall having seen an other one. Only the upper half of their body is shown on screen. But according to an Hasbro toy, here is what it looks like.

Hmm if I were you I would take heads, put them in round 1x1 bricks, customize a torso so it supports two heads at an angle and drill two more holes in the torso to support two more arms. The official Lego solution for four arms won't work because it uses two Torsos and this will be too tall.

Or Even better, attach heads to the piece ChristopherLee mentioned.

Actually, the official solution could work for the torso in terms of height as this character might be the tallest of all the characters featured at the Boonta Eve. That's on its overall look that I am perplex. I will try to find other solutions.

If you want four arms, Garmadon had a piece that would help. http://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=98127c01&idColor=77#T=S&C=77&O={"color":77}

Anyway, use Jar Jar's body for the fig. It would look the best. I think. http://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=973px59bc01&idColor=69#T=I&C=69

Also I would suggest using something like the space pirate's head if you're going the minifig route. http://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?M=sw287&#T=I

Additionally, give this piece a new coat of paint and it has a tail. https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=15504&name=Minifig, Costume Tail Cat&category=[Minifig, Body Wear]#T=C&C=85

That's a tough one. You could always make a sculpture, if you'd accept something non-purist.
