Like many collectors of The Clone Wars action figure line, we really wished Hasbro would have released Trandoshan hunting pods in their mini-rig line. A few years ago, Star Wars customizer Lucasclones made a custom version of the vehicle, and it's the only one I've ever seen made. If any start-up Star Wars 3-D printer artists want a cool vehicle to sell this would be one of them that I would like to see offered. If Hasbro had made this I would have bought several.
A few weeks ago, Lucasclones was advertising the two Trandoshan hunters pictured below for purchase on his Instagram account. Dad shot him a text message and asked him if he still had the Trandoshan hunting pod that he had made. We loved this custom 3 3/4" scale vehicle since the first time we saw it pictured in the Star Wars customizing forums on the web. Not only did Lucasclones still have the hunting pod in his possession he was willing to part with it. He even threw in the two advertised Trandoshan Hunters!
The roll bar broke in shipping, but Dad was able to repair everything with a little bit of krazy glue. I'm really happy the add this piece to my collection. Especially since it was one of Hasbro's biggest missed opportunities.
