Willrow Hood Decal - Blank Edition

Willow Hood aka. The Ice Cream Maker Guy LEGO Minifig Decal

 

Probably the most famous Meme in the Star Wars Universe, defensively the biggest in-joke. From a simple, podgy extra running around Cloud City with a Ice Cream Maker as a prop, to a Hero of the Rebellion escaping with the City's Memory Core, holding the names of the Rebel's biggest financiers. This guy epitomises the Star Wars fandom and the Expanded Universe, where any background extra can get a back story tightly woven and is integral to the main plot of the films, all from a couple of frames screentime. He's a tribute to the fandom's sense of humor, and devotion they have to the series.

 

Surprised nobody's made a LEGO version of Willrow to date (that I could find). Thought he might have turned up in the LEGO Star Wars Games as background joke/tribute, but nothing, where's the Willrow Love?

 

Willrow would be nothing without his "Computer Memory Core", so the instructions for that are supplied. I noticed from what footage there is on him in the Empire Strikes Back, that he's basically wearing a Rebel's Pilot Jumpsuit without the equipment vest, if he's popular enough I will upload a version with this attached so Willrow can take to the skies and get that Memory Core to safety off-world! This Version can be used of transparent Water slide Paper to get the most authentic results.

 

If you do use this decal, I would love to see how it turns out and where in the universe he ends up. So do send me a link to any pictures or MOCs you have either through Flickr or any of methods on the bottom of the image, enjoy!

 

THIS GUY WOULD BE AN AWESOME COMI-CON EXCLUSIVE!
