Oh, and click here if you missed Part 1 of our latest Cosplay build!

This next part of John's "Boba Vet" cosplay is a little twisted, and absolutely hysterical if you are, too. It's also kind of creepy, and given how much I enjoy funny creepy things, it's really no surprise this is my favorite part. I'm inordinately proud of it considering all I did was repaint a Star Wars toy and add some medical props, but I'll let you judge for yourself.
I started with this "Kowakian Monkey Lizard" toy sold at Galaxy's Edge in Disney:

Most folks know this creature as Salacious Crumb, so I've dubbed ours Sally.
These toys are made to sit on your shoulder, and you can puppet their heads & mouths with the attached controller. They're expensive, I think around $75. To give you an idea of how long John's wanted to do this cosplay, we had a CM friend buy us one when Galaxy's Edge first opened over two years ago. I can't find them on Shop Disney, so they may be out of stock or discontinued by now.
Here's our Sally, clean, mean, and pristine:

That's about to change.
::evil grin::
Well, not the mean part. If you've seen Star Wars you know Salacious is a nasty piece of work, so rest assured he has all of this coming.
Official GIF Reminder That Sally Is A Jerk:

NOBODY PLUCKS OUT 3PO's EYE ON MY WATCH
That's right, monkey lizard, you're going down.
Ahem.
First I mixed some craft paint into a muddy brownish gray color, diluted it
with water, and painted it all over Sally, quickly wiping it off again
with a rag:
I also scrubbed some paint into the hair, so he's good and grungy.
Next I used a dark red paint to make scratches and gouges, lightly edging them in black to give them depth:
