He lives out of his backpack which also functions as a kennel for his pet. It has air filtration and can turn into a tent.
Each little canister contains a different creature which could be collected.

Collector
My last character option is the collector. This old creature is not an enemy but a story character. He collects weird wildlife with the help of his little retriever pet which he keeps tethered on a long lead.

Pack mule and toady
The idea behind this creature was that its gun was mounted on a large heavily armoured beast. The beast could withstand attack and the little fellow would use it as cover.
You would have to score hits when it jumped out to fire.
The ammunition this character uses is spherical little creatures with super sharp teeth that bite through the target.
I have called the little guy Toady and the big one Jennifer.
I couldn't figure out the little guy and I never got it right

Trying to figure out a spring mechanism for the gun
Mounted Lacer
My second possible character is a called a Lacer. This creature is agile and strong and fires an acidic goo weapon. These are common enemies.
The commander class Lacers ride a slugbeast that has been fitted with robotic legs. If the player defeats a commander without hurting the slug they too can ride it and mount any weapon to the beast's saddle.

Slugbeast sold separately.
Technician
My first possible character is a mid range boss enemy, a Technician.
He is slow and not very strong but he quickly creates agile little explosive enemies that charge at the player in rapid waves. He is a lizard-like fellow with a robotic leg which he fitted himself after losing a drunken bet with his father, insisting that if he chopped it off it was sure to grow back.
He has two large canisters on his back, the first is filled with Electric pulse shrimp and the second with a volatile explosive swamp liquid akin to nitro glycerine. The Shrimp soak up the explosive liquid in the dispensing capsule. The technician quickly affixes robotic legs to the shrimp which are coded to run toward the player. When the shrimp hits any surface it produces a defensive shock and explodes.
When the player defeats this boss he/she can re-purpose the technician's gear into a portable explosive shrimp flinger that behaves much like a grenade launcher. or something.

I have no idea how this would work as an action figure..

The design characteristics seem to be anything goes.. Robots or alien creatures of any kind with a wide range of weapons from giant blasters to whips and swords. There are some indigenous creatures that are unadorned but most characters feature either a robotic element or futuristic armour of some kind.
