Topic: Starchaser's Custom Thread

Ryeesa Vard was a great idea! I wasn't aware that Osha's head was so well done! It's awesome that both MATTEL and Hasbro used two separate piece for head and hair here.

Deema looks great, too! Those parts are quite rare by now. I remember being in NYC when the TAC figures were on pegs by the hundreds at just one Toys R Us store alone! That Jedi Wolfe was one of them.

It's amazing what you come up with in this kit-bash only thread!

Thanks DM - Yeah...I got the Shistavanen in a bag of figures from a thrift store a couple years ago.

Looks great Buddy! I'm working on a new 1:18th scale Lak Sivrak head. I'll post when its ready.

Have been traveling for work, so I haven't had much time to make customs. I just returned from a trip to find these items arrived from the post:



Its stormy here in the Pacific Northwest, but I thought I'd pop up a picture anyway. I'm pretty happy with the Mandalorian Shriek Bats, actually. Wouldn't want Hasbro to keep popping out sets like this as I don't need 5 million Mandalorians, but the variation on these is nice. There's only one rifle in the set - four would have been nice. There are also four knives, each unique and each pretty cool. The only problem with them is the figures don't come with sheathes so the knives have nowhere to go.

Hop it won't get too stormy in WA! Wow, this picture summarizes where the brand team has taken TVC.
A load of brilliant figures and the Blurrgs are especially well done.
Nice additions!

[Starchaser]

Thanks Philipp,
Storms blew through - late October and November are like that. Yeah...really nice figures. I'm super chuffed about the Blurrgs (and now looking forward to the newly announced Howlers).

Nacsind Xum, a Gand findsman who makes his living as a scout (based on the scout image from the Star Wars RPG "Edge of the Empire).



Recipe:
Head, body = TVC Zuckuss
     (I altered the breather )
Coat = Naboo pilot
Bandolier = Tusken Raider
Rifle = Bom Vimdan

Seeing Zuckuss in a new coat is refreshing! The red and beige fit well. I'm sure no terrain is too challenging for him! I wonder if he a has a vehicle like a speeder to scout around.

Looks like some good stuff is happening in here. Nice.

Thanks, Philipp. I haven't given any thought to additional equipment as he is based on an image from a game. I think I might do a bit of reworking before I am really satisfied with him, though. The coat needs some work, I think and I might need to do some work on his breather. We'll see. In the image the Gand's coat is tan, but that was just a little Zuckuss for me, so I opted to go with an existing coat in a different color (hence the Naboo pilot) rather than trying to make my own softgoods for this one. Not sure how I feel about it completely, and again, I might just breakdown and sew my own.

Thanks, Tamer. There's a little going on:) I've got a lot on the "parts bench" but little time to complete things. Autumn is always busy and this autumn is particularly scheduled out.

Sorry you are getting sick, that's really too bad. Above ground is good...Hope you can get healthy.
