    "Savior, conqueror, hero, villain. You are all things, Revan… and yet you are nothing. In the end, you belong to neither the light nor the darkness. You will forever stand alone."
    ?Darth Malak

"Revan—renowned as the Revanchist, honored as the Revan, reviled as Revan the Butcher, dreaded as the Dark Lord of the Sith Darth Revan, and praised as the Prodigal Knight—was a Force-sensitive Human male who played pivotal roles as both Jedi and Sith in the Mandalorian Wars, Jedi Civil War, and Great Galactic War. Believed to have been born in the Outer Rim Territories around the year 3994 BBY, the man later known as Revan was found by the Jedi Order at an early age and became apprenticed to Jedi Master Kreia. The Padawan had an insatiable hunger for knowledge and learned everything she knew, then studied under a number of other Masters, quickly becoming the Jedi's most promising pupil. Alongside his friend Alek, he became a Jedi Knight and a vocal, charismatic critic of the Order's inactivity in the ongoing war between the Galactic Republic and the Mandalorian Neo-Crusaders. In defiance of the Jedi High Council, the Knight assumed the name "Revan" and started the Revanchist movement to combat the Mandalorian threat as the Republic Military's Supreme Commander."

Hi guys,

I would like to share a little modification of the TAC 3 3/4" Darth Revan with you. About half a year ago I got a modified version of Darth Revan from eBay. I talked to the guy who sold this to me and he said he had kit-bashed his Revan because the original has got no articulation in his legs...he told me that he took the legs of Luke Skywalker (TLC Comic Pack - Empire II) for this project. Two weeks ago I got the original version of Revan, too. So now I can show you a direct comparison.

And since the new 6" Darth Revan starts hitting shelves at the moment I thought it was a good time to share this one. Will we ever see a re-release of the 3 3/4" Revan?

If you are brave enough to modify your Revan, too, here is the result of this recipe:

What you need:

- TAC 30-34 Darth Revan
- TLC Luke Skywalker (Comic Pack: Clone Emperor Palpatine - Empire II)
- Soft goods in black













Please, let me know what you think!

[Tamer]

Looks good to me. Always great to see more arty in a figure. Man, those 3.75" Revans are pretty rare. I enjoyed the TAC Waves. Off to share this update.

[Darth More]

@Tamer: Thanks Shawn. Yeah, I know. And I didn't post these pics of my two Revans to show off or something...it's a real shame that Hasbro doesn't supply the demand of many figures of the past years...and I don't even have to mention the development of the prices for these figures on the secondary market because everyone here knows...even tunghori has gone nuts with his prices by now...
I don't know what is so difficult about a simple repack...

I got these two guys fairly "cheap" compared to current offers on eBay:

- The modified/kit-bashed Revan was a "Buy-it-Now" offer on eBay along with Darth Malak for 49€/~$51 (free shipping) - that was in April 2016 and I couldn't believe it. There are much less offers on the German eBay that usually go much higher that on eBay U.S.
- I had to bid on the second Revan about 3 weeks ago and my winning bid was 51€/~$54
- I actually got the Luke Skywalker figure just yesterday on the German ComicCon in Dortmund for 9€/~$9.50

Conclusion: I don't want to spend $150 for a carded figure that once cost $6.99...AND:

Patience ALWAYS pays off in our beloved hobby!


By the way I probably wouldn't have the guts to take Revan apart, even though I (only) paid $25 for him...I know there is a way to take the figures apart, but I haven't tried, yet...I just thought it was nice to share with you! I will definitely post some custom figures of my own as well! So stay tuned fot them


May the force be with you!

[Tamer]

Sounds good to me!

[hemble]

Great job mate.

Ron

[Foxtrot Delta]

Very nice conversion with the switched legs

[FialaFernbrugg]

The conversion looks very good.
I wouldn't be brave enough to take a 3 3/4 Revan apart.
I hope we see a re-release of the figure in the near future.

[Darth More]

Thank you guys! Yes, we've been hoping for a re-release for alomost 10 years by now! At least we see a 6" version now...hope Disney and Hasbro keep paying attetnion to the Fan's Choice Polls!

327th Legion Clone Trooper (red) - Modification based on ROTS III-33 Commander Deviss

If you are a fan of Clone Troopers and have two figures of Clone Commander Deviss, you might want to check this out!

Deviss' debut was officially as III-33 Clone Commander (red) in Hasbro's Revenge of the Sith Collection in 2005:
http://www.rebelscum.com/rots0533clonecmdr.asp

We saw him re-released/repacked in 2009's Legacy Collection in which he was correctly named "Clone Commander Deviss":
http://www.rebelscum.com/TLCBD37Deviss.asp


About Clone Commander Deviss:

CT-65/91-6210, called Deviss, was Officer of the Grand Army of the Republic, who was generally celebrated as hero.
At the beginning of the Clone Wars Deviss served the Hawkbat Battalion in which he commanded a company of Clone Troopers who called themselves "K-Company".

Later he was assigned to the 327th Star Corps:
First, he led the 327th Star Corps as Captain, later as Commander.
The 327th Star Corps was part of the 2nd Sector Army of the System-Army Alpha.
36,864 soldiers belonged to the 327th Star Corps and were led by Clone Commander Bly and General Aayla Secura.

For this mod you need:

- Hasbro (ROTS): III-33 Clone Commander (Battle Gear!)
- The belt/harness of the TAC Clone Commander Neyo
http://www.rebelscum.com/TLC20saleucami.asp


You just need to cut off the pins of the helmet's visor i.e. with a cutter knife.

And here is the result:







You can also just swap the helmets and take off the figure's Shoulder Pauldron and Kama:




327th Star Corps/Red: Clone Trooper (Sergeant); Clone Sharpshooter







Some of you might have already known this mod.
I just wanted to share this project with you before these three troopers start yellowing, too...which is a serious pain in the neck...I will mail Hasbro and address this issue in the next weeks. I will ask them if they have fixed the problem and use a different material in their 6" line now.
I hope the new figures of TVC and TBS don't have this issue with the sunlight...

I am always excited to see new Clone Troopers!! For Hasbro it would just be a simple repaint for a hot seller! As often: Money on the table! What do you think?

Nice looking Clone. Off to share.

[FialaFernbrugg]

That is a great Clone Trooper custom.
Nice and simple.

[Darth More]

Thank you Shawn and Christoph,

I am back with more time now! Stay tuned for more custom projects soon!

[Darth More]

During Christmas time I took some pictures I wanted to take since Hasbro's Black Series 6" line was released. I don't know where to post them, though. Wasn't there a topic for posts other than Star Wars? Well, this is not custom made and only semi-Star Wars...

Back in 2001-2005 ToyBiz and NECA produced these awesome 6" figures of the Lord of the Rings trilogy. I loved collecting them! They were really affordable back then: I think they retailed for only $5.99 in the U.S. and for 12,99€ here in Germany. I got all of them loose and used, though! I paid 4-25€ for each of them.

When Hasbro announced their TBS6 line I was really surprised and happy to see Star Wars figures in this Action Figure format! Although I decided to stay by the 3 3/4" line and not collect the 6" line, I got a few 6" figures loose as comparison and for these pics:

For all of you who are a fan of Star Wars and Lord of the Rings!
Imagine these guys would meet each other! Who you think would win the fight?

[Tamer]

That would sure be an epic battle. Man those LOTR Figures look great. I sure wish I had gotten into them at the time. It was really the glory years for AFs.

[Foxtrot Delta]

Nice job on the clones, its the simple things that make a big difference
