That's a great quick custom.

Nice work mate.

Thank you guys! The second Bodhi was simple and easy...But it was fun to throw together, given its obscurity in the film.

One figure that I have always wanted from the abysmal Force Awakens movie is Han Solo. Despite not enjoying the movie, Han Solo still serves as my favorite character, and it just made sense for a figure like this to be produced in the 3.75 TBS or TVC line. It has been several years since the film was released, so I thought it was about time that I made my own...

Again, not having a plan when I started, I took several figures apart trying to decide what the best/easiest way to make a mostly screen accurate TFA Han Solo would be. Eventually, I ended up with the following combination:

3.75 TBS Han Solo Head, Holster, and Lower Legs
Sandstorm Han Solo Torso, arms, and Upper Legs
TFA 5 POA Han Solo Jacket
[Everything but his face (stupid wonky eyes) was repainted]

The Force Awakens SA 3.75 Han Solo

So true on the postquels in general for me too. Still that is one nice Han. Off to share him.

[Jodo]

Thank you sir!!! I'd probably do more TFA customs, but I have no desire to see those characters in figure from. I have parts for a simple one that I will do soon, but it's only because I already had the stuff to make it.

Another Rogue One figure that I wanted, which had/has little to no chance of ever being produced is Galen Erso on Lah’mu. I really love this scene, and the feeling of approaching dread that comes with. Overall, it’s a simple costume for a simple life…Which I can dig.
This figure was a fairly simple one to make. I kind of imagined this figure to be a character that Hasbro could have skimped on a bit, since it doesn’t really “NEED” leg articulation. I ended up using the upper torso of an articulated Luke Skywalker figure, the skirt and legs from a different Luke Skywalker figure (no clue which ones), and the head of the RO Galen Erso figure, which I added a bit of scruff to.

Amazing customs

My internet is really wonky this morning and not letting me see images due to a work firewall.

My home internet was out this morning so I am working from behind already. I will see this soon and get it on the front pages.

I couldn't have put it in better words...actually I didn't even know this adjective in English before...


Anyway your let's say "post ROTJ" Han looks good! That was quite a big kit-bash! What about the Walmart TBS Han Solo from TFA? I'm going to buy this one from tunghori or somewhere else. Or is this one not screen accurate? I would like to make a custom with repainted (dry-brushed) hair and weathered clothes out of this one...

[Darth More]

I'd probably do more TFA customs, but I have no desire to see those characters in figure from.

Same here! I got the Walmart TBS Luke Skywalker (Jedi Master) from tunghori so far and just gave him his green lightsaber from ROTJ - he looks gorgeous like that to me. I'm happy. And the Sequels are na na for me...


Your Galen Erso looks fantastic by the way! Thank you for the recipe, again! I also like all the Death Troopers - great footage!



Tamer: I also got issues with my internet last week. "It appears this has happened everywhere."

I'm glad you got it fixed, again! My WiFi was just out of range.

I think that's EP1 QUI-GON (1st release) legs and a POTF2 FLASHBACK luke skirt? For Galen erso

Been using / staring at the same parts lately since I have soo much fodder.

Great job on all your figures! Definitely inspirational work!

[FialaFernbrugg]

Your Lah'mu Galen Erso is phenomenal.
The three-day stubble looks great.
Excellent work.

[Tamer]

Now I can see the images. He looks great. Off to the front pages.

I don't believe they're Qui-Gon legs, since I had to take two Lukes apart to get them.

Darth More, the TBS 3.75 Han Solo is accurate to his cold weather coat in TFA, but unfortunately they also sculpted his little scarf onto the body, so it ruins the look of the torso under the coat.

Thanks everyone for your comments (and for sharing Tamer)!!!!

Next up is a figure that I have had in mind for quite some time. For once I actually had an idea going into this what I thought would work...These pieces have been set aside since I got them, just waiting to be put together and painted. Again, this is one of my favorite designs and it is just a shame they never produced it in SA 3.75.

The recipe:
5 POA Cass skirt, holster, and fur hood (and alternative head with hat).
SA Cass head
TBS Starkiller torso
Dak Ralter arms
Nikto (Skiff Guard) legs

3.75 SA Cassian Andor (Jedha)

[Tamer]

Jodo that is one great recipe. He looks great. Off to share this one too.

[Starchaser]

Hey Jodo, excellent customs. Erso turned out really well - it was a great idea to use Luke's body for that costume. Cassian and Han also turned out really well. Keep up the good work.
