Topic: Moronarama Custom Figures

[ghostskull18]

No problem, Ghostskull.
The recipe for Lumpy is super simple. Its mostly just a 2004 Vintage Chewbacca.  Take out the forearms and attach the hands to the upper arm socket.  Same thing on the legs, remove the lower legs and put the feet into the empty knee socket.  For the torso, there are 3 section on the figure, and so I pulled one out.  There is a post that runs down the torso that has a ball that fits into a socket at the pelvis and a head post at the top.  I had the take a chunk out of the middle of that and reattach the pieces together in the middle to preserve the head post.  The head is a Playskool Galactic Heroes Chewbacca.  The figure has the traditional bandoleer that is attached in the front and back of the left shoulder into a set of grooves.  I used some all purpose glue to fill those and texture with a clay shaping tool to match the fur.

Very cool i will have to try this if you dont mind!

I've been offline for a while and missed several updates, you have produced a wide variety of really fun characters. Excellent work.

Oleg Ogoss - Human Skiff Guard
Rotan Melange - Zabrak Skiff Guard

Aknot - Mangalor Jedi - A Star Wars/Fifth Element Mashup

[Moronarama]

BTL-5000 - Security Droid
Butlehoit - Gand Thora Jedi - My made up "butthead" race

I always find your work most inspiring! I might be able to actually acquire a couple of your masterpieces and pick them up in the U.S. next year. Out of this update, I like the Samurai Guard and the Rebel Pilots most. I do hope we'll see an update of the ROTS Neimodian Warriors, Guards and Commanders some time in super articulated form.
My favorite name definitely is Heinrich Boarfist!
Great update! Lots of awesome stuff here! Please, keep up the great work!

Great job with another round of really creative customs. I like that Mangalore Jedi a lot, and there are several really clever combinations - the Lovecraft-ian executioner is a one. You are doing a good job of bringing in parts from other lines to expand your pools of available fodder.

Liking that Security Droid a lot, but all are nice. Off to share the update and your auctions.

Thanks, Phillip.  The samurai Imperial Gurad is one of thos simple hea swaps that just look so good.  The Nemodian pilot is the same way, and the bonus is the standard helmet fits.  I would like to see some Nemodians in the next batch.  I've been sorely disappointed in how few aliens they have made in the last few runs, since Force Awakens.  I know part of it is they are putting out fewer figures overall, but its still disappointing. 
And Heinrich just seemed to call out of a good German name

Glad you liked them, Starchaser.  I think I'd like to try the Mangalore again, and sculpt the head myself.  The Reaction head is just not quite right, but I wanted to try it out anyhow.  And I am always on the hunt for parts and trying out different combos.  Sometime, of course,  it's just a matter of working with what I have on hand and seeing what physically fits together

Thank you also, Tamer.  On another feed I follow, someone suggested the Security Droid looked more like a starship painter droid.  I might make another one with bright graffiti style colors.  We'll see.

I'm always a fan of your work. They're unique and funky, in a good way. Out of this group, my favorite is a toss up between the Musca skiff guard, and the ugnaught bounty hunter. They're both pretty rad! Of course they're all cool, but they stick out to me.

[Tamer]

I really like that Hammerhead Jedi too.
