💯 I'll choose interchangeable over removable almost every time. (Skiff Lando, Leia Bouush both seem to work well as removable.)

Great paint app BTW. The stripe is a lot straighter than i would do. An interchangeable boushh leia head would probably be awesome though. But yeah, it works with some figures a lot better than others. Stormtrooper luke/han isn't bad. I think the problem might be with ease of use. It takes a little force and finesse, especially with barbell neck, to pop a head, maybe not for newcomers or kids. That's my only rationale.  Honestly I don't like the barbell neck, i pull a head and if the barbell is stuck in the head I have to get pliers to pull it out, sometimes marring the bottom ball.

I totally agree with JDeck. It looks considerably better than the one that was included with the figure. And I too prefer interchangeable heads most of the time. I like the ball joint, not the barbell, which seems really unnecessary.

Oh yeah, a lot nicer. Off to share.

I also agree with the sentiment that with the prices we are paying now they could include a head and then a new bucket that works.

With them laying off workers, jacking up the prices, and then getting rid of the plastic window in the packaging I am thinking things are getting dire over at the Big H.

Lark and Jonk, aka The Twins, from the Solo movie! 3d print from Moff Glideon's Customs.

Currently my favorite custom, but wait until you see what's on the workbench!!

Don, this is one fine model! I wonder if it was sculpted before it was scanned or designed digitally from the bottom up. So much fantastic stuff out of printers lately. Where will we even be 5 years from now? Your favorite custom? I think that's absolutely justified! Even more excitement on the workbench? Well, I'm thrilled!

Really nice paint job on this one. I like the sabacc cards as well.  Its a cool figure, Moff Glideon does some really nice work. Could the next guy be Glaucus?

I really like how you nail the aesthetic of alien flesh with your paint apps. Killer!  0/
