Here's my custom X-wing pilot Leia inspired by some comic book appeareances. Used a TVC Hoth Leia. Boots are from a Rebels Kanan. Vest was cut off and ground down from another Xwing pilot, along with the leg flares and gauntlets. Harness was made from ribbon.

Wow, she looks great as a pilot. What ships did she pilot? That gal needs a custom X-Wing.

Custom Agent Kallus

With the helmet, the 5 POA headsculpt can pass for realistic. The body was a TVC Imp Navy Commander. Details were sculpted on.

Nice figs.  The Pilot Leia is my favorite.  Very clean, very cool work.

These are really great! The droid is well done, hollowing out the pilot vest and armor, i know is tedious. They look great

custom EV-9D9

Sadly, we haven't had a new EV-9D9 since the POTF2 line. One of the first customs I made was an EV that could sit down. I had to get two of them as there needed to be an overlap at the elbows and knees. I used cut off small nails as pins for the hinges. The complex part was that the hip plate limited the hip swivel to about 45 degrees. I used a chunk of plastic glued to the cut off hip plate and fastened a tiny rubber band through the body and mounted around a part on the back. This allows the hip plate to push away from the body when the legs need greater travel.
more pics in the next post.

hip plate gimmick. A little difficult to see in second pic but there's a cylinder there that the rubber band attaches to.

Man this is just sheer genius! Thanks for sharing it with us.

Man, hard to believe we haven't had a new version of this in that long.

Super nice job of these. I love the work you did on EV-9D9, very creative design solutions. Leia is a great figure, my favorite of the group.

Here's a few simple customs involving mostly head swaps and minimal modifications

Armand Isard - body is Mosep Bineed. To be honest not sure where the head was from. I think I took it from a Imperial officer I got in a lot purchase. For all I know the previous owner did a head swap. LOL

Governor Pryce - Deena Shan body. Indiana Jones villain head (don't remember her name)

Finn (Stormtrooper)

Mara Jade - Black Widow head from a TRU exclusive figure.

Great update. I did the same thing with Mara Jade. I do like it when the parts come together for a legitimately good custom pretty easily.
