Here's my custom Probe Droid. I made this prior to the updated Hasbro one so it was built off the POTF2 one. I used 2 of them. I needed to cut off two "eyes" from one and add those over to the primary. I added an LED light. The trickiest part was adding articulation to the legs. I didn't bother with the short ones but I did on the others. Even the pistons work on those. THAT was a bit of a pain. LOL  After I made this, the next year I think is when the newer version came out. Go figure.

Man this is nice, much better than any version I think Hasbro has made. Nice electronics and arty legs too. Man, I bet that was tedious.

That is inspired! What great attention to detail with the pistons. Even with the new Hasbro version, you're upgrades "take the cake."

I like the incorporation of the glowing bits. Those definitely make droids feel more alive for sure!  0/

Super cool articulation work with those working pistons
   The light addition was perfect
I’m surprised we don’t see more lit up droid customs

Another custom I did within a year of getting an official one. This is my Dr Aphra with BT. I later was able to get a black protocol droid (I think a Disney one) and just paint the eyes. Recipe: comic pack Bultar Swan torso, arms, and head. Juno Eclipse waist and legs. The cap was modded from a Tycho Celchu cap and had to mod the hair as well. Han Solo holster and blaster. The jacket was sculpted. I actually prefer this outfit and jacket over the one they gave us. For BT I used a black R5 droid and modded the face. The eye is an actually LED, but it's not wired. Simply the right shape and size. The weapons were kit bashed parts.

"Behind the scenes" customs. The C-3PO one I've seen done before. I think it was actually the first custom I ever did. Yeah, he should have the balaclava on but I was starting off simple. The droid head is lightly glued on so he can actually hold it. The next custom I did just because The Jar Jar head as a hat always made me laugh.

Awesome, I really like the Anthony Daniels one. I really wish they would do helmetless versions of the people that played the part. I would love a Jeremy Bulloch Boba.

I have always wanted to do that for Anthony Daniels.
🤩
I have to dig up that head piece.

I suggested a tribute set to Hasbro in a Q&A a long time ago. 
Put all the masked characters together with unmasked heads.
They weren’t impressed w the idea.  😒
