I love that Echo Base Female. Kinda hoping Disney will encourage Hasbro to make more of these obscure type of character. Fingers crossed anyway.

Nice update though, on the front page.

Thanks for the front page props!! Yeah, I'm really hoping that Disney is a major improvement to what Hasbro has been doing. My son is going to Disney over Thanksgiving week. I've already instructed him that I want some Disney B.A.D. figures as my "gift."

They all look great, that Echo Base female is really nice. I like the Twi'lek female, and I agree the POTF 2 Oola is a good sculpt, and I love the soft goods on her! Very awesome ewoks as well!

I was just looking through my thread and I realized I haven't posted a picture of this custom yet.



This was my first commission. I had previously made a "vintage-esque" Power Droid, and a fellow customizer on Rebelscum sent me a Hoth Echo base GNK droid to paint for him.

Here is a picture of the stock GNK droid, my (first) custom "Vintage" Power Droid, commission Power Droid, and Hoth Echo GNK droid.

Love it! I want to give the new Gonk Droid sculpt this treatment. I really can't believe Hasbro has not put this deco on a single carded VTC offering.

Thanks guys!! LE I'd also like to paint the new GNK droid to look more vintage, but given the price I paid for that 3pk just to get the GNK droid, I'll either wait for Hasbro's version (which Stan has rumored at for 2013!) or see if I can find another one cheap on ebay.

Commander Kurgan and I got into the “Secret Santa” list kind of late. So, our “secret” wasn’t so much WHO “Santa” was, but WHAT “Santa” was sending. Since we live on opposite sides of the globe, and neither of us have received our gifts yet; we have decided to post pics of our “Secret Santa” customs.

I didn’t take in “work in progress” photos so if Volker doesn’t want to see his “Secret Santa” gift then NOW IS HIS TIME TO HIT THE BACK BUTTON! LOL!!

Here is a shot of “Kenner Fett” on a vintage card. Did not send the card to Germany, the back side of it looks terrible.

Right side comparison photo


Parts list


Still retains almost all articulation

I recently looked at Volker’s customs and saw that he does some Mandalorian customs. So, hopefully he will find a place for this custom or at least he’ll have some Mandalorian fodder!
