Been a while since I customized anything, but had an idea for a wee little project.
Yoda
I figured I’d give expanding the Black Series another go. I’m sure Yoda will be in the line at some point if it survives, but I kind of assume we’ll be getting a prequel version instead of an ESB version, so I thought that making one based on the look of the puppet would be my best bet.
This is 100% scratch made. I used some metal wire for the armature, sculpted the head with Aves, and made his hands and feet with plumbers epoxy. I bulked out the body with aluminum foil and wrapped it in duct tape, and dressed him in the same fabrics I used for my live sized Yoda, then coated them in glue. The wire body means that he can be posed in a few limited ways.
He stands about 2 ¾ “ in height, and looks pretty good in terms of scale (at least to my eyes) to the 6” Black Series figures.
I’d love to tackle his hut at some point.
Let me know what you think and thanks for looking.
