Very nice work again DD. I was hoping to find one of those Joe vehicles at clearance and see what I could do with it. You beat me to it! Great job and also love the female Jedi.

 The G.I. Joe vehicles are great for Star Wars  customs.  I'm sure you could put a slammin' custom together.  I picked this spaceship for the escape pod.  Elias loves escape pods.

Forgot to add this one.  He's on the site too.

Yes, I saw him and like him very much. Not in love with that arm articulation and that and the price is why I never bought any of these. I am kind of kicking myself now, might get lucky and find them at discount stores. He does make a cool Jedi.

On the ship, I didn't even know it came with the escape pod until I saw your pics. I too love escape pods!

I agree the arm articulation isn't the best, but I love the way the legs hold their poses.  They achieve some  angles that look great, and could not be accomplished with the Hasbro line.   I wish I showed those angles in my photos.  Btw love how Jaxxon turned out.  Really rocked that one!!

The female Jedi is very, very easy.  Use the body of a Bultar Swan from the Evolutions 3-pack that came with Qui-Gon and Luke.  The head is from a Dragonball Evolution Movie 4 Inch Action Figure Bulma.  Enjoy!!

Secret Santa: Take 1

So Dad and I recently entered ourselves in the Secret Santa over at Yakface.com. It looked like loads of fun and if any of you customizers haven't been involved, I would definitely recommend doing so in in the future. Dad painted a C-3PO protocol droid with Christmas colors and finished this action figure last week. On Tuesday, we found out who we had to send the figure to and Dad realized that this customizer had an affection for a certain type of figure. So yesterday, in the spirit of Christmas, Dad made a brand new figure that he thinks will fit this customizer's tastes.

I guess that means I get to keep Dad's Christmas droid. An early Christmas for me!

Thanks Jules!

Taken from the blog:

Dad made this custom action figure from the head of a Clone Wars Plo Koon, an Episode 3 Ask Aak, and the feet of an Elis Helrot. Slave trading was big in Star Wars and we realized we didn't have any slave traders in my collection. This Kel Dor Slave Trader was strong in the Force and used his telepathic mind control powers to keep his slaves subservient. He carried his neuronic whip more for show and intimidation, but that doesn't mean he wasn't good with it. His whip was practically an extension of himself.

KEL DOR SLAVE TRADER




Dad made this custom Jedi last week. This Jedi is a amphibious humanoid that was taken by the Jedi from a remote planet that had never had been exposed to outsiders. Shortly after he was taken to be trained at the Jedi Temple, his planet was destroyed and he is now known to be the last of his kind.

His head was constructed from Mace Windu and the head decoration was made with a Stass Allie head. The body was an Obi Wan Kenobi, but most of the character's uniqueness comes from Dad's cool paint application.



JEDI
