Dad has been wanting to create a Ziro the Hutt action figure for me for a long time now. He had a CW Jabba the Hutt sitting in the corner of the kitchen for a few months now and this weekend he finally got started on the project. The custom is only a simple repaint and we suggest that anyone who wants to make a Ziro, to get a hold of the CW Jabba the Hutt while you still can. They Jabba toy is starting to go for a lot of money on ebay and you want to grab one before it goes out of your price range. Hasbro recently announced that they will not be making Ziro as an action figure so this is the only way you will be able to obtain the first villain of the Clone Wars television series.

Dad is in the process of sculpting Ziro's removable headdress and jewelry. When the process is completed we'll update this post.

Both the headdress and jewelry are removable.

Brian, that just looks fantastic. Why in the world Hasbro wouldn't make one of these is beyond me, but you nailed it beautifully.

Same thing happened to me when I saw the one Peakob1 made.  One look and I knew I had to make one.
