Wow I don't know where to start, those are all so creative and cool. I particularly like the clone executioner, fun idea. The docking bay scene of all the imperial crew maintaining the bomber is also really cool, lots of cool stuff going on there.
The exploits of my life are less canonical than they are legendary.

Thanks so much guys! Glad you're all liking the figures! Also glad you are liking the portraits (those that requested them)! I've got another photo shoot in the works and even a Star Wars take on Marvel's Animen and the Manimals--an all alien Imperial unit I call "Alien Legion".

@Crow well it was either darker skin or a Biggs head with pasty white skin and a moustache or another head that was clean shaven and looked far too much like Mr. Sulu lol.

Here's the part lists for those that want them:

Onam Trass:

AT-RT driver helmet: AT-RT Driver (The Vintage Collection)
Shoulder Armor: Mandalore (The Fett Legacy 3 pack)
2 D H -17 blasters: (1 from The Vintage Collection Leia in Hoth gear and 1 from Hobbie Klivan Rebel Pilot Legacy Pack)
1 hose from a rebel pilot
Llats Ward head and body (Mandalorians and Clones pack)
Montross' cape (Legacy collection EE exclusive comic pack)
Jodo Kast's Jet pack (K-mart Exclusive)

Otaka Shimalla:

Snow Trooper head (Saga Legends Snow Trooper)
Jango Fett's head set (The Fett legacy pack)
DL-44 (can't remember what it's from)
Willrow Hood's body and hands (Legacy Collection)
Biggs Darklighter's cape (30th anniversary)
Vilmarh Grahrk's bandoleer (Comic pack)
Griz Frix's helmet (Battle over Endor pilot packs Toys'Rus Exclusive)

More coming soon!

Hey Yarders,

I'm on the lookout for some talented individuals to be regular contributors to the AFE Blog! Let me know if you would like to see your work up on the blog regularly (weekly or monthly). I'd love to feature your art, photography, figure reviews, writing, comics, videos and more! If you'd like to have your content featured let me know and I'll tell you how to submit it!

This is a great way to get your work out there and grow your fan base and to help us grow here at AFE into a well rounded publication with some more juicy content!

I can't wait to see your creativity! This offer is open to everyone and anyone who is interested.

The only requirement is that your content be Star Wars related.

Thanks!

Hey AFE,  I think thats a great offer. 
You know that you can always pic some of my works you like and feature it on your page, of course you are not limited to my AFE posters ;) but I cannot deliver on a regulary base, thats just impossible for me to do.

Of course Art! I plan to feature as much of your work as possible. Don't worry about irregularity, that makes it even more special ;)

Pretty much looking for some people who'd like to write a review each week or month, or who want to do a running serial, like a comic, or video series. Even a weekly photo shoot.

I'm open to any ideas :)

DUDE!  Doc Dynamite is, well, DY-NO-MITE!!  ;D  My son says he looks spot on for me.  Is that the ROTS Young Owen Lars head with POC Baroness glasses on an otherwise unmodified new Rebel Commando?  (If the body is modified, you have NAILED a "fresh from the pkg" look on it!)

And hey - if he can't tote a G-36, toting a FN-SCAR is the next best thing!  ;D

And the exe-clone-tioner was hysterical, too!

Awesome! Glad you guys like Doc Dynamite! That is in fact a Hoth Rebel Trooper head, and not young Owen Lars, though good guess! Yes and they are Baroness's sunglasses! I really wanted to give him a "modern warfare" look. Yes the body was pretty much unmodified except I switched out his standard pack for TVC Dengar's backpack. I liked the look of the gear strapped to it. Glad you like the FN-SCAR! That comes from my Crysis Nomad figure (loooove those games!) Also glad you like the Exe-clone-tioner. I just had to do it :)

Well so I acquired some new mini-photo lights (early birthday present) and decided to put them to use in this latest update. I finished and shot all of the Alien Legion customs and they're going to be posted eventually. In the mean time I decided to work on a project i have on the back burner and that's a new Star Wars story to be told through text and photographs using all new Star Wars characters created from pieces of existing Star Wars action figures. While not all the characters from the upcoming series have been developed and created and photographed I have most of the main cast created and photographed for a never before seen sneak peak right here on ISY!

The working title for the story is Star Wars: New Saga, as it is a new Star Wars Saga taking place during the events of the Original Trilogy or right after, though not involving any events depicted in the films. The first of three installments: A Chrysalis Opens begins with our hero Kallyn Marx coming to on the deck of a freighter. Kallyn is unaware of how he arrived there, what freighter he's on, who he is other than his name, and what happened before he hit the deck. The freighter's crew members don't know him and are suspicious at first, but eventually they band together and help Kallyn to piece together his past all the while getting into misadventures. There is an evil Sith sorceress in league with the Empire hunting them with the aid of an Imperial commander, a smuggler king and his henchmen, a Rebel Alliance Ambassador and her body guard/pilot, some Jedi, a Gamorrean sidekick, some droids, and plenty of action! Did i mention the freighter is called the Jade Fossil? The ship that Kallyn wakes up on has a checkered past, an awesome crew, and a worn green paint job!

The story will be posted in its text form on the AFE blog coming soon! Definitely tune in to read the adventures!

From the crew of The Jade Fossil:

OX-1, a unique assassin droid assembled from salvaged protocol droid pieces, battle droid limbs, with a clone trooper helmet engineered into his cranial processor unit--its head. OX-1 or "Ox" is one of the crew members aboard The Jade Fossil and becomes Kallyn's bodyguard.

Definitely one of my all time favorite customs that I've created!
