Hey now there's an idea! Too bad there isn't much in the way of underwater culture in Star Wars action figures aside from the pathetic gungans. No one could take a gungan Mando seriously.

Actually, I could see that as a pretty cool idea.  The Gungans are pretty awkward on land, but they'd make a great aquatic commando force.
I have altered the action figure. Pray I don't alter it further.

I just can't take gungans seriously. I'm sorry. You should do it tho! That'd be cool!

@Tamer: It's an honor! So glad you like them! I want to do a Sando AT-AT Driver at some point.

@JMT: Thanks brother! I'm beyond thrilled you like my custom Sando so much! I'd be happy to make them for anyone who wants one or more :)

@Spuda: Hahaha I totally forgot about Jay Jay Bin! Got exactly what he deserved!

One of the benefits of being home sick is the extra time to make customs. I popped in my favorite vampire movies, Marvel's Blade 1-3 and decided to do my first non-Star Wars custom figure. The Marvel Universe Blade figure is atrocious, so badly done and lacking good articulation, accessories, and good sculpting. So I decided to scratch build a new 3 3/4" Blade figure with as many bells and whistles as I could cram into him. Behold! The Daywalker!

Oh man this is awesome! Love all the details on the weapons and extra goods, where did you get tiny shades?! So badass.

The tiny shades were in a big lot of fodder I  traded for so I have no idea where they're really from. Yeah he's all about the accessories and weapons. This is an amalgamation from the comics, movies, and (terrible) tv show.

Sweet!  Who's head was that?
I have altered the action figure. Pray I don't alter it further.

Thanks Botwt!

As for the head, honestly I couldn't say. Maybe a vintage heavy duty? I found it in my bins of stuff and cut and dremeled it into a modern style ball socket head.
