Ok folks I am gonna end this auction for the dvd and send Hollie the deniro.

I actually have a mail away Fett to go next thanks to LucasClones, but I was made aware this weekend of a custom ebay auction for the same cause made by Incom. I think it would great for us to support this so I will get our next auction for Chad's great donation up after that auction is over.

Here are some pics and link for the Ebay Auction from Incom:

Custom Twi'lek Smuggler by INCOM Customs






This just looks outstanding to me. Most of us know Incom's work though. I must admit I have already bid multiple times. I love this type of war!

I was also made aware today of a Marvel Custom called Danger that is up for auction on Ebay too. Here are some pics and the link for this auction from a customizer called Paul Speedless:

Custom Marvel Danger by Speedless Customs








I think this is just a marvel, no pun intended, but after researching some images of this particular Marvel Character the likeness is just uncanny. I also found this banner on said auction and thought it would be appropriate to place here. It sure makes me wish I had had more time to get to know him, but I am proud to be a part of a community that is rallying to said tragedy.

MANDALORIAN SITH



Taken from the blog:

"When Luke Sprywalker announced the Custom Sith Competition over at Imperial Shipyards this month, Dad felt it was the perfect time to pay tribute to Mike Martinez of Mercury Art Studios.  Dad will be donating his MANDALORIAN SITH entry the Mercury Art Studios Auction and the proceeds will be given to the family of Mike Martinez. Mike always created the coolest and most unique Sith custom action figures. He is known in our house as the Sith master. Dad thought of Mike when he created this action figure and tried to create a Sith custom action figure that he never saw anyone make before. Dad created this action figure from the old (head) and the new Jodo Kast action figures (forearms), a Boba Fett torso, and a Lord Maleval (everything else). He removed the chest armor from the Boba Fett and dremmeled the torso until the chest and abdomen were only as thin as the armor. He then dremmeled the front chest and abdomen of the Lord Maleval action figure and then fused Boba Fett's chest armor to the Lord Maleval with Apoxie Sculpt. Then Dad painted the action figure in colors that he saw in a Mandalorian Sith drawing that some new friends showed him on The Forcebook.

If you are interested in owning this figure, look below for the link where you will be able to bid on this action figure on ebay. Dad is going to start the bidding high so Mike's family gets the assistance they need. Dad worked about ten hours on this action figure, so whoever wins it will definitely be getting their moneys worth. Not only will the buyer be getting one cool toy, but the money will be used for a good cause.

Best of luck everyone!!"

ISY is proud to support this great auction on behalf of Darth Daddy and Elias!

This is just great, guys! The [ur=http://cgi.ebay.nl/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=280719959884&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:ITl]Twi'lek smuggler[/url] auction is only a couple of hours away from closing and it's at $70+. I'm very proud of that, because never have I made a custom reaching such high bids, but I'm even more proud to see such an amount go to a great cause. Thanks to Tamer and any other Yarders who placed a bid on this figure!

I know Speedleescustoms from ProCustomizers. He does amazing work and has inspired me to make a Legends Wolverine, my first steps in customizing Marvel Legends figures.

I saw that it went for over $70 dollars and was glad to help it reach those heights. I hope we can do so for all of those auctions!

No bids yet? :'(

How about this? I will pay for shipping within the continental US and try to help defer costs outside it.
