As I said on Facebook Brian: i want one!!!! Brilliant work! This is my fav of all your work to date as well!
Update: On the FP!

If that casting roundtable goes well, maybe I can mass produce her. ;)

I love the sound of that and I agree with Chad. This one needs to be made in the thousands. I can already see the diorama possibilities with this one too in regards to two of our favorite Clonetroopers. Brilliant work Brian.

Brian, this is an instant favorite! As Remco said that episode was so great and you have really captured the character with your sculpt. I the the style mix and think she is just perfect! You have entered a larger world my friend, the possibilities are now endless.

Beautiful work, as usual with your customs. What do you do with all of these when they're complete?


Thanks. All my customs get added to my son's collection.

I'm really thankful for all the great feedback that was provided.  Hopefully it wasn't just beginners luck.  If I can get the hang of casting at some point, I'm going to try and cast the head and torso for everybody.

So I haven't been doing anything fancy lately.  The last few projects I tackled were just busy work.  Little modifications to existing figures or simple head swaps to create action figures we really wanted.

CAPTAIN REX and COMMANDER WOLFFE
created by Darth Daddy










I saw some really stellar versions of these characters given the same treatment by other customizers that were a lot more impressive, but I just went for the quick fix on these two so I could work on some more pressing projects that I was enjoying more.

QUI GON JIN & OBI WAN KENOBI
by Darth Daddy



We really liked the new head sculpts on the light up lightsaber Qui Gon Jinn and Obi Wan Kenobi so we did a head swap with them so we could use them on my Vintage figures instead.

HONDO OHNAKA's PIRATE GANG
created by Peakob1 & Darth Daddy

I also started working on a project with customizer Peakob1.  We are currently building Elias a pirate gang for Hondo Ohnaka if anyone wants to check out what we have going so far.  It's really pic heavy so it's better to go to the blog itself.

Oh, very cool!!!
I am so happy to see that the light-up Qui-Gon's head fits onto the VC Jinn's body! Now I'll have to look for that light-up figure when I get a chance! :)

HONDO OHNAKA's PIRATE GANG
created by Peakob1 & Darth Daddy

For those of you who don't already know, I am currently working on a project with some help I commissioned from customizer Peakob1. We are both currently building Elias action figures of Hondo Ohnaka's pirate gang.

I just finshed Finn Tegotash and I'm still deciding if Peg Leg Piit is completed or not. Here are two teaser pics, but I suggest hitting the blog for all the other pics.

This post's really pic heavy so it's better to go to the blog itself rather than me have to post all the pics here.

The new Obi Wan headsculpt looks great on the AotC body; gonna have to try that for myself...

Props for Peg Leg Piit: excellently done.  Looks exactly like the reference image.

Light side, dark side...meh.  Just give me a lightsaber and a blaster and I'll take care of it!
