So I accepted L.E.'s challenge and I sculpted legs onto the Gran Jedi youngling.  I also added Neomodian and Avozse Jedi younglings to Elias' collection over the weekend.  Also in our latest post over at the blog is an old Quermian Jedi youngling that we bought on ebay, but was damaged in shipping.  We included pictures of the repaired Jedi youngling in the post as well.

So I'm not sure if you've noticed but I've been working on a Jedi Temple that's posted on here and I was wondering if you'd be able to make me a set of Jedi Younglings, more specifically the ones from AOTC. I've made the veranda training room and I would like to add them in of Yoda training them. I did order a few of the actual figures, but they didn't offer much in this line, or in the way of sub figures that we're main characters.

Thanks,
Ryan

Nice one Brian. She is now dancing on the front page.

She looks like she would be right at home in Jabba's Palace.

Very nice job putting her together!  That is one interesting-looking "woman"...the question is: does she get many dates?  I'm thinking negatory on that one.

Great job, especially on the sculpted facial hair!


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

LOL. Jay you got me rolling with this one. Still, I do agree this was a great custom addition to the dancer gals.

Thanks guys!  When I started putting this one together, Elias shot me a lot of questioning looks. Especially before I started to sculpt her. 

The whole time I was making her I started thinking to myself who is going to want to see her dance?  The only answer I could settle on was another Aqualish. 

Really glad she's finished now.  Another WIP off the shelf. Too many of those these days. 

I'm hoping to eliminate as many lingering projects as I can, but instead I keep getting distracted with spontaneous projects like the Jedi younglings. 

The life of a customizer.  Got to love it!

BROTHERS

Dad threw these two action figures together in seconds after watching the season finale of Clone Wars Season 4. He used the head from an extra Vintage Darth Maul we had on the Infinities Maul from the exclusive comic pack. No modification was needed on the head and it can help you all through the wait until a proper release is issued later this year. Since the body was the only one we had, Dad stopped short of doing anything else to the figure.

Dad also cut the horn on the head of an extra Savage Opress that we had so he looked like he did in the latest story arc.

Darth Maul & Savage Opress




If you were wondering if it were possible to do a head swap the answer is yes. It's a little snug, but with a minimal amount of Force it fits. No tooling needed.
