This was a custom done on commission/trade for a 6" boba fett (stay tuned for more on that later)...
The client provided me with the base figure, and the spare figure to chop up for armor parts, as well as the lightsabers and one gaffi stick.... and I provided the work and all other accessories.
The goal? To re-create this:
http://www.sideshowtoy.com/collectibles/star-wars-ben-kenobi-mythos-sideshow-collectibles-200108/and... my version (well, the client's version) in 1:18th scale, with bonus features!
bonus features...? well, pretty much everything on the backpack is removable and can be posed with the super-articulated figure (for once the source figure was super articulated and all I had to do was paint him! woohoo!)
The armor's neck hole fits onto a black peg that is on top of the backpack to secure it in place without having to use strings to tie it down... that helps be able to remove it easily.
The only things not removable? The bed roll and the two extra light saber hilts. technically the hilts could be removed if you untied the string holding them on... I used a metal loop to push the string through to let them hang freely instead of glueing them onto something, so technically they could be removed.
extra sweet cool feature? The armor can be removed from the pack and fitted onto the figure!
still in the works is an "old ben" head sculpt being sent my way to give this figure an alternative head sculpt. The one thing I forgot to add to the backpack; A rope with tiny grapling hook... I'll probably go back and fix that before sending it off to the client.
So, what do you guys think? meet the source material pretty good?
