Hi guys, I'm really excited right now, because I have now completed
all of the Knights of the Old Republic videogame crew members/companions in action figure form. You can expect group pics of them all tomorrow!
Tomorrow, I'm going to post
Juhani, the last crew member, but for today, I'm going to post another companion:
Canderous Ordo- UPDATE: Yes, he's wearing pants. I've changed the color now to a more yellow. Oddly enough, the pics make it look more yellow than the actual figure is.
- This figure marks another step into my journey as a customizer; he utilizes body parts from different figures. (excluding the head) I bought a head cast from Clonehead, but when it came, I found that the head was disproportionate from the body (of no fault to Lucasclones). I had to cut down the neck and the surrounding muscle until it looked proportionate. Originally, I was going to use the entire "The Rock" body, but when I finished, I realized he was way too tall. Oddly enough, I'd recently bought a loose Captain America for about 3USD, and I measured up the legs with Canderous, it was a perfect fit! But how would I transfer legs from a Marvel figure to a GI Joe figure? I ended up taking a power saw (careful guys!) and cut both figures in half from the belt down, then glued Capt. America's lower body to the Rock's upper body. It worked like a charm, and the legs still worked perfectly! And I think we all know about the horrible hand that comes with the GI Joe Retaliation Roadblock. I ended up switching it with an old Obi-Wan hand. And here's the finished product.
- Notice the scarring on his face. I tried to match it up as closely with the game Canderous as possible.
- Notice the tattoo and "hairy" arms...
