Oh nice! Mara's looking nice, I think I'll probably have to make one myself because even if Hasbro releases the one they have ready in the Black Series, it's EU so it's probably gonna be no where to be found and have a $50 price on eBay and Amazon. The head and body on the mara are very fitting, and I was looking for a use for those Tron figures, my Dollar General has about 20 or so of these figures, I might have to pick some up soon.

I picked up a few in a local pound store,£1 each for clu,Quorra and a black guard.
13 points of articulation plus swivel hip joints.......can't be bad eh ;)

I think after reading that about likely silly prices for a new mara I'll add a new listing notification to my eBay just in case a cheap one pops up when released.
As for amazon.........that just a crazy place for dumbass prices.

Your Jaina Solo is awesome! Very nice parts selection and great idea in the sleeves and padded part with the chest box!

Thanks spry,glad ya like it....good to hear from you,been a while.

eBay prices were shocking for the standard legacy one,had to make this......way better. Despite the tricky work,had fun making her.
Chest piece was a bit harder than originally planned,I half expected the donor pilot to be like a typical hasbro figure with a hollow body cavity but it was solid plastic. Ripped the guts out of it with a dremel and various tips,mainly an 8mm barrel sander.

Next up.....should get mara jade finished shortly.
Found a spare set of sandstorm Luke/Han goggles,a nice gun belt from a Mcquarrie concept Luke,a Windu removable purple blade,need to find a nice looking hilt for it.

Thank god for this site and the art of customising action figures,sure takes the mind off things........we're back in business ;D

Wow, that Mara turned out great.

Yer a diamond,I may aswell enjoy my customising while it lasts.......might not be alive after the babysitting duties are done.

I might've inadvertently got the wife's mates little one hooked,she's still fascinated by the Legacy falcon and jabbas palace Dio

Started filling up a tub of spare figures to get her going.........Oooooooooooops  ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

great looking Jaina and Mara.. I am also a fan of the Kotobukiya Jaina figure and it inspire me to make my own.. Nice choice of sculpt by the way.

Thanks for share the wip of pics of Mara Jade.. I always like to see what the custom start off if.

Had to get your little gal pic on the front page. I showed it to my little gal and told her we had some serious catching up to do.
