So here at home, we're still busy with the "Smuggler's Gambit" Custom Action Figure Contest that we are promoting with RebelForce Radio.  We have already received some really cool entires and we're hoping with the extended deadline of May 1st, 2013, that even more awesomeness is still on its way.  For any of you who listened to the radio drama you know that Han Solo and Chewbacca visited a village and bar while on Abrossos VI.  That means participants can enter the contest with a cantina alien custom action figure, or just an ordinary citizen that Han Solo and Chewbacca passed on their way to the local bar.  A miner that lives in the settlements on the planet.

Notice that nowhere in the rules does the contest say that it has to be a "brand new" custom.  If you made a custom years ago that you feel can fit within the "Smuggler's Gambit"story just enter it.  It only takes a few seconds to email a few pictures.  Especially if you have already photographed it.

I love this Rodian girl that I created because she can be comfortable fitting into a lot of Star Wars dioramas.  She fits in a Tatooine street scene, as a dancer for Jabba or some other Hutt.   She looks great in a cantina scene too.  Heck if you threw a Jedi robe on her and put a lightsaber in her hand she can be a Jedi.  Do you have any customs like these that you'd like to submit to the contest?  Let's see what you've made.  Send us an entry!

THANKS!!!!

[Luke Sprywalker]

Great addition to the Smugglers Gambit contest. Now that you have pointed out that it can be an older custom I could see more people getting in on this really easily! This is a great looking figure!

[Tamer]

Elias that one would be good under the convention area. I can move this post if you would like and then do a fper on it.

Ok.

On Sunday, April 7, 2013, Customs for the Kid brought their traveling museum of Star Wars custom action figures to the Star Wars Spectacular event in Woodbridge, NJ. Attendees were treated to an exhibition of Star Wars custom action figures created by talented customizing artists such as: Stronox, Sillof, Luke Sprywalker, Chewie, Wraithnine, Hangarbay94, Peakob1, SithHappens, Omar Rivera, Incom aka Mr. Black's Customs, Lucasclones, Stocos28, JACKOFTRADZE, Darth Daddy, Elias, and more. The display table stayed pretty packed throughout the day and brought attention to the blog's online museum of Star Wars custom action figures and the featured artists. Also on display were video tutorials that are featured on our blog as well as the entertaining Youtube cult classic show Kessel Run Review. We were really impressed with the crowd turnout, and loved the reaction of all the attendees to what we had on display. Hopefully we will get to take the show on the road again sometime soon.








Here's the link to all the video of the Star Wars custom action figure art on display:

Cool deal. Gonna go check to see if that post is in the convention thread we started. I bet this was great fun.

[Luke Sprywalker]

Awesome stuff Brian and Elias! I wish there was stuff like this in our area.
