With so little articulation, Maul doesn't stand a chance! Those Jawas and droid need to be a 3 pack and on shelves so we can start building Jawa bazaars.

haha!

Two new figures.  One from me and the other from Elias

They look good. Off to share.

Holy crap DD who would have thought an Ewok could look so awesome and the Calamari crewman is fantastic especially his skin/shell just WOW.

Ron

[darthdaddy]

Thanks Ron.  Although I don't fel like I can take a whole lot of credit for either.  The Ewok success was mostly due to Kevin's awesome head sculpt and the Calamari was all Elias.

Even my latest I can't take much credit for since all I did was drill a head and sew a robe.

"REEGESK" created by Darth Daddy
Reegesk was a Ranat scavenger and experienced thief from Aralia, known as a fair trader. He regularly traded with Jawas such as Het Nkik. Reegesk was not picky, and was willing to steal anything, even trash. His tribe needed power for their bootleg vaporator unit, so he went into Mos Eisley to look for a power source. He attempted to trade a Sand People battle idol to Nkik in Chalmun's Spaceport Cantina, during which he quietly stole the power source of Nkik's BlasTech Industries DL-44 for use with his tribe's vaporator, leading to the death of Nkik, not knowing his gun had no power during a shootout with stormtroopers.

In all honesty, this figure took me about 30 minutes to make.  Exactly as long as it took me to drill the Evergrey headcast, place it on the body I had in fodder, and sew the soft good robe shut. In less than hour I was able to add another desired character to our Cantina display.

Looks good Brian, off to share.

This was actually a really easy custom to produce.  Once you get past separating the upper torso of The Black Series Finn figure along the seams to free up both the arms, all you have to do is drill the shoulder sockets of The Black Series Cassian Andor figure to accept them.  Switch the jackets, hands, and remove the holster and then paint the pants and boots before laying The Black Series Poe Dameron head on top of the Cassian Andor body.  Oh yeah we also used a Dremel to hard sculpt the flap of the Cassian Andor shirt to make it look like Poe's. After all that was completed, all that was left to do was the neckline a little lower and add a brown wash to the jacket to wrap things up.

Looks good. I will be off to share them in the right places.

Nice kitbashing on the Poe Dameron figure.  I should take advantage of the clearance price.
I hope Hasbro sees your Death Star Commander.

[hemble]

You boys, always do great work on your articulated figures and your kit bashed figures. Excellent work as always boys and keep them coming.

Can't thank you all enough. The action figure posted below was one that I recently made for the YouTube show I do with Peak-OB1 Custom Creations called "Customizing The Clone Wars". We are covering "The Citadel" arc of The Clone Wars TV series and I thought it would be fun though to create the villain from the episodes, the warden of the prison Osi Sobeck.
