Elias will definitely appreciate hearing that even if he's too humble to believe it.

This weekend we celebrated the New Year by updating the photo banner for the blog.

It may be my favorite one so far.

Your sculpting work as father and son duo is astounding. I'm in awe and definitely don't have the skills to do that. I can paint faces, but that's as far as I go. Haha.

The banner looks great! Beautiful job on Satine. You've captured her animated look exquisitely. The paint applications are amazing as usual. She's a phenomenal composition.

Thank you for the kind words!

This is just a quick custom that can be made in less than a minute as long as your hot glue gun is already warmed up.

Brilliant! I wish Hasbro would give us the option by including a second head for the animated version. I wonder if we will ever see a 3.75" action figure line besides TVC with more than 5POA...Mando was the perfect occasion to bring it back, but the lines for the Sequels and SOLO did too much damage to the toy line and franchise I guess.

I'm looking forward to seeing what you create this year, gentlemen!

Man, adding that animated head makes it so TCW! Nice.

Off to share on the front pages.

Its kinda sad that we didn't get a TCW Line with the last iteration of The Clone Wars. Thanks for keeping it alive Brian and Elias!

PURCHASE A "MARROK" FLEXIBLE RESIN CAST from REBEL KID CREATIONS!!!
Marrok was an Anooba owned by the bounty hunter Embo. Marrok was featured prominently in The Clone Wars episodes "Bounty", "Revenge", as well as in the new Clovis arc just released in Season 6 of The Clone Wars on Netflix. Dad really wanted to add this cool Star Wars creature to our collection since Embo's companion Marrok took part in a lot of the action filled scenes that he starred in. Dad always had an interest in creating some of the creatures of Star Wars and always wanted to make the jump from Star Wars characters to their less sentient companions. Marrok would have been an awesome addition to The Clone Wars toy line if he was included as a pack in with a regarding of Embo. Unfortunately, this will never come to be now that Hasbro's Clone Wars action figure line is no more.

To produce the Marrok, I created a 3D print file of the character that I designed in Blender. I then scaled the model in Chitubox as an accessory for The Clone Wars Embo action figure and when finished, printed it on a our Longer Orange 30 resin printer. After we had a successful print, we molded that print with Smooth-On Mold Max 14NV and cast the figure in Smooth Cast 61D resin. Once taken out of the pressure pot and demolded, Dad and I took turns applying the paint to our figure and I painted in the final details. We love how he looks next to Embo!

Once we placed the character on our collection shelf, we then donated our mold to Rebel Kid Creations so our sculpt could be available to all of you to add to your own collections.

Sorry we lost your last custom posts. I will see if I can find them and get them reloaded here. I will be honest though, it was touch and go there with the forums the past few days. I don't want to even think about how much code I have gone through.

Anyhow your latest offering is fantastic, even more so since you have offered it to the general public. I am sure it will get quite a few prints.

These are all great! Thanks for the option of buying a Marrok. Your paint job on him is fantastic. I also really like how your Steela turned out. She looks brilliant.

Never understood why they never made this gut to go with Embo.
