So I was going to use my brother's pieces....... I just moved into his room a few, (maybe several..), weeks ago and moved all his stuff.  I made SURE that I put his boxes of action figure pieces in a place where I could find them easily when ever I wanted.   NOW I CAN'T FIND THEM!!!!  That is SO aggravating!

This is my entry.
Since Starkiller figures are hard to come by in Germany (read: next to impossible) and if you manage to find one, it's prohibitively expensive, I decided to kitbash a Galen Marek figure.
I didn't want just some figure, but I wanted my Starkiller to come with a bunch of accessories.
He's probably not game accurate, but he's in an outfit conceiveable for the character.

The base figure is an Anakin figure. The lower arms and gloves came from an Imperial Storm Commando. I found that the heads on those Starkiller figures I have in my collection don't look much like Sam Witwer, so I chose a GI JOE ROC Duke head which I think looks more like Starkiller.
The blue lightsabers came from my parts box. The cape came with the Anakin figure (I think), the hood is from a TVC Darth Sidious. The softgoods cloak is from the TVC Darth Maul.

I added an "action harness" which came off a ROC Red Ninja and to which I added a kama or inner robetype garment made of a piece of nylon webbing.

The photos show that you can dress Starkiller in different ways so he has a lot of play value.

Oh yeah,nailed it.........great job. Nice idea with the change of accessories. ;D

One head I tend to use for star killer customs is the Mcquarrie concept rebel trooper.......used it for a correlian flight suit version.

Nothing too fancy here:









I was never fond of the exposed cleavage on the second Juno Eclipse figure as it was unfitting for an officer of the Empire and for the fact that while accurate to the game, the way the open jacket front was sculpted does not correspond to the actual way the front of the uniform is constructed so these 2 bodies became custom fodder.

The main bodies are unmodified, but I did add holsters from some 2009 Trek movie figures, pistols from v1 Destros and some assorted little bitz for the lapel commbadges as well as using 2 new heads. No paint was applied save for trimming off some of the silver overspray from the production Hasbro pieces.

Volker, you hit upon one of the main reasons to kit-bash. I shared your update on our facebook page hoping to get more involved.

Spectre, good use of parts here to make a better figure too.

No prob, Shawn.

Spectre, you used one of my fav female heads. Gotta love that Elsa Schneider.
Especially among base figures wearing a uniform or armor, a head-swap is the best way to create a variation. Well done!

Yeah, but you are biased, sir!  She's German... you're German... see?  Inherent cultural bias!   ;D

And yes, headswaps make for great easy variations.  Too bad Hasbro won't give us consistent head-nubs!!
