darth_sidious customs

Someone PMed me and asked for a picture of all my Mother Talzin customs - so I thought I'd post it - here is the evolution of the character. You can see a real variety of parts and materials based on what I had at the time - I tried to make each one as unique as possible:



Newest Talzin:

Wow, what we wouldn't all give for Hasbro to make an Evo Pack like this.

Time to go get this on the front page.

This is a great character and you've got three terrific incarnations here.  I really like all of them and think that skiing them side-by-side like this is the best way to appreciate (and showcase) what's great about each one in particular.

I love the regal look of the first and the soft goods on he second.  The third is just a great adaptation of Hasbro's recent release. 

Light side, dark side...meh.  Just give me a lightsaber and a blaster and I'll take care of it!

Thanks guys - I appreciate the comments.  I'd love to see a Nightsister evolution set myself, perhaps with Mother Talzin, Ventress, and a generic "ninja" Nightsister.  I am happy Hasbro gave us the Nightsister figure in the Maul battlepack (which looks like a cross between Mighella and the concept Sith Witch), but I'd love more!

Once in awhile, I'll update old customs, and this Nightsister was at the top of my list. I thought the hood was far too large, and the "wings" / blades on her back were not positioned the way I first envisioned. I updated the back, and resculpted the hood to make it more accurate to the cartoon:

The Talzins are pretty cool. Love this nightsister though.

I love the newest Talzin and this Nightsister is even better than the crew you made last year.

Very nice re-do on that Nightsister!
I dabble in the Star Wars Universe of Toys... I rip apart little plastic people and turn them into other plastic people. Sometimes I take pictures of them and post them.

Thanks!

I was able to complete my Yakfinities entry tonight, its one of my most wanted OT characters: Cane Adiss.  I knew Hasbro had no plans for it, so I decided to customize one.  The head sculpts are by Sjefke on the forums, who did a stellar job on them.  I went a different route on the body and dimensions - I always envisioned this character as a small Eborsisk (Willow movie), so I wanted it to look like a beast (I'm not a fan of the EU backstory).  I think this works best as a 'pet' like the Rancor, not an alien that flies a ship.  Here is how my version turned out:
