Nice looking custom figures! Your Yib Garnach figure looks a lot like this one I made last year using almost the same parts. Great minds think alike

[darthdaddy]

I love your figure choices.  Very cool customs.

[Starchaser]

I-am-Boba-Fett - You're right! They are similar, I guess sometimes creativity runs in parallel tracks. Thanks for the compliment (and for the custom heads!).

DarthDaddy - I appreciate the kinds words.

[Starchaser]

Thought I would post a couple of quick "head swap" customs I did this last week:

Demosius Faralanquay: A Sephi hybrid Jedi.





Head = Hobbit Legolas
Body = Vintage Qui-Gon
     (the head and post needed a bit of Dremel work on this one)

The second is a as-of-yet unnamed Gran padawan.



Head = Vintage Mawhonic
Body = Vintage Anakin as padawan

Looks good to me, off to share.

[My kind of scum]

I've enjoyed looking through your thread.  I particularly like your Ryn (first one I've seen and really well done) and your Selkath (the use of the nightcrawler hands and feet is just ingenious and looks fantastic!)

[Starchaser]

Thanks so much for the kind words My kind of scum. It's really encouraging.

Here's a group of Jedi customs I have done over the past 18 months.

A Bothan Jedi





A Falleen Jedi



A Gotal Jedi



A  Kadas'sa'Nikto Jedi



A Chagrian Jedi (his name is Tamm Rusk)



A Duros Jedi (Felanil Baaks, a Wizards creation and lightsaber artisan)





And, a Jedi from Alderaan (Tishamene Argrave - a padawan survivor of Order 66 - original concept)



     and the legs under the robes:



recipes to come later this evening

Nice group of Jedi. I love the Gotal! Gotta have those OT aliens.

[ActionFigEmpire]

Awesome work! Loving the alien Jedi you've made, head-swaps or not! I've got to get my hands on that female Alderaan Jedi's head! Can't wait for your recipes. Keep up the great work!

[Starchaser]

Okay, I'm back to share recipes. Most are simple enough.

Bothan = Comic pack Borsk Fey'lya head and hands; Geonosis Arena showdown Kit Fisto body

Falleen = Comic pack Prince Xizor head and hands; Vintage Qui-Gon body

Gotal = Feltipern Trevagg head and hands; Vintage FI-Ek Sirch body; Realistic Clone Wars Mace Windu upper arms; Vintage Ackbar forearms

Nikto = Vintage Wooof head and hands; Roth Del-Masona body

Chagrian = Return of the Sith Mas Amedda head, arms, torso and skirt (cut short and slit); Comic Pack Wedge Antilles legs

Felanil Baaks (Duro) = Vintage Quinlan Vos body; Ellors Madak head (dremeled to fit)

Tishamene Argrave (female) = Harry Potter Cho head; Wioslea torso, upper arms, and soft goods; Hobbit Legolas forarms and hands; Clone Wars Anakin legs

One more for tonight. I started working on this for the EU competition, but wasn't able to finish in time. I always hoped that Boba Fett was a near human alien rather than just a human [alas for me ]. So naturally I was ecstatic when I saw the 1994 Star Wars Galaxy Series Two trading cards which included an "artist's" rendition of Boba Fett unmasked by Dan Brereton (there's an image of it in the Wookieepedia article on Boba Fett). I've been thinking about doing a custom of this figure for a long time, but hesitated because I'm not a sculptor. Anyway with Marvel Universe figures, things became a bit easier. Using a MU Nightcrawler head, and fairly rudimentary sculpting with "green stuff" I finally took a stab at it.









I think I need to find away to bring out some of the contours of the face, especially the mouth (though they are more visible in person than in the photos), but haven't yet figured out how to do this effectively.

[Tamer]

That Bothan Jedi looks good on the front page. I like you version of that Boba too. I too would have probably preferred a more alien species for him.

Oh, your prize should be getting to you any day now.

[Barmic_Rin]

I love that Boba!! Some of the earlier EU concept art was amazing, and you've done a great job on the head sculpt.

Those are some rockin' jedi customs.
