Very cool! Love your work!
Remember why the Sith are more powerful than the Jedi, Sidious: because we are not afraid to feel.

I agree with all previous commentators! Those two new characters look great! Very impressive kit-bashes here! Before reading the recipe I looked at Eeth Koth’s daughter for a while. Then I recognized how little Rey actually looks like Daisy Ridley. I didn’t even identify the head before reading the recipe. The Chiss looks very good, too! I like the head a lot and the red vest.

Thanks for sharing Starchaser! Your customs never fail to impress and inspire!

Thanks so much Philipp! I don't think they did too bad on Rey, but its not a "photo-real" likeness for sure. I just thought some paint would give me a really different look.

I so agree. I wonder what the actual ratio is of male to female action figures released? I bet it would astound us.

A couple of pretty straightforward figures that have been sitting on my list for a awhile, and I finally figured out all the bits (or paint colors, a the case may be). Neither is particularly complicated, but they are character concepts that I've had rolling around in my head for months (I even mentioned one in an earlier post, so thought I should actually design a character).

1. Inspired by a character design from CHEWIE. Ced Ulmu is a Neti. Like all members of his species, he is Force sensitive. He trained as a Jedi, reaching the rank of Master, but at the outbreak of the Clone Wars left the Order. Ced was philosophically opposed to the Jedi being soldiers in the war, believing it violated their true purpose and he felt it would compromise his convictions to try and resolve the situation by remaining in the Order but in a non-combatant role. Instead, he found a job as a botanist for one of the many pharma companies in the Corporate Sector.



Recipe:
Head, lower arms and lower legs = Marvel (non-movie) Groot figure
Torso, upper arms and upper legs = Ree Yees

2. Crown Princess Lelit Irayonwe of Sen Argasi. Lelit was too young to rule when her parents met an untimely death - her mother Rochal dying from a rare form of cancer, and her father Siron killed by an assassin hired by his political rivals. She is quickly learning how to navigate the politically charged and precarious environment of her home world, as she tries to determine whether the Vizier (who assumed the role of regent) is just using her or is actually her ally. At the same time, she is hopeful that her dear friend and protector, Talu Ooran, will come out of his self-imposed exile to help her ascend the throne and bring peace to her planet.



Recipe:
Head = a custom from jokabofe/starwarsgeek
Torso = peasant disguise Padme
Legs = VC Boushh
Skirt = CW Embo
Belt/Loincloth = VC Aayla Secura

Two more very nice customs! Your customs are always inspiring and nice to look at with all the details and modifications! I'm glad you could use several parts of CW Embo after your Kara figure. The skirt looks excellent on Crown Princess Lelit Irayonwe. I like the general look of her she looks very mystical.
That's also a nice use of TBS Ree-Yees now that we got him on Vintage card, too.

Again, I'm happy about that Chryssalid every single day - so thank you for your great hints, Starchaser!


- Philipp
