I like it, I like it a lot. Good use of parts, with the rolled sleeves. The backstory is awesome! I think the rain makes the setting look cool.

Thanks! I was a bit worried about the picture quality and then thought, "Whatever" its got to rain in Star Wars, too. :) I did like how the rolled up sleeves worked, too. I was really pleased with how closely the tones of cream matched between Solo and Cassian.

Love the background story and how Han's arms fit perfectly to Cassian's torso! Great job, Starchaser!

Thanks, Tamer.

Yeah, I was pleased to see it was a simple boil and pop to complete the arm transition - no hot glue, no dremel, no paint - I like it easy:) The socket on the head, however, is too big, so its just resting there for now. Some hot glue will allow me to set it up a bit higher on the neck, but I'll get to that some other time.

Nice one!

Thanks, Chuckles.

Erris Raeke – As an Arkanian Offshoot (Sephi-Arkanian hybrid), Erris was already looked down upon, but when his parents were killed in a mining accident Erris became a pariah on Arkania. Offshoot orphans were doomed to become child miners and were considered “dispensable.” Erris’ life would have been miserable and short had not a travelling Jedi sensed his connection with the Force and brought the six-year old to Coruscant. Shortly after he attained Knighthood, the abortive revolution on Arkania broke out. Erris petitioned the Council to send him to Arkania to seek a diplomatic solution. The Jedi Council insisted that they wait until invited and Erris was denied his petition. He made the decision to defy the Council’s orders and left for Arkania to find the revolutionary Renegades. He quickly learned they were just as corrupt, prejudice and selfish as the Arkanian Dominion. Deeply discouraged, Erris left Arkania, branded a traitor by the government and sought after by the Jedi Order to give account for his willful defiance. Taking his Jedi starfighter and two Arkanian Dragon eggs he rescued from the battlefield, Erris headed for the Unknown Regions where he found an unnamed habitable planet. He decided to remain in isolation meditating on the Force and adopting the attitude of Jedi Watchman over the planet. Unbeknownst to him, he is a thrice wanted man also declared an outlaw by the Republic’s successor state, the Galactic Empire.





and with his two hatched Arkanian Dragons (Daz and Gem):



Recipe:
Head = Boss fight elf (with hair sculpted on)
Arms = Jango Fett (30th anniversary I think)
Torso and legs = Prince of Persia Dastan figure
Accoutrements = boba fett blaster; Rey backpack and staff
Dragons = two of the three new MegaContrux Game of Thrones dragons

Thanks, Chuckles! I think I've gotten to where I can sculpt hair pretty well, just not everything else :)

I agree with Chuckles, the hair is well done.  I like the Prince of Persia parts, they fit into the Star Wars look well.

Thanks Moronarama - I've seen several really good customs using the Prince of Persia figures and I'm sitting on a few of the figures myself that may find their way into my custom line-up at some point.

Great use of parts on Erris Raeke! The sculpted hair looks amazing, I can really appreciate that because I've learned how hard it is to sculpt hair.

Thanks, RC. It was fun to put together. I wish the colors and details showed up better in the pictures, but I'm not a photographer and I like the outdoor setting for shots. Anyway, I'm pretty happy with him as a concept. Plus, he's got good play value:)

Another outstanding figure.
The background stories are always very interesting and worth reading.
Excellent work
