Early 2019 it became known that the Dutch EchoBase foundation would hold a special Star Wars charity con in December. All proceeds of the convention would go to the Dutch foundation KiKa (Children Cancer free). I immediately got in touch with the organisation and shared my idea of making a special custom figure for this awesome cause.
Last Saturday the convention was held and it was a fun small scaled event. I am super proud to share the final winning bid for my custom figure came in at a whopping 120 euros (roughly 130 USD)!.
So, not without some sense of pride, here's the figure I made, a repaint of K2-SO in the colours of the KiKa foundation, aptly renamed K1-KA

The idea behind this paint scheme is that K1-KA is a droid of the foundation which visits the sick children and entertains them, ofr instance by letting them paint and draw all kinds of stuff on him.
It was an absolute honour to work on this and I am definitely up for future projects like this.
