Topic: StarAlien70's custom figures

I think you are by-far one of the best customizers around. Excellent job!!!

The "Splinter" figures turned out excellently. I love the work you did on Luke's open flight suit, and the ear bud trick is really a great tip.

Wow, these look great. Off to share.

Some great innovation on all of your pieces. Awesome work!

Thanks everybody for your comments and likes, those 'Splinter' customs are doing well on Imperial Shipyards' Facebook page.

These are a couple of figures I did a while ago. I don't think I have posted them before, but having seen that Hasbro are due to release a new TVC Han Stormtrooper, I thought I would show them now. My reason for doing these was because I find the hip ball-joints frustrating, particularly with Stormtroopers, as you have to twist the thigh 90 degrees to sit the figures. So to remedy this, I wanted to get the extra thigh articulation that the new SA and TBS 6" figures have (which I don't think the new TVC Han is going to have, but I may be wrong).

I didn't want to destoy my TLC Han & Luke, so I kitbashed some Stormtroopers. Both use chest section and arms from TAC Stormtrooper. Abdomen section, modified belts and modified legs from TBS Stormtrooper; legs are fitted with hip joints from Tron figures for more articulation at the thigh.



Han: Head from VOTC figure. Belt from TBS Stormtrooper modified to have removable thermal detonator, attaches using small magnets from Star Wars Saga figures.



Luke: Head from TLC Saga Legends Luke X-Wing. Removable belt modified from TBS Stormtrooper fitted with clip for comlink, and mock grappling hook.



Removable belt also fits VOTC Luke figure.

Simply stunning my friend

Wow, yepper they look great. After your post I know I have looked at that image of the new Han a hundred times. I think you may be right on with that.

Off to share these.

The multi-use belt is spectacular! Great job! 👍

[Starchaser]

Great engineering! The figures looks spot and now have added play value (or display value). Excellent work.

A big thanks to all you guys for your comments, likes, shares and encouragement. It means a lot to me that you appreciate, not just the figures, but the effort I put in to adding that little bit of extra interest or detail. I don't go on forums a lot, but it's great to share ideas and see the fantastic customs that others are doing and the passion and commitment they have and be a part of this community. Cheers!

Folks are still commenting on your Luke and Leia Customs on our Facebook Page. They like the stormtrooper Luke and Han too.

Thanks for putting them on there, Tamer.
It's funny how certain figures get instant reactions.

Haven't been on for a while.  I come back and see some amazing stuff!  Your Rogue One customs and Mon Calamari engineer really blow it out of the water!

[StarAlien70]

Thanks everybody. Here's another addition to the Rogue One customs I have done.

Cassian Andor (Jedha): Head, legs and lower torso modified from TBS 3.75" Cassian. Upper torso modified from TVC Naboo Pilot. Upper arms from TBS Luke Yavin, with forearms from Luke X-Wing. Hood, front coat panel, skirt, quilted knee parts, pocket, forearms' stripes and gloves cut from 5POA Jedha Cassian. Custom backpack modified from an older 'The Corps' figure (?).



Shown here with previous custom SA K-2SO and Jyn Erso (now with modified plastic scarf). Also shown with alternate head for Cassian Andor (Eadu).



Currently working on a modified shorter torso for Luke Stormtrooper and alternate 'wet head'. Also some more 'Splinter Of The Mind's Eye' to come.

Nice. Very nice. Off to share.
