wampa1's kit-bashes
« on: August 27, 2015, 02:03:42 PM »
Yo! Long time lurker, first time poster...

My favourite way to customise figures is to kit-bash, partly because I'm terrible at painting or molding anything....

Here's what I've been up to:

Farmboy Luke Skywalker



Swapped out the soft goods on the Death Star Escape Luke and replaced the belt from the VOTC Farmboy Luke.  Shaved down the 'corners' on the hip-joint to allow for more natural posing of the legs.

Death Star Escape Luke



Swapped out the lower tunic with the soft goods donated from a Hoth Rebel (who got Luke's in return).  Modified the hip-joint.

Bespin Luke Skywalker



VOTC Bespin Luke with TVC Dagobah Landing Luke head.

Echo Base Han Solo



TVC Bespin Han body with TVC Echo Base Han jacket and arms.  Added TBS Carbonite Han head.

Bespin Gown Leia



Replaced the pathetic TVC Bespin Leia headsculpt with the far superior Hoth Leia one.  Sliced off the back of her head and modified to allow for TVC Bespin Leia braids to be added.

Sandstorm Han Solo



TBS Carbonite Han base with modified shoulders and collar to allow the neck wrap and TLC Sandstorm head to sit flush.  Replaced lower arms with TLC Sandstorm Han and added belt.

Endor Han Solo



TBS Carbonite Han base with heaviliy modified shoulders to allow the vest to sit lower.  Added TVC Endor Han lower arms and belt.  Hoslter strap from TVC Bespin Luke.  Head is SAGA Legends Endor Han Solo modified into a ball joint.

I really like these! I'm actually thinking that not painting these looks even better!

That Bespin Leia is perhaps the best version of her that I have seen. You evidently are an expert with the razor blade knife too. Off to share.

And welcome to ISY!

Really, really nice!  I gotta say, these are my favorite types of customs.  I love making all the key, core characters perfect.  And Farmboy Luke and Endor Han are two of the figures most in need of these types of upgrades.

The 'other' Sergeant Doallyn, who gets pushed down the stairs by Chewie.  Recipe is Jabba's Skiff Guard (the first Doallyn later retconned into Brock Starsher) head and Bane Malar body.

Good work on all of these.  Hasbro should take notes from your fixes.  I know I am.

Love Farmboy Luke and Sarge D.  I hope I speak for all OCD OTC collectors in saying, "We really wanted these two, Hasbro".
As much as I like Bane Malar, Doallyn is just 'must have.
.... And Farmboy Luke?   Nuf said.
