Great livestream image, I am gonna go share that all over.

And yours is uncanny how close it is. Maybe they used yours as the design!

Off to share the Stormtrooper too.

Lots of info in this post!
Thanks Tamer! :) I don't think that I was the main source of inspiration, especially since there are a few people out there who produce(d) this card - but maybe they at least took a small hint from the customizing community this time and added it to the voices of all the people who wanted TVC to return...wouldn't that be cool? :) I have to say I'm not totally happy with their logo choice, though...why not use the movie logo?

Very nice work on ANH Leia (Ceremony) and the ESB Stormtrooper!! They look excellent as always!
Thanks a lot Philipp! :)

I am also celebrating the return of the Vintage Collection next year and hope they will be of the same quality as they were when the line stopped in 2012...at the start of the Black Series there was some significant difference in quality (paint apps, packaging/blisters, sculpts, variety...!). You probably all know what I mean...
Definitely. But I'm quite hopeful regarding this, since Hasbro's figure quality has increased again in the meantime. I've even taken quite a liking to the 5POA Rogue One figures because of the great sculpts....but only when they're on card where the static poses don't matter... ;)

I'm currently progressing/looping through the OT movies, so after ANH and ESB, here's a ROTJ card... Custom designs are always fun, but I still want to have modern equivalents for all of Kenners's vintage figure offerings one day - so here's Malakili, Jabba's Rancor Keeper:



Next up...SW again. :)

Another great artwork on the Vintage Card! Malakili is actually one of my favourite figures of the Legacy Collection!


And I agree with you! Although I am not a fan of 5POA at all, I still like the idea of "Vintage nostalgia" - this was one of Hasbro's points when they (re-)introduced the 5POA Figures. It's obvious that they primarily wanted/had to cut production costs...

But as you said most the sculpts of Hasbro's figures are very nice, indeed! Some of the details only come out when you customize/repaint them, though.
And all of them look superb on your custom vintage cards!

Malakili looks good on the front pages. At least you can keep us satiated till TVC comes back!

Lol...thanks Tamer. Now I feel like a stopgap... ;) (just joking ;) ) But seriously, I think even after spring 2018 there'll be more than enough chances for cool/interesting customs... :)

Let's return to Star Wars again...this was a fun figure I wanted to do for quite some time:

STAR WARS - Chewbacca (Yavin Ceremony)



Like many fans I thought it a pity that Chewie never received a medal after the Battle of Yavin. Fortunately "Star Wars Revisited", which I consider as the definitive version of SW (next to the "Despecialized Edition", of course), fixed this. ;) The figure itself was easy to do, I removed the head with boil-and-pop, shortened the head peg slightly, gave him his medal, reattached the head...et voila. :)

I definitely am... ;) I don't know how many times I've watched the reveal video from SWCO so far...it gives me goosebumps every single time... :D

I'll definitely keep 'em coming, no worries... ;) I've just done a "head count" this weekend, if I didn't miscount I'm currently at 143 completed customs...and more are on the way... :D Speaking of which:

EMPIRE STRIKE BACK - Luke Skywalker (Wampa Cave)



Luke's always the one hanging around....with his friends at Tosche Station....at Chalmun's Cantina...on Hoth... ;) This was a fun figure to do, I thought it appropriate to rotate it 180° so it matches the picture better... ;) Apart from that it's a standard Black Series Hasbro figure on one of my custom cardbacks... :)

Next up - ROTJ again. :) Kenner had an X-Wing pilot (Luke), a B-Wing pilot...and an A-Wing pilot. However, one of the most important Rebel Alliance fighter pilots was missing... ;)
