Starchaser, the process couldn't of been easier. I boiled and popped her into bits and pieces then followed the instructions on the package. Left her in for about 3 minutes, I used a Colander in a pot so it was easy to fish out the multiple parts. rinsed well off under the sink and pasted dry with paper towels. Bending the joint pieces all the way one way half way through then all the way the other gets complete coverage. Red paint has always giving me a hard time, needing multiple coats. The painted parts of the figure remain unaffected, the boot cuffs, belt highlights and badge and letters on her chest stayed the same. I was shocked how red she came out using her yellow body.

Thanks! So the dye didn't adhere to painted parts of the figure, only the unpainted plastic?

Yeah, it didn't dye the painted parts.the only parts that didn't take a dip were her hands and feet.

Nice! I like your Thrawn better than the actual live action guy. Zombie Witch Troopers are awesome.

Nice job on the sword! The zombie trooper is excellent as well. I like the red racing stripes (I really don't get those on the troopers, but it's not my design).

Yep, you have a much better Thrawn. Like the zombie trooper too. Nice update.

Off to share.

Great Ahsoka customs! How'd you nail the sword? 3D print or another sculpt?

I had two identical chap mei (I think) Samurai swords. I removed the tsuba (hand guard) on one and modified it to fit next to the one on the other. Scotch invisible tape and green marker. for the flameish effect.

That's pretty dang creative. I would have never thought it was any of that. How do you like Morgan Elsbeth figure?

Although I was indifferent when she was announced, she is a pleasant surprise and welcomed addition. Very nice figure, excellent interpretation of the character, minus accessories.

I, too, actually really like the Morgan figure and see great application as another female body for customs.

I've seen a few of these Kid Connection Space Exploration Play Sets from Walmart customized, here's my take.

That's outstanding. It's works really well for the MARS rocket. What Cobra sets did you use for the symbol, etc.

Any idea how you are going to use that rocket...I could see using it in a "Star Wars" diorama some how.
