"LOST MISSIONS" FIVES (CORUSCANT CLUB DISGUISE) created by Customs for the Kid

This was a quick easy custom to make. Just grab the body of the Phase II Clone Trooper action figure, paint it black, and then drybrush in the white of the armor. We used a Clone headcast we made from a mold we had and painted it so it had Fives head tattoo and goatee. Then we painted a Imperial Officer cap from Juno Eclipse to finish the custom of Fives in his Coruscant club disguise.

"DJ - FIRST ORDER DISGUISE" created by Darth Daddy

As far as difficulty goes, this custom action figure creation is some pretty low hanging fruit and it is an easy way to add to your Last Jedi collection. We sincerely doubt we will ever get a DJ in this outfit from Hasbro, so we decided to make one of our own. We maintained his 5 points of articulation so he matched his companion figures. To make him, we just needed the bottom half of The Last Jedi "DJ (Canto Bight)" head, and the body and hat from The Last Jedi "Finn in First Order Disguise" action figure. We used a hot knife for a precise cut when we removed the hats from both heads and then glued Finn's hat to DJ's head after we sanded away all the extra plastic and hair from his forehead. All that was left to do after that was paint the neck of the Finn body to match DJ's skin tone and we added a new toy to the collection.

"TOBIAS BECKETT - IMPERIAL MIMBAN DISGUISE" created by Darth Daddy

Dad made me this Tobias Beckett figure as a Christmas present to accompany the Val figure that he gave me. He used the chest of a Black Series Stormtrooper Commander action figure that he modified with a Dremel to include the blast marks, and some spare random Imperial body parts we had in fodder. The head of course is from the Force Link 2.0 Tobias Beckett figure that was modified to accept the hat and the holsters were also from that figure. The goggles were modified goggles from the Hoth Han Solo. The jacket was a modified one from the Vintage Endor Han Solo. The collar on his shirt, rank insignia, and jacket were all hand sculpted with ProCreate.

This figure was inspired by a Colin Hobbs custom action figure. We made a few changes to his recipe based on what we had available in parts.

3.75" "RIO DURANT" created by Darth Daddy

Rio Durant was a four-armed Ardennian pilot who lived during the reign of the Galactic Empire. Durant carried out dangerous missions alongside the scoundrel Tobias Beckett for years.

This Hasbro figure was only slightly improved with the addition of ball jointed elbows borrowed from two "Clone Wars" Cad Bane figures, and then Dad just brought out the details in the sculpt with some washes to the face, belt and bandoleer.

The action figure was a surprise reward for a good report card from school.

"Solo: A Star Wars Story" CHEWBACCA (Version 2) created by Darth Daddy

We used Gentle Giant's "Bust Up" Chewbacca head with Hasbro's Vintage Chewbacca action figure, mashed the two together with the glue from a glue gun to create one of the best representations of the character we've seen yet. We did A New Hope version of Chewie with the same head years ago and grabbed a second head off eBay to use with the accessories of the Hasbro Chewbacca ForceLink 2.0 action figure from the Solo film.

We can't speak highly enough about our new light box. It really does a wonderful job bringing out the best presentation for every new piece we complete.
