SUPER-ARTICULATED "CAPTAIN PANAKA" created by Darth Daddy

Queen Amidala's loyal protector during the Trade Federation invasion crisis was Captain Panaka. Panaka was often referred to as "the quickest eyes on Naboo" for his attention to detail and selfless dedication to the safety of the Queen.  

To create this super-articulated version of the character, I used the Captain Typho action figure from The Legacy Collection as my base figure.  I borrowed the head and gloves from the original figure and modified the Typho where needed.  Mostly it was the clothing that needed modifying and I was able to do that with a new sculpting medium I started using called ProCreate.  Instead of making the hat removable, I just made the head swappable.  Since I had two Panaka heads, I removed the hat from one, and sculpted in his hair.

"EBE ENDOCOTT" painted by Elias

Elias really impressed me with the paint job of his second podracer from ASIS FILM MODELS cast figure model series. Although the figures offer no articulation, the sculpts are out of this world!

Recently Elias painted the "Ebe Endocott" that we received in hopes of growing his Phantom Menace collection. Elias' paintwork was so skillfully applied and he was able to add one more podracer to his display. Stay tuned for two more podracers in the month of March this time painted by ASIS FILM MODELS themselves.  Customs for the Kid was able to acquire the very podracers that were used in the photography for their store's website!
