STAR WARS REBELS "OBI-WAN KENOBI" created by Customs for the Kid

This was an action figure we started building a while ago when we learned Obi-Wan was going to make an appearance on Star Wars Rebels.  To build the figure we used the 2013 Clone Wars Obi-Wan Kenobi body. The forearms we grabbed off of some random Jedi arms we had floating around in our fodder bin to provide the bloused out sleeves to replace the gauntlets. We sanded down the head of the Rebels: Mission Series Obi Wan Kenobi hologram figure and then resculpted the hair with some ProCreate.  The soft goods on his lower robes we grabbed off of a Tusken Raider that was in the Vintage 3-pack.  It was a nice way to add articulation to the figure to increase the poseability.  

We are really excited to add this figure to our collection just before the release of "Twin Suns" this upcoming Saturday!

"CUSTOMIZING THE CLONE WARS" - EPISODE 43

CUSTOMIZER SPOTLIGHT UPDATE: "Custom Star Wars Cardboard Yavin Base Playset" by thecardboardgalaxy

Saving your Christamas money until March can have its benefits.  At least it did for me. Sometime last year I saw this Yavin Base playset up for sale on eBay and at the time I just didn't have the money to purchase it.  I was really excited when I saw that thecardboardgalaxy produced a second playset and had posted it up once more for purchase.  This time I was sitting on a stack of money I received for Christmas and I quickly made the purchase.  Dad fronted me and I quickly paid him back.  I knew I would be getting a quality item from the backgrounds we had purchased from him and receiving his "Death Star Playset" as a gift.

This is a handmade “Hidden Fortress” Playset kit in the style of classic vintage Kenner Star Wars toys with modern aesthetics. It is approximately 16” tall and 20” wide at the base!

It includes several play environments for recreating scenes from the Yavin IV Rebel Base as seen in Star Wars IV: A New Hope, including: Tactical Room, Medal Ceremony Room (with pop-up stage,) Hangar Bay, Ops Center (with tactical screens and a “holotank” table), Temple Rooftop and a Rebel Guard Tower.

It is made from chipboard and cardstock (like the real Palitoy Death Star playset from the 1970’s) with custom-printed details for maximum authenticity. The whole playset easily breaks down into flat pieces for storage and shipping.

The kit I purchased included:

· 3 Wall Panels

· 3 Floor Panels

· Holotank Table Accessory

· Assembly Instructions

This kit is perfect for displaying/playing with your Star Wars action figures, including figures from the upcoming ROGUE ONE movie! It is a simulation production toy, but not a real toy product.

Each of these limited edition “Hidden Fortress” kits are hand-signed and numbered. Once they’re gone, they’re gone! So this is a bona-fide collectible piece of art as well.

MAKING "ZIRO THE HUTT" TUTORIAL

"So many times, people come to my house and they look at my collection and they say, "What's your favorite thing in here?' I'm never really sure what to answer that question with.  Now...I have a solid go to answer every time.  Ziro arrived today and he is magnificent.  Such amazing work.  Hasbro could not do any better. It's great and I love it.  I'm going to make a big deal about it on RFR so I hope you don't mind." - Jimmy Mac

"IMPERIAL TROOP TRANSPORT" created by THANK THE MAKER

Many of you may know Thank The Maker from the Google Hangout video we did with him on 3-D printed Star Wars toys last year.  While we don't very often feature a custom creation in this manner, we felt that this particular piece was noteworthy enough to make an exception. Thank The Maker's Imperial Troop Transport provides all the best playable features that are desired in a toy as well as including some very cool accessories!

Not only does this custom vehicle hit all the right notes in appearance and function, but it also makes one hell of a playset too!

While Hasbro's Rebels version of the vehicle was a nice addition to our collection, after seeing this custom version of the toy, we are left wishing that this was the version we were all able to buy in stores.  We have a feeling that this custom vehicle is going to make the rounds in numerous Star Wars fan circles throughout the year.  It is just too beautiful to go unnoticed.  From the detailed cockpit and removable cargo crates to the coolest prison center since the 1980's G.I. Joe Headquarters Command Center, this custom has it all!

We tip our hats to Thank The Maker for this fabulous work of art!
