CUSTOMS FOR THE KID - ELIAS' SENIOR CAPSTONE PRESENTATION



Last week, I gave a presentation at my school about the "Customs for the Kid" blog, discussing what this blog is about, some of the milestones associated with our ten year tenure, the basics of custom action figure creation, the design of my business plan as an artist who does commissions, as well as how I plan to expand our brand going forward by integrating CAD modeling and molding and casting some of our more unique items.  The audio isn't wonderful, but it is passable if you want to give it a listen. We figured we'd post it for anyone who has an interest in what was said.

CUSTOMIZER SPOTLIGHT #56: TCW “MSP80 PTEROPTER HOVER POD" created by Joseph Glidden aka MOFF GLIDEON’s CUSTOMS

Instead of a new custom from us, we will just provide you with a Customizer Spotlight post featuring something new we just added to our own collection...an installment from Moff Glideon's Customs. Moff Glideon's Customs is relatively new to the scene, but his 3-D printed customs have caught the eyes of many collectors and his offerings have received much fanfare.

His 3-D printed Trandoshan Hunting Pods are what attracted our attention. We liked that Moff Glideon's Customs presented the option of a do-it-yourself kit for $60 or a painted version for $100. We went for a finished painted piece in our purchase. The vehicle arrived in a well packed box and the plastic it was composed of was nice and sturdy for a 3D print. The paint was well applied throughout and the lights of the vehicle are done in glow-in-the-dark paint which was a really cool detail that we enjoyed. We also really liked that the rotary gun was attached with a magnet and could move from left to right.

While we purchased a less screen accurate version of the hunting pod from Lucasclones back in 2014, we really liked how well the 3-D printed version was captured in this newer edition. The new vehicle is going to look great posed with our Clone Wars Ramy and Trandoshan Hunter action figures by Peak-OB1.
