"THE CLONE WARS" STEELA GERRERA created by Elias

This is my second version of Steela Gerrera. I made the first one a few years ago, and since then we started making our own 3D designed heads. With new technology on our side, I've been able to revisit several projects that I wasn't satisfied with. Steela was one of them, and I'm happy to say I feel like I can finally place her on the shelf to rest.

For a long time, Steela's face sculpt reminded me too much of the Aurra Sing which I had used as the base for her sculpt. For this version, I made a new headsculpt from scratch on Blender.  I originally printed her without her hair or bandana.  I then carefully removed the hair and bandana from the original head and secured them on the new printed one.

After assembling the new head, I took a holster from a Black Series 3.75" Jyn Erso for Steela's belt because of its slimmer design.  Once I was happy with her new look, I hit her with a fresh coat of paint and she was camera ready!

You can make your own Steela as well! Her headcast is now available on the Rebel Kid Creations store, and can be purchased alone or in a bundle alongside headcasts for Saw Gerrera and Lux Bonteri.

ANIMATED "SIEGE OF MANDALORE" DARTH MAUL by Customs for the Kid

So we're aware that it has been a long time since we have posted an easy custom that you can do at home in just a few minutes. That is the very reason for today's custom. 

There are a subset of collectors that are unhappy that Hasbro never properly finished the Clone Wars action figure line. When Hasbro started releasing long desired figures from the Clone Wars television series in TVC with realistic sculpts these collectors were greatly disappointed feeling as though their collections would never feel complete. Well, we can't do much to push Hasbro in the right direction other than do our best to build the prototypes of what could have been and maybe provide you all with a few tips and tricks to help fill some of those gaps.

This is a custom action figure that could be thrown together in less than a minute provided your glue gun is already heated up, locked and loaded. All you need is the new TVC Darth Maul that was just released and one of the old animated Darth Maul heads from the old Clone Wars line. Just remove the head off TVC figure leaving the barbell neck joint attached to the body, squeeze a small amount of glue into the animated head, and place it onto the neck post until the glue dries. remove any unsightly glue that may have spilled out with an X-acto knife and the figure is complete. It is a great custom for beginners and a great way to fill out your animated Clone Wars collection.
