We received three prints of this Gamorrean Guard from Star Wars customizer, Daniel Trujillo Jr. The prints all varied in size. They were originally produced for him by Moff Glidden's Customs. Daniel said the medium size print was the action figure that was most to scale. When Dad attempted to assemble the print, he broke one of the hip joints on the most to scale figure. Thankfully, it was clean break and we were able to krazy glue it back together. We then molded the leg, and then made a cast of the leg to salvage the project. In the end, it actually made for a stronger joint that will not be breaking anytime soon.
Once the figure was fully assembled, Dad felt the head was a bit oversized for the body based on the original Clone Wars design of the character, so Dad filled the neck hole on the torso with a little bit of glue from our glue gun, and quickly inserted the head from the smallest print of the figure to see if the smaller head would scale better. After careful inspection, he noticed this made the figure somewhat shorter, but the head size was more in line with the animated show's design. Dad then grabbed the largest print and again repeated the same trick with the smallest head to match it with the largest body. Immediately, he noticed that the silhouette was more in line with what we saw on screen.
At that point, he decided this was how he would proceed with the build. Dad felt super lucky that he had the option of even having the prints of varying size to experiment with. Dad felt a little bad manipulating the original design by swapping the proportions, but also wanted to personalize the project just a little. He momentarily considered doing his own original head sculpt, but didn't want to defile the artist's sculpt more than he already had.
We're not really sure who the original designer was for this print. Moff Glidden's Customs is a printing service and doesn't actually do any of the designing. He subscribes to other artists' Patreon accounts and pays the higher subscription fee to allow him to print their designs. Therefore, we don't know the original artist to credit them for the sculpt. Keep in mind that the proportions shown here will be much different than the product you would be purchasing.
It was very cool of Daniel Trujillo Jr. to send these out to us! Adding to The Clone Wars line is always a special treat!
