"A NEW HOPE" PRINCESS LEIA Created by Elias

We got the idea for this project from an artist on the RebelScum.com forums.  It's a simple kitbash and repaint of the new Vintage Collection Princess Leia and the Legacy Collection Medical Frigate Princess Leia.  I took the fabric dress from the Legacy Collection Leia and fitted it to the waist of the Vintage Collection one.  Using a sharp X-Acto, I separated the belt from the dress of the Vintage Collection Leia and fitted it.  after the figure was built out, I found myself dissatisfied with the factory paint job on the face.  I repainted it to bring Carrie Fisher's likeness out of the sculpt, and now that it's done, I'm so happy I took the time to do it.  I hoped to bring out the magic of the character we all felt the first time we saw our beloved princess on the silver screens.

"THE BOOK OF BOBA FETT" COBB VANTH created by "Customs for the Kid"

This was a super easy custom to make. Just slap some generic forearms on the Cobb Vanth figure after you remove Boba Fett's gauntlets and paint them to match the red of his torso and biceps and he is complete. You can use the red bandana that came with the original figure or add a soft goods bandana like we did for improved screen accuracy post beskar armor.

Swapping parts on just the Cobb Vanth and Tusken Boba Fett figures gave us two new figures.

"THE MANDALORIAN" CUSTOM TVC BOBA FETT - TYTHON ACTION FIGURE created by Customs for the Kid

This custom action figure was super easy to make if you have extra TVC "The Mandalorian" Cobb Vanth and TVC "The Book of Boba Fett" Boba Fett (Tusken) action figures on hand. First remove the forearms of the Cobb Vanth figure by heating the joints using your preferred methods and do the same with the Boba Fett. Make sure you heat the Boba Fett enough to remove the rubber portion of his torso to make room for the removable armor of Cobb Vanth. Once the forearms have been removed from both figures, add some glue from a glue gun into the pin socket and insert the pin before the glue has a chance to dry to create a snug fit. Cut the black collar strategically away from the rest of the rubber torso and glue the collar with the neck peg intact into the beskar armor Boba will be wearing. Glue the armor into place to hide the seams of the previous rubber portion that had been removed. Swap the hands so Boba keeps the hands that he originally had. We had an extra peg we had cast for customizing that we added to the Boba Fett helmet to make it a swappable head. Then we painted the red portion of the forearms black to match the rest of the clothing after we prepped the PVC parts of the joint to prevent paint rub. We then drilled a hole in the back of the Boba to fit the jetpack and added a small amount of glue from the glue gun to give it a snug fit. Then just swap out the knee pad accessory and keep the gaffe stick and pistol that Boba came with. 

Next week we'll share what we did with the parts that were left over from both of the figures that weren't used in this build.
