"STAR WARS REBELS" LANDO CALRISSIAN painted by “Customs for the Kid”

We recently received the HasLab - Ghost on our front step, and ever since, Star Wars Rebels has been on our minds. The Star Wars Rebels 3.75 inch offerings were slim, so we’ve been doing our best to fill the collection out. Our friend Angry Raccoon Miniatures created a beautiful Lando Calrissian sculpt and we’re big Lando fans, so we needed to have him represented on our shelf.

Dad took advantage of the holiday weekend and helped me out with creating a post for the blog. Dad purchased this model a while back with hopes of adding it to my shelf, but a busy work schedule prevented him from painting up a lot of Angry Racoon Minatures models we have sitting in a drawer waiting for paint. We have quite a lot to get to still. I grabbed a model too but mine has a ways to go still. Dad came just short of finishing this figure so I hopped in at the last minute and painted the eyes, white lines on the shirt and did minor touchups in one or two spots where the paint went rogue.

We highly recommend picking these up. These action figures are as simple as trim, assemble, and paint!

3.75" "THE MANDALORIAN - SEASON THREE" CAPTAIN BOMBARDIER custom action figure created by Elias


For our first fully sculpted project of 2025, we’ve created Captain Bombardier played by Jack Black!  This action figure was a commission, so unfortunately we won’t be keeping it, but it was so much fun to bring to life!

The base of this figure was a Movie Heroes Series Jek Porkins.  I had to sand away every feature of the flight suit, and sculpt the New Republic Captain uniform.  I sculpted the head in ZBrush studying several pictures of Jack Black so I could really capture his likeness.  Likeness is a very subtle thing, and even the smallest difference can keep your sculpt from conveying the identity of your subject, but in the end I think I captivated the cheer of Mr. Black.
