"THE CLONE WARS" BOUNTY HUNTER - ASSAJ VENTRESS created by Elias of "Customs for the Kid"

I can't tell you how very proud I am of my most recent custom action figure commission. It turned out to be one of my more special creations. A few years ago I was asked to make a similar Assaj Ventress based on her appearance in the novel "Dark Disciple" based on the concept art from the unreleased Clone Wars episodes. I was very fond of that commission because she was paired with her beau Quinlan Vos. The set was recently featured at San Diego Comic Con in the Summer of 2024. The last time I made her I made molds of her lightsaber, head and Nightsister bow. Being able to just make new casts was a real time saver.  Just as I was wrapping up this commission one of my repeat customers requested that I make this very same figure. I was immediately thankful that I let my Dad talk me into molding the torso and gauntlets from this figure so we can make this figure of Assaj Ventress for our own collections one day. Now I can save even more time not ever having to sculpt the torso and gauntlets again too. The sculpt pn this figure can be extremely time consuming so streamlining the process is so helpful. 

Our client provided us with the helmet sold by Syndicate Customs.

I am really excited to post this Ventress action figure a week after we finished watching "Tales of the Underworld" on May the 4th. Sorry we didn't have her ready on time. 

The base of this figure was a TCW Assaj Ventress action figure and we used TCW Cad Bane elbows to add some additional articulation. Her boots were hand sculpted. In fact the entire figure was 100 % hand sculpted and then later casted for strength and flexibility. The only piece we didn't sculpt was Ventress' helmet. I used a magnet to attach the Nightsister bow to Ventress' back. 

Both the bow and torso were cast in Smooth-Cast 61D to prevent breakage. The head was cast in Smooth-Cast 321.

The hand painting was the most painstaking part of the process. Her tabard took a toll on me, but I couldn't be happier with the results.
