When my client ordered Duchess Zilla, he also requested her companion, Bombardier! I recently just completed my first version of Captain Bombardier, but the client only wanted him. Shortly after, I got the commission for both of them. I was happy with The Duchess, and my first Bombardier, but I never got to see them together. I am happy to finally be able to unite these two characters in action figure form.
My recipe for Captain Bombardier was exactly the same as it was on my first version, a Movie Heroes Jek Porkins and my own original headsculpt. The Jek Porkins was heavily altered with a Dremel and hand sculpting with Green Stuff. This time I assembled his gold cape using a sewing machine. It was a bit more challenging to work this small with a machine, but I feel that the final product came out faster and more durable.
While their appearance in The Mandalorian was controversial, I wanted to give this project my all. I appreciated the opportunity to depict the more opulent side of the galaxy, and no matter how you feel about the characters, we hope you can appreciate the craftsmanship behind these action figures.
