Custom Star Wars Action Figure Showcase & Interview with Elias of "Customs for the Kid"

Elias' Action Figure Showcase without the Interview

"Braconnor Bakiska aka Fu Manchu" created by Darth Daddy

Braconnor Bakiska was a male of the Stennes species who lived during the time of the Galactic Civil War. During the year 0 BBY, Bakiska was present in Chalmun's Spaceport Cantina, located in Mos Eisley on the planet Tatooine. Braconnor Bakiska was sitting inside the entrance to the cantina when the former moisture farmer Luke Skywalker and the Jedi Master Obi-Wan Kenobi came to the cantina looking for a pilot to take them to the planet Alderaan. During that time, Bakiska sat at a table with the Defel Arleil Schous, the Advozsec Bom Vimdin, the Arconan Hem Dazon, and the Siniteen Pons Limbic. Some fan somewhere came up with the moniker, “Fu Manchu” for this guy, based on his rather unimpressive mustache dangling from his upper lip. 

We sculpted down a Firespeeder Pilot (Battle of Coruscant) action figure from the Saga Collection with a Dremel to remove all of the strapping and reduce the size of the head peg.  After we painted the hood from the Sandstorm Luke Skywalker action figure to recreate the character's wardrobe for this one.  The head is a cast of a sculpt that I was fortunate enough to acquire from a close friend. All we had to do was paint the head to complete the figure.

ROGUE ONE "CASSIAN ANDOR - IMPERIAL DISGUISE" created by Darth Daddy

Producing this action figure only required a quick head swap, and a small modification to the rank insignia.  If you are looking for a fast custom of a highly desired figure, than this one is for you.  The body is from a Legacy Collection - Captain Lorth Needa, the hat was from the Comic Pack - Luke Skywalker, and the head was from The Black Series - Cassian Andor action figure.  Once you reduce the rank insignia badge with an X-acto knife and paint the last square blue, all you have to do is swap the head out. My Needa was missing his hat so I used the one from the Luke.  Not sure if Needa's hat fits well on the Cassian Andor head so you may have to experiment at home with that one.  If you are having trouble making it fit, we can say for sure that the Luke's does.
