"SPIDER MAUL" created by Darth Daddy

This action figure was laying about the house, unfinished for far too long. We are so thankful for our YouTube show with Peak-OB1 Custom Creations called "Customizing The Clone Wars" because it pushes us to complete unfinished projects that we desperately wanted to get done. This was one of those very projects. In our next episodic installment of "Customizing The Clone Wars", I will provide a more detailed explanation of how I produced this action figure in 3.75" scale.

Hidden beneath all the scraps of ProCreate, Green Stuff, and salvaged plastic scraps is part of a B'Omarr Monk action figure that we affixed below a fully-sculpted torso and a one-of-a-kind head that were both handcrafted here at home by Darth Daddy

The sculpt was strategically attached to a hidden articulated limb that was surrounded by plastic strips that were securely held in place with hockey tape cuttings to mimic Maul's bandages. 

The spider body was wrapped in wire, littered with unlimited numbers of plastic cuttings and assorted sculpted pieces that were held in place with model cement, and enthusiastically weathered with cinnamon to age up all of the chaotic paint work that was applied. Props to Elias for painting on Maul's tattoos.

3.75" THE FORCE AWAKENS "GENERAL LEIA ORGANA" Custom Action Figure created by Customs for the Kid

This figure was a team effort to bring to life. Dad modified the head and body of the figure, while I sculpted on her collar and painted her face and vest.  The body we used to make her was from the Star Wars "Dark Horse: Infinites" Action Figure Comic 2-Pack, with the "White Vader and Princess Leia (Sniper)". After we sanded off the pockets below the shoulders on the Sniper body, we cut the circular braid off of the figure and fused it to the head of the Black Series - "Princess Leia Organa" action figure. The soft plastic part of the dress from the Black Series figure was then modified with scissors to make the vest for the new figure. After some minor sculpting and a fresh coat of paint, we added a very much desired figure to the collection and we just love the way she looks.

Super-Articulated "Finn aka FN-2187 in First Order Stormtrooper Armor" created by Customs for the Kid

A few months ago, we made a 5POA version of Finn in his First Order Stormtrooper Armor.  It was a custom that took only a few seconds to create. This time around we put a little more effort into it. Instead of using the 5POA Stormtrooper body as the base figure like we did in our previous effort, this time around we utilized the Black Series super-articulated figure exclusive to Wal-mart to make our latest version of Finn. For this custom, we hollowed out the Stormtrooper helmet so it would fit over Finn's head, and painted the bloody handprint on.  To make the head from a Black Series Finn fit onto the Stormtrooper body, we just had to reduce the size of the neck peg to accommodate the head. We like this action figure a great deal more.

Since Finn barely participated in the battle of Jakku, and refrained from even firing off his blaster, we decided to not weather the armor on the figure.
