Darth Daddy's Customizing Corner featured Star Wars custom action figures inspired by "Star Wars: The Force Awakens" in his latest post over at The Star Wars Underworld.

By now, I assume that most of you have seen the "Star Wars: The Force Awakens" teaser that was released last Friday. Already Star Wars customizers have created some really awesome toys from the small number of scenes we we were able to view.
Last week, I showcased two such customs created by the artist Rundown who made a "Jedi Luke Skywalker" and "Robot Arm Chewbacca" based on information released in rumored plot leaks around the web.

While searching for more customs from The Force Awakens, I found another Luke Skywalker custom action figure for sale on eBay. This one was made my echo3customs. I've been really enjoying the different versions of Luke Skywalker looking as he would thirty years in the future. He's been the character I've seen made the most since the movie was announced. The variations on him are endless.

Right after I finished putting this feature together I saw that my friend in the UK, Colin Hobbs made a cool custom action figure of the X-wing pilot we saw in the trailer. Colin had taken a short break from customizing Star Wars figures, so I was really excited to see this prolific artist back at it.

My favorite custom from the new teaser has to be Chris Hooton's Speeder Bike. Completely hand crafted, this stunning piece has very nicely done paint applications complete with a very cool action figure of Daisy Ridley's character in the film. I'd love to own this piece!

All of you that are fortunate enough to own a 3D printer are truly lucky today. Artist lilykill has posted a free 3D print file so that you can make your very own BB-8 Droid. Just print it out and add paint. I really wish I had a 3D printer right now!

Customizer Brandon Flores aka HALCION also made impressive versions of the Speeder Bike with Rey, as well as the BB-8 Droid too. He even did a 6" version of the Sith revealed in the trailer. I was really excited to get a glimpse of these new elements being introduced to the Star Wars universe and even more excited to see my peers hard at work bringing the images we viewed to life in plastic.

The last figure I'll put on display is Joshua Todd Jensen's Sith sporting a new lightsaber design that has been getting mixed reactions from fans. I'm curious to see how the lightsaber is used in combat. Until then, I'll save my judgment.

What excites me most is that we still have a trailer that is yet to be released, as well as a new Star Wars installment right behind it! I can't wait to see what cool things customizers make between now and then.
