"THE LOST MISSIONS" FIVES (CORUSCANT CLUB DISGUISE) VERSION 2 created by Elias

This is the second version of Fives in his Coruscant Club disguise. We recently redid the action figure at the request of Corey Van Dyke from Kessel Run Transmissions. I had already made an Ahsoka Tano in her Seige of Mandalore armor and a Season 7 version of Obi-Wan Kenobi when this figure was added to the list. It was a quick and easy custom to make. I just used the body of a Phase II Clone Trooper action figure with a Clone headcast we made. A while back Dad made this enormous mold of every Clone Wars clone head ever produced. It always comes in handy for projects like these. After making the cast, I painted it so it had Fives head tattoo, scar and goatee. Then we painted a modified Imperial Officer cap from the Juno Eclipse action figure to finish the figure. You need to make a pizza wedge slice into the back of her cap and re-glue the edges back together to make it fit Fives head nice and tight. Before painting, feel free to sculpt a thin layer over the cut to hide it once the glue dries.

"JEDI YOUNGLINGS" created by Customs for the Kid (PART TWO)

Ever since we started this project it has been racing toward completion. It felt like every time we completed a new figure, we became so excited with what we had produced that we couldn't wait to get another action figure started and finished.  We were customizing maniacs every free moment we had. We were able to finish the entire project in less than 3 weeks which is unheard of for us. Usually it takes us months to create six, 100% sculpted figures. A real passion for the project and loads of teamwork were the key to the project's quick completion. We put in about seven, 10-12 hour workdays by the time we finished it up.

The workload was divided up fairly evenly. Dad sculpted out Byph by himself and did most of Zatt. I asked to sculpt Zatt's face and his two outer tentacles. I had something specific in mind and Dad said "go for it". I also added some subtle highlights to the figure before the paint was sealed. I sculpted Petro's head and upper torso, while Dad sculpted the arms and added articulation to the elbows and wrists. Dad also sculpted everything on Petro from the belt on down. We both shared the paint on Petro. The only thing Dad did on Katooni was shorten her arms, while showing me how to maintain the original articulation. The rest of Katooni was all me. I also did all the work there was to be done on Ganodi. With Gungi, Dad built out his body and then we split up the sculpting throughout. Gungi ended up being my first 100% sculpted head.

We were hoping to have had the parts here so Huyang could have been posed here with the rest of the bunch, but the shipping has been delayed and we don't have a clear arrival date. Therefore, Huyang will just get his own post on the blog at some future date. It is likely Huyang's big reveal will be on "Customizing The Clone Wars" when we discuss the Youngling arc, so stay tuned when the episode drops!

CLONE WARS "OLD DAKA" created by Elias

Happy Halloween! 

Although this figure was finished over the weekend, we felt it would be best to post a Nightsister witch today, due to her ghoulish ability to raise the dead. "Massacre" was one of the most action packed episodes from The Clone Wars TV series due to the sorcery of Old Daka. When we saw the episode for the first time, this character was immediately on our radar as a character we knew we needed to make as an action figure. We only wish it didn't take us so long to get to her, but now that she is done, we couldn't be happier!

Daka, also known as Old Daka, was an elderly Nightsister who lived on Dathomir during the Clone Wars. Mother Talzin regarded her as the "oldest and wisest" member of the Nightsisters. Daka was skilled in many magicks, including the ability to resurrect the dead. Daka was killed when General Grievous stabbed her with a lightsaber during the Battle of Dathomir.[3]

This figure was a 100% sculpted action figure. A skeleton was created from a the arms and upper torso of a Clone Wars Luminara Unduli action figure, a chopped lower skirt of an AOTC Lama Su action figure and the head of a casted Clone Wars Darth Sidious action figure. Once the frame was assembled ProCreate was used to sculpt onto the skeleton to create the likeness of Old Daka.

CLONE WARS "QUEEN MIRAJ SCINTEL & CONVOR" created by Elias

Miraj Scintel was a female Zygerrian who served as the Queen of Zygerria during the Clone Wars. Seeking to rebuild the Zygerrian Slave Empire that was shut down by the Jedi Knights of the Old Republic, Scintel allied Zygerria with the Confederacy of Independent Systems. She was betrayed by her Prime Minister, Atai Molec and then killed by Count Dooku.

We've been wanting this character added to our action figure collection for years now. Every time we looked at our display shelf full of scum and villainy that appeared on The Clone Wars, we always felt there was a gaping hole without her there beside all our other custom creations.

To make this action figure, I used a Clone Wars Assaj Ventress action figure. We replaced her lower legs with the boots of a Clone Wars Shaak Ti, and the hands with the hands from a Clone Wars Aurra Sing. From there the action figure was completely re-sculpted to match Queen Miraj's appearance in the show. The head was 3D designed in Blender, printed on our SLA printer and painted before being added to the rest of the figure.

Both the Convor and the hilt of her electro-whip were fabricated by hand and sculpted in ProCreate. The yellow electricity was taken from a Comic Pack Lumiya action figures accessory.

Now that she is done, one more hole on our display shelf has been filled and we can't wait to fill the next one ;)
