Luke Sprywalker is a great ambassador for the Star Wars customizing community and we here at
Customs for the Kid are looking forward to hearing him appear on
RebelForce Radio.
Luke Sprywalker is an excellent representative for the art form. He has been displaying his custom creations since 2008 and has put out some awesome action figures. He does a
lot of vehicle and diorama work too.
Sprywalker even created the characters for a photo novel called
Star Wars Apocalypse written by
Nate Ciurla aka
Kessel Run Imports and with graphic design and action figures created by
Julian Maurice aka Hangarbay94.
Luke Sprywalker has had his hands in every aspect of action figure art. He is always there to
offer encouragement to the newer custom action figure artists and is there to support
the veteran's as well. He creates a super positive environment around
him wherever he goes and he's always there to lend a helping hand to
those in need of customizing advice. I couldn't think of any customizer more suited to get some air time on
RebelForce Radio than this seasoned artist. Can't wait to hear him interviewed by
Jimmy MacInerney (Jimmy Mac) and
Jason Swank on their
RebelForce Radio podcast.
"I decided I wanted to make the character Sam Witwer voices in Smuggler's Gambit radio drama. I am a huge fan of Sam's, since the release of the Force Unleashed. I wanted the figure to feature sleek tight lines, not bulked up like many of my other figures. I also wanted to go a little bold with color choices for his clothing. It is mentioned that he wears mostly black so I wanted to stick to the description but add interest. When modifying the GI Joe head sculpt I added a small scar to show he had been around the block. Since Sam also plays Starkiller I threw in a few homages to those designs. I wanted him to have several belts, the collar is reminiscent of his Raxus Prime gear cowl, the shoulder armor is a reflection of his training gear design. In the end, other than some resemblance to Sam in the face, I hope it doesn't look like Starkiller, but mildly influenced by his many looks. So on with the show, presenting Ro Kurota, a young spacer just turned bounty hunter with his sights set on Han Solo." - Luke Sprywalker
