DARTH DADDY'S CUSTOMIZING CORNER: SJEFKE OF YUZZUMS' CUSTOMS
Darth Daddy's Customizing Corner featured Star Wars customizer Sjefke of Yuzzums' Customs in the latest Customizing Corner over at The Star Wars Underworld.
A customizer does not need a large body of work to be a great customizer. My two favorite customs produced this year were made by a relative newcomer to the Star Wars custom action figure community. Jeff Thompson aka Sjefke of Yuzzums' Customs has created some superlative customs since he jumped onto the scene. Sjefke ran right out of the gate making fully sculpted action figures with extremely complex builds that even the most experienced customizers would consider a challenge to reproduce. His Cane Adiss action figure tied my Chukha Trok and Kaink action figures for the Grand Prize at Yakface.com's Yakfinities #50 and when you look at his figure it's easy to see why. Sjefke has some serious talent. Sjefke customizes with and for his kids, and there is no greater incentive to make something cool than being inspired by your own children.
His forum posts describe each build in great detail so if you think you'd ever want to try and rebuild what he has created, Sjefke provides a great step-by-step guide to help his readers along the way.
I'm a huge fan of his Wam "Blam" Lufba action figure. It's by far, one of the best I ever saw. I'd love to have one in my own collection one day.
I can't wait to see what he produces next. I'm always eager to check out his thread whenever I see a new post. He's definitely one of my favorite new customizers on the scene. Be sure to keep an eye out. We will be following his career with great interest!

DARTH DADDY TAKES THE GRAND PRIZE AT YAKFINITIES #50 IN A TIE WITH STAR WARS CUSTOMIZER SJEFKE!
Re: Yakfinities #50 - THE ORIGINAL TRILOGY
Time to announce the Grand Prize Winner(s)!"After a very tough vote, the Yakface Staff could not decide on one single winner. We felt that we had to go with two winners. This was not expected, so we felt it would only be fair to double up on the Grand Prize. So both winners will EACH receive the Droid Factory Wave... and those winners are:
- Cane Adiss by Sjefke
- Ewoks by Darth Daddy
"Great work by both of you, and everyone who took part in Yakfinities
#50! There were quite a few other entries that had consideration for
this too - this was tough! I'm glad that these are usually random prize
winners only!
Everyone else... sit tight! In a couple days we'll conclude with the complete Roundup Report, as well as the 3 RANDOM PRIZE WINNERS." - YAK_Chewie

"Sjefke, if I was one of the judges for this
contest you totally would have taken the prize all by yourself and there
would be no tie. Your Cane Adiss action figure is my pick for Star
Wars custom action figure of the year in 2013! What I wouldn't give to have
that action figure! The amount of articulation you added to that figure
was admirable, just astounding! You should definitely mold
and cast your headsculpts. I really love how you documented your entire process. So much work went into it, and it totally paid off. I tip my
hat.
Can't tell you what an honor it is to win the Grand Prize at Yakfinities #50. I'm on Cloud 9. This is the first forum I ever started showing my figures in and this win will always hold a lot of sentimental value for me. It was #50! How Cool! So many amazing entries from so many talented artists. Can't wait to see the round up report!
I bet you Remco's happy. He owns the winning pair.

*Remco - Makes me feel a little less guilty that I was so late getting those Ewoks done now that they were one of the Yakfinities #50 winning figures. Glad I sent you something prize worthy after all that procrastinating."
