CUSTOMIZER SPOTLIGHT #50: "STAR WARS REBELS" ACTION FIGURE BLEACHER KIT by THANK THE MAKER

Yesterday, we received a surprise package in the mail from our good friend Thank The Maker and we couldn't believe what we found inside the box.  Back in August, we did a feature on Thank The Maker's super cool Action Figure Bleacher Kits.  He painted up a few of the kits to to show how customizable these sets were. All of them were quite stunning, and really showcased what an impressive painter Thank The Maker is. 

His Star Wars: Rebels inspired bleacher especially caught our eye.  From the Sabine inspired paint scheme and taggings, to the sleeping quarters of Zeb and Ezra built into the right side of the stand, so much thought and planning went into this amazing work of art.  It's truly incredible. It made a great birthday even better! We loved it so much we spent the rest of the day rearranging all the display shelves in my room just to accommodate it, and boy it was so worth it! The Rebels shelf in my room looks amazing. 

The next day we have free, we are going to do an updated video to show everything we have on my shelves so stay tuned!

A HUGE THANK YOU TO THANK THE MAKER!

CUSTOMS FOR THE KID - THE STAR WARS DAY TOUR

Hello everyone, Happy Star Wars Day!  Today we thought we'd do something really special to celebrate our love of Star Wars.  A Star Wars party at our house.  A behind the scenes look at where the blog is created.  

We thought it would be cool if our audience saw how simple our facilities here are and that it doesn't take a fancy workshop to make something really cool.  

We also threw together a video slideshow featuring a small selection of our work that includes super easy custom action figures that are great projects for a beginner customizer through to more complex sculpted figures for the advanced veterans.  

The YouTube version of the slideshow is a bit muddier than the high definition Animoto version we posted below, but the behind the scenes footage is only available on the YouTube video.  The YouTube video also features a quick thank you from Dad to Vanessa Marshall who will be voicing Hera Syndulla on Disney's Star Wars: Rebels this fall on Disney XD!  She gave Dad's Bo Katan custom action figure a shout out on Twitter and it totally made Dad's weekend.

For a high definition version of our video slideshow PLAY THIS VIDEO.
