THE LAST JEDI "MASTER CODEBREAKER" created by Darth Daddy

This action figure of the Master Codebreaker from The Last Jedi was my birthday present today from my Dad. It is a 100% sculpted action figure. The base head was from a completely resculpted Revenge Of The Sith Obi-Wan Kenobi action figure head. The body was the Return Of The Jedi Vintage Collection Luke Skywalker (Endor) action figure that Dad sculpted onto with Procreate. I love that Dad even made his silver and gold dice to throw.


THE LAST JEDI 
"MASTER CODEBREAKER" 
created by Darth Daddy


"The Master Codebreaker was a human male codebreaker who was sought out by Rose Tico and Finn on a mission to stop the First Order's flagship, the Supremacy, from tracking the Resistance through hyperspace.

Master Codebreaker was somewhat known by Maz Kanata, who sent the pair after him while they were desperate for someone of his talents. When they finally spotted him in the Canto Casino in Canto Bight, they attempted to run up to him, but were apprehended by the Canto Bight Police Department for illegally parking their starship on the beach. Master Codebreaker's companion, "Lovey," asked him about the disturbance, and he responded that he thought it was of little consequence.[1]

Master Codebreaker was only known by his title, and kept his original identity a secret. However, he once posted all of his personal information to a public node, encrypted by biohexacrypt, and anybody who uncovered the information was welcome to take his mantle. However, nobody was known to have retrieved the information.[2]

At the Canto Casino, Master Codebreaker was only allowed to play dice games, and he was forbidden from electronic entertainment.[2]

Matching his levels of secrecy, the Codebreaker's companion kept her real name hidden from him, and he only referred to her as "Lovey".[2]

He regularly wore a brooch in the shape of a red flower, a plom bloom, pinned on his lapel of his white tux jacket, which Maz told Finn and Rose about as an identifying mark. On the day he was sought out by the pair, he was sporting a thin black mustache.[1]

Justin Theroux's cheeky cameo is a direct callback to two of the suavest men to ever grace the silver screen; James Bond and Indiana Jones.


The get-up was originally worn by Sean Connery's 007 in Goldfinger. When Spielberg and Lucas were crafting their follow-up to Raiders of the Lost Ark, they decided to throw in an homage to Goldfinger, by having Harrison Ford's professor also sporting the same look in Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom.

3.75" "VICE ADMIRAL AMILYN HOLDO" custom action figure created by ELIAS

Amilyn Holdo was a human female from the planet Gatalenta. In her youth, Holdo served in the Apprentice Legislature of the Imperial Senate, where she became acquainted with Princess Leia Organa of Alderaan. During her time in the Apprentice Legislature, Holdo became friends with Organa, who confided with her about involvement with the rebellion against the Galactic Empire.

By the year 34 ABY, Holdo became a Vice Admiral in Organa's Resistance during its war with the First Order, and was given command of the cruiser Ninka. Taking overall command of the Resistance after the deaths of most of the commanders and Organa's incapacitation, Holdo devised a plan to save the remaining personnel by evacuating them on transports while she stayed behind on the command ship to draw attention away from them.

When the transports came under fire, Holdo piloted the heavy cruiser Raddus into position and jumped to lightspeed through Supreme Leader Snoke's flagship, the Mega-class Star Destroyer Supremacy. Her sacrifice allowed the remaining transports to reach the planet Crait, where they subsequently escaped to fight another day.

This was a 100% sculpted action figure made mostly from Procreate, Aves Fixit and Green Stuff. Even the blaster was custom made.

I chose to avoid using soft goods on the figure after seeing Hasbro's 6" action figure version of the character.
