This is a Thank the Maker "Special Edit" with added scenes to replace some of the older ones and some really great subtitles included to spice up some of the original footage. Also listen close when the Strormtroopers show up on screen, you might just hear Brian Fulton aka Darth Daddy of Customs for the Kid and Chad Peak aka Peak-OB1 Custom Creations lending their voice acting talents.
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!
"STAR WARS REBELS"
ACTION FIGURE BLEACHER KIT
by THANK THE MAKER
The sleeping quarters aboard The Ghost was such a cool touch he added to the piece!
Action Figure Bleacher Kits from THANK THE MAKER! It's a kit you put together and paint. There are three different models for purchase, A New Hope, Empire Strikes Back, and Return of the Jedi! Each bleacher can display up to 24 figures comfortably. You can purchase one kit for $55, or get all three kits in a Bundle Pack, knocking off $15 of each kit!
Highly customizable! The possibilities are endless!
Not sure about all of you, but we had to grab a second Jyn Erso action figure from when she was disguised as an Imperial Flight crew member just so we could make this custom version of Jyn. Only a slight helmet modification was needed to show Jyn's face through the helmet like she appeared in the film. Grab your sharpest razor blade and with some parent supervision, slice away the thin bit of rubber to show Jyn's eyes when she wears the helmet.
We grabbed some "Death Star Walls" from a kit that Star Wars customizer, Thank The Maker, recently offered for sale on his eBay page. It's a cheap way to dress up your shelf displays. They are perfect for photo shoots! I have a feeling we'll be using them in many photo shoots to come. We were able to paint and assemble the kit in only a day. It can be a great craft project to entertain kids on a rainy day too! We love these walls for their versatility. You can build them out however you like!
Many of you may know Thank The Maker from the Google Hangout video we did with him on 3-D printed Star Wars toys last year. While we don't very often feature a custom creation in this manner, we felt that this particular piece was noteworthy enough to make an exception. Thank The Maker's Imperial Troop Transport provides all the best playable features that are desired in a toy as well as including some very cool accessories!
Not only does this custom vehicle hit all the right notes in appearance and function, but it also makes one hell of a playset too!
While Hasbro's Rebels version of the vehicle was a nice addition to our collection, after seeing this custom version of the toy, we are left wishing that this was the version we were all able to buy in stores. We have a feeling that this custom vehicle is going to make the rounds in numerous Star Wars fan circles throughout the year. It is just too beautiful to go unnoticed. From the detailed cockpit and removable cargo crates to the coolest prison center since the 1980's G.I. Joe Headquarters Command Center, this custom has it all!
We tip our hats to Thank The Maker for this fabulous work of art!
