Dad Makes Me a Jan Ors

Happy New Year everybody!! For our first post of 2011, we are going to show a custom action figure Dad made of Jan Ors. A lot of other customizers have made her, and the reason why they have is because you can't really enjoy playing with the Hasbro versions of Kyle Katarn if you don't have a Jan Ors by his side.

__________

Jan Ors was an Alderaanian intelligence operative who began her work as an agent for the terrorist organization Justice Action Network. As the undercover agent Jan Strange, she then shifted to helping the Alliance to Restore the Republic, becoming one of their trusted operatives.

Ors was instrumental in recruiting Kyle Katarn to the Alliance and together they worked on many missions for the Alliance and later the New Republic. The two would later become romantically involved. Ors continued her work for the New Republic by joining Alpha Blue, a secret intelligence organization, that she eventually took over from Hiram Drayson. There she worked for the Galactic Federation of Free Alliances against the Yuuzhan Vong.

When Dad made his Jan Ors, he didn't try to make her look exactly the way she did in the comics, replicating every detail and piece of clothing, but rather tried to capture the essence of who she was. Anyway, here she is.

Unfortunately, I can't account for every piece used in this action figure. I know the head is a Bultar Swan from the Comic pack, the legs are from a Han Solo action figure although I'm not sure which one, the weapon is a welding torch from a POTF Chewbacca, and the goggles I think came from a G.I. Joe action figure. The torso and arms we grabbed from our fodder bag, and it's actually my favorite piece of the action figure. Anyone who can identify it I'd really like to know who it's from, too.

RED TACTICAL DROID

Dad's made this red Tactical Droid over this summer, but we weren't able to post it because it was packed away with my Separatist droid army. We set up my droid army today so we thought it was the perfect time to do the post.

OUR GOAL:

We are hoping that one day our site will one day become an enormous directory where you can locate an unimaginable amount of Star Wars customizers whenever you look to our "Customs I Wish I Owned" page.



Dad recently made our blog my homepage and I love how it meets all my Star Wars needs. The Star Wars links are awesome!!

Jedi

Dad made this custom Jedi last week. This Jedi is a amphibious humanoid that was taken by the Jedi from a remote planet that had never been exposed to outsiders. Shortly after he was taken to be trained at the Jedi Temple, his planet was destroyed and he is now known to be the last of his kind.

His head was constructed from Mace Windu and the head decoration was made with a Stass Allie head. The body was an Obi Wan Kenobi, but most of the character's uniqueness comes from Dad's cool paint application.

Secret Santa: Take 1

So Dad and I recently entered ourselves in the Secret Santa over at Yakface.com. It looked like loads of fun and if any of you customizers haven't been involved, I would definitely recommend doing so in in the future. Dad painted a C-3PO protocol droid with Christmas colors and finished this action figure last week. On Tuesday, we found out who we had to send the figure to and Dad realized that this customizer had an affection for a certain type of figure. So yesterday, in the spirit of Christmas, Dad made a brand new figure that he thinks will fit this customizer's tastes. I guess that means I get to keep Dad's Christmas droid. An early Christmas for me!

Blind Jedi Padawan

Dad made this custom after I went to bed last night. He's not crazy about it, but I like it a lot! I love the lightsaber staff.
