Imperial Shipyards Announces a New Custom Action Figure Contest - Ultimate Action Figure Build Off!





Announcing the Ultimate Action Figure Build Off! That is right, Imperial Shipyard's upcoming contest is sure to challenge everyone to go all in. Pick your favorite character from any verse and make the ultimate version of them. Take a look at Sideshow or Hot Toys figures with multiple hands, alternate head sculpts, lots of accessories and so on. They also want to see a small base or mini diorama made to compliment the figure. 3 3/4 inch figures only to maintain a level playing field. This must be an all new creation so no figures that have been seen before on the web even in WIP stage. The contest starts June 20, 2013 and ends July 20, 2013.You are allowed to enter 6 photos in this contest thread. They will create a voting thread when the event ends and you will have to choose 1 photo to upload to the voting thread with your name and the name of the figure, nothing else. We're hoping to see some Star Wars figures in there, so have fun. Your imagination is your only limitation!

CLONE WARS "IONE MARCY" created by Darth Daddy

Dad sculpted this Ione Marcy over the last few days to compliment a Cassie Cryar custom action figure that was created by Peakob1 and has been sitting in my collection for over a year now .  Both figures are from the Clone Wars "Lightsaber Lost" episode and Dad felt that you really can't have one figure without the other since they worked as a team.

Ione Marcy was a female criminal who lived during the Clone Wars. She and Cassie Cryar, her partner-in-crime, engaged in many illegal activities, which included the theft of Jedi Padawan Ahsoka Tano's lightsaber and the murder of Nack Movers, a Trandoshan assassin. Searching for the stolen lightsaber, Tano and Cosian Jedi MasterTera Sinube, who wanted to help her, interrogated Bannamu, the pickpocket who originally took the lightsber, and discovered he had sold it to Movers. When the Jedi arrived at Mover's apartment, they found Marcy, who hid Cryar in the next room and posed as an innocent bystander. However, Cryar was found by Tano and tried to utilize the lightsaber, but was unable to turn it on, and so escaped through the window, and was chased by Tano through Coruscant. Meanwhile, at the apartment, Sinube, who began to question Marcy's innocence, secretly planted a tracking beacon on her. Upon being accused of the killing and of being the intruder's accomplice by Sinube, Marcy escaped in her airspeeder, and picked up Cryar. The two thieves then made their way to a train station, but were followed there by Tano, Sinube, and police droids, and were arrested.

CUSTOMS FOR THE KID: ON THE WORKBENCH



Work In Progress
Star Wars Custom Action Figures
being created by Darth Daddy


Not much left to do before we reveal these figures that are now on our work bench.  Pong Krell is just waiting for his unignighted folded lightsabers to be sculpted and then he will be ready for paint.  After he's painted he will by shipped to Star Wars customizer Hyperdrive who will be adding soft goods clothing to the Clone Wars General.  Dad just has to finish the headsulpt on Ione Marcy so he can paint her too!  The last guy is a fan fiction and all he needs is a few washes on his hair and face and he'll be off to a proper photo shoot.  Expect to see him this weekend.


Spaceship I'm working on.
