CUSTOMIZER SPOTLIGHT #10: starwarsgeek171

Hello everyone. Yes, I know it has been a while since we have posted one of these. We have been waiting for responses from customizers for some of the action figures we are still waiting to post, but today I am happy to present starwarsgeek171 and his Tantive IV Co-Pilot.

starwarsgeek171 has been a seller on ebay since 2004. His Tantive IV Co-Pilot looks great next to my Jeremoch Colton action figure. Together I have them both flying my vintage Rebel Fleet Transport Ship.

Dad's Jedi Action Figure Featured On IMPERIAL SHIPYARDS

Dad definitely puts a lot of work into his custom action figures, so I was really happy for him when his new Jedi was posted on the home page of Imperial Shipyards. Way to go, Dad!!

Head over and check it out:

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.

KEL DOR SLAVE TRADER

Dad made this custom action figure from the head of a Clone Wars Plo Koon, an Episode 3 Ask Aak, and the feet of an Elis Helrot. Slave trading was big in Star Wars and we realized we didn't have any slave traders in my collection. This Kel Dor Slave Trader was strong in the Force and used his telepathic mind control powers to keep his slaves subservient. He carried his neuronic whip more for show and intimidation, but that doesn't mean he wasn't good with it. His whip was practically an extension of himself.

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!
