JUNO ECLIPSE: REBEL JACKET

I designed this custom action figure a few months ago. Just before we started our blog. I wanted a Juno Eclipse to use when I played with my Rebel Alliance action figures, but as you all know, Hasbro only released her as an Imperial Officer. I knew Juno was the captian of the Rebel ship Salvation, but I wanted Dad to make her in a more action oriented outfit....an outfit Juno would have worn if she got off her Nebulon-B cruiser and had some adventures when she was off the Salvation. Using my directions, Dad painted an extra Juno Eclipse that he had from the Toys R' Us Force Unleashed Battle Pack and he made it just the way I asked him.

He even painted the Rebel sign on the back of Juno's jacket that I had requested. I figured if Juno was a Rebel now, she would definitely be wearing the family crest of her true love.

Tholoth in Evening Dress

With Dad busy putting more work into the "Customs I Wish I Owned" page, he hasn't had the time to work on any of his customs.

So instead of Dad posting one of his customs, I figured I'd post my latest custom.

She's a Tholothian in an evening dress. I made her from a Stass Allie action figure and a Padme Amidalla in the Evening Dress. The fur covering is from a vintage Emperor Palpatine. All I had to do was paint the torso and arms with some help from Dad to keep me in the lines.

We use her as a diorama filler in our Cloud City Casino. She is an old flame of Lando Calrissian.

My Tholoth was just featured on the front page of Imperial Shipyards.
