Undercover Galactic Detectives

When Dad created these two action figures, he said he had the TV show Miami Vice in mind. He wanted to create a team of undercover detectives to shake up the Star Wars criminal underground.

These two figures just required quick head swaps and very little paint application to complete.
Willrow Hood's head got modified to give him a more intimidating look.

Lucasclones ADDED TO "CUSTOMS I WISH I OWNED"

Lucasclones is a customizer of mostly custom Star Wars clone and Mandalorian action figures. He particularly favors ARC troopers and has been alongside fellow customizer Wraithnine creating some Republic commando squads. He is very proud of his Clone Wars style Delta and Omega squad from the Republic Commando novels. His work can be found on Imperial Shipyards custom figure Forums and on Flickr, as well as featured in his videos from Youtube. He also customizes G.I.Joe figures and posts them on his Flickr photostream and on a G.I.Joe fan website called Joedios. We also recommend visiting his new podcast with Imperial Shipyards administrator Tamer called Custom Action Figure News.

VADER'S CLONES: STILL SHOTS

Ok. By now you probably watched the video, but if you are viewing our page from a mobile device or an Ipad, you may not have been able to watch it. As a remedy, we thought it best to display a few pictures of the figures so no one misses out.

Here's Dad's action figures of Darth Vader's Clones which he has now finally completed. These two action figures were posted before as works in progress and then in a video in their completed form. Now Dad has added his finishing touches by sculpting embellishments on the Apprentice's clothing with Apoxie Sculpt and painting the action figure in different shades of black. Vader's Clones are now ready for the unveiling.

BACKSTORY

Palpatine being the opportunist that he is, saw an opportunity to clone Anakin Skywalker when he was injured on Mustafar. Hoping that the power of the Chosen One was hidden somewhere in his DNA, Palpatine saw his chance to clone Skywalker as one not to be missed. Knowing that Skywalker's injury would prevent Vader from ever reaching his full potential as a Sith, Palpatine hoped that one day one of these clones would replace Lord Vader at his side as his new Sith apprentice once their training was complete. Due to several complications in the cloning process, only one clone was known to successfully complete the cloning process and be trained by Palpatine. The clone that was trained later destroyed the facility where Vader was being replicated knowing it would be his best chance for domination and survival, but not before he took a clone for himself to train as an apprentice. Ironically, the destruction of the cloning facility did not go as planned and both clones took heavy injuries in their escape. Both of their lungs were completely damaged and they, like Vader were forced to breath with the assistance of filtered air. Unlike Vader, they still had their limbs and thus had the ability to use Force lightening. When Palpatine and Darth Vader were killed over the moon of Endor, these clones survived in exile waiting to unleash the power of the Darkside once more.
