DARK ACOLYTE

A good fun custom doesn't always take tons of paint or a pot of boiling water. It may take a minute of Dremel action on a Blackbeard Pirates of the Caribbean head, but if you take that head and pop it onto the body of the Rancor keeper and throw on a painted plastic Jedi robe, you can get one fun custom.

Dad had to post. He loves his routine of posting a figure a week.

BACKSTORY
Jedi Master Boesaan fought valiantly during the Clone Wars but later joined Sora Bulq and Quinlan Vos among Count Dooku's dark acolytes. He died quite soon after his conversion. His death is a mystery and his body was never found.

Dad Gets a Rest

Lately Dad has been laboring away working on a speeder bike for the March 2011 Build Your Own Mini-Rig Contest over at Imperial Shipyards. Dad just finished his submission if you want to take a look.

So while Dad was busy with that, I was keeping busy too with a kitbash custom that I made of a Weequay female that can now be found in my Chalmun's Cantina display at home. I made her from a Leesub Sirlin and the Vintage Wequay Skiff Guard that can be found hitting stores everywhere now. Hope you like her.

The Force Is Strong With Him!

Dad and I came across this post on Action Figure Empire and we asked if we could post it on our blog too! Once I saw a fellow Star Wars collector who shared my name and who was in need of my assistance, I jumped at the chance to offer a hand. The original post appears below:



Today I want to turn this blog's attention to the story of a young Star Wars action figure collector named Eli. Eli is madly passionate about all things Star Wars and Star Wars toys. He's an outgoing little guy with a great big smile and he's also into arts and crafts, and World War 2. Eli is has been diagnosed with a rare life-threatening disease called Severe Aplastic Anemia, a disease of the bone marrow. Severe Aplastic Anemia also affects the immune system making it difficult for those who have it to be out in public. You can imagine how this makes it hard to get out and do things, visit with people, or even shop for Star Wars toys. We here at Action Figure Empire call for your support for young Eli, a fan, and a collector who needs all the support he can get right now. We ask that you donate one or more, Star Wars toys of any kind to Eli. You can Include a message of your own to Eli if you wish as well. Eli will be delighted to receive your generous donations. Please send them to:

Action Figure Empire
114 Oak Street Apt. D
Maybrook, NY 12543

From there we at AFE will then forward your generous donations to Eli. AFE is proud to create and participate in the official Toys for Eli Toy Drive. Please take a moment to contribute to Eli's Star Wars action figure collection. Every donation you give helps!

We give the Official Action Figure Empire Salute to Eli and his family.

Thank you for reading this and thank you so much for your donations!

May The Force Be With You All!
