"DAN OF THE DEAD" VIDEO GETS AN UPDATE

Just updated DAN OF THE DEAD's video on our "Customs I Wish Owned" page. The work of DAN OF THE DEAD was also featured in one of our earlier videos that Dad had made and he too has been really busy customizing since the original video was created. Like Luke Sprywalker, Dad was introduced to DAN OF THE DEAD when he started to post his first action figures on Yakface.com. Dad was heavily influenced by Yak_Chewie, Luke Sprywalker and DAN OF THE DEAD when he was learning how to customize. The Yakface community was extremely supportive as we created this blog. We here at "Customs for the Kid" want to make sure the original customizers who helped establish the audience to our blog stay just as fresh as our newest additions. Therefore, we will try and make these older videos more current as we keep moving forward. DAN OF THE DEAD is our latest updated video and suffice to say with all his new material, it's even better than the last one.

DAN OF THE DEAD

DAN OF THE DEAD's action figures speak for themselves. Who wouldn't want these action figures? He always takes great photos of his action figures and gets an A+ in presentation. We love the occasional backstory that is attached to his figures and he also provides recipes for the action figures he creates. Not only is he an ace when it comes to customizing, but he's an accomplished blogger too. So after you check out this video make sure you take a spin over to his blog when it's done.

"LUKE SPRYWALKER" VIDEO GETS AN UPDATE

Just updated Luke Sprywalker's video on our "Customs I Wish Owned" page. He was only the second video Dad ever made and Sprywalker has been really busy since it was created so we wanted to try and make his video more current. Luke Sprywalker has so many cool customs. He keeps putting out inspirational pieces one after another. Definitely one of our favorite customizers.

Luke Sprywalker hails from another father and son customizing team. He has been displaying his customs since 2008 and has put out some great action figures. He did some really nice customs of the Rogue Squadron that are top notch and his speeder bike and Mandalorian is one of the best customs we've ever seen.

Jesus Wasn't the Only One Who Rose from the Dead on Easter!

Dad and I were just playing and we came up with a fun way to diversify our Zombie Geonosians. The limbs all pop apart very easily and the sockets were all the same size so we made a few Geonosian abominations to spice up our play.

The Rodian Band - The Family Easter Project

This was a really fun project that Dad and I worked on together. I had a bunch of Rodian heads in our fodder box and had the idea to make a Rodian band and added a human female dancer to round out the mix. I did the kitbashing and Dad used some Apoxie Sculpt, a few fodder pieces and paint to differentiate them and make them stand out as individuals.


BACKSTORY
The Rodian Band were well known street musicians that could be found in Mos Eisley on Tatooine. A colorful bunch that could be found in the cantina after a long day spending their hard earned credits.

THE RODIAN BAND

created by Elias and Darth Daddy

Captain Ryll, the band leader, could have been a huge star if it wasn't for spending all his profits on glitterstim. By the time he was performing on the streets of Tatooine, his ship had sailed and fame was no longer within his reach. He really loved his hat made of Wookiee fur that was quickly becoming the new up and coming fashion trend.

Blind Bob was a blind kloo horn player and longtime friend of Captain Ryll.

Dad modified the holster on the Greedo action figure so it could hold the drumsticks.

The human dancer Famligletti was a slave since childhood. She was won in a bet by Captain Ryll. His last dancer disappeared under mysterious circumstances and she filled the position at just the right time. Some people say Captain Ryll rigged the bet.

We painted everyone in Easter pastels.



Pinkeeata was Captain Ryll's girlfriend and co-founder of the band. They constantly fight, but Ryll knows that there are few people that can play the ommni box as well as she does, so he just always does what he can to keep her happy for the sake of the band.

Although Captain Ryll loves to bang the drum he prefers to stick to his bandfill on most of the group's songs.
