BLU JEDI

Dad put some of our Indiana Jones fodder to use to create this Jedi Knight. He cut the neck off one of the Easter Island heads, and mounted it to a Vintage Obi Wan Kenobi torso that he painted. A great way to get a head for a custom when you are running low on heads is to get one wherever you can and this piece of fodder worked like a charm. Dad drilled a whole on the bottom just tight enough to snap onto the neck peg.

BLU JEDI

The Blu Jedi uses a double sided shoto-sized lightsaber blade.

JediMerc Added to "CUSTOMS I WISH I OWNED"

JediMerc is a Star Wars fan going on 28 years. He specializes mainly in 3 3/4 inch action figures. He especially loves customizing main characters from comics and video games in their alternate outfits. Like Dad, he also enjoys creating/customizing characters that would be the "average Joe's" of the Star Wars universe. JediMerc realized he wanted to customize action figures at 7 years old when he used a screwdriver to melt burn marks into a Vintage 8D8 droid, although, he really didn't get heavily into customizing until a year or so ago. Dad says he was a fan of JediMerc's work when only three of his customs were posted in the forums. He said he knew he wanted to feature the work of JediMerc in our "Customs I Wish I Owned" page but he just had to wait until we had enough figures to put a video together and feature his awesome customs. Since posting in the forums JediMerc has already won Luke Sprywalker's "No Paint Kit Bash Contest" over at Imperial Shipyards this past February and we have a feeling that it won't be the last time this customizer is in the spotlight.
