Twi'lek Slythmonger



This Twi'lek was a medical student on Coruscant with classmate Elan Sel'Sabagno and he peddled a highly powerful and sought after hallucinogen that he himself created for the clientele of gangster Hat Lo. He was later arrested and spent a considerable amount of time being incarcerated on the Imperial prison barge the Purge. Fortunately for him he was released before the events chronicled in Joe Schreiber's novel Death Troopers.

To create this action figure, Dad reshaped and resculpted a head from some fodder that we had. Dad changed the slope of the head, and added a brow. He also smoothed several rough edges that were found along the head and filled in several cracks and holes that the head had with some Apoxie Sculpt. He then repainted the head and placed it on a CW El-Les action figure body that he also repainted.

The green vials contained the creation of the Twi'lek slythmonger. He could be found selling them in the Outlander Club on Coruscant.

N-5VL SURVIVAL DROID


N-5VL was a Noah class protocol droid and he was designed with more in mind than just providing his services as a translator. These protocol droids were used in exploration throughout remote regions not yet explored. They were the most advanced protocol droids available. Their construction was made from the finest materials. Designed with endurance and durability in mind. And when it came to their programming, these droids contained all the knowledge of the known galaxy. These droids were known for being noble warriors that were greatly affected by the information they contained.

This droid was also known to be a favorite companion among those fearful of future apocalyptic times. Of course, you would need a substantial amount of credits at your disposal to have one. Not a lot of these droids were made, but an exact number for the amount produced is not known.

He has been customizing for over two years now and he has created some really well executed pieces of art. But don't take our word for it, check it out yourself. We're sure you'll be impressed.

Custom Action Figure News - Episode 20: Psyclone Customs (1st Half)






Well things don't always go as planned and sometimes machines do not work properly either. Psyclones Customs was the latest guest to be interviewed, but unfortunately equipment malfunctioning prevented the entire show from being recorded. The 1st half of the episode was salvaged and Scott has already agreed to go another round to finish the job. It might turn out to be a blessing in disguise as he will probably end up with another hour long show and Shawn will get to ask him more in depth about some things we could not get to due to time. Listen and enjoy as Scott talks about scratch building with styrene and his awesome commandos and so on.

A CUSTOM BY THE KID

Here's one that I made. Dad has me practicing on my painting technique. I tried to paint some tattoos on her arms and back and added soft goods to a Greeata action figure. She was bald in our fodder bin so I just asked Dad to make her a mohawk for me using his Apoxie Sculpt.
