"Customs for the Kid" Celebrates 2 Years of Blogging

It's hard to believe that we have been doing this for so long, but as of today, we have been officially promoting the Star Wars custom action figure community for two years.  We just want to thank everyone for all your visits, comments and feedback.  With visitors from over a hundred different countries, we never thought that what we started at home in our kitchen would have ever grown to be so popular.  Thanks again for your loyal support and please enjoy this video showcasing the year in review. Check out the video below showcasing the action figures that we created in our second year of the blog.

Customizer Spotlight #21: BL4CK5H33P

It's been a long time since we did one of these posts, but it wasn't for a lack of wanting to.  Truth is the archives were deleted due to an interface change on Blogger.  We hit the edit button to update the archives and it was gone with a hit of the button.  So after a month of rebuilding the archives, we have an update.   BL4CK5H33P is a newcomer to the customizing forums, but his action figures look like the work of a veteran.  When we saw a few of his customs for sale, we jumped at the chance to purchase two of our favorite pieces of his.  These figures look great and we recommend checking out his forum thread and sales thread to see if anything calls out to you.  This customizer will be one to watch.

Luke Sprywalker's Jabba Project

Luke Sprywalker is gearing up for Celebration IV and his Jabba Project has been pure eye candy.  This is one that needs to be seen in all it's glory.  I think everyone would want these figures.  They're all just so amazing.  His repaint on Bubo is what really has us floored here at home.  We love the way he painted the eyes.  If you will be attending Celebration IV, be sure to see him speak at the Custom Action Figure Panel along with Sith_fire30 and Sillof.
