Human Jedi by Elias

I took a cue from Dad's way of doing figures and decided to make a quick action figure so I could play with my toys more this weekend. I just wanted an action figure that I could use to play a story that took place during the Purge of Order 66 instead of spending my entire day creating a more involved custom figure.  So here is a "quick head swap" custom action figure to make a custom Jedi action figure with no name.  This way you aren't ruining any stories if he gets the old Imperial treatment.  I used the head of the new Vintage Tantive IV Rebel Guard and the body of the Luke Skywalker that came in the 3-pack with Qui-Gon Jin and Bultar Swan.  The best part about this custom action figure is that no modification is needed.  Just snap on and snap off.  You could create the figure and use him for as long as you like.  No fodder is needed as long as you have the two figures that I used for parts.  You can even return the pieces back to their orignial owners once you're done playing.

Send us pictures of your no modification custom figures.  Be sure it takes only seconds to make,and we'll add your pictures to this post.  Don't forget to send your name and the recipe you used.

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.
