ITHORIAN ENDOR REBEL SOLDIER created by DARTH DADDY

Dad wanted to create at least one more figure for the No Paint Kitbash Rally at Imperial Shipyards.   It was really cool when I came home tonight and found this Ithorian Endor Rebel Trooper.  To create the figure Dad used the hands, feet, and head of a POTF Momaw Nadon and made sure that when he added them to the body of a Vintage Orimaarko that he kept the articulation of the Vintage figure.  Dad made the head ball jointed, kept the swivel wrists, and added a swivel where both feet met the legs.  The Ithorian only took a few minutes to make.  The longest part of the entire process was waiting for the krazy glue to dry.  If you like the figure as much as we do, we recommend making one of your own.  It's too easy not to.

CAFN: Episode 46 - 2012: The Action Figure Year In Review

CAFN: Episode 46

Join Lucasclones and Tamer as they have their first ever "Top Ten Figures of the Year Show".  Lucasclones, Zedhatch, Tamer, and Clonehead talk about the figures they thought were worthy. Dad was really honored and completely shocked when Lucasclones said that Dad's Mother Talzin was his favorite custom action figure from 2012.  It was even cooler when CAFN mentioned me as an up and coming artist! If you haven't seen the brand new and improved CAFN Page yet, be sure to give it a look.

STRONOX VIDEO UPDATED ON OUR "CUSTOMS I WISH I OWNED" ARCHIVE PAGE

So Dad was spending a few hours today updating our "Customs I Wish I Owned" archive page. As he was working, he came across the video for his friend Rob, aka Stronox, and realized that our video for his work was last updated in 2011. Stronox is very well known in customizing circles for being the artist that we all aspire to paint like. I know I'm an admirer. Dad and Stronox go way back to when we first started this blog. Stronox if you're reading this, Dad says he's looking forward to catching up. Ever since Rob had a schedule change at his job, Dad finds that he usually has to be in bed before Rob is available to talk so he can be up and functioning for his own job.

If you ever find that you want to explore other custom action figure blogs besides ours, we highly recommend visiting the blog of Stronox. Every action figure is created maximizing every figure's articulation with paint applications that are to die for.  Each figure captured with his exceptional photography skills. He is great too if your tastes venture outside the Star Wars galaxy. Stronox makes custom Marvel, DC Universe Classics, G.I. Joe, Warhammer 40k, Predator, and more. Anyone who geeks out over action figures would love his blog. It is a beautiful gallery of his work. When Stronox isn't parenting, he's either customizing figures, drawing, painting, reading, collecting toys, or gaming.
