CUSTOMIZER SPOTLIGHT UPDATE: PeakOB1

So Wednesday was my birthday.  I didn't get to celebrate it with my dad until last night, but the delay was worth the wait.  Keeping with a birthday tradition, Dad bought me some beautiful custom action figures that were created by the super talented Star Wars customizer PeakOB1.  I'm a huge fan of this customizer, with almost 40 action figures by the artist featured in my collection.  Most of the custom figures that I own from him are from The Clone Wars and my latest additions are awesome out of this world!  I was blown away when I opened my present and found two of my favorite female characters from the show.  These will be great additions to our Customs for the Fangirls page!

The first action figure I pulled out of the box was an Assaj Ventess in her Bounty Hunter outfit.  The paint application is just gorgeous.  The pin-striping is so precise and well applied. Her helmet was made to be removable and she even came with an articulated Tooka! 

The second figure I pulled out of the package was a Duchess Satine Kryze, an action figure that I think just about every Clone Wars fan had hoped Hasbro would have released.  Now Obi-Wan doesn't have to be so lonely.  Because she is in her adventure gear, her and Padme can tackle the perils of Mandalore.

I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE THESE FIGURES!

Custom Action Figure News #76: SJEFKE

Iron-Cow Productions Added to "Customs I Wish I Owned"

Matt ‘Iron-Cow’ Cauley’s background lies in the visual arts. Born in Dallas in the fall of 1973, he eventually relocated to New York to attend Parsons School of Design. Shortly after obtaining his degree in Illustration, he began working for Bloomberg LP as a Broadcast Designer while further developing his illustration and toy design work.

In 1999, Matt formed Iron-Cow Productions, LLC to better serve his illustration, animation, design, and toy production clients.  Matt's work is regularly published and exhibited worldwide. He gained further exposure in the toy design world as a featured contributer to ToyFare Magazine. There are over 50 ICP-designed action figures that have hit the shelves since that time.

Matt eventually relocated the Iron-Cow Studios from New Jersey to New York in February 2013. During this upheaval, Matt decided to take on some small action figure customizing projects here and there until his studio was fully up and running. To keep things simple, he began experimenting with some Vintage Star Wars projects. These were never meant to be anything too complicated: simple headswaps and repaints were all he wanted to do. As luck would have it, nostalgia, combined with fun quickly blossomed into a massive 28 figure endeavor. 

This was just the beginning. Matt had such a fun experience with the retro figures that he quickly began work on his next wave of Vintage Star Wars. There are currently over 60 new figure projects in the works that will be unveiled early next year.

CLONE WARS LEGACY: "UTAPAU ARC" ANAKIN SKYWALKER by Darth Daddy

Being huge fans of "The Clone Wars" television series, we were thrilled last week when StarWars.com announced the continuation of The Clone Wars Legacy through a diverse selection of platforms which included: a novel, a Darth Maul comic book series, and the release of a complete story arc of unfinished animation featuring Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker in four, 20 minute episodes accompanied by the voice acting talents of James Arnold Taylor and Matt Lanter.  The four new episodes featured a new character model for Anakin Skywalker with longer hair similar to the length of his hair in Revenge of the Sith.  

Since the Five Below store down the street from us had a few of the older Clone Wars Anakin Skywalker action figures, Dad figured he'd try and make the latest version of Anakin that would've graced our television screens had the show continued production.  He just sculpted some new hair on the older figure and painted the hair so it was the same color as the older figure.
