CLONE WARS "OLD DAKA" created by Elias

Happy Halloween! 

Although this figure was finished over the weekend, we felt it would be best to post a Nightsister witch today, due to her ghoulish ability to raise the dead. "Massacre" was one of the most action packed episodes from The Clone Wars TV series due to the sorcery of Old Daka. When we saw the episode for the first time, this character was immediately on our radar as a character we knew we needed to make as an action figure. We only wish it didn't take us so long to get to her, but now that she is done, we couldn't be happier!

Daka, also known as Old Daka, was an elderly Nightsister who lived on Dathomir during the Clone Wars. Mother Talzin regarded her as the "oldest and wisest" member of the Nightsisters. Daka was skilled in many magicks, including the ability to resurrect the dead. Daka was killed when General Grievous stabbed her with a lightsaber during the Battle of Dathomir.[3]

This figure was a 100% sculpted action figure. A skeleton was created from a the arms and upper torso of a Clone Wars Luminara Unduli action figure, a chopped lower skirt of an AOTC Lama Su action figure and the head of a casted Clone Wars Darth Sidious action figure. Once the frame was assembled ProCreate was used to sculpt onto the skeleton to create the likeness of Old Daka.

IMPROVING YOUR VINTAGE COLLECTION "ENFYS NEST" ACTION FIGURE

Just a quick YouTube video tutorial from Darth Daddy on how to swap the more detailed 5 poa head of Enfys Nest onto your Vintage Collection Enfys Nest action figure that even a beginner can accomplish with little effort. It only takes as long as it will for you to watch this video.  Feel free to leave any questions you have in the comment section below.  Adult supervision required.

This technique will work on almost any action figure with a ball socket that is too big for the neck peg. If there are no soft goods, just pop the head on right away before the glue from your glue gun even dries. While the glue is drying, shift the head into all the positions you desire while on the neck peg to maintain the full range of motion.  It will end up with a perfect fit. Cut off the excess glue with an X-acto knife and you're done.

"CUSTOMIZING THE CLONE WARS" - EPISODE 60

Clone Wars custom action figure artists, Peak-OB1 Custom Creations along with Darth Daddy & Elias of "Customs for the Kid" are finally back to showcase Clone Wars custom action figures from Season 4 of The Clone Wars TV series episodes "Slaves of the Republic" & "Escape from Kadavo".

CLONE WARS "QUEEN MIRAJ SCINTEL & CONVOR" created by Elias

Miraj Scintel was a female Zygerrian who served as the Queen of Zygerria during the Clone Wars. Seeking to rebuild the Zygerrian Slave Empire that was shut down by the Jedi Knights of the Old Republic, Scintel allied Zygerria with the Confederacy of Independent Systems. She was betrayed by her Prime Minister, Atai Molec and then killed by Count Dooku.

We've been wanting this character added to our action figure collection for years now. Every time we looked at our display shelf full of scum and villainy that appeared on The Clone Wars, we always felt there was a gaping hole without her there beside all our other custom creations.

To make this action figure, I used a Clone Wars Assaj Ventress action figure. We replaced her lower legs with the boots of a Clone Wars Shaak Ti, and the hands with the hands from a Clone Wars Aurra Sing. From there the action figure was completely re-sculpted to match Queen Miraj's appearance in the show. The head was 3D designed in Blender, printed on our SLA printer and painted before being added to the rest of the figure.

Both the Convor and the hilt of her electro-whip were fabricated by hand and sculpted in ProCreate. The yellow electricity was taken from a Comic Pack Lumiya action figures accessory.

Now that she is done, one more hole on our display shelf has been filled and we can't wait to fill the next one ;)
