Customs for the Kid contributes to Nivrerex Film's "Star Wars Stop Motion Bounty Hunters"

A few months ago, Ervin Ramirez Mendez of Nivrerex Film contacted Customs for the Kid to see if we could make some Clone Wars Weequay pirates for an upcoming stop motion film he was making. We didn't have time to make a bunch of new pirates, but Darth Daddy sent Nivrerex a handful of casts from Dad's Weequay pirate headsculpt with instructions on how to paint them up once they were placed on some bodies. Ervin did an awesome job painting two of the casts for his latest "Star Wars Stop Motion Bounty Hunters" short. It was really exciting to see something we created end up in a stop motion film! Especially one that is so much fun to watch!

CUSTOMIZER SPOTLIGHT #53: Jaeger45's "Rennek & Pucimir Thryss"

Well, we are halfway through the year, and we are confident in saying that Christopher Herman aka Jaeger45, has made the two coolest customs so far this year. When Dad first saw the soft goods robe and sculpted RAF flight suit on Jaeger45's "Rennek" we were pretty sure it was the best soft goods work we had ever seen in the 3.75" scale. From the resin beads that accent the sleeves to the fur trim, Rennek had all the bells and whistles. The fit of the robe on the action figure looked like it was made by a professional tailor.

When Dad mentioned to Jaeger45 that he was interested in having the figure commissioned, he agreed to the request and when the figure came in the mail, we were surprised to find a head and robes to make his "Pucimir Thryss" action figure in the box too! Jaeger45 said we just needed a Coffee colored Vitruvian H.A.C.K.s Blank Figure from Boss Fight Studio to complete the figure. We already had one in our fodder so we only had to paint the sandals to add him to our Jabba display.

The paint application on the figures he sent were just phenomenal, and they were two of the nicest figures we ever added to our collection. We were so thankful and we couldn't be more pleased! 

We highly recommend checking out more from this artist in the link below.

"CLONE WARS STEELA & SAW GERRERA" created by CUSTOMS FOR THE KID

Dad has wanted to add the Clone Wars version of Saw Gerrera to the collection for a long time now. So much so that he took it into his own hands to make it happen. The head was originally a modified Clone Wars Anakin Skywalker that Dad completely re-sculpted to more closely assemble Saw's animated persona. Dad borrowed the lower legs from the same figure and completely changed their appearance with Green Stuff and Aves Fixit to mirror Saw's onscreen look. The arms, hands, waist and thighs were from the Clone Wars Quinlan Vos action figure. Of course those were heavily modified. The upper part of his torso was fabricated from the top of the Clone Wars Phase II Clone Trooper. In the end though, Saw ended up being a 100% sculpted action figure since all the parts used were only a base on which Dad built onto.

Once Dad started Saw, I just had to make a Steela. Her legs are from the Clone Wars Padme Amidala, the forearms and hands are from a Clone Wars Cato Parasitti. The rest of the figure was a Clone Wars Aura Sing. From there I just sculpted in everything that needed to be there that wasn't with ProCreate.

We just loved adding this brother/sister set to our collection. Their appearance on our shelves was long overdue!

CUSTOMIZER SPOTLIGHT #52: "GLAUCUS, LARK & JONK" created by sterlistr

Glaucus was a Octeroid male who was also known by the nicknames "Big Guy" and "Big Eye". In 10 BBY, Glaucus spent time watching matches of sabacc in the Lodge on the planet Vandor and witnessed matches between the smugglers Han Solo and Lando Calrissian. He preferred spectating to playing as other players could see his card values reflected in his eye.

Lark and Jonk, nicknamed the twins was a Danzikan who was also present playing inthe infamous sabacc game where Han Solo and Lando Calrissian first met.

Star Wars customizer, sterlistr, offered painted resin casts for both of these characters for sale an his eBay page and we jumped at the chance to add these characters to our collection. Because Hasbro has not released any of the sabacc players from the film "Solo: A Star Wars Story", action figures of any of the characters are in high demand. We highly grab picking up some for yourselves while they are still available.
