Secret Santa: Take 1

So Dad and I recently entered ourselves in the Secret Santa over at Yakface.com. It looked like loads of fun and if any of you customizers haven't been involved, I would definitely recommend doing so in in the future. Dad painted a C-3PO protocol droid with Christmas colors and finished this action figure last week. On Tuesday, we found out who we had to send the figure to and Dad realized that this customizer had an affection for a certain type of figure. So yesterday, in the spirit of Christmas, Dad made a brand new figure that he thinks will fit this customizer's tastes. I guess that means I get to keep Dad's Christmas droid. An early Christmas for me!

A Dress It Up Custom By Dad

So far all of our customs have relied on krazy glue or paint to create a finished product. This time Dad tried an easier approach. Take an extra action figure and dress it in different clothes to make a new figure. All it took was digging through our ziplock bag of clothing items and the right action figure. As an action figure for this custom, we chose Jedi Foul Moudama. Dad boiled him in our action figure boiling pot for about 10 minutes, popped off his arms and head so he could slip off his Jedi robe and then reassembled the action figure while he was still soft. We chose brown soft goods for his new clothing, so we kept on the shoes that he came with and gave him an electrostaff from our weapons fodder bag to create a new Talz action figure. Dad cut up a Shaak Ti skirt for his bottom and a Jedi skirt for the top as well.

My Custom Birthday Present

A few weeks ago was my birthday, and like last year, Dad made me a customized Star Wars gift. He recently made me into an action figure, but the drawback of the action figure was that it couldn't go into a Jedi Starfighter without ruining the paint job Dad had given it. So when my birthday came around, he provided me with a solution to my dilemma. A starfighter that could help me travel the Star Wars galaxy. To do this he modified a G.I. Joe vehicle and gave it a Star Wars feel.

X-Wing Astromech Droid

Dad painted the R2-D2 on this Vintage POTF X-Wing over a year ago to diversify my X-wing fleet. This may have been his "real" first custom come to think of it. Although back then, he didn't consider himself to be a customizer. I don't even think he knew what a customizer was back then.

Dad did this one two weeks ago.



A very simple custom made from a Dragonball Z Bulma action figure and a Stass Allie body. The background makes it look cooler than it actually is, but that doesn't mean she isn't cool.
