BITH ENDOR REBEL SOLDIER created by Darth Daddy

After Dad finished making me an Ithorian Rebel Soldier, Dad wanted to create a few more alien Endor Rebel soldiers. Dad saw a cool dark skinned Bith action figure created a few years ago by Von Reinhardt Customs.  Ever since Dad saw the figure, he wanted to do a variation on the theme.  When Dad went to create a new Endor Rebel soldier, he felt the time had come to make one.  To make this figure, Dad used a Bith head cast that was created by Sithhappens, and placed it on a G.I. Joe Renegades Ripcord action figure.  Then Dad just repainted the figure.  

I really like what Dad has been making lately and I can't wait to see what he does next.

Peak-OB1's Video Updated on the "Customs I Wish I Owned" Page

  

Chad Peak (aka: Peakob1 or CAP) has been a Star Wars fan all his life. He makes customs for the love of the hobby and you won't find a more dedicated fan. He hopes one day that he can have an entire custom collection personalized to him. He never seeks financial gain by doing his customs, although Peakob1 has done a few commissions at reasonable prices. He started customizing in '95. He doesn't count some of the vintage Ewoks that he colored over with black and brown markers as a kid.

Peakob1 refers to his style of customizing as "hard sculpting" opposed to using sculpy to mold his own figures. He uses bits of existing parts and dremels those down to make a new result. He believes that it makes for a much stronger figure because he's a little like Jar Jar, "hesa clumsy" and often drops figures. Usually they don't break if he builds them properly. He finds customizing very exciting and he has many projects on the horizon. Hope you enjoy his customs!

He displays his customs on Yakface, Droids and Ewoks, and Jedi Defender.

Bring on the Barge! Star Wars Fan Site Petition

Bring on the barge! In order for us to approach Hasbro with this petition, we would like at least 10,000 signatures supporting this cause, and sadly we are far, far behind, so would you kindly sign the petition? Do your part to help make this 3.75" scaled vehicle a reality so it can sail its way into your collection! Hasbro has hinted that they'd love to make a Sail Barge, but they'd like to gauge things like interest, cost and other things from collectors. Here is your chance! 

The collective goal here is to garner a significant amount of signatures from Star Wars collectors by January 31, 2013. We will then take these results with us and submit them to Hasbro at NY Toy Fair in February. With your support we hope that the iconic Sail Barge vehicle can be realized in a very exciting vehicle/playset for the 3.75" line. But it won't happen without you! So please sign the petition! After you sign it, be sure to leave some of your thoughts in the comments module below where you can discuss desired price points, features you want to see included and just general discussion about this awesome vehicle! Thank you for your support!
