CAFN: Episode 67: Twelfth Parsec

Its time for Episode 67 of Custom Action Figure News!

CAFN was joined by Brent Picha aka Twelfth Parsec last night to go over in great detail the great Indiegogo Campaign for his Star Wars Inspired Space Trees. This was just an excellent interview with lots of great insight not only into his wonderful new product and how he is bringing that to the masses, but also the complexity doing something like this on a large scale. There were also some great hints about perhaps what projects might be coming next. Don't forget to go to our CAFN Archive Page to get the download link for your favorite device!

Voort saBinring, or "Piggy" (X-wing: Wraith Squadron)

Colin Hobbs of Bedwas, Wales is, hands down, the most prolific customizer of Star Wars action figures in the entire world.  I thought I made a lot of custom action figures, Colin's output is just mind blowing.  He's tackled a lot of customs of Star Wars characters that I've seen no one else make.  Colin creates almost an action figure a day and his Facebook page is full of Star Wars figures from the galaxy far, far away.  He's made so many figures that I was overwhelmed when I had to decide what I should post.  After hours of trying to decide, I contacted Colin and asked him for his favorites.  A bulk of these photos were Colin's favorites, but I just had to add a few of my own too.  If you are a fan of Star Wars customs, you have to follow Colin.  You definitely want his creations in your Facebook feed.  

Colin doesn't really post in the fan forums because he doesn't have a computer, so he posts his figures on Facebook after he snaps a shot of his latest creation with his camera phone.  If you spend your time on Star Wars fan sites, this is one of the customizing masters you may have missed out on. 

Not only does he create a lot of modern looking Star Wars custom action figures,  but he also creates a lot of great custom Vintage action figures too.  So if you were never a fan of the modern Star Wars action figure line, Colin is a customizer that has a little something for everyone.  Make sure you follow his work!

"MARROK - EMBO's ANOOBA" created by Customs for the Kid

Marrok was an Anooba owned by the bounty hunter Embo. Marrok was featured prominently in The Clone Wars episodes "Bounty", "Revenge", as well as in the new Clovis arc just released in Season 6 of The Clone Wars on Netflix. Dad really wanted to add this cool Star Wars creature to our collection since Embo's companion Marrok took part in a lot of the action filled scenes that he starred in. Dad always had an interest in creating some of the creatures of Star Wars and always wanted to make the jump from Star Wars characters to their less sentient companions. Marrok would have been an awesome addition to The Clone Wars toy line if he was included as a pack in with a re-carding of Embo. Unfortunately, this repack of Embo with Marrok accessory will never come to be now that Hasbro's Clone Wars action figure line is no more.

To produce this Marrok, I created a 3D print file of him that I designed in Blender. I then scaled the model in Chitubox as an accessory for The Clone Wars Embo action figure and when finished, printed it on a our Longer Orange 30 resin printer. After we had a successful print, we molded that print with Smooth-On Mold Max 14NV and cast the figure in Smooth Cast 61D resin. Once taken out of the pressure pot and demolded, Dad and I took turns applying the paint to our figure and I painted in the final details. We love how he looks next to Embo!
