Star Wars customizer localgotal does not physically create his action figures with plastic.  Instead he makes a digital custom. 

What is a digital custom you ask?  Let's hear a description from localgotal himself. 

"By "digital custom" I mean that I've taken various images of other figures from across the web and in Photoshop pieced them together to create an image." - localgotal

His imagery can best be described as a Star Wars collector's wishlist of vehicles and action figures that they'd like to see released before it is too late and the new films launch.  If Hasbro wants to know what collectors would like to see in the future, check out Yakface.com presents...Concept Series: Action Figure Customs by localgotal.   I can't pick a better voice to speak to what I know I want as a collector.  What he has put on display is exactly what I'd like to see released.  Clear the parking lot!  This is the last chance for these figures to be released with all the new product that will be produced with the new films coming out. Between the new Trilogy and Spin-Off movies coming out, there are just so many things here on display that I'd like to get before OTC toys are gone from toy shelves forever. His suggestions are a love letter to Hasbro spilling forth all our wishes and desires.

localgotal has such great eye, and his representations of the characters from the films are spot on.  He definitely picks the best parts from everywhere and fits everything together seamlessly.  I almost wish this stuff was reality and I'd be able to bring it all home.  Hasbro's investors are sleeping at the wheel. Stockholders need to take a more active role in the companies that they invest in.  I wish this was Hasbro's selection in 2014 giving a last hurrah to the OTC to prep everyone for 2015.  They'd make a fortune off of me!

What I like is that localgotal's imagery is an "ongoing series" and I can see us getting figures from all the Star Wars content eventually. He's only been at it since November. This is only the beginning. His recurring feature on Yakface.com needs to become part of your web browsing activity if you are a fan of Star Wars figures.  As a customizer, it is definitely a completely different skill set, but the task is equally difficult. 

And this guy definitely brings the Photoshop skills! Love his imagery! I certainly couldn't do what he does.

I want localgotal in charge of the Star Wars line going forward. We need to change the guard. Yakface.com stumbled upon greatness when they found localgotal.

THE CLONE WARS ACTION FIGURE COLLECTION @ CUSTOMS FOR THE KID

VIDEO COMING SOON!

CUSTOMIZER SPOTLIGHT UPDATE: PeakOB1

So Wednesday was my birthday.  I didn't get to celebrate it with my dad until last night, but the delay was worth the wait.  Keeping with a birthday tradition, Dad bought me some beautiful custom action figures that were created by the super talented Star Wars customizer PeakOB1.  I'm a huge fan of this customizer, with almost 40 action figures by the artist featured in my collection.  Most of the custom figures that I own from him are from The Clone Wars and my latest additions are awesome out of this world!  I was blown away when I opened my present and found two of my favorite female characters from the show.  These will be great additions to our Customs for the Fangirls page!

The first action figure I pulled out of the box was an Assaj Ventess in her Bounty Hunter outfit.  The paint application is just gorgeous.  The pin-striping is so precise and well applied. Her helmet was made to be removable and she even came with an articulated Tooka! 

The second figure I pulled out of the package was a Duchess Satine Kryze, an action figure that I think just about every Clone Wars fan had hoped Hasbro would have released.  Now Obi-Wan doesn't have to be so lonely.  Because she is in her adventure gear, her and Padme can tackle the perils of Mandalore.

I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE THESE FIGURES!
