3.75" "RIO DURANT" created by Darth Daddy
Rio Durant was a four-armed Ardennian pilot who lived during the reign of the Galactic Empire. Durant carried out dangerous missions alongside the scoundrel Tobias Beckett for years.
This Hasbro figure was only slightly improved with the addition of ball jointed elbows borrowed from two "Clone Wars" Cad Bane figures, and then Dad just brought out the details in the sculpt with some washes to the face, belt and bandoleer.
The action figure was a surprise reward for a good report card from school.

"Solo: A Star Wars Story" CHEWBACCA (Version 2) created by Darth Daddy
We used Gentle Giant's "Bust Up" Chewbacca head with Hasbro's Vintage Chewbacca action figure, mashed the two together with the glue from a glue gun to create one of the best representations of the character we've seen yet. We did A New Hope version of Chewie with the same head years ago and grabbed a second head off eBay to use with the accessories of the Hasbro Chewbacca ForceLink 2.0 action figure from the Solo film.

We can't speak highly enough about our new light box. It really does a wonderful job bringing out the best presentation for every new piece we complete.

Star Wars Rebels "Sabine Wren" Collection from "Customs for the Kid"
These three figures of Sabine Wren are custom action figures of Sabine Wren from her multiple different appearances on "Star Wars Rebels".
The "Season One" version is super-articulated and was giver increased articulation by Darth Daddy. When it was first created, it had a modified head-sculpt by Darth Daddy that was later replaced with a repainted version of Hasbro's "Season Two" Sabine Wren head by Elias for consistency in the home display.

The action figure in the middle of the photo is just a repainted "Season Two" Sabine, to add more color into the head-sculpt and an improvement to the paint on the eyes that was painted by Elias.
The last action figure on the left was also done by Elias. The "Season Two" Sabine head that Hasbro made was re-sculpted to represent Sabine in her "Season 3" appearance and armor was added to the legs before being completely repainted and getting a newly sculpted backpack from a modified "Clone Wars" Commander Cody action figure that received an epic paint job and magnetic connections. The Darksaber came from a "Clone Wars" Pre Vizsla action figure.

TOBIAS BECKETT "KESSEL DISGUISE" created by Darth Daddy
This was actually a fairly easy custom to produce if you have the right tools. Probably the most useful tool for this project was a hot knife that I gave my Dad for his birthday. He used it to cut through the hard plastic of the Force Link 2.0 Tobias Beckett action figure to steal the figure from the holsters down. Dad glued a waist peg to the the top of the lower half and then popped on the top half of the Sandstorm Lando Calrissian action figure to make a complete figure. The helmet and pick axe also came from the same Lando figure and the cape was from a Count Dooku action figure. The hot knife was a blessing and really cut assembly time down considerably.
It's great to have such a cool figure that pays homage to the Return of the Jedi with a cool Solo Easter egg. The improved articulation doesn't hurt either. Solo: A Star Wars Story is one of our favorite new Star Wars films, and we have to thank and give a shout out to Colin Hobbs for giving us the idea for the figure!
