"SINTA NUTUNA" Action Figure created by Elias

This was almost a 100% sculpted action figure build that used the body of a Vintage Collection Aayla Secura that was sanded down to produce framing to be sculpted onto and the head of the 3.75" Black Series Ahsoka Tano that was also sanded away to make room for the new sculpt. Most of the head of the Ahsoka was removed completely before being sculpted onto. In the end both figures became skeletons used only for their joints. She required about 35 hours of labor, but by the time she was completed, only the boots of the original figure were visible. Even the legs had to be sanded and resculpted to remove the fabric texture that was sculpted into the original figure.

Sinta Nutuna was a female Twi'lek smuggler known for many crimes as part of the Nutuna Gang. She was wanted by the Inquisitorius and pursued by one of its vengeful agents. Born in 30 BBY and hailing from the sandstorms of Ryloth, Sinta Nutuna gravitated towards the galaxy's lawless sectors and led the Nutuna Gang. She operated on the fringe as a criminal, gangster, and smuggler during the age of the Galactic Empire. She became known for her deadly and illegal activities, conducting crimes including larceny, distributing holopornography, and multiple instances of soliciting on street corners in the Outer Rim Territories. Many Outer Rim hookers and gigolos considered her a prize client for her full bust and shapely figure. Her ribald rap sheet also included murder and the smuggling of illicit contraband. A bounty was placed on her head, and Nutuna was wanted by the Inquisitorius, which dispatched one of its deadly agents to track down Sinta and her gang. The Inquisitor pursued her with a vengeance in an effort to bring her in for her depraved crimes.

Sinta Nutuna was created by erotica artist Miravi in his Twi Wanted artworks. Miravi later revealed that he created the name "Sinta" for the character, though sculptor Dayton Allen (alias Sith_fire30) used the name "Nutuna" in reference to the character while creating a custom action figure sculpt based on Miravi's design. Both names were later used for the character in the 2012 Legends erotic fiction "Twist of Fate: The Quest for Camie" by Shabby Blue and Das Flute. Sinta Nutuna was introduced into erotica canon with an inclusion in Kooriv's 2019 reference work Star Wars Erotica: The Visual Guide, appearing on its cover and an inside page.

CUSTOMIZER SPOTLIGHT #55: UZAY CUSTOMS

For the holidays, I received some really cool custom pieces from artist Murat Bingöl of Turkey who goes by UZAY CUSTOMS. He carries so many pieces I have wanted to add to my collection for a long time now. I had received the Blurrgs and the Lanai for Christmas and Murat was nice enough to throw in a baby Grogu, baby Blurrg, a carbonized Mythrol, and some crate and barrel accessories with our first order. Dad asked me to wait before posting them all to the blog knowing we still had a second shipment incoming and it would be better to post everything all at once.

This past weekend, I received my next batch of offerings from UZAY CUSTOMS which included some great pieces from The Mandalorian as well as a pod from the Revenge of the Sith that held Anakin's charred body after his duel with Obi-Wan on the planet of Mustafar. The Kowakian Kebab cooking station was the coolest offering from this weekend, because that was one of the biggest standout moments of the first episode of the show for me. The Heavy Cannon was the other big standout moment from the episode so it was really awesome that I was able to add both to our collection.

UZAY CUSTOMS has some beautiful customs that would make great additions to anyone's collections. It is important to mention that he uses a filament printer to make his pieces so if print lines are something that bother you, you may want to take that into account. We feel like the post-print paint applications do a great job distracting you from those lines so take that into consideration as well. UZAY has upgraded his Blurrgs since our purchase, and his new version now has articulation like his new Mudhorn custom. In the near future, we are hoping to pick up some of his new Gamorrean fighters from Season 2 of The Mandalorian.

THE CLONE WARS "WALKABOUT - AHSOKA TANO" created by Elias of "Customs for the Kid"

This project was created on commission for a client, and when I received the order, I couldn't have been more excited to make something new. This specific rendition of Ahsoka depicts her sporting her mechanic jumpsuit during her walkabout with the Martez sisters. This one will definitely hurt to send away since I still don't have one for my own collection. I'll have to remedy that very soon, so be sure to keep an eye out for her.

Ahsoka Tano, no longer part of the Jedi Order is now totally alone. When we are introduced to Ahsoka's new life, we find her literally falling out of the sky on Coruscant in a full-blown crash landing onto the lower level 1313 due to a malfunctioning speeder bike. Ahsoka's misfortune leads to meeting the Martez sisters who provide the former Jedi with a fresh perspective on the Order at a time when she’s still grappling with her own wounded view of the peacekeepers of the galaxy. We loved the jumpsuit Ahsoka wore on this grand adventure that led to taking out Spice Lords and crossing paths with Bo Katan and Maul.

For the build of the figure, I used the upper arms, elbows, torso and legs of a "Clone Wars" Legacy Collection Adventure Padmé, the forearms of a The Black Series Ahsoka Tano, and the head of the Shadow of the Dark Side Scuba Ahsoka. First we sanded off the vest of the torso of the Padme with a Dremel before starting the sculpt. The jumpsuit details and control panel on the left glove were fully sculpted, as well as her elongated Lekku and Montrals. After my sculpt dried, I just painted the figure based off of images from the episode, and then sealed it to protect my paint application.
