TCW "DEATH WATCH LIEUTENANT" created by Customs for the Kid

This was a custom that Darth Daddy started and I finished.  Dad began by sculpting a screen accurate gauntlet onto a Clone Wars Death Watch Mandalorian with some ProCreate and added the pointed ends of wooden toothpicks to make the tips of the missiles. The head we purchased from Watto's Scrapyard and we have nothing but complimentary things to say about the sculpt of the head. Once Dad finished the figure's sculpt, he painted the base coats onto the figure and got the figure primed for additional paint applications.

Then I came in and added the wires of the gauntlet to the figure with cuttings from the datapad of Admiral Ackbar that I drilled and glued into place, drilled the helmet of the Death Watch figure and added a spare rangefinder that was part of an ARC Trooper casted kit that we used to finish the last detail before I completed Dad's paint job by adding in all the fine details to finish this collaboration.

"ENFYS NEST - UNMASKED" created by Elias

To produce this particular custom it only took a headcast we painted from Watto's Scrapyard to add to an already existing custom that we made. The first version of the character that we made, just swapped the Vintage Collection Enfys Nest action figure helmet for the more detailed 5 poa head of Enfys Nest. For the swap we made a quick YouTube tutorial that outlined how even a beginner can accomplish the switch with little effort. The nice part about the Watto's Scrapyard head was that it required no modifications other than a well executed paint job to make our figure more complete than ever.

Because Hasbro never gave us a version of the figure that was unmasked, the Watto's Scrapyard offering gives us the ability to recreate one of the biggest surprise reveals related to Enfys Nest from the Solo film, her young face when she takes her helmet off. We highly recommend purchasing this head so you can upgrade your existing action figure to improve your collection at home.

The technique taught in this video will work on almost any action figure with a ball socket that is too big for the neck peg. If there are no soft goods, just pop the head on right away before the glue from your glue gun even dries. While the glue is drying, shift the head into all the positions you desire while on the neck peg to maintain the full range of motion.  It will end up with a perfect fit. Cut off the excess glue with an X-acto knife and you're done.

"OBI-WAN KENOBI in MAUL MANDO ARMOR" created by Elias

This is a 3.75” rendition of Obi-Wan in his Death Watch Disguise he stole from a Maul loyalist to rescue Duchess Satine Kryze from the custody of Darth Maul in The Lawless. This Obi-Wan was a commissioned piece I made for a client, so he unfortunately won’t be staying on our shelves, but making him was a pleasure nonetheless.

The majority of the figure was made with a Clone Wars Pre Vizsla action figure which I repainted to match the armor of the Maul Mandos. I was careful to replicate every detail as seen on screen, even down to the the silver chips in the armor and the maul markings on the helmet. I converted the Pre Vizsla helmet into an alternate head by filling it with hot glue and sticking it to the neck ball joint. I then waited for the glue to dry and gave the head a gentle twist which freed it, allowing for full range of movement. The lightsaber was simply an Obi-Wan lightsaber, and the jetpack was a repainted cast of the Clone Wars Aayla Secura action figure jetpack we got from Rebel Kid Creations. The peg on the jet pack surprisingly fit into the Pre Vizsla jet pack hole perfectly, so I didn’t have to modify the sculpt of the jet pack at all. The head is from a Clone Wars Season 4 Obi-Wan, and remained completely unmodified throughout the course of the project.
