CUSTOMIZER SPOTLIGHT UPDATE: "Garazeb Orrelios aka Zeb" custom articulated action figure created by SWK KUSTOMS

I was really impressed with the Kanan Jarrus and Ezra Bridger customs that we received from SWK Kustoms.  So much so that when I saw that he posted a "Zeb aka Garazeb Orrelios" action figure with ball jointed elbows, knees and ankles, as well as the inclusion of swivel wrists, I just had to grab it. The figure was well worth the expense of having to make it myself.  The joints SWK Kustoms added are seamless and strong.  These are very well engineered figures.  While, the custom figures that he has made do lack ball jointed shoulders, even I will admit as a seasoned customizer myself, that even I would forgo the modification.  It would be more trouble than it was worth.  Almost all of us complained about the 5 points of articulation in the Rebels line that Hasbro was releasing, so it's nice to know that there are customizers out there providing the articulation that we all desire to give our figures more pose-ability for play.

With around 300 customs under his belt, SWK Kustoms specializes in fully articulated figures! SWK Kustoms creates fully articulated and detailed Custom 4” figures. Star Wars, Star Trek, DC, Marvel or anything you can think of. With SWK you can also become your favorite character as well: Jedi, Sith, Storm trooper, Mandalorian and much more.

CUSTOMIZER SPOTLIGHT UPDATE: THE INQUISITOR with INCREASED ARTICULATION created by SWK KUSTOMS

Another Star Wars Rebels character gets some increased articulation thanks to SWK Kustoms.  The figure was well worth the expense of having to make it myself. The joints SWK Kustoms added are seamless and strong. These are very well engineered figures. While, the custom figures that he has made do lack ball jointed shoulders, even I will admit as a seasoned customizer myself, that even I would forgo the modification. It would be more trouble than it was worth. Almost all of us complained about the 5 points of articulation in the Rebels line that Hasbro was releasing, so it's nice to know that there are customizers out there providing the articulation that we all desire to give our figures more pose-ability for play.

CUSTOMIZER SPOTLIGHT UPDATE: "Star Wars Rebels - Ahsoka Tano" custom articulated action figure created by SWK KUSTOMS

We were really impressed with the Kanan Jarrus and Ezra Bridger customs that we received from SWK Kustoms. So much so that when we saw that he was selling an "Zeb aka Garazeb Orrelios" action figure with increased articulation, we grabbed that too. Therefore, it comes as no surprise that when he had his Star Wars Rebels "Ahsoka Tano" up for sale we went out of our way to add that figure to our collection as well. 

The joints SWK Kustoms adds are seamless and strong. His action figures are very well engineered figures. While, the custom figures that he has made do lack ball jointed shoulders, even I will admit that I would forgo the modification for the sake of convenience. Almost all of us complained about the 5 points of articulation in the Rebels line that Hasbro was releasing, so it's nice to know that there are customizers out there providing the articulation that we all desire to give our figures more pose-ability for play.

With around 300 customs under his belt, SWK Kustoms specializes in fully articulated figures! SWK Kustoms creates fully articulated and detailed Custom 3.75” figures. Star Wars, Star Trek, DC, Marvel or anything you can think of. With SWK you can also become your favorite character as well: Jedi, Sith, Stormtrooper, Mandalorian and much more.

DARTH DADDY's CUSTOMIZING CORNER: SWK KUSTOMS

Darth Daddy's Customizing Corner featured Star Wars customizer SWK Kustoms in the latest Customizing Corner over at The Star Wars Underworld.

Kevin Ferrier, aka SWK KUSTOMS / kr2700, created two very cool figures in our collection at home. A Jedi version of my son Elias that he sent as a gift for showcasing his work on our blog and a Vergere action figure that we bought on eBay way back when we first started collecting custom Star Wars action figures.

SWK Kustoms started making custom Star Wars figures in 2007. He said his wife Lynn bought him a Han Solo figure as a birthday gift. “You should always get at least one toy on your birthday,” she said.

His own collection started shortly after. He thought about making a battle mock up of 100-200 Jedi and Sith, a scene that he imagined would be in the Clone Wars! The prequels went down a different path however.  Soon he had around 50 custom Jedi & 50 Sith (Jedi spray painted black). A few months later he began to get bored with just doing simple figures, so he started to experiment. He went through a phase where he made a lot of alien Jedi. He also did more interesting Sith Lords.

His wife then suggested that other people might be interested in his figures, so he put some on eBay and his new hobby started to generate some interest!

Now seven years later with more customs than you could count under his belt, SWK Kustoms is still at it, specializing in fully articulated figures. SWK Kustoms creates fully articulated and detailed custom 4” figures from Star Wars, Star Trek, DC, Marvel or anything you can think of. With SWK you can also become your favorite character as well: Jedi, Sith, Stormtrooper, Mandalorian and much more. Figures can be purchased upon request. Price is based on how hard the piece is to make, usually between $50-150. All figures come with specialized weapons or gear and name plate stands.

CUSTOMIZER SPOTLIGHT UPDATE: "CIKATRO VIZAGO" created by SWK Kustoms

We just got the last of the Hasbro released Star Wars Rebels figures that we wanted in more articulated form.  Star Wars customizer, SWK Kustoms, really transformed Hasbro's action figure of Cikatro Vizago by adding ball-jointed elbows, knees, and ankles to their five point articulated figure.  SWK Kustoms even added some swivel wrists as well.  

Here at Customs for the Kid, we had always wondered what this line would have looked like if consumers were able to obtain the superior craftsmanship that was available in The Clone Wars 3 3/4" action figure line, before the quality of the action figures was drastically reduced.  The idea of more articulated Rebels action figures was just dreamy.  Deep down I think many collectors wanted to more articulated figures made and available on store shelves.  Especially if they opened their figures.

Vizago was the fifth Rebels custom action figure we purchased from SWK Kustoms. We really liked how he maintained the Hasbro aesthetic in his customization of his Rebels figures.  The action figures all had extremely durable construction and were manufactured out of ball joints taken from multiple action figures. (It takes the ball joints from several super-articulated action figures to create a custom action figure that was made out of a 5 POA figure.  This means improving the articulation on the action figure can become a very costly enterprise.) 

When we saw SWK Kustoms Rebels figures available for purchase, our immediate response was to buy them right away. The savings we'd receive just in parts and labor alone made purchasing his versions a real bargain.  Because we were already in the process of working on more than six custom Rebels figures of our own and we were using the same technique with the very same style that he was...it was a no brainer.  It was like shopping out half of the work on our project.  We couldn't have been more pleased with out decision.
