UBESE TRACKER

Dad's latest custom was inspired by an Ubese action figure created by Yak_Chewie. Dad says he really likes the way his custom action figure came out, but he likes the Ubese action figure that was made by Yak_Chewie much better. Yak_Chewie's paint application is just so well done. Instead of copying Yak_Chewie's action figure, Dad decided to make a faster and less detailed version of the figure that I think still captures what it is that makes this action figure cool.

Dad made this custom from a G.I. Joe Snake Eyes (Paris Pursuit) action figure, a head of an unknown G.I. Joe action figure, and the helmet/mask of the new Princess Leia in Boush disguise that you can find all over retail stores now.

It was an extremely quick custom to make and way too much fun to to not take the effort to have it in our collection.

INSPIRED BY:

This Ubese custom action figure created by Yak_Chewie was the inspiration for Dad's latest creation. Dad loved the way Yak_Chewie combined the long hooded jacket with the Ubese helmet. Dad knew as soon as he saw it that he wanted to make one too. You can see more from Yak_Chewie in our "Customs I Wish I Owned" page.

RED TACTICAL DROID

Dad's made this red Tactical Droid over this summer, but we weren't able to post it because it was packed away with my Separatist droid army. We set up my droid army today so we thought it was the perfect time to do the post.

JUNO ECLIPSE: REBEL JACKET

I designed this custom action figure a few months ago. Just before we started our blog. I wanted a Juno Eclipse to use when I played with my Rebel Alliance action figures, but as you all know, Hasbro only released her as an Imperial Officer. I knew Juno was the captian of the Rebel ship Salvation, but I wanted Dad to make her in a more action oriented outfit....an outfit Juno would have worn if she got off her Nebulon-B cruiser and had some adventures when she was off the Salvation. Using my directions, Dad painted an extra Juno Eclipse that he had from the Toys R' Us Force Unleashed Battle Pack and he made it just the way I asked him.

He even painted the Rebel sign on the back of Juno's jacket that I had requested. I figured if Juno was a Rebel now, she would definitely be wearing the family crest of her true love.

Tholoth in Evening Dress

With Dad busy putting more work into the "Customs I Wish I Owned" page, he hasn't had the time to work on any of his customs.

So instead of Dad posting one of his customs, I figured I'd post my latest custom.

She's a Tholothian in an evening dress. I made her from a Stass Allie action figure and a Padme Amidalla in the Evening Dress. The fur covering is from a vintage Emperor Palpatine. All I had to do was paint the torso and arms with some help from Dad to keep me in the lines.

We use her as a diorama filler in our Cloud City Casino. She is an old flame of Lando Calrissian.
