Iktochi Separatist Sympathizer

I wasn't sure if Dad was going to have time to finish an action figure for this weekend, so I decided that I'd make sure you all had a new figure to look at when you all came to visit today. It turned out Dad did get one done, but he still has to photograph it, so it won't be posted until later today. To hold you over is a quick No Paint Kit Bash that I threw together using a head from a Clone Wars Saesee Tiin, the hands from a Wilrow Hood, and the body of the Vintage Doltay Dofine.

Iktochi Separatist sympathizer, Xerro Dovitti, conspired with the Separatist Army several times throughout the Clone Wars. A rich and powerful merchant, he sometimes loaned his space freighters to the Separatists to help them move their droid armies and supplies to strategic locations throughout the galaxy. He also sometimes acted as a Separatist commander during these missions.

I did all the photography this time around.

The gun is from G.I. Joe fodder we had, but I'm not sure who it was from.

I used the hands of a Wilrow Hood action figure.

The blue marking on the Clone Wars Saesee Tiin matched really well with the body of the Doltay Dofine.

SURE WE'VE BEEN QUIET, BUT THAT DOESN'T MEAN WE'RE NOT BUSY - A TRIP TO THE WORKSHOP

WIP ACTION FIGURES

So Dad has been tinkering away. Nothing finished quite yet, but hopefully at least one of these action figures will be finished by this weekend. Keep your fingers crossed. The builds are done, all that is left is a trip to the paint shop.

THE YOUNGLING KICK CONTINUES

So my mom has been expressing her concern to my Dad about the violence in Star Wars and all the dark themes that exist in the stories. She expressed concern about how it could affect my development and my overall outlook on life. To meet mom halfway, Dad went on a huge kick where he created a bunch of custom Jedi younglings and then bought me the new Starspeeder 1000 and the Star Tours crew, to transport my younglings throughout the Star Wars universe and make our play more kid friendly and less about the battles some people usually associate with the Wars.

JEDI YOUNGLINGS

Dad sculpted new legs onto his Gran Jedi youngling, and added Advozse and Neomodian Jedi younglings to my collection over the weekend as well.

This Quermian Jedi youngling was purchased on ebay a few years ago, but arrived in the mail completely damaged. When we opened the bubble mailer, the head was cracked off. Dad had to completely resculpt a new neck, and then had to repaint the figure due to the repairs he had made. In the end the figure looked different than when we had bought it, but Dad his best to stick to the original concept that the customizer had used.

Dad used the new Vintage Doltay Dofine head and hands with the Vintage Anakin Skywalker body to create this youngling and then repainted them to match the paint he applied to the neck.

Dad replaced the ball joint of the neck to attach the Vintage Bom Vimdim head to the Vintage Anakin Skywalker body to create this youngling.

I sure do have a lot of younglings now!

DEATH TROOPER created by Darth Daddy

When an experimental virus was tested on this Stormtrooper, he surprised the Imperial research team when he exhibited an alarming reaction to the injection. The team disposed of him immediately down inside the ship's trash compactor.

Dad has been wanting to make one of these action figures ever since he listened to Joe Shreiber's book on audio tape during a long road trip. When the new G.I. Joe Zombie Viper action figure came out, he knew it was time to take a crack at it. After he found the action figure at a local pharmacy he was all ready to go. He used the Vintage Stormtrooper action figure for the body and the G.I. Joe Zombie Viper action figure provided the parts for the undead portion of his creation. Dad painted the figure with less blood and gore and tried to use a comic book color scheme. He did the build while he listened to Lucasclones and Tamer interview customizer TTT on Custom Action Figure News and when he heard them give the original blue skin tone a bad rap, Dad tried to see if he could make the blue look good. He really loves the way the figure came out. He's pretty sure somebody else has probably tried the same formula by now, but he hasn't come across it yet in the customizing forums. He considers the figure a work in progress, but to be honest Dad's been saying that about all of his completed figures lately.
