Lannik Bounty Hunter

Dad threw this one together on the fly today.  Originally he was just going to hang out at the kitchen table with me while I created a custom.  Next time I looked over, figures were boiling on the stove top and Dad was at it.  He sculpted hair with Apoxie Sculpt onto the head of a Clone Wars Even Piel from which he also used the hands and lower legs along with the torso, arms and upper thighs of a Discover the Force Mawhonic.  The bandana around his neck is from a G.I.Joe Tunnel Rat and the backpack is from the Vintage Dengar.  The arm band is from an Indiana Jones figure.

Dad says he wants to do some more work on the braids now that the skeleton for it is dry.  All he has to do now is sculpt in the fine details.

Dad's Lannik Bounty Hunter was featured on the front page of Imperial Shipyards.

Head Casts by sithhappens

 Dad is always wishing he had extra alien heads for creating new action figures, but doesn't want to pay the price of an entire figure to get it.  When Dad found out Star Wars customizer sithhappens started to sell head casts of some of the figures he wanted most, he went straight to his ebay page to place an order.  When he received his order in the mail, Dad was really impressed with the high quality casts that he received and placed a second order right away.  Any customizers who are looking for some hard to find heads at a reduced cost, look no further.  These heads are awesome!

Savage Opress Robot Arm

Dad was talking to Star Wars customizer Peakob1 today and he told Dad that if he watched the Clone Wars Season 5 trailer real closely that he would see Savage Opress has a robotic arm in this season.  We're curious to see how Savage loses it, and if a custom of this version of Opress will ever be made.  At least I know what I'm going to do with my extra action figure of him when I get the Target Exclusive 3-pack with Darth Maul and the Nightsister.

Robot Arm Savage Opress 

(Work In Progress)

created by Darth Daddy

Dad still has to sculpt the upper arm to complete the figure.  We're waiting for the "Eminence" episode in Season 5 so we can get a better view of the new arm and correct anything we need to on the forearm also.
