Wookie-Balls added to "Customs I Wish I Owned"


"LE-BO2D9 aka Leebo" 
created by Wookie-Balls




Ray, Wookie-Balls, is 37 (just) and lives in Buckinghamshire in the UK. He is a lifelong Star Wars fan having first seen the movie projected in his own bedroom wall in Berlin in 1978 (the joys of being an army brat.)

He works in London - but lives in the countryside with his wife (another Star Wars fan and Gamer!) and his Dog Halo (beamed after a 2000AD character.)  He enjoys SciFi, GMing RPGs (SW, Aliens and Supernatural.)

Customizing wise - he prefers the realistic style of figures over CW ones. His projects have included "A Clone squad (The 349th)", an all new Shadows of the Empire Line, Expanded Universe New Jedi Order figures and some Star Wars crossovers including 2000AD and the Centurions!

Rays other major hobby is the restoration of classic Kenner Star Wars toys - he started with his own much loved figures and ships and has since moved on to rescuing beaters that he discovers on his travels.

Ray has completed commission work for collectors however his pieces are for display rather than play! He can be contacted at ray7@btinternet.com.

CUSTOMIZER SPOTLIGHT #23: INCOM aka MR.BLACK

When Incom isn't working in business services, this customizer hailing from Hengelo, Netherlands is busy making some of the sweetest customs you'll ever come across. His "Weequay Swoop Bike Racer" is one of our all-time favorite Star Wars customs. When we saw that he was offering it for sale on Action Figure Customs Marketplace, Dad bought it right away for my birthday. The bike and figure are just pure eye candy, from the detailed paint work to the super cool Aurebesh water slide decals, we just love it. We always wanted a Star Wars custom action figure from this artist, but we never thought in a million years that our favorite piece of his would one day end up in my collection.
