D&DCUSTOMS ADDED TO "CUSTOMS I WISH I OWNED"





We love nothing more than finding a customizing outfit that just blows our minds and hopefully yours too.  I mean these figures are just off the charts!

One look at the 6" creations of D&DCUSTOMS and you will spend your money on this artistry to compliment Hasbro's upcoming Black Series line.  These figures are just amazing and are sold exclusively on eBay.  In 2008, D&DCUSTOMS mostly created Dungeons and Dragons, G.I. Joe and Marvel figures.  Fortunately for Star Wars fans, they have made some of our favorite characters too.  These figures are perfect collectibles for adults who like articulation and poseability in their figures.  Ahsoka's to die for.

What are you waiting for? Watch the video and run to their eBay store before these figures all sell out!

CLONE WARS: SEASON 5 FINALE - BARRISS OFFEE CUSTOM ACTION FIGURE created by Darth Daddy

This was just a quick head modifiction with some sculpted hair.  Dad used Green Stuff to make it because of it's flexibility and it's unlikeliness to break off.  A little paint and she's done.  Dad used the Cad Bane elbows from his first release to give the Barriss Offee figure ball jointed articulated knees so she can do more Jedi stances.  We finished her off with a set of Assaj Ventress lightsabers. He wants to make the Assaj Ventress bounty hunter helmet and cloak at some point, but he hasn't started working on anything yet.

Hasbro may have given the Clone Wars line the cold shoulder, but Yakface forum members have expressed a different sentiment altogether.  This new customizing challenge allows for both animated and realistic style figures – join in the fun and show off your skills (or lack thereof) after the jump!

CUSTOMIZER SPOTLIGHT #30: MARCUS STARKILLER

So it's time to present our latest edition of Customizer Spotlight.  For the month of May, we grabbed two of the newer additions to my collection that were made by Star Wars customizer Marcus Starkiller.  He made a super-articulated Aurra Sing that we couldn't pass up.  We even got a sweet bonus figure when it shipped.

So it's time to present our latest edition of Customizer Spotlight.  For the month of May, we grabbed two of the newer additions to my collection that were made by Star Wars customizer Marcus Starkiller.  He made a super-articulated Aurra Sing that we couldn't pass up.  We even got a sweet bonus figure when it shipped.  We came across the Star Wars custom action figures of customizer John Bandow, aka Marcus Starkiller, while surfing the forums of Rebelscum and like us he's a huge Star Wars fan. We were really impressed with not only his customs, but also the work he put into their presentation. He recently started to sell some of his customs, and we picked up the above Aurra Sing custom action figure to add to my collection.  He threw in a New Republic Neimodian A-Wing Pilot for free.  Check out his figures and pick up a few yourselves. We can't say how impressed we were with his action figures, and we are sure that you will be too.
