"FINN - FIRST ORDER STORMTROOPER" by Elias

This is more of a public service announcement than a custom action figure post. For anyone who was wondering, like the 6" Black Series figures, the neck pegs for the five point articulated First Order Stormtrooper and Finn action figures are the exact same size, which is great if you want to do a quick head swap and have a Finn in Stormtrooper armor.  Just pop the heads off with a light tug, swap the Finn head onto the First Order Stormtrooper body, and the left hand will even hold the helmet for you. This is officially our first Force Awakens custom action figure!

McRobo Creations - 3.75" Khetanna Sail Barge & Imperial Star Destroyer


Trying to decide on how to use your income tax return? Well, McRobo Creations is currently offering some pretty incredible vehicle/playsets that will really knock your socks off!

First, is an impressive 3.75" Khetanna Sail Barge for purchase. Since Hasbro stated that they will not be making this iconic behemoth, this is likely your only chance to get one in your Star Wars collection. Check it out, they offer the vehicle in four different variations with pricing ranging from $500 to $3,000! McRobo Creations also makes other large-scale Star Wars vehicles too.


Jabba's Barge Lucas-Style



JABBA's BARGE - DELUXE













JABBA's BARGE - STANDARD

For a more finished presentation there is the Standard Jabba's Barge model. It features four bay doors with hinges that open into the interior, posable sails, turning gun turrets, gun racks on the main sails posts, a solid cannon, and four lifts for hover appearance. Made of new styrene sheet plastic, it's sturdy and durable, and the thickness of a nickel. Hand-crafted and one-of-a-kind. Painted with quality paint with metallic flake. The finished piece is four feet long, a foot wide and approximately 3 feet tall.



MODELER's PLAIN WHITE HULL


The cheapest item is the Plain White Basic Hull version. 













"Imperial Star Destroyer"
created by McRobo Creations



The second item that they sell  is a colossal Imperial Star Destroyer playset.  160 hours of work went into this piece. Materials are mostly ABS Flat Plastic (Styrene) and it is just gorgeous!  The 6' long playset version runs for $1,600, but if that price is a little too steep for you, there is also a non-playset version that sells for extremely reasonable price of $450. Maybe we have expensive tastes, but the playset version is just beautiful. We're sure any Star Wars fans would love one of these!

"IMPERIAL EIGHT PANEL COMPUTER CONSOLE" painted by Elias

Elias has been hard at work creating some really cool displays for his shelves. His latest project was adding an "eight panel computer console" and flooring to an Imperial diorama that he purchased on eBay. We bought the cast of the computer console from Hole In the Ground Productions, assembled and painted it, and after placed it in a Frank D'iorio Diorama Workshop inspired piece that we purchased second hand on eBay. We then used glossy black adhesive vinyl contact paper on some spare foam board that we had to add the flooring to the walls and completed the look.

CLONE WARS "CAPTAIN TARKIN" created by Darth Daddy

This was a fairly quick custom that I made not too long ago with the head of a POTF2 Grand Moff Tarkin, and the body of The Clone Wars Admiral Yularen action figure.  I sculpted some more hair onto the head and then painted the sculpt after drilling a hole into the bottom of the head to make it fit on the peg. 

Captain Tarkin featured heavily in The Clone Wars both in The Citadel arc and during Ahsoka's trial. We thought Tarkin was more than worthy of a spot on The Clone Wars collection shelf.  Hope you all enjoy!
