Customizer Spotlight # 42: "STAR WARS REBELS - SABINE's TIE FIGHTER" created by MirkoFx Studio aka Mirko Martinovic
When Star Wars fans wrapped up Season One of "Star Wars Rebels", viewers gazed at one ultra cool variation on a Tie Fighter via the artistic stylings of The Ghost crew member, Sabine Wren. Many fans hope that Hasbro releases a version of the vehicle from the "Fire Across the Galaxy" season finale, but as of now we're still waiting for an official announcement that it will happen. Mirko Martinovic's painted Tie Fighter was probably the best exclusive giveaway at Star Wars Celebration Anaheim, because it is one of the only manifestations we have seen of Sabine's Tie Fighter so far. One lucky raffle winner walked away with the prize on the last day of the convention.
When the convention was over, a fan commissioned Mirko to recreate his convention exclusive. The custom took him 3 whole weeks to complete. A true labor of love! Lucky for us, the person backed out the deal at the last minute.
Mirko was getting ready to list this masterpiece up on eBay when Dad sent him an offer. I turned 12 yesterday, and I was in complete shock when I came home and saw this beauty hanging from my ceiling with all my other Rebel ships!

"Imperial Star Destroyer Playset" created by McRobo Creations
Two weeks ago, we featured a vehicle/playset build from McRobo Creations of Jabba's Sail Barge. This time we are exhibiting their latest build...a 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!

Star Wars: Power of the Force - Millennium Falcon ("Episode VII: The Force Awakens" Conversion) by Elias
If you are like us, and you don't want to spend the money to buy another Millennium Falcon from Hasbro, here is a "Force Awakens" home improvement project that we made with our Star Wars: Power of the Force - Millennium Falcon. Years ago we upgraded our Falcon when the Legacy edition hit stores, so the 1995 released toy was sitting out of view a retired toy. Breathing life into it again was a real blast.
We had to heat the metal pin free from the old dish to get it off the housing, but it pulled apart pretty easily after a few minutes of being boiled in water. We weren't too crazy about the action features in Hasbro's new Millennium Falcon offering. The Nerf feature just felt out of place, and paying for a new dish was much cheaper than the new Falcon's price tag. We do admit that we wish we had the Finn and Chewbacca figures with the headsets! Those are great looking figures.
3D Print Designer TonyRR offers a replacement dish for the Falcon on Shapeways. The 66 mm quad radar dish is not round but square like the Episode VII Falcon. This upgrade is available in Frosted Ultra Detail.

ABOUT THIS PRODUCT
3D Print Designer TonyRR is offering a replacement dish for the Falcon you already have on Shapeways.
The 66 mm quad radar dish is not round but square like the Episode VII Falcon.
This upgrade is available in Frosted Ultra Detail.
*Not sure if this radar dish will work as well with the BMF Legacy/Vintage Boxed Falcon as it does with the POTF Falcon. At least not without modifying the attachments considerably. With the POTF Falcon, not even glue is needed and the old dish could be easily reattached without issue or damage to the original piece.
