"STAR WARS REBELS" EIGHTH BROTHER painted by Darth Daddy
This action figure was a 3D resin printed model that we purchased from Angry Raccoon Miniatures and Dad painted up. Angry Raccoon Miniatures has been making so many incredible additions to the Star Wars Rebels action figure line that are so well done that they are hard to pass up. Especially since the Rebels action figure line was so devastatingly underserved.
Thankfully, we have plenty more Angry Raccoon Miniatures models to paint. We are hoping to add a few more to our collection display shelves throughout this year. What characters from Rebels did you want to see made?

"REVENGE OF THE SITH" AAYLA SECURA painted by Elias
Hasbro has released several versions of Aayla Secura over the years, but I feel they still have yet to create a definitive one. With a fresh coat of paint on the 2012 Vintage Collection Aayla Secura figure, I was finally able to capture her likeness. This was a super simple personal project I squeezed in between my commissions, but it was well worth the effort! With all the super ambitious projects I’ve been doing for clients lately, it was nice to make a simpler figure.
I started by completely covering her skin in a coat of navy blue. I dry brushed a rich teal over that, and then hand painted layers of highlights over that. I chose to highlight her with shades of yellow to contrast the blue and really make it pop. For her clothing, I completely painted everything dark brown, and then hand painted the highlights and details to bring the textures to life.
My favorite thing about this project is that with enough patience, a good brush, and the right paints, this is something anyone can do.

"STAR WARS REBELS" RUKH painted by Darth Daddy
This 5poa action figure was created from a 3D print file created by Uzay Customs. It has swivel shoulders, hips, and neck. As subscribers to his Patreon this was only one of countless files we can print from on a monthly basis using his service. Rukh was one of the more interesting villains from the animated series. When we saw that a file was available we knew we wanted to add the assassin to our Rebels collection.
Darth Daddy hasn't worked on a custom action figure since he worked on the Kanan Jarrus action figure we did last year. Dad has been fond of adding to my "Star Wars Rebels" collection as of late. Dad has over ten characters from the show ready for paint thanks to the Etsy storefront of Angry Raccoon Miniatures.
At some point in the future we are looking to paint up Tristan Wren, Cham Syndulla, Numa, Ketsu Onyo, Ryder Azadi, Jun Sato, Iron Squadron, Super Commandos, Lando's droid, Kalani, Magistrate Maketh Tua, the 8th Brother, and hopfully a Season 3-4 Ezra Bridger to add to our own collection.
