Yes, I have seen this thing before with 12" dolls on the Men with Dolls forum on Ezboard: Bouncing Betty and Jaunting Jet.  Each person who "hosted" the doll took her around to various places in town and shared photos with everyone, and then added some small accessory or item of clothing to her "suitcase" when it was time to send her on to the next host (similar to the sticker idea suggested by BrentS -- either would work well).

It's a very cool idea, and it would be great fun to do it with SW figures -- count me in, too!  Do you know which figure you're going to use, Ennis?

I just finished my first transaction with CHEWIE (Justin), and I hope there will be many more!  His payment was lightning-fast, and his all of his communications to me were timely and friendly.  A great trader & customzier, and highly recommended to all!

Thanks again, Justin -- hope we can do this again some time!

Cheers,
the Findswoman

Thanks so much for the kind words, all -- glad things are finally starting to work again!

I'll have more to say about your comments soon, but for now, I would just like to post a few photos of these new customs to tide people over until Geocities decides to behave itself again.  The website of course has even more photos, along with explanatory text, so even with these photos, don't forget to go visit there, too!

The magic of STAR WARS transcends virtually EVERY viewing situation, regardless of scope.  In the end, the most important thing when viewing the STAR WARS Saga at home is that there be an extra-special someone curled up next to you enjoying all the action, all the adventure, and all the exploits of Luke, Han, Leia, Chewie, Darth, Anakin, Obi-Wan and the gang!! 

You are absolutely right about that! 

Yes, I am very lucky to have the Findshusband by my side, through all aspects of life, Star Warsy and non-Star Warsy.  And I'm sure Mrs. Darklord is very blessed too.  Have you guys really been married 19 years?  Wow!  Many more to you both! 

... the Findswoman

More wonderful work, Chewie!  I have commented elsewhere on the mystery hunter, Cmdr. Kraist, and Nommel, so here goes with some of the things from earlier on, upon which I haven't commented yet:

Quinlan Vos: Softgoods hair!  Hooray!  Very ambitious, and it turned out great.  (How did you get it on his head, incidentally? And did you spray seal it afterwards?  It looks that way.)  Yes, as Phruby points out, he does have that sort of Bob Marley look, but in a determined, Jedi sort of way. 

Female Wookiee Peasant:  Dath Delicious, I wonder if it's the eyes & teeth that don't seem right to you?  They do seem a bit too white, almost "deer-in-the-headlights"-ish.  Maybe if they were more off-white or a light tan?  Still, I like the concept for the custom, and it's definitely a very creative one that one does not see every day.

Darth Plagueis the Wise: Great use of the imagination!  I think it's neat that you made him, especially with no reference pictures about, but that's part of the fun, of course.  Definitely very very creepy, in a good way, and consistent with what we know about the character.  I have a totally different mental picture of the character, whom maybe I'll customize some day... hey, come to think of it, Plagueis (or characters without reference pics in general) would make a really cool Casting Call or Customizers' Challenge, no? 

Outer Rim Pilot:  I like how svelte he is (and I know why he's svelte), and I LOVE that he's basically wearing jeans.    Great transformation of that Naboo helmet (or I think that's what it is)!

Always enjoy seeing your work very much, even if it does take me a while to comment sometimes.  It's just that I want to give it the attention & time it deserves!  Happy customizing, and I look forward to more, as always.

And finally...
WANTS

This time I'm especially seeking accessories, furniture, boxes, crates, and any other props for future photocomic work.  Any sort will do, and I mean any sort. (Playmobil, anyone?)

I'm also seeking these:

- NEW Saga Taun We, one or two  It would be neat if she had the clone jar, too, but if she doesn't, that's all right.  Even just the clone chamber jar on its own is all right, too.

- Multiple heads from the ROTS AT-TE Tank Gunner, or other similar helmetless Clone-type heads.  Casts are all right, too. Update: I have a number of these on the way.

- A Saga TIE Fighter Pilot.  He can be loose, he can be accessoryless, and he can even be headless.  Just as long as his neckpost is intact.

And, as always:
Any Leias from the Princess Leia Collection
Soft goods from any 3.75" or 12" figures
Female figs & parts of almost any kind, 3.75" or 12".  (I think I have enough G.I. Joe ones for now, though.)
Anything Zuckuss

Thanks!

At first I thought this dio wasn't star wars scale size. Then I saw the emporer sitting there.

I thought the same thing the first time I saw it!  In the first few pictures especially, it really does look like a real place that one could walk through.  One can't tell that that's foamcore at all, that's how convincing it looks. 

Outstanding work.  It's so great that you were able to save this beauty from the wrath of Katrina!
