Master Phruby's Customs Thread

[Phrubruh]

Here is my latest Microlady. Ms. Aurra Sing. This one uses a white microlady with a medium chest size. The head, hands, holsters and guns are from the original potj Aurra Sing. The vest is a cut down vest from DS Han Solo. Enjoy!

pretty snazzy. I like this one because the joints dont stand out as much for me as the other microman customs that have been done.

Now thats a great microlady.  I think she's my favorite yet.  I think it helps that you aren't trying to show too much skin with all those joints.   My only complaint is that the arms look a little bit too long but that could just be the perspective of the picture.

[Commander_Miseria]

I noticed that as well, but i dont think its the arms, i just think its that the head is a bit small so it makes it look out of proportion

I tell ya, after everyone 'microman' custom I see finished, makes me want to make my own!

I think this is probably my fav microman custom. (altho i'm still eager to see your RC when its finished-hope i havent missed it!)

Aurra's arms always seemed to be long with Hasbro's figures as well so I think the way you have it now is perfect.  I agree though, the joints are 'hidden' very well and my eyes aren't drawn to them as much at all with this figure.

I would LOVE to see her metal antenna added somehow though. . .i know its not always visually pleasing to look at but it seems like such an important part of her that it's the only thing i can suggest that would make this impressive custom even better, lol.  Altho finding a way to actually DO it is a whole 'nother matter!

[Phrubruh]

Thanks everybody. The arms are as long as any other microlady. There are no changes there. They are portional as any other figure posted here. However, the fingers might be adding to the illusion of length. You got to remember that Aurra Sing has very long fingers. She isn't human. That is why I used the potj Sing hands instead of the traditional microlady ones for accuracy.

I do need to add the antenna. One of our cats needs to donate a whisker. Here kitty, kitty, kitty....

Oh, MM Scorch is still on the way. His armor is still being casted.

Phruby, what a cool figure you have here.  All of your microman customs are very nice, but this is my favorite.  You've made a decent figure into something special.

I would suggest one thing - maybe lowering her head a bit on that neck peg?  Other than that, I'm baffled at how you made this look so real!  Very good work Phruby!  One of the best customs I've seen in a while.

Very nice phurby. Another great figure. 
You and these micoman figures were made for each other.
DO you have them posed all wild and crazy on your shelf?

[Phrubruh]

DO you have them posed all wild and crazy on your shelf?

Thanks bros. I wish I did have them in wild and crazy positions on my shelf. Unfortunately, we are in the process of turning my office into my son's new bedroom. All of the star wars stuff except maybe the customs are going into storage while construction happens on the house. Maybe I'll get to see them again in a couple of years.

Holy crap, Phruby! Just yesterday, I was perusing tihs toystore's POTJ and Saga collection, and I kept running into Aura Sing, saying to myself how much I hated that figure. But THIS is just awesome. I think it really matches her stature n the movie, and your paint job apps give her a less cartoony feel. The use of micro(wo)man parts is excellent!

I'm not too familiar with the Microman stuff, though. Do they just come as already-designed characters, or do they sell "blanks" for customizing and such?

Great work!

[Phrubruh]

They do come in blanks and a rainbow of colors. The women come in different chest sizes too. Check ebay under microman to see what I mean. Zira28 is the best seller of these things. They come from Japan in about three days.

[Ruprecht]

Well done Paul, well done.  Not one of my favorite characters, but you nailed it.  You have a knack for painting and accessorizing those microman/lady bodies in a way that helps deemphasize the joints, and I think this one is your best effort yet.

[darth_ripley]

Phurby, this has to be the best microman/lady custom i have seen. it is by far my favorite that you have done. Aurra really lends herself to this platform and the paint apps are superb. the only nitpick i can "pick" is the head is a little high (neck a tiny bit long) otherwise its excellent.

[Phrubruh]

Thanks Ruprecht  and Ripley. She was fun to do.

Here are some ideas for some future microlady customs.

white microlady for a snowbunny Padme.
green microlady for Oola
flesh microlady for white dress princess leia
green and blue microladys for Tonika sisters.
black microman for stormtrooper, clones, darth vader
flesh microman for han solo, luke skywalker

[BrentS]

black microman for darth vader
 

I vote for this one.
