Sorry for the crappy pic, but check out my newest Biker, on the left. Notice how his midsection is darker than the right (which is the same color as the ones in the JD Images). Is this just a paint mess up? Running change? Variation? Has anyone else seen one with a torso that dark?

The ones that I ordered from Asia have a bright red stripe on the backpack whereas the ones that I bought at Target have a dull red stripe.  The ones that I ordered from Asia have the darker midsection and it looks like an alternate form of weathering along the boots and stuff. 
Not sure if that's because they were making these figures "after dark" or if it was just the first shipment of these figures.  I like the "store bought" versions better.

Jeez Glorbes, you're a friggin' arteest!  I love this entire "series" that you've been putting out.  I really like the concept R2.  The fact that you made him from what is essentially "garbage" is just awesome! 
As usual, the paint apps and sculpting are top notch.  I'm so glad you joined here and decided to share these excellent customs with us!

Thanks for the clearer pics Fritz!  Those figures look amazing!  I hope they get decent US Distribution (at least through my local comic shops...)

Darth_Ennis - I picked up some of those BBi figures about a month or so ago.  I really like the WW2 figures, they are much better than the 21st Century Toys figures from walmart. 
I did not like the bearded/bare arms guy.  His arms are molded in green and the paint on mine chipped horribly.  Pretty lame.  Also, as Jesse mentioned, the hat is molded on.   

Daaayaamn CHEWIE!  You've been a busy wookiee!

The upgrade on the Emperor looks great, I think I'll have to try this one.

Tribill Shell - Excellent civilian figure.  The use of the Jedi upper body/tunic works very well with that paint scheme.  I can definitely see this guy walking around outside of the Cantina or Dexter's.

Peace Officers - I have to say, I love the use of the RotS #14 Chancellor Palpatine legs.  I've bought about 5 or 6 on eBay in the past few weeks specifically for the legs.  Excellent custom fodder and you put them to good use on these figures.

Peace Officers Rykrof and Tylin - Very cool.  The use of the Madine tunic is very well done and is definitely in keeping with the style of the uniform.  The only thing that I would change would be to give them different arms (maybe RotS Kit Fisto arms) and paint them to match, that way they would be super-articulated.

Xizor - AWESOME!  I love how simple you made his costume.  He looks great!  I think he's my favorite of the update

Broth Teller - Very nice use of parts here.  Does he have ROTS #14 Palpatine's legs or did you leave him legless?  I might ahve to try something like this with all of my extra Palpatine's torso/robes.

RotS Scout Troopers - I think I might like your version of these guys better than the actual "film-accurate" version.  The dry brushing is excellent and whoever is getting these figures is lucky indeed!

I agree with some of the other comments, the WiP version looked a bit better in my opinion.  The all red scheme is kind of too much for me.
Still, since you are going to add some more black paint apps, I'll wait until I see the final version to comment further.  I was surprised how cool the Sandperson head looked on the Clone body. 

Nice use of parts, even the Jedi-Kick Obi-Wan (man, I hate that figure, but your custom turned out well  )

I would consider changing the color scheme on the Guardian figure, maybe even reversing the black and red (kind of like Kir Kanos and ... damn, brain fart, forget the other guy's name...  )

I agree with your comments about Xentor, he looks great.  The parts go together very well and he looks "factory"

Nice update!

I like the color scheme, although I would probably give it a darker shade of grey and maybe another lighter, contrasting color (I'm thinking something like Jango's Slave 1, but obviously with different colors). 
I really like the "Bantha" Skull (or whatever it's called), it looks very sharp. 
I don't think I would put a Mando helmet on the wing though.  Maybe Boba Fett's "Wheat" symbol or something like that. 

The writing on the side and the lightsaber "kill" marks look awesome, I would leave them as is 

More fun with Sideshow Luke 





Man, I love this figure!
I hope you guys appreciate my 100% movie accurate Skiff railing
