no prob Greg, glad i can help you out  :)

the Dragon heads just snap on the bodies, onto the neck stem and then you can move their heads up, down and side to side ;)

i can't wait to see the head for your Trando terrorist Phruby, it looks great already.
i wish i could do a Gamorrean terrorist, i was planning to do a vintage style, but everything kinda went crazy here and there's just no time to do it - darnit!  :-[

the Elite Force are good bodies too...very similar to the Dragon ones. Elite Force are made by BBI i believe.  i would definitely change out the ROTS clone body...even though it is better than the AOTC, its still inferior articulation-wise to a Dragon/BBI body.

this is the website i got/get my Dragon heads and bodies from...they are the most reasonable price-wise of anywhere on the web that i have seen and they ship promptly and take Paypal for payments which is nice. they charge $2.95 for Dragon bodies with hands and feet which is quite a good deal :)

Look under Body parts and you will find bodies and heads to choose from, if you want to go removable helmet for your clones.

No prob on the help...if you have any more questions, feel free to ask or PM me :)

those sound like great ideas Greg. the only suggestion that i can offer is to really make your 12" "pop" and look more Koto-ish is be sure you get a different body for the Clones. the Hasbro body is too bulky and looks pretty silly i think. i have used a Dragon body for my 12" clone and Biker Scout and i think it looks great. not only that, he now has a head so he can have a removable helmet. i just had to exacto the helmet opening to make it a little bigger.

i actually like working on the 12" for the time being better than the 3 3/4" but they take up more room when you go to display them LOL!

Phruby and jokabofe that's a great idea. i would be more than happy to "advertise" the auctions on Yakface.com. i know auctions in the past that i have showed links to get easily over 1000 looks and plenty of bids. i haven't been able to post my normal Bounty Hunting articles that spotlight ebay auctions like i used to for many personal reasons, but i would be more than happy to help anyway i can for a worthy cause.

thanks to DD, i have my Scarlett figure...just need to acquire a Micro Machines Alien for the chestburster, which now appear to be hard to find... ::)
hopefully i can win a set off ebay...and get my project really going  :)

Phruby, i really like your slicer, the robotic head and microphone are very nice touches, the whole figure came together great.
Chewie, great paint job as always on your Jedi :)

203
 :o large pics scare me  :P j/k

Phruby, your slicer is looking really cool, i like the way you incorporated the ep.1 3PO parts...can't wait to see it painted.

Chewie, i like your Jedi a lot...the expression on the face is great and i like the paint app. on the boots.

i really need to get mine started...things have just been crazy here, my husband had to have a root canal amongst everything else  :'(

Hey, thanks!  Can't wait to see your Elite Mygeeto Clone... maybe you can have me illustrate it for you in case you want to do some packaging... ;D

i'm working on 3 clones at the moment, trying to get them cleared off my desk...but as soon as the Elite Mygeeto gets done, i'll definitely contact you about a drawing :) i gotta get better with PS before i attempt a card, i'm still not too good with it yet  :-[

205
welcome jubjub  :)

i have really enjoyed your drawings on RS and they have inspired me to come up with an elite Mygeeto clone based on several things in your designs. its a WIP at the moment, but i just wanted to say thank you for sharing your wonderful talents with all of us. :)

duh, i was thinking i was on another thread! sorry about that!

great even blue paint job smartypants...can't wait to see what else you have planned!

207
DD i love your Bith terrorist, as everyone else has said its very original and the paint job really makes the figure that much better imho.  :)

i've got a few ideas for the terrorist concept, i am thinking that i am going to go with a vintage style since i have more vintage parts than anything else at the moment. i am really leaning towards a Gamorrean terrorist...if i can make it turn out right i hope. i've been caught up working on an elite Mygeeto clone, inspired by some of Jubjub's drawings. i just can't seem to get the darn clones out of my system yet...it's a complete love/hate affair.  :P

Does anyone else think Darth Ripley looks ever so slightly like Nicole Kidman in this pic? Too bad they never made any Nicole Kidman figures. But then, maybe it's just me.

I wouldn't use the Mara Jade head though, Ripley. That head would not do you justice. That figure was beaten with the uglysaber. Go with a Spy Troops Scarlett head instead.

Thanks for the nice words DD  :) funny you would mention that resemblance to nicole kidman, b/c when my husband and i got married the judge said the same thing to me.

i'm gonna try and get a Scarlett head...Mara Jade is too much on ebay anyhow, i guess she's still pretty popular with everyone out there.

i got my husband's 12" Biker Scout finished last night, so half of my project is done...just gotta move onto my own custom now.

i was thinking of just having a loose helmet to "hold" if that makes sense, b/c i will have the robes for a complete Royal Guard costume soon enough. i may get armor for underneath like Carnor Jax, but styled in a way more suitable to a female.  ;)

the gi joe bombstrike is definitely more well-endowed than myself  :-[

thanks for all the help Phruby  :)

the R2 with the human head reminds of a B'Omarr Monk, very nicely done.
i really like the Obi-Wan in Clone Armor, very fun and effective. i look forward to seeing more of your customs in the future  :)
