The idea of Vader at a bachelor party made me laugh out loud. Those easily offended should probably not read the following. (Although now that I've said that, you probably can't help yourself. It's okay.)



Vader: (Watching stripper) "Padme! Noooooooooooooooooooooooooo!"

Stormtrooper 1: "Man, who invited that guy? He is seriously ruining my buzz."

Stormtrooper 2: "Yeah, he's a real wet blanket. He was at Ozzel's bachelor party...you know, the one where the chick was ****ing a Bantha? And he was a sourpuss the whole time."

Stormtrooper 1: "Oh yeah, the chick with the Bantha! You know, I thought that was going to be cooler than it was. But when I got there, I mean...it was really a chick ****ing a Bantha."

Stormtrooper 2: "Yeah, I felt bad. I mean, he was really giving it to her."

Stormtrooper 1: "I kind of felt bad for the Bantha."

Vader: "Padme...Padme...*sob!*"

Stormtrooper 1: "Holy crap, dude. Who the hell is Padme, anyway?"

Stormtrooper 2: "I think it's some chick he was with before the whole Vader thing. Y'know, before he changed his name and started having to poop in the suit. Probably why she left him."

Stormtrooper 1: "Wait...Vader's not his real name?"

Stormtrooper 2: "Nah. I think it's Corey."

*Apologies to all of you, and the writers of the 40 Year Old Virgin. 

Option 3, Chewie. Man, I can't wait to see the "Special Edition"s. 

I love the Qui Gon, he really looks like he's throwing down. Why Hasbro hasn't done an updated Qui-Gon I'll never know. It looks great as is, but if it were mine, I'd have to make the boots accurate...I am way too OCD to leave them as is, but that's me.

If you do ever switch them out I'd suggest using the ones from the Opee Qui-Gon creature set, for the ankle articulation.

Thanks, guys!

hyourittai, I agree on the Evo head...it's my favorite of all the clone heads, with the exception of Jango himself...but that head doesn't work for everyone.

Happy Easter. everybody!

Ripley: Always good to hear from you in my thread! Believe it or not, The Whipid's paint job looks much better in person...I'll have to try to get a pic that shows off the fur variation a little better. I have to give credit where it's due, though...all I did was try to imitate Chewie on this one. I never did a lot of dry brushing until I saw what great effects he achieved with them. You should check out the Commando books/game, they're quite enjoyable. As for the Trando, I am indeed going to give his cloak a wash, maybe some other camo...but as for the loud shirt, it was actually sort of intentional. For some reason while making this guy I imagined him as having no fashion sense. 

Kit Fisto: Scorch is still tough to find, but since he's started shipping two per case in some waves, I've found had better luck. I'm sure one of us could hunt one down for you if you need it. The Null Arc is an EE exclusive clone (I had a tub of these thanks to Red5sixx) with these parts:

Modified Scorch backpack with some greeblies glued on
AT-RT Driver gun and bandolier
BBI Holster with styrene strips
Verpine is cobbled together from three different guns, all cut up
Stormtrooper rifle
The Detonator comes from some old Batman figure, I think
VOTC Jango viewfinder

Not pictured: Ration Pack (BBI figure)
Vibroblade: Kabe figure

Hemble: Thanks a lot for the compliments on the paint apps; that means a lot coming from you!

BrentS: The trandos are some of my favorite aliens...probably why I keep going back to them! Not to mention with their feet and claw limitations, it's always a challenge to do something fresh with them.

Hey ExJedi,

Great job on the Cody revamp, you put Hasbro to shame.

I like it so much I think I'll post it on 'scum and pretend it's mine.

You may be able to fix up Dhalsim:

That's Sagat. 

Any of In Rem's suggestions would work...personally, I made my bare chested Darth Sion from Major Barrage...you might also be able to find an old GI Joe "Road Pig" body, but Kit would be AWFULLY buff.

Hey Kit,

I like this custom a LOT. You really went the extra mile with the paint app, and the details like weapons belts, the map, the viewfinder and the like. Joe bodies are difficult to use without being somewhat conspicuous, but you have pulled it off nicely.

The only criticism I have is the head and boots. The beanie (or bandana, as the case may be) are a little too "earth" for me, as are the laced up combat boots. But those are just matters of personal preference. I really like the overall look of this guy, and agree with Chewie...you should consider a consolidated thread.
