Congratulations on the newest addition to your collection!! But you do know that in a few years, all your SW stuff WILL become his, don't you?  I have a 20 month old nephew who's already snagged a few WOS Simpsons and an old 12 in. Frankenstein from me, but hey, I can't say no.  Good luck!

Thanks for all the comments, guys. Its great to hear, especially from some of you who's customs I've gawked over for a long time. Here's some more:

Yoxgit



Ugnaught head on a Zutton body, repainted a brighter red. The head didn't fit too well so I had to trim his collar.

Yak Face



That's right, its Yak Face, not Salt Marie or whatever that garbage is. Joe Camel here is repainted to look more like the vintage figure, and I THINK is more movie accurate (the smokey sail barge is kind of hard to see in).  Either way, the pastels of the POTF2 figure had to go. I also trimmed his coat.

Barada- Skiff Guard



I had an extra Barada lying around so I repainted him to match the one with red pants on the skiff. I also added some swivel joints to his wrists.

Geezum



I like this guy. He's so goofy looking. I just popped a Zutton head on a repainted Barada body. I really like doing the obscure background characters. He'll go great in my Jabba's Palace dio...whenever that's built.

Gailid



So, I did this custom after seeing a pic of him in Starwars.com photo archive thing. I did some research on wookieepedia and find out he was a tax collector....wow, that's not very exciting. Anyway, he's got a EU Cloud Car Pilot head (with some sculpey hair) on a Ellors Maddok body. The hip holster came from a 21 Cent. WWII figure.

More to come!!

That Ithorian guy rocks! I've always loved the "Hammerhead" figures/characters, I think they're one of the coolest designs in the entire SW saga. I plan on getting a bunch of the new TSC ones (once they finally show up here) and doing some wacky customs. Is that a Xizor robe on him? Good work!

Wow ! Thanks for the compliments, espcially from you other customizers. I'm a big fan of your work, too!
I'm still experimenting with lighting and backgrounds for photos (photography has always been my weak point) so hopefully I can get some good qualities pics up soon.
Here's a few more:

Hooda Badoolah


This guy is the bartender for a fanfic cantina diorama I'm working on. He's got a Burger King Kid's Meal Small Soldiers head (those big, loose-figure-for-$1 bins at the flea markets hold some real gems!) on an Ask Aak body, the boots are from some old unknown fantasy figure from the '80s.

Cro Shempus


Basically a repainted Evil Ash from Palisades with POTF2 Han Endor jacket. I'm figuring he's a bounty hunter with questionable ethics.

AC- Triple Six


This re-wired for action Protocol Droid is part of Naggatoo's smuggler crew. He's a SAGA2 3PO/Battle Droid body, gun and backpack with an 8D8 head. He's actually painted with a metallic black, with lots of wear, but the lighting in the pic washed it out  I'll try to take better ones!

Unnamed Smuggler



Still working on a backstory for this guy. He's a ROTS Saesee Tiin head and neck post on a Dash Rendar body, with a POTF2 Tie Pilot rifle (finally found a use for those monstrosities), old GI Joe backpack, and goggles from a BBI figure.

More to come!

Hey guys...I've been admiring the customs on here for a while, figured it was about time I posted some of mine. A little background first-

I think I first started customizing back when I was a kid, I remember doing a few head swaps and paint changes (with that damn testors model paint that never dried- I didn't find out about acrylics until a few years later). I had such elaborate customs like "Leia Bespin's head on a Cloud Car Pilot's body" and "Han's head on the extra Gen. Madine with camo sleeves".  Unfortunately, these no longer exist. I really got into doing customs the right way around my big SW resurgence of '92. I did the usual- Tarkin, Rebel Trooper, Cantina Band Member- all the guys I wanted as a kid but were never made. I stuck to vintage style (I figured why waste time/money/figures on a POTF2 style custom when Hasbro will probably do one much better than mine?). This customizing kick lasted until '98 when time and space became limited. I just started up again last year, concentrating on obscure characters and original designs. I also try to take some existing figures and fixing them up to look more movie accurate.

Here's the first batch- I have about 30-50 more that I still have to take pics of, and many more on the "to-do" list. 

Bith Rebel:


I got the idea for this guy from the little Minatures figure seen in the pic. I don't play the game but saw him for a buck in a comic store and thought he looked cool and would make a nice full size figure.

Ugnaught:

I had a few Ugnaught 2 packs so I created this guy for a little variety. Just a repaint and parts swap.

The Rat-faced Imperial Officer from the beginning of SW:

Does this guy have a name? I think the decipher card game called him "Dain Jir"....but that's just silly.

Naggatoo (Space Pirate/Smuggler/Fan Fic character of mine):

I've been working on a back story for this guy and several other customs, I might even try to do a photonovel.

I'll try to update with more later on. Comments, critiques and hate mail are welcome. Hope you like them, thanks for looking!

20. Klaatu (Jabba's Palace)

Hey guys....I've been a long time visitor to the site and FINALLY got around to actually signing up. I've been into SW since....well, I guess August of 1977, saw it for the first time the day after THE KING died (that's Elvis for you youngsters that have no idea what I'm talking about). I was 3 years old and it's one of the earliest memories I have. Obviously, the next step was starting my addiction to Star Wars toys.
28 years later, I'm still a junkie! Hope I'm in good company here.
