Title: Toryn Farr by darth_sidious
Post by: darth_sidious on October 3, 2009, 08:06 PM

Hi, here is my Toryn Farr custom figure, as seen in the ESB during the attack on Echo Base (w/ accessory).  I figured Hasbro might never get around to her, so I made one myself:

I'll snap a full body image too, and add it soon!

Dude, that looks awesome.  I swear I've seen that phot before though - did you post it elsewhere?  Can't wait to see more shots of the full figure!

Thanks guys, I posted this pic at YF as well, there is a 'ladies of SW' challenge and I showed this figure off along with at least a half dozen other female customs I've made as reference - to inspire the challenge.  ;)

Here is the full body version of Toryn Farr, I made a few upgrades on her - painted her microphone, belt, drybrushed the vest to give it a dusty look, and swapped out the boots.

Darth_sidious,

That's a fine figure...  I like the parts useage, and the headsculpt selection is nice.  It's always tough in the decision on whether you want to re-use a Leia or Padme headsculpt for another character in Star Wars but I think Farr is a character you can pull that off with.

She'd make a good entry in the Jedi Defender Customizing Contest (http://www.jedidefender.com/yabbse/index.php?topic=19291.0), which includes her as one of the characters you can give a go at! 

***hint hint hint*** haha

That is one hell of a custom its understated and extremley well executed it looks very Hasbroesque its great when people do customs that are people in the background nice work man

I appreciate the comments guys - I agree that its hard to use a Leia or Padme head for other female characters most of the time, but I found with the VOTC Leia head, that it doesnt really look like Carrie Fisher - and worked well for Toryn Farr.  And thanks for the reminder Jesse - Toryn will be my submission for the contest.  ;)
