What I Made...They Made...6

General Jan Dodonna:

Again one of the 1st few figures I made. I took a  a Chancellor Finis Valorum head and an Endor Han Solo to make the Yavin 4 base leader. There are errors with what I created, sort of a combination of Dondonna in his long lab coat and his field jacket. Years later  a decent Dodonna was released and with the new Captain Raymus Antilles you could head swap the head and jacket and get the General in both his New Hope outfits.

My Friends... small, plastic and funny

Every now and then I'll turn a loved one, or friend (or friend of a friend) or coworker into a we little plastic person

A co-worker who got married:

She: altered Princess Leia ceremonial outfit

He: altered Elan Sleazebaggano with a Military head

A friend's dad:

A-Team's Templeton 'Faceman' Peck with an Endor Trooper head and G.I. Joe Will Bill hat

An Administrative Assistant friend:

Marion Ravenwood from Indiana Jones and the Starkiller head from the McQuarrie Collection

Friend's fiance and their cat...

G.I. Joe Shipwreck body with Wedge (POTF pilot) head.

He's a plumber so i got a toilet seat and plunger from a doll house shop, the seat is soooo not to scale..."Look at the size of that thing!" it...large butted folk must live there

Two best friends...who got married last year"

Simpsons repaints and a Lisa Simpson head swap to a Patty or Selma body...the eyeglasses were made from a small astronaut helmet and some black sticky-foam

Bad, Cheap, Simple Dioramas

Trying to find cool ways to show off the customs ... blank white backdrop? Blue? Grey?

Images from a galaxy far far away ...CHECK

What I made ... What They Made 4

Over the years some of my customs were way ahead of hasbro - not in quality , just in the creation. Weak skills, sort of winging it, my were a perfect filler until Hasbro finally gets them made...

Thanks to Rebelscum.com and JediInsider.Com for their image banks (saves me a whole lotta pic taking)

A Rodian Mechanic - who got a name years later as Pax Bonkik

My early Quinlan Vos was an amalgam of Han Solo head, Episode 1 Kenobi and Ki Adi Mundi

My Tagge had a Davy Jones wig I guess

Talon Karrde , one the first I ever did, just in a different outfit

BG-J38, another of my earliest works, wrong color, and almost got the head right...meh

Chief Bast

Wedge in Dress Uniform

Butlar Swan ( a real pain to try to sculpt hair)

finally a Weequay Skiff Guard who is coming out later in 2011

What I Made...They Made

Every now and then (more so now lately) Hasbro would put out a figure that I already made some time earlier. Captain Antilles here was made from a Fleet Trooper, Garindan and Ponda Baba. (all Power of the Force Figures I think)
