From Hoth to Tatooine to Geonosis, etc. he has just done some marvelous work. Click on through and enjoy yourself just like I did. Tell me you wouldn't want that Degobah Dio in your collection!
Its an update from Mr. Black! -- Posted by Tamer on Friday, May 24 2013

As you can see by his update on Death above he is still heavily involved in various customizing endeavors. Click on through and see what he is up too!
Is Ron Hembling awesome or what! -- Posted by Tamer on Friday, May 24 2013 The image you see above is not a movie still from Raiders of the Lost Ark, but a diorama created by Hemble (Ron Hembling). I just don't know he does it, but then again when he gives us new images he always gives us a basic tutorial and what products he has used in his creation. Talk about a great ambassador for our hobby. Ron has been doing things like this for years and sharing it with us all. Thanks Ron!
CloneTroopr makes me miss my Republic Commando Game... -- Posted by Tamer on Friday, May 24 2013
Take a look at the sniper rifle he made for Sev and tell me you don't want a new version of this. Hands down for me, RC was the and still is the best first person shooter I have ever seen. EA if you are listening, get us a new version of this. Till then click on through and enjoy the great new work from CloneTroopr.
Mr. Jedi 1977 gives us more Cantina Figures! -- Posted by Tamer on Friday, May 24 2013
From Mr. 77, " Hi everyone just a quick update today ... Today we have Merc Sunlet , two versions of Jenny I made aversion with pants and a version with a skirt since she is seen in the rough draft in the Cantina with a skirt on. Anyway I have redone two figures one was of Danz Borin I was never satisfied with my original version , and the other is of Bo Shek with articulation in the backround you can see Darthstreams custom card backs who again i want to thank for helping me out with my project. Enjoy!" As you can see by his description, there is a lot to see.
Lucasclones shows us the RC Finale! -- Posted by Tamer on Friday, May 24 2013
We have all been enjoying his realistic versions of the Republic Commandos he has been working on. I think they turned out fantastic as you can see by the image above. Trust me, this little click will be one that will put a smile on your face. Ah, if only they could make a set of AT-AT Driver with articulation and paint work like that. It sure doesn't hurt that he knows how to take a picture too.
Listen to the live Q and A with Dayton Allen on May 25th! -- Posted by Tamer on Thursday, May 23 2013
We perhaps know him better as Sith Fire 30 and he has been gracious enough to give Custom Action Figure News a few interviews and talk about true genius when it comes to our hobby. Well now he has given us word that he is going to focus exclusively on his Alien Work we have all been enjoying. Click this link to learn more and be sure to be live; May 25th at 3PM Eastern Time. The Tamer will be there with bells on! I also found out that he will be doing this on his birthday of all days, now that is dedication!
Tankster shows us a Desolation Light Mech... -- Posted by Tamer on Thursday, May 23 2013
"Light-Mechs are common around industries towns and cities used primarily for heavy labor and lifting (like a Forklift) sometimes they are outfitted with weaponry to defend or attack. As shown here Darkhorse is piloting a Light-Mech that just happens to have a Rail Gun and arm blade attachment gun can be removed if nessasary." Needless to say I find all of this absolutely fantastic and think it is one of those you must view full size (hit the aforementioned link) to appreciate. The devil is in the details they say and Daniel just handles them precisely.
JLW515 shows some great JOE Customs... -- Posted by Tamer on Thursday, May 23 2013
I really enjoyed seeing his custom work go with his custom graphics. Like Lady Jaye above, he is really making great strides with some Leia Faces as applied to JOE Figures. I would probably have never guessed some of his awesome recipes. Click on through to see them all.
I just can't get enough of these Jumbos! -- Posted by Tamer on Wednesday, May 22 2013
When I saw the cardback from the Jumbo Gamorrean Guard that had all the great Vintage TESB Characters I knew it was gonna be one great year for my GG Kenner 12 inch Jumbo Obsession. The latest one up for pre-order is the Zuckuss 12 incher from The Empire Strikes Back. I can't wait to get them all side by side on display. I am even thinking of building a display specifically for these I like em so much. What is great is that you can remove em from the package without damaging the bubble or cardback and then return them without noticing a thing.
