The recipe sounds good, I can expect a lot of folks will want a realistic Vebb in their Jedi Customs Collection. Why Hasbro won't do things like this I have no idea, but that is the reason we have customizers like you.

You would think with how money grubbing they are...they would do things like this in a heart beat. My wife and I talk about this a lot, that we think hasbro watches sites like this, and other star wars related sites, ebay the net in gerenal too what the hot ticket custom people make.
Then they go for making them. Problem with that, there are too many already better version out there, that people would want and hasbro takes tem down several notches so they don't sell well.

Mind if I ask what parts you used for Even Piel and both Sora Bulq?

Dont mind at all...

Sora's upper body  and head- original sora
kama- mace widnu from the 30th line
legs are honestly something I pulled from my parts bin
The Boots are from those same pair of legs, but I redid them adding shrink/heat shrink wrap too them making them bigger and more realistic.

Even Piel
His upper body is from the clone wars Piel, but redone and sculpted too look like real robes
The head is from the piel we got a long time ago, but I reworked the face, can't see in the pics because well, they suck. I have to get some real pics up.
The legs- are a combonation of  Han solo upper legs, and the lower legs are ceremonial Luke from the 30th line.

Oooohh...this looks gooood!  Love the added bulk you've given him in the sculpt.  I just wish that the face that Hasbro gave him wasn't so teddy bear-like.  He needs some larger fangs or something to give him that "Stay back, I'm dangerous" feel.  

Light side, dark side...meh.  Just give me a lightsaber and a blaster and I'll take care of it!
