Welcome to the Yards! Glad to see your work here as your Jedi are very nice. I have to say the first is my pick of the lot. The parts work great together and I love the SE scarf. Great job on the paint and weathering! The second Jedi is suffering from anorexic thighs, they are smaller than arms. I know the fodder you have determines what parts you use buy if you could switch out the things on him it would be an awesome figure. The rest looks great and has the same quality paint work as the first. Well done and I can't wait to see more of your work!
NICE! Both are great. The lightsabers came out better than you think.
Thanks Rich. I someday hope to do some type of Jedi temple & Sith temple looking backgrounds for both sets. I have NO experience at making any of that stuff so it will be down the road.
I would like to thank TAMER for helping me with my banner.
Both these guys look great; I really like the Gand jedi though. I love the unique features you put into your custom sabers. Did you use plain string or is it some tackified stuff that is wrapped around the saber staff?
Wow! Jedi Master Zhain Timal is just awesome! Very creative man I love your style! The last one is an exelent NPKB!
wow that lightsaber is awesome it has that ancient look to it great man ;D
awesome lightsaber!
Anyone had any luck with the new vintage figures?yeah no luck lol im not even making special trips anymore gas to much !

that lightsaber handle was also released in the saga 2002-2003 with senator jar jar binks
love that jedi though
This is my vision of Mace Windu if he had survived the duel with Palpatine and Anakin. This is an infinities custom.

what is the part list on this, its awesome!
The lightsaber hilt is actually a piece off a piece of 10 cent toy fodder at a local collectors shop.
I appreciate the kind words. I was a bit concerned about this custom because the skin tones don't match one hundred percent. I was thinking it might make it seem kind of cheesy.
Did anyone notice that? Does anyone feel that this is a major issue?
Another part I was not sure about was the size of the head. I wasn't sure if it was too big.
Any thoughts?
Please...I appreciate the tips and advice. Who knows if I find a head that fits better, you never know, this may be updated.
Mungo, have you seen that Nick Fury head with the spot-on Samuel Jackson sculpt (i.e. the one with the eye patch)? It came in a Toys R Us exclusive Iron Man pack, but looks like it could be an interesting replacement if you ever updated this fig (not saying that it needs to be at all). Just a thought that crossed my mind...
I've been looking through customs here on the Yards and I love your custom Jedi; I'd love to feature one or more of them in cameos as 3D models in my Tales From The Clone Wars web-comic, if that's alright with you?
EDIT: Here's an example I knocked up of your Chiss, Roth'os Set, if you like it:

I Like It.
Which Boussh Body Did You Use?
I would love to see an overall shot of all your Jedis sometime.
Ofcourse I own three of these myself. They are sitting on my desk at work!
Just wondering has anyone had any more luck with the newer vintage figures. Not seeing much change in the Nashville, TN area. Still filled with Zuckuss, Dengar, Cloud Car Pilots, and that generic clone trooper.ONLY AT WALMART.anywhere else for me is the same
Eggcelent!
Cool Mando! What body did you use?
Oh yeah, I like a good Mando.
On the front page. That Commander works great as a Mando.
Nice Mando! Yes, it is the comic pack CC figure.
I love that mando, looks great, and so did that cake. Sorry I wasn`t here, :-[, HAPPY late BIRTHDAY
never heard of celebraty aprentice, is it SW related?
Great Mando! Love the color scheme too!
Oh thats a great one!
to be honest i'm not too sure on the robes, and the colour of the robes.
but thats just me, your figure do what you want with it
Awesome! Kel Dors have long been a favorite of mine! Plo Koon is the man!!! Ever play Jedi Power Battles for PS1?
Cool Kel Dor, and I thought Bulk was pretty cool too, so....(http://www.ciurla.com/kesselrunreview/images/ISYcard_14_Bulk.jpg)
You did great! Where's the purple Jango from? I'd read complaints about the color being off on one of the recent versions but never saw which one.
The repainted helmet and strange color of the original figure really makes this look like a whole new character and not just another Jango. I like it!
Very nice job on him!! :D
any new jedi on the custom table?
Holy cow. I like this one too.
That color makes him stand out more imo. He will be on the fp by tomorrow!
Cool. I like how you did the paint on the helmet. Which head did you use?
Nice work on the new Mando; I don't see anything wrong with the helmet paint apps---they look good.
The added design on his chest armor helps set him apart from other, similar Mando figs. I like the work you did on this guy!
Creepy and very well done!!
great job on Darth Sion Mungo
he is one of my favorite Sith
Awesome alien Jedi! You know I love all things aliens! I also try to throw Wooof's pieces into anything I can! Such a versatile sculpt on that figure! Bravo!
Good one Mungo. I like that arms behind his back pose. On the front page.
Lookin' good did you make that stuff up or did you like look it up on wookiepeedia.
COOL!
May not be your best but daaaaaaaaaaaaang! What an awesome concept!!!
Still looks good, no matter if it's your best or not! I second AFE: it's a great concept for sure!
I think shininess of him looks like he came out of the water. So nice job Mungo!
Cool fig. The shine is from the perspiration after a long, hard work-out kicking some Sith butt!
I like that one...great idea. Love the staff, but the look of the sith is just super cool and makes you wonder...What does this guy look like underneath that mask.
I wasn't sure if you made him up or not because he looks like he should be in a comic or was,but I know you didn't rip him off LOL,and I'm sure he was completely original.like I said,I'm not up to date with the comics recently so I had never seen him,so I was about 90% positive you made him up,but was just checking,and didn't want to sound like a Star Wars noob.he's awesome,and should be in a comic or something.I would love for you to make me a couple of Sabers for my custom Jedi figures.we'll have to talk about that.I'll send you a PM if thats cool,and your down for that. :D
Brag away, man - you done good!!
I'm diggin' the new Sith Lord. I especially like his custom saber. Always a fan of the differently-styled saber hilts!
Still seeking someone with a copy of this issue of SW Insider. Have a question.
Thanks for your encouragement and as always for posting my fig on the FP, especially when there are so many other better customizers than myself. Again, thank you!
Hey everyone, what is the best stuff to use for sculptin Twi'lek's lekku?Blue/Yellow Epoxy (Greenstuff) will achieve the consistency you are looking for.
Any hints? Good brands?
I need some advice. Never sculpted much and want it to smooth well, but also not be rock hard and break. Needs to be solid, but flexible. Anyone have any good suggestions?
Know where I can buy it? Is it available at Wal-Mart, K-Mart, etc...?Any hobby store will carry the stuff usually (hobby stores that sell models, not the hobby stores that are for women...but they might). As for a brand...any brand of the stuff will do.
@ ghostskull18 - Thanks. I am really glad you like it.
My gosh: awesome in every sense of the word! I love how well the soft goods seem to work with this guy and the addition of the Plo Koon hands is a detail I didn't miss; great choice there!
Thank you Darth and ghoskull. Compliments from the both of you mean a lot!
@ GhostSkull - The boot on the other leg was molded by me. It didn't turn out EXACTLY how I wanted it too, but at a certain point, I just decided to go with it and paint it black.
For the most part you are right, but the regular Black Line (3 and 3/4) is supposed to have more detail and more than 5 poa. For the most part those coming now are the ones we saw for the Legacy 2 line up, but supposedly 50 new figures in the following year if things improve from what I have gleaned in my travels. But yes, for the most part pretty depressing.
What's sad is that in 2015 when EVII is released, Hasbro will want to release all these new figures and will just assume we will be willing to buy the something THEY choose. I never try to advocate a boycott, but I hope this is the worst year ever for Hasbro's sales in SW toys. Maybe if they are hit in the pocket book, they will take a long hard look at the product they sell and what can be done to make it better.
Just curious is there any talk of having a ISY Secret Santa this year?
