Sweet! Daggone you have some great ones.

It is so nice to see a Jaina Solo. Yours is so much better than the Hasbro version.

And a Togruata Male! Now I love Shaak Ti and Ahsoka, but it is so nice to see a male of that species.

Wow, I know one front page story for tomorrow. Mike it is great to see you over here. Folks he has some awesome customs from other lines too including some great Marvel items. I also know that this is but a small dent in the custom figures he has made. I look forward to seeing more!

Nice work on all! 

Love the Sirak; this is gotta be the first attempt I've seen at him.  I liked the character in the original Bane novel and you've done him great justice here.

Great job; welcome to the Yards!

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

THANKS A BUNCH!!! The torgruta idea came from DARTH DADDY he made like a togruta family and i was pumped up to make my own, i have a few more species of jedi on the works as well, i'm shaking this STAR WARS BUG OFF lol!! I just get those moods where i focus on one thing until i get a nother itch, LOL!!

I will share some Marvel customs on here eventually this way everybody can see whats up i am currently working on a 6 INCH SCALE FULLY ARTICULATED GALEN MAREK he will be a sight for sore eyes!!

Thanks again and thanks for the mad kudos!
