Re: Jodo's Customs: SA 3.75 Lyra Erso on Lah'mu (10/03)

Thank you both!!!  ;D

Another figure that I really wanted from Rogue One was Lyra Erso. She has two costumes in the movie, but I decided to go with the "homestead" version, since it's in her character's action sequence, and it also pairs well with my custom Galen Erso! I had a hard time figuring out a head that would work for this one, since the female options are so limited in 3.75 scale, and I went back and forth several times on which torso would be a viable screen accurate option...

The recipe was a bit odd, but I think it worked nicely in the end:

TPM Adi Gallia torso and arns
TFA 2-pack Rey head, skirt, and legs
Ben Kenobi Cloak (I think)

Lyra Erso (Lah'mu)

She looks great. I have often thought of looking up her bio to get to know a bit more about her.

I actually really like her as a character for some reason. The bio provided for her in the Rogue One visual guide is pretty cool!

And Rogue One content...My absolute favorite troop design is the Tank Commander, so I added him to my collection today! It's a simple repaint, so not too much work. Though it took a lot of concentration to do those fine lines. My hands shake a bit too much...

Nice job on the paint applications for the Tank Commander (even with shaky hands). I really like how Lyra turned out. That's a great addition to the Rogue One ranks. I really appreciate your sharing the recipe.

I loved Lyra in the Catalyst book. It's nice to see her realized so brilliantly in plastic! Your tank commander looks great too.

Thank you everyone!!!!!!!!! ;D

Next up is yet another Rogue One figure that again we didn't receive...The Imperial Officer in Trench Coat. You can see them in a couple of shots from the movie, and they're also in Solo! I absolutely love this costume and wish they would have been showcased a little bit more. When I can get back to it, this guy will show up in my Photonovel, so keep an eye out for him someday.

Seems like I missed the last three already...

Lyra Erso: Her costume looks very nice and the headscult is nice, too. I guess that's the best female headsculpt to represent her. It's nice to see Lyra and Galen next to each other. We probably won't see that from Hasbro until 2020 if their pace of releasing new figures continues like that.


Imperial Tank Commander: I really look up to you, FialaFernbrugg and all the other customizers who chose exactly the right shade of blue for the armor markings! Both of you made the Tank Commander excellently! It was just a no-brainer for Hasbro to release it down the road and they finally did it on NYCC2018 - money on the table. I really like the pictures you took of the commander in and next to the Assault Tank. Flat awesome!


Imperial Officer in trench coat: That's another nice RO custom! I didn't even recognize this character in Rogue One. I think it could also go along with characters of SOLO. The shade of green-grey you chose for the trench coat looks great!
But I got to admit that I got mixed feelings about the Star Wars Empire and WW2 Space Nazi analogy...but I respect that George Lucas was affected and even inspired by the events of World War II and its aftermath being born in 1944. Disney on the other hand took it too far in TFA in my opinion...


Thanks for sharing all this Rogue One goodness & have a nice weekend!

- Philipp

He turned out well - they would have been a great figure for Hasbro to do. Nice paint job!

Man, that Imperial Officer in trench coat looks really cool. As soon as I saw it I thought of the those Imperials in Rogue One.

Your Tank Commander turned out great. The colours are perfect and I love the pics with the assault tank.
The Officer in Trench Coat looks awesome. Definitively a figure I want to have for my collection.

I'm not a fan of TFA in the slightest, but I actually like the idea of an "Imperial rally" or calling the troops to formation. However, I hate the idea of Starkiller base, so any positive feelings I had towards that scene were replaced with negative ones!  :-[

Here is another Rogue One figure I threw together. Surprise, Hasbro didn't make this one either, despite being a really cool figure to have. It's Cassian Andor when he is running on the beach in the deleted scenes of the film, and also how he appears in his final moments on top the Citadel tower and on the beach with Jyn.

He is a very simple kitbash:
TBS Han in Carbonite Torso and arms
Comic Pack Imperial officer lower
TBS Cassian head and gun belt
