I haven't encountered the K-3PX before - looks like it was in a W/M Droid Factory 2-pack?  Is it a build-a-droid or a standard figure?  I need to get one - I love that head-sculpt.  (I see some on ebay...)

I also found a couple of Geonosis R2's with the panel - very nice.  How did you go about removing the head so it could be replaced with the R5 dome?  I leave my regular astromechs alone, since getting BAD parts is rather easy.  (I'm considering taking a BAD R5 head and making it a binocular version then molding and casting it...)

To remove the head, I line up the head seam with the body seam, put the astromech in boiling water for 20 seconds, pop off the legs and pry the body apart through the leg holes with needle nose pliers. The head splits at the same time.

Wow, ok.  I'll have to hunt down a sacrificial R2 and practice that.  Thanks!

Droidworld,

This is one of the best updates I've seen... The comic book look you created was simply beautiful, I had to double take when I first saw the images as I thought you had copied the figures from a comic book and had shown us the original images. The graphic style reminds me of the original Star Wars comics from the 70's...magic, really magic.

The paintwork on the sisters is equally amazing, their faces look real...again I had to double take as I thought you had photoshopped the heads.

Stunning creativity my friend!

Found a Jakks Pacific PT Yoda at a thrift store.  Turned him into OT Yoda.
