May the 4th be with you all on this fantastic Star Wars day.

Why fantastic?

Well, because I just finished a project that I have been wanting to complete for a very long time. I finally finished a Numa action figure.

She's sculpted entirely by hand.  The arms are modified ones from a Ben Quadrinaros action figure.  The feet are from a Vintage Phantom Menace Anakin Skywalker.  The head and torso were made with Apoxie Sculpt that was applied to the torso and head of a Hiccup How to Train Your Dragon action figure that I dremeled down to a skeleton.  I made Numa a cross between the Clone Wars depiction of Numa and the Sideshow version that came with Waxer and Boil.  This was my first attempt at sculpting a head from scratch, but it worked out alright.  This probably now stands as my favorite custom of all time, but I'm sure I'll unseat it one day.

I worked on this figure while interviewing Lucasclones with Tamer on CAFN.  

I've seen her on a lot of fan lists asking Hasbro to make her, but the Clone Wars kid friendly line hasn't created the cool Star Wars children like Numa and Jaybo Hood.  I guess they'll be sidelined like Kitster and Wald.

Anyhow, here she is ;)

If that casting roundtable goes well, maybe I can mass produce her. ;)

"It worked out alright" he says... That's an understatement if I've ever read one, Brian. That particular episode was great and you've done one helluva job creating her. I'm really impressed with this one.

Beautiful work, as usual with your customs. What do you do with all of these when they're complete?

Uh, yeah...she's "okay"...as Wayne & Garth would say "Shaahhh, right!"

I saw this at RS earlier today and was floored by your work.  Truly a piece worthy of this space epic that we love so much.  Simply said: Bravo!

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

Nice sculpting! Props on capturing those juvenile proportions, which can be difficult. This is a figure I've been meaning to do at some point, since my son loves the CW Ryloth episodes. Might have to flatter you with some imitation!
