Custom Figures / Re: customsforthekid.blogspot.com 1/28/24
« Last post by darthdaddy on Today at 03:20:45 AM »May the 4th Be With You! This will only be one of many reveals you are sure you to come across on this year's Star Wars Day!
Today we have a figure reveal for you all! Fozec is an action figure Dad has been wanting to add to my collection for many years now. Fozec received some serious screen time in the Jabba's Palace scenes from "Return of the Jedi". Fozec can be found behind Han and Leia after Han was freed from his Carbonite block and Fozec was also standing behind Jabba when Luke first arrived at Jabba's Palace and making his iconic fall into the Rancor pit.
Thanks to some friends of ours we were able to bring Fozec to life. We had a friend overseas who provided us with a headsculpt that they had made and another friend provided us with Fozec's trident. From there we just needed to sculpt our own torso, some legs, and some arms. Dad and I took turns with all of the sculpting passes on this figure until all that we had left to do was add some paint to the completed sculpt. Dad and I took turns here with the paint too and what you see is the final result of all of our efforts.
Fozec was a spy for the Empire who kept tabs on Jabba's activities for the ISB. He secretly hoped to leave the Empire and pursue lucrative opportunities in the criminal underworld.

Misc. non Star Wars / Re: New, Non-Star Wars Purchases
« Last post by The Spectre on Yesterday at 05:31:45 PM »After work thrift store score!
I Found another one of these "Snap Ships" at the thrift store for the same $3.99 I paid for the one last week (same ship as well), this one isn't factory sealed like the other one was, but it sounds like the box is mostly full.
After opening it up, it is only missing the 2 micro figures, the spring-loaded launcher and the 5 projectiles, and one of the double sized detail pieces, not too bad.

Off to share.
Man I love the Mando, but that pilot is just tons better than the original. Geesh.

Star Wars Television / Re: Star Wars The Bad Batch
« Last post by DarthHawk on May 02, 2024, 05:36:40 PM »Just watched the final episode.
Started out slow and mundane due to it was all about nomega and her escape plan. YAAAAWWWWNNNN!!
From there the action ramped up and the battle/battles began.
Overall, this was probably the best episode of this season but it wasn't going to take much to reach that claim.
Extremely predictable. Everything you thought would happen, happened.
Everyone you thought would be killed, died.
If you thought it would be destroyed, it is now a pile of rubble.
Tarkin makes a statement that solidifies the timeline of this show.
If your a sappy romantic, a lover of the tear shedding all's well that ends well then you will love the ending/epilogue.
I'm still not sure about the death/existence of Tech.
I read elsewhere that it was revealed that CX-1 is actually Tech but I didn't see that revelation occur.
Lastly, this show could have been so much better. Could have resonated with the fans if only the BB had been
portrayed for why they were created. The nomega factor just destroyed so much of the enjoyability we should have experienced.

First up is my ex-Journeyman Protector (trainer of Commander Bacara).
While not directly a clone, this character is clone-related. A likely member of the Cuy'val Dar - "those who no longer exist." Hand-picked Mandalorians chosen by Jango Fett himself to train the clone army.
Not a very complicated custom. Body is a Boba Fett (Mandalorian) figure. Cybernetic arm is a Marauder Task Force part. Head piece is also from Marauders. Kama is just some leftover fabric from my Galactic Marines overhaul.
Commander Bacara was trained by a Journeyman Protector who is never named or shown. Thought I would change that. This guy is loosely inspired by Kal Skirata (whom I repurposed in an earlier custom) as well.
https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Unidentified_ex-Journeyman_Protector
He doesn't have a name, so name suggestions are welcome...
Next up is more military stuff. I got sick of the old 21-st Century Toys Pavehawk Pilots. Hardly any articulation and their body proportions looked...odd. So I naturally kit bashed some Marauders Pilots! Here are the results.
Here is the original pilot, just for comparison...
