For the last few years, I have been participating in a Secret Santa over at another fan site. It has been a great way for us to get in the Holiday Spirit every year here at home.
Therefore, I spoke with ISY and I have received permission to start a new 2012 Secret Santa Custom Figure Swap here- basically what you do is reply to this thread with your username and say if you're "IN" for this and include your primary email address. Also, state if you are inside the USA or not.
(http://www.searchamateur.com/pictures/star-wars-santa-yoda-figurine-2.jpg)
There is one catch...you must have been a registered forum member prior to September 1, 2012 to be eligible. We do not want to risk anyone signing up for this just to get a free custom from another forum member and not fulfill their end of the deal. This is the season for giving, not taking ;)
If interested, please message me here at the Yards with the following information:
Subject - Secret Santa
ISY Forums Username
Your Real Name
Your Mailing Address
Then in early November, 2012, you will be contacted via email with the information of another ISY forum member who is also participating. You will make a custom figure for that person and mail it to them in time for Christmas.
Thank you, and for those involved I will let everyone know who their "Secret Santa" is in early November, but I would start your figure right away so your recipient will receive it before X-mas. And note, the deadline to sign up will be 11:59 AM EST, October 31st.

Hey guys, PM me your mailing addresses!

I have a question.
Do we do a random custom we think that person would like? or can we ask them for their preference?
Well I am guessing we can't ask or it is not so secret huh?

I'm not going to police how you guys do it. I'm just going to help faciliate the event and make sure you're all paired up.
If you are friendly with your recipient and already talk often, it's out of my hands.
-
I hear you, just wondering. It would be cool either way. The surprise would be awesome but requesting something you actualy want could be awesome as well.

Agreed. I'll let the givers and receivers decide.
Also, I was thinking of putting everyone's names in a hat to decide who is paired with who. I feel like that would be a fair way to do it. Let me know I anyone has any other ideas.

I feel like a bucket would be more appropriate... preferably a clone or mando bucket ;).

Sounds like fun! I'm in! PM w/ details sent.

I am in too. Lucasclones@gmail.com

Just need your mailing address. Send asap.

I think i will be a part of this sites SS this year seing as Joes are kinda out for me at the moment
-
For me, the fun is in making something nice for a fellow Yarder, in the holiday spirit. Receiving a custom made figure in exchange is double the fun. Since I live outside of the States, I will already begin on my figure for the ISY SS and also for the Yakface SS.

Message me your mailing address.

I have never been involved in a SS before, but i think i am about to find out how it works. LOL. I am in. PM sent to you DD.
-
Oh yeah I'm in!
I am up for a random draw of names too!
Ray
-
I'm all in favor of a random draw, as well. I'd say use an ARC Trooper buy'ce, but that's just me.
Ah, someting that occurred to me after I signed on ... would it be sporting of me to send my Secret Santa an array of my cast items rather than a custom figure?
-

I'm hesitant to say it's ok, because I'm not really sure how the other participants would feel. I would say if one person participating was not in favor then we should keep it to strictly customs only. I want to minimize complaints as much as possible and keep this as fun as can be. I'd like to hear as maNy opinions on this suggestion as possible and make sure everyone who participates in this event walks away happy that they were involved.

Ok I havent done much on here these past months
,but this sounds fun im in!!!!!
-
Can it be any custom?
-
Can it be any custom?
Yep, any custom you want to give.
-
I'm in
-
Any more takers? I'm hoping to get in on this, but I'm saving myself as a back-up in case we get an odd number of participants to even things out. So far we have an even number of participants as long as I get the address for Darksider80. I may have located it on the internet, but I'm waiting for him to verify. If I don't hear back, I'll be the one to fill his spot. If I do hear back, then I need one more participant so I can be in this too. Any takers?
-
Well that's a wrap. I will be sending out emails with the address of the recipient of your Seret Santa custom action figure gift later today. Just so everyone knows, the person who you are sending your custom figure to, isn't neceesarily the person who will be sending you your Secret Santa. When I put the names in Elias' Rex bucket, I worked it in such a way that everything was kept as random as possible to keep the surprise as fresh as possible.
KEEP YOUR EYES OPEN FOR YOUR MESSAGE HERE ON THE YARDS!
-
ALL EMAILS HAVE NOW BEEN SENT OUT. IF YOU HAVE NOT RECEIVED AN EMAIL WITH YOUR SECRET SANTA'S MAILING ADDRESS, EMAIL ME ASAP SO I CAN GET THAT INFORMATION TO YOU. ALSO PLEASE CONTACT ME IF THERE ARE ANY ISSUES WITH THE EMAIL OR IF YOU BELIEVE THAT THERE IS SOME TYPE OF ERROR.
AND THIS GOES WITHOUT SAYING, BUT PLEASE HAVE YOUR CUSTOM ACTION FIGURE TO YOUR RECIPIENT BEFORE THE HOLIDAY!
To DARKSIDER80...I tried every possible way I could to get in touch with you: Facebook, the EMAIL address on your blog, and here on the Yards, in this thread, your thread, and by private message. Unfortunately, I was unable to get in touch with you on time. Please private messsage me if you read this.
-
Thanks Brian for organizing all of this!
-
No problem :)
-
Everyone be sure to post your gifts in this thread when you receive them :D
-
Got my message and I am super stoked for this event! Thanks for all of your work on this Brian!
-
Hey DD,
Got my message also and thanks for organising this thanks Brian you did an awesome job.
Ron
-
Got mine and it should be on its wAy soon!!!
-
So excited about this I just couldn't wait and already finished my figure! First, lol!
-
My SS will be sent soon. Hope they like it.
-
Just finished mine today and it'll be posted out on Monday!!
-
Got the email w/ addy. Oct work-sched kicked my rump, so I've not started on the physical figure, only a lot of planning.
-
Everyone be sure to post your gifts in this thread when you receive them :D
Also, be sure to take pictures before you send off your gift.
Got my recipient's address and am about ready to paint my custom.
-
Shipped mine last night..
-
Package away! Forgotted to include the bio story! D'ohh!
-
Package away! Forgotted to include the bio story! D'ohh!
You can just email it :)
-
working on mine hope to have it mailed out by the end of this week or begining of next. You guys are supa fast! Jeezer!
-
Moved this to resources and references once again to free up on some of the custom figure board threads there.
-
WE NEEDED TO INCLUDE A BACKSTORY?!? Dohhhh!!!!
-
Kreeper - no, no. It's not mandatory, just something I do. I have always created a backstory for my customs, figured I'd do it for this one too.
-
I finally got together the parts I believe I need for mine. Ran across a torso on the pegs that looked like a better idea than my original, so I changed plans. ;D
-
Well I finished my SS fig this past weekend and i will be photographing it soon so I can send it off. I want to post pics but wonder if i should wait for my recipient to receive it so its a surprise. Any thoughts on this guys??
-
Got my Secret Santa victim...his present is ready to be shipped in a few days, will have to take a pic or two before I box it up.
-

I think it's more fun to wait for the recipient to post pictures. After that we can post our own pics in our own customs threads :)
-
Yep Chad I say wait too!! :)
-
I did'nt take any photo's of my SS custom. Whoops!!
Sent it to the recipient over a week ago with a small note, but i did'nt say who it was from.
I thought it would have been posted here by the recipient by now?
Should i contact him and ask, or just let it ride.
-
I feel the recipient should let know he/she's received the package. Especially with the Secret Santa exchange, it's just something special. I don't know if it was an international package, but if so, maybe you should wait a bit longer :)
-
I'll certainly post up here when mine arrives! I can't wait!!!
-
Mailed mine off almost two weeks ago still no word on weather it was received:(
-
Hi All,
I recieved ny Secret Santa parcel about 4 days ago, I only opened it today as I have been busy with work and cyclone prep. To my SS awesome work on the custom figure and also thanks heaps for the 2 packaged figures.
I sent mine out so mine should arrive soon, I will get pics up by the weekend off my SS goodies.
Ron

...........O...M...G.......!!!!!!

To my SS, (Ron) thank you very much.

Wow, that is sweet. Keep those pictures coming folks. I would like, not saying I will be able to, but would like to do one post a day on what cool new SW Custom Gift folks have gotten.
-
hohoho forgot to add this pic the other day.

Oh man, this is awesome stuff! Looks like Ron sent 2 mini dioramas? That is an awesome figure as well!
Ray, the recarded Boba looks quite minty mate! Incom/Mr. Black is one lucky guy!
My SS figure is almost complete. Just have to make some time for the final detail and hope to ship it out within 10 days.
-
Been working on mine courtesy of a 4-day weekend and am just about finished. Trying to minimize painting adds to the challenge & the time factor, moreso than I expected.

Here is the awesome Secret Santa custom action figure I recieved from Darth Optimus:
Facts:
A kitbashed fig (obviously).
Topknot: AOTC Aurra Sing
Head: Comic Pack Prince Xizor
Torso, Arms and Kama/Sarrong: TCW Embo
Hands: TCW Magna Guard
Legs: TFU Kota's Elite
Large Gun: TVC Bossk
Pistol and Holster: TVC Jango Fett
Melee Blade: Parts bin
Fiction:
The Falleen known as Xeven was a young, promising, up-and-coming mercenary serving a long-term contract with Black Sun during the Clone Wars. After the execution of Order 66, the newly-formed Empire placed bounties on the heads of all surviving Jedi. The Black Sun organization picked up several deathmark contracts and assigned several in-house hunters to the task of finding the Jedi. Xeven was among those chosen.
A capable tracker, xeven found and dispatched several Padawans and minor Knights over the next three years. His confidence grew with each victory and he believed that no Jedi could defeat him. He was wrong.
An encounter with an unidentified Jedi (but surely of Master level) left Xeven without both his hands. Turning to a Black Sun affiliated cyberneticist, Xeven chose to utilize hands from a Magna Guard series droid as replacements. Xeven meshed quickly with the robotics, and was on the hunt within a week. He is constantly on the look out for the Jedi who maimed him.
Xeven's weapons of choice are fairly basic. He prefers the Relby-v10 micro grenade launcher favored by Trandoshans as his main weapon. He carries an onyx-handled Westar-34 blaster pistol on his hip as back up. The weapon is the same style carried by his idol, Jango Fett. Lastly, Xeven carries an adamantium battle blade that has been in his clan for generations.

When I organized this years Secret Santa over at Imperial Shipyards, Darksider80 stated that he wanted to participate early in the sign-up process, but fogot to send his mailing address before the deadline arrived. I matched everyone up, and then after all the emails were sent, I heard a response from him. I felt bad leaving him out of the event, especially since he was relatively new to the custom action figure forum community. The last thing I wanted was a talented customizer to feel left out by a new community he was choosing to participate in. As a solution I decided to create one extra figure and do a figure swap with Darksider80 on top of the one I was formally doing for the event. I read in his blog that his favorite custom action figures were snowspeeder pilots and I got busy working on one. It was actually the last action figure that I started, but as usual, it was also the first one I finished. I also finished one of the Yakface Secret Santa customs, but since it is part of a set, I won't be posting it until both figures are completed. My official Secret Santa custom action figure should be finished by the end of the week. At least I'm hoping it will be. I've been working hard at completing it, and only have a little further to go. Hopefully, I'll have another figure posted soon. Unitl then, enjoy the Rodian Snowspeeder Pilot that I just wrapped up.

Nice job on the Rodian snowspeeder pilot! My son really digs him!

Nice, time for a front page update.

So, Lucasclones got my name for the Secret Santa swap and this is the totally awesome fig I got:
FeMando
Badass Chick mode:

Seriously, this fig is amazing. And you wanna know the best part? He didn't name her or give her a back story. THOSE ARE MY FAVORITE THINGS ABOUT MAKING CUSTOMS! Right away, I decided her name was Rave De'gan and she was the youngest member of the Cuy'val Dar...specializing in urban tracking and "unlawful entry".
-
Awesome gift. Wow. Time for another fp update.
-
SICK! I love it!
-
I got my package in wednesday from Tank and wow did he hook me up! Check out the video:
feature=g-crec-u
-
So many great creations are being given and received! This is such an awesome event, thanks Brian for getting this started!
So I got word Elias opened my gift to him and was pleased. That means I can finaly post these pics I have been holding on. Here is the Mando featuring a new bucket mash up, custom riffle so he can shoulder it, soft goods strap, removable armor, greeblied out kama and fully weathered as if he lives for a good sand storm. Then I wanted to make a small dio/stand combo in my typical trash to treasure style. So I looked in a bin that held leftovers from my recent Rebel Base dio and threw a little something together.

This gift from L.E. Was just amazing! The figure looks even cooler in hand. A true masterpiece. The stand is equally fantastic. Thanks so much L.E.!!!!
-
WOW WOW WOW LE. I do plan I posted some pics of my score From Tank tonight to go with the video.
-
Elias' Secret Santa was mailed out today.
-
Wow all these are awesome cant wait to see who or what comes my way!! Still waiting ;)))))
-
Tracked the package I mailed out. Elias' Secret Santa should be receiving their gift today :)
-
Well today brought my Secret Santa gift - and what can I say other than wow!!!

She is a beautifully sculpted and painted Female Endor Scout! I was totally blown away by this figure and she now has pride of place on my custom shelf!

The quality of the fine web gear work is mind blowing, just look at the slings on the macros and rifle!

The earpiece looks fantastic - and the whole figure comes together so well!

Bit my favourite feature? The quality of paintwork on the figures face - the eyes, the hair, the skin tone - all are absolutely off the hook! I only wish I could paint so well!
So Secret Santa from NL (Remco!!)
;-)
Thank you very, very much - I hope you all have a wonderful Christmas with your loved ones!
WB Out!!
Ps Brian, thanks again for organising such a fun endeavour!

Very happy that you like her, Ray. She was fun to make, as was the one I made for the Yakface Secret Santa round.
How'd you like the packaging, then? Found those tree-shaped boxes (set of three) at Ikea. Perfect for shipping figures :D

Got a call from SithHappens this morning letting me know he liked the figure I made for him pictured below.
"Dr. Saile Whitenail"

So here is the custom action figure that I created for Luke Sprywalker. If I had one more week, it would have been perfect, but overall, I'm pretty happy with the way he came out. He should have received it today.
