during the yuuzhan vong invasion; he's a traitor and has them implant him with vong stuff as a sign of trust/ jedi will no longer sense him in the force.
most of these figures appear in photo-novels. they can be found in that section on this board..enjoy.

Now that was a huge bit of posting, Depressis! I am somewhat overwhelmed by the amount of great creativity you have unleashed upon us. Top notch work, man. On the front page.

wow, that's alot of stuff all at once... not often do we get new folks on the boards here that have already done so many customs!

there is ALOT of good stuff in there. The custom weopons are great, not enough of that going on here.

I love the use of the joe parts, and I recognize some older vintage joe bodies in there.

I have a few misgivings about some of the figs.... Alot of them look very forced. And what I mean by that is that they look like the parts used to make them are from such different figures they just don't mesh well. Some of the figure's necks are too long, or their legs too small compared to their arms...

I'm not saying they are bad, but they have alot of potential and a simple triming of the figure would make it top notch in most cases.

don't take it the wrong way please, I'm just trying to give my honest opinion.

I'd love to know where you got the bones for the tusken raider (which is one of the best of your figs btw), I'd like to use something similar to that on my next mandalorian custom.... they would make great "trophies!"

Your welcome... I understand that! Alot of my stuff is thrown together with what I have on hand. This hobby is not one of those that when you have a figure in mind to make you can't necessarilly always run out to the store and get an arm or leg that is just perfect for the figure. I think every die hard customizer on here has boxes of fodder figures on hand for those situations where you just don't know what is going to work best...

heck.... i've built entire figures based solely on a single head sculpt, working from that piecing together fodder until I got something I liked, then started tweeking it from there.

oh yeah i hear ya on the fodder front; was kinda inspired by the pile of little arms mentioned by brando in Apocalypse Now.

i find myself either rushing a piece together in the fashion you've mentioned or i end up holding onto a half finished figure for six months to two years and just randomly happening upon the sought after fodder on ebay..it can go either way.

anyways here's some current wips:

Oswald "The Penguin" Cobblepott for use in my forthcoming Batman PN: "Shadow of the Bat".

he was inspired by Gary Oldman as Drexl Spivey;the drug dealing pimp in True Romance. this story was written as a sequel to "the dark knight". the catwoman figure is also being remade.

Thok for use in my forthcoming photonovel: Masters of Teras Kasi. much like my version of the tusken; Hoar, Thok will be heavily re-imagined.
