Topic: Custom Action Figure News Q and A

[Tamer]

From a previous thread, L.E. stated that perhaps a thread might be created for the next customizer to be interviewed could answer. Well our next interview is with Wraithnine so think about a question you would like him to answer!

Also is there a particular customizing technique you would like to share that we could then share with our listeners? Your technique could be the next one featured on Custom Action Figure News Podcast.

Additionally Doc had a great idea that if someone wants to make us some theme music to open and close the show we would love to see what you come up with!

hey jay this is harry A.K.A biege-4 , i was wondering if you are going to make a new jedi/padawan duo, as i think your last jedi MASTER DI was great

[spudafett]

perhaps we need an entire new section under "imperial creativity" that is a "help" section.  A place where new members or new customizers (or hell anyone) can go, start a new thread asking any kind of question about a technique, or a certain part, or how to use something, or for ideas and suggestions...  then members that have been here a while can either strait out answer the question or point them to an existing thread or section where they might find the answer?

We have that, Resources and references.

Does anyone have a burning question they would like to see Wraithnine (Rasputin 37) answer? I sent him a list of our questions last night, but I bet I could still talk him into a couple more?

[DocOutlands]

Heh - I have one that just occurred to me this morning.

As a customizing community/family, we are constantly exposed to each other's works and usually find ourselves incorporating ideas from our fellows.  Whose works do you, Jay, find to be the most routinely inspirational and - if possible - why?

[Tamer]

Oh thats a good one Doc.

[Luke Sprywalker]

Jay has done so many clones from the series and fan fiction ones well over 100 of them. What do you draw inspiration from on the clones of your own creation? Can you elaborate on the "Clone in training gear" along with your response. I have always loved that idea.

[spudafett]

We have that, Resources and references.

doh... of course.  what was I thinking?!

[zedhatch]

What are the primary motivations for customizing?


A few can think of-

Improvements to Hasbro designs
Desire for new characters
New looks for old characters.

But I think there would be more if you investigated further.

Another great episode!!  Loved the Wraithnine interview.  I haven't done a clone trooper custom yet other than my Cad Bane in Clone Trooper Disguise so it was nice to hear what action figure Wraithnine recommends using for when he customizes his clones.  The info. on astromechs was great too.  Thanks Jay!

[Tamer]

Thanks DD. I had a lot of fun and actually didn't get to stay for the whole thing. I can't wait to listen to it all myself!

Darth Daddy I believe you are next, get ready for some similiar type questions.

[Tamer]

Ok folks we are getting ready to go live.

If you have a question you would like asked during the live interview hit the chat feature on the Ustream Broadcast console on the front page and you could hear your question asked during the interview. I am not making any promises as we have a ton of things to get through, but it could happen!
