I like the new Boba. It'd be cool to see an evolution of him from young lad to full grown badass.

Cool concept bro! I have a TOR (The Old Republic) era Mandalorian WiP that I'm plannin' on paintin' up this weekend... it is a lot "busier" than your teen-Fett custom... but I too went w/ a less gadgety version... plenty of soft packs & NO rocketpack... you did a VERY NICE JOB on this 1!

P.S. You had asked 'bout that rifle on my 91st Recon ARF sniper... I been holdin' on2 that nasty lil' beauty for a while now - it came from a UNIMAX Crysis2 fig & they are gettin' a bit hard to find in stores, but, ya may be able to order 'em online still... I am actually considerin' hittin' my caster friend TofuJesse up to possibly cast a few of 'em... :)
Thanks Bl4ck5h33p! Yea a young guy thinks he is bullet proof and would rely more on his speed, its only as we get older and wiser we know were not invinsible and would start making up for less athletic ability with our brains and gadgets. Its a damn shame that rifle you had on the sniper is rare, I fraking love it.

I feel ya on the older part (I'll turn 42 in Aug.) - but I don't know 'bout the "wiser" end of that spectrum... I used to box & my nephew (who is 16) wants me to train him in the ring - we went to the gym & I got all geared up, felt good, did some warm up & then got N2 the ring to spar w/ him... I went easy on him b/c I probably got 25-30 lbs. on him... I was soooo sore the next day! He is a good pupil & has REALLY fast hands... good thing I'm a counterpuncher :) ------- & if Jesse aint too busy & can cast some of those rifles, I'll send 1 to ya!
Once more into the fray, into the last good fight I'll ever know. Live & die on this day. How we die is equal to how we live. Once more into the breach, my friends, once more, or we close the walls up with our dead...

My next custom is a repaint of Gi joe Agent Helix, I just don't know why hasbro gave such a nice figure such a for lack of better word strange paint job. Anyway I colored her hair and gave her top a sexy red color, and girl got a fine makeover lol. Anyway I renamed her Aayla Xero and she is a deadly assassin.

My latest customs are a pair of droids made from scraps I dug out of my sons old happy meal toy box.
