At least among the Star Wars figures, the nubs should be a standard size.
Would even be cooler if GI Joe and Star Wars had the same size nubs.

Indeed!!  And Hasbro has *always* danced around - ok, IGNORED - that question.  But that's ok, we are customizers...we will overcome.

Great looking figures Benjani!

Doc and Kurgan, you may have missed my C^ wrap up but I discussed the neck nub sizes with the Hasbro team. They all looked at each other, nodded their heads and said we too want to get closer to standardized neck nubs in the future. They realize it will make things easier on customizers and themselves.

My Kitbash entry.

Battle damaged samurai warlord.

Star wars Ulic (something) base figure. The figure is untouched, the ragged look of the torso and the torn kama, fit perfectlly with the battle damage look. The torso also has an oriental feel to it. Weapons and helmet are from a 1:18 scale samurai figure wich is very crappy but has the awesome accesories.
Head is a Gi joe 2012 retaliation red ninja figure, the cape is from the mandalore comic pack.
I think the color combos of browns and reds worked well.
Hope you enjoy.

That's not a cheap figure to custom  ;)..........ulic qel droma,very hard to find comic pack figure. The samurai,I got one in a bundle once........nasty joints,I think it's by papo or ELC.

Everything comes together spot on,a damn fine piece you have there.

Nothing too fancy here, this figure is just another entry for the "No Paint Kit-Bash Rally".









Base figure is one of the Ep.II Jedi younglings (the little girl Shaak Ti one), the head is from the "Spy Kids" line, the collar is from my greebles bag and the hands are from some female Star Wars figure. No paint was applied.

Wow, look at these entries!
The Samurai looks killer and the Jedi youngling is pure innocence and sweetness.
Cool as can be!

I agree Volker, awesome new entries. It is gonna be fun setting up a voting thread for this. Time to update the front page with one of these two.

Shawn, this is one really cool contest.
With all those parts available we can create an almost unlimited range of fully playable figures.
No fear of messing up an awesome artistic paintjob involved.

I couldn't agree more Volker.

I am so envisioning a book, well mainly photos, but with recipes of how to create awesome kit bashes from existing action figures. I know it is rather niche, but I would sure buy it.
