All your customs look great Art. Your customizing preferences sort of make me want to start doing the cantina background characters. They look good on the cards! Can't wait to see the rest of your custom cantina line. Did you sculpt the barfly head?

Also what kind of double sided tape do you use to mount the bubble? I took your advice and started using it on my bubbles.

Thank you for the comments  to answer both questions yes i sculpted the tzzvzzit head from  the Wioslea figure. I did alot  of sanding,  smoothing then when i got the eyes the way i wanted i drilled the lines on the eyes to give it the final effect.  then the antenna on the head is all super sculpey. Now the tape is scotch permanent double sided tape which you can find pretty much anywhere.... Art

Loving this update! So many great figures! I am a huge Cantina Aliens fan and you are doing a great job with these figures. Very nice looking Rycar Jerard, what head did you use for him? Loving Tivitz, very nice sculpt work! Bracconer looks great as well, though he will always be Fu Man Chu to me. I was in the room at C6 when this character got his name. Swilla is awesome! Very nice sculpt work on her hair. What an awesome update!

Thank you as always Spry!!!! Yes i agree braconner will always be fu man chu lol ! For rycar i used an obi  wan kenobi head from the power of the jedi line did some sculpy to the hair and to the cheeks to puff them out a bit . Swilla was a challenge i did that hair over 3 times till it was right . the only drawback is the figures head has no mobility which i am really ok with . All the best ...Art

Wow these three look great!  That "Fly" head is the best i've seen in years, and Fu-Manchu is great as well!

Funny you mention how "Little Flash Gordon" looks like Scotty... I've had him on my own customs "to do" list, been trying to hunt down a cheap Mego Scotty figure just for his head for ages!

Great work!

Thank you for the comments i was thinking the samething about a mego scotty head but i saw a picture of  the head, it  was too small for the figure i was using not to mention i wasnt to fond of the head after looking at the picture of it as well
