One of the earliest comics in Star Wars and still one of my favorites. Mostly minor alterations to the three TotJ figures Hasbro has made so far...

I liked the Ulic Qel-Droma and Exar Kun figures, but was a bit disappointed that their scars weren't more visible.

So I added a bit of red highlighting

I also added red highlighting to Exar Kun's facial scars

As well as to the intricate Sith scar on his forehead

For Mandalore the Indomitable, I just gave him a brown robe to fit his appearance in the comics

One of my favorite characters from the Tales of the Jedi. Unfortunately, Hasbro will never make a figure of her because of a copyright dispute regarding her last name. I'll probably add some more weathering to her later.

Looks great!  I didn't know about the copyright issue, either.  Interesting.

Thanks. Apparently "Sunrider" is the name of a company and Lucasfilm was asked not to use the name. That's why in KOTOR the game designers created Bastila Shan - the character was originally going to be Vima Sunrider.

Thanks! I think I remember seeing your Thon on ISY. I'd love to make a Thon one day. He was one of my favorite Jedi when I was younger. I loved the idea of a non-humanoid Jedi.

Cool customs man. They almost look like adventurers instead of Star Wars.

6'' Sandtrooper with Black Pauldron
« Reply #44 on: December 15, 2013, 01:41:36 PM »
I found a 6'' Sandtrooper for a great price on Amazon ($12.00), so I got another one and made a Sandtrooper Corporal. I basically just painted the pauldron black. I also painted the soles of the boots black to make it more screen accurate. I now just need one more so I can make a Sergeant (white pauldron).
