That is a fantastic custom! It looks so great. Is that one of the Ralph McQuarrie concept heads? It kind of looks like actor Chris Pratt, aka Starlord in the upcoming Guardians of the Galaxy movie.


The sad part is, this is the actual headsculpt we get on the Starlord figure, which looks NOTHING LIKE Chris Pratt.:
I have altered the action figure. Pray I don't alter it further.

Excellent work.
I'm a big fan of your kitbash figures.

Thank you!  And Sméagol, that is indeed the concept Han head on that figure.  Didn't notice the Chris Pratt resemblance, but I can definitely see it now that you point it out.

Just a little update with a few figures that I finished up this weekend.  First of all, one more of Jabba's henchmen for the current Yakfinities contest:


A repainted GNK droid:



And last of all, a pretty simple arm swap/repaint of Merumeru...


Sorry for the rough photos.

Thanks!  And Wraithnine - thanks for the tip.  Really trying to get to the sculpting phase now that Hasbro's character output has practically stalled. Also, thanks for the Warhammer 40k decal tip long ago - this GNK droid would be much more plain without your input.  ;)

Love the repainted droid.

Haven't posted in a bit, but I have been able to finish quite a few "easy" customs (parts swaps or basic repaints) over the last few weeks.  I hope you enjoy them!
