Brilliant kit-bashes here! This question came to my mind recently when I got a few WWE figs used. It seems they're slightly taller than 1/12 scale. I did some calculation and they're rather 1/10 scale - especially the heads are bigger than TBS. Your EU General looks about perfectly accurate, though!
Your pics look fantastic, too! The right background can make a difference like night and day.
Thanks Kurt!

Thanks, Kurt! Glad you like them. Yeh, I got a load of cheap loose WWE figures a while back hoping to have some good Imp and Rebel heads, but was disappointed that most of them were too big to use (but they are quite funny to try anyway). Sometimes though, the black series heads look too small depending on which black series body you put it on, it can get very frustrating.

Very nice. I like them. Nice use of that WWE head. Never thought they would make good custom fodder.

Nice job on these customs. I think Tauriel head works well and tapping in to the WWE stuff is a great choice.

I've not posted in a while. Thanks all for your comments on the previous 6" Imperial Officers. Here's another one from the Expanded Universe.

Admiral Amise Griff (Classic Marvel)



Uses 6" TBS 27 Director Krennic all repainted with extra code cylinder (cut from a previous officer custom) added to left side to represent TESB era Admiral insignia. Cape also repainted from Krennic with fur added from 3.75" Forcelink Range Trooper. Head is a repainted 6" TBS Poe Dameron from 2-pack with FO Riot Control Stormtrooper. Cap from 6" TBS Admiral Piett.



Some more Expanded Universe customs to follow soon.

That's a beautiful paint job. Great figure, and good use of the range trooper fur collar.

Now this is nice. I too like that fur collar. So Imperial to me.

Thanks all for your comments, glad you like that Griff. That's one from my favourite period of Star Wars comics with Al Williamson and Archie Goodwin.

Here's one from present day Marvel Star Wars.

Princess Leia (Marvel Comics) 6" custom



Uses slightly repainted TBS 6" 81 Padmé Amidala. Repainted head from 6" TBS 22 Jyn Erso, modified hair with 2 pieces from 3.75" TBS Padmé and 1 piece from 3.75" TSC Padmé - I'm not sure the face looks particularly like Leia, but I think it fits with the comic style of her. Belt also from Jyn Erso with added parts from 3.75" TBS Luke Jedi belt. Repainted forearms from 3.75" TAC Death Star Trooper with repainted hands from DC Comics Icons 13 Harley Quinn. Repainted jacket from 6" TBS 58 Rey Island Journey.

Nice parts combination! I like the figure design. Your rationale behind the head choice works for me.

Wow, I like her a lot. I am thinking perhaps I could live with a new actress portraying Leia after seeing this. It works.

Thanks so much for your comments on the Marvel Leia custom.
Here's another Leia from the Expanded Universe.

Princess Leia (X-Wing Pilot) 6" custom (based on Dark Horse Comics - 'In The Shadow Of Yavin')



Uses slightly repainted 6" TBS 56 Jaina Solo figure, helmet, belt, vest & harness. As Jaina is quite a tall figure, to make the figure a bit shorter I took a bit off the tops of the thighs and redid the sockets. Head from 6" TBS 75 Leia Hoth with added hair pieces - ponytail from DC Comics Designer Series 3 Raven.
