Hello, Starchaser.
I got the head from StarWarsGeek's eCrater store, link below. It says they are currently "on hold", I am hoping more are cast soon!

Also, I am always looking for new body types, biped humanoids have gotten boring. If anyone has any suggestions for new figures to use as base body, I would appreciate it! Looking for bird/insect/dinosaur/reptile/anything new bodies now.

I am taking some classes on 3D printing next month and want to start printing my own body parts. Shrinking larger scale toys down to 1:18 scale, flipping orientation from right to left on arms/legs/feet/hands, etc. Does anyone have any experience with this? Any suggested programs/platforms/websites for .stl files?

Thanks for the response. I've picked up one of those heads from starwarsgeek too, just hadn't got around to putting it on a body. I was actually asking about the head that looks like it should go on a Micronauts "Bug" figure that is in the picture underneath the "red factions" Jedi. I've been a Micronauts fan for a long time and a "Bug" custom would be too fun.

On another note, Schleich animals/dinos provide a possible source for non-bipedal bodies. I'm working with some ideas now. Target also has their cheaper "Terra" line of animals/dragons, etc. Just a place to start.

Just found the "bug" head over at angel.forge. Another the thought, the new jurassic world line might have some potential for dino bodies.

Sorry, I was just slogging through Angelforge trying to see if that was where I got it (like 9 months ago)... They have tons more heads I would love to try out, but  $6 a head keeps me pretty picky on trying out new.

Yeah, that's what keeps me from ordering as well.  At 6 dollars, that's almost the price of a whole figure (depending on price of figure).

Awesome kitbashes!....the sheer mulitude is astounding. The Bruce Willis Starkiller is a fave...and all of your aliens. Where did you find the Bug head from Micronauts?
Keep up the incredible work

bdc41866, the Bug head that would work for Micronauts Bug comes from an online vendor. His site is called Angelforge, at shop.theangelforge.com under the whatever-beastly heads #0147.

Wow
I cant believe I haven't praised this work yet
That misc alien Jedi is just too Pan's Labyrinth.   My fav.  Nice selection of customs and an awesome collection.

Thanks for the encouragement, everyone. Yes, I am mostly a basher, working on my sculpting, not sure if my painting will ever work out.

Here are some more Alien Race Jedi/Padwan figs.

New Padawan and Youngling custom bashing.

Rodian, Arcona, Patrolian, Clawdite, Ithorian, Wookie, and a made up alien race. Can you tell which figures I popped to get the heads/bodies?

Had to dig back in after getting so disappointed in Hasbro 3.75" 5POA figures. Blah! It is like Mattel bought them...

96 days and counting.

Thanks,
Gurt

More younglings! These are great head swaps. I particularly like your use of Tomar Re for the young Patrolian - that really works.
