This is nice.
I recognize some Scarlett parts in this Leia.
Sweet!

Yeah, 25th Anniversary Scarlett, Hoth Leia head, Snowbunny Padme body, Han Solo holster (modded), Celebration Luke gun and Ep. II Beru Whitesun softgoods (which work magnificently).  I've restored waist articulation with magnets and modded the gloves to look less like gauntlets.  I think the knees are a goner though : (

Everyone and their dad has made one of these but I hadn't seen anyone use the 5POA torso.  Lots of people compromised on Han's shirt style which I wasn't prepared to do.  Took a lot of modding to get it to work but just about got there with a magnet on the ball torso joint and the arms just kinda randomly fit when I was testing the joint so I just left them in.  Not happy with the hands so I'll see what I've got in my parts bin.



UPDATE: Deleted scene Biggs hands.  Gave the arms a light brushing with some dark paint.

Very nice take on this figure.  You've got some great work on this thread--I especially like the Bespin Han!  I think the legs work far better on your figure than they do on carbonite Han.

I'm trying to figure out a better way to do it.  I'd rather use the Hoth Leia body but they in inexplicably made it all muddy so will need some paint remover.

Thanks, Stan.  That means a lot coming from a seasoned customiser such as yourself : )

Speaking of Han, though, a few more updates.  I really like the 5 POA headsculpt but it's TINY and looks silly, especially next to unmasked Kylo.  I swapped it with the Black Series head, and painted the hair grey.  Also added a splash of colour to the little bullet things on the jacket.

That's the Han we should've had in the Black Series 3 3/4" in the first place. Gives me some inspiration, now that old Black Series are clogging the pegs again.

Thanks.  I still might make the odd tweak... maybe smooth off the torso joint line.  It's a bit too harsh at the moment (although better in person without photograph shadow on it).  The right arm also falls out extremely easily but does hold it's position if you're not too rough with it.
