My entry is the basic Finn.

Recipe:
* Head: TFA Finn
* Vest: TFA Finn
* Torso: 30th anniversary Biggs Darklighter
* Legs: Vintage Jango Fett

I had to shave the neck post for Finn's head to fit, as well as the post for the torso and legs to connect.

The legs and torso are painted black, the shoes are a light tan. The vest/jacket are slightly darker than the original.

Overall, I'm pleased with the outcome.

I have an idea for a second articulated TFA figure that I might do just for the fun ot it.

Here's the second TFA figure from me: First Order TIE pilot.

Recipe:
* TFA TIE pilot
* SA TIE pilot body. I think he was from the Walmart Imperial pilot pack from several years ago, but I don't remember. I had the body sitting in my custom parts box.
* Lower arms from an animated Clone Wars trooper

Again, I had to shave the ball joint down to get the TFA TIE helmet to fit on the SA TIE body. The life support chest plate was removed from the TFA figure and glued onto the SA body.

Under closer scrutiny, I noticed the TFA TIE pilot has gauntlets, not sleeves, on the lower parts of his arms. The Clone trooper arms worked nicely there. Also, the TFA TIE seems to have molded hoses on his body. I used a black bracelet for the hose but attached it with one of the clear bands.

Here's my official entry into this contest. This is a custom multi-articulated CONSTABLE ZUVIO figure. I dremeled the armor off of the real Constable Zuvio figure and custom fit it to this multi-articulated body. I cut the forearms/hands and lower legs and feet from the real Zuvio figure and custom fit them to this articulated body. I added the head, staff, and backpack from the real Zuvio figure to my custom multi-articulated Constable Zuvio figure and repainted everything to blend together. And yes I know my Zuvio figure has a belt on. This is just my take on this character ;)

Recipe:
Head, armor, forearms/hands, lower legs/feet, staff, backpack: Constable Zuvio TFA figure
Upper torso,upper arms, elbows, skirt: TCW Obi Wan Kenobi figure
Hips, upper legs: M'iiyoom Onith figure

Since in the rules for this contest we are to show the base figure we began with. Here is an image of the official TFA figure Constable Zuvio figure that I began my custom entry with:

That's a great Zuvio. Too bad Hasbro can't give us one like that.

Awesome job on The Constable, Mr Fett. If and when we get the 3.75" SA version from Hasbro I sincerely doubt it will hold a candle to yours.

Gonna lock this down for just a day or so while I get the voting thread sorted and to make sure no new entries are added.

Thank you a ton for those who entered. I can't wait to start sending some ISY Presents your way.
