GRAND ADMIRAL THRAWN

One of my absolute favorite characters....regardless of whether you're calling it EU or "Legends" now... ;) In Germany they produced an absolutely brilliant audio drama of the Thrawn trilogy (14 CDs total, featuring all the original German voice actors from the OT movies) which still is a favorite of mine on long car trips... :)

The figure in the original Hasbro 3,75" figure, I removed the Ysalamiri because it's not on the cardback picture either. No worries, it's being kept safely and animal-friendly on a small tree in my bits box... ;)

Thanks a lot people...for the comments as well as for the fp, Tamer! :)

At the moment I'm concentrating on carding more figures...I don't have enough time for ambitious conversions/repaints due to family/house/work (in no particular order ;) ). I'll do a bit of customizing/repainting as long as it's necessary for the figure, but there's just so much (fun things) to do, so little time... ;)

I'd say that's a pretty safe bet. ;) I've already finished a few more designs, hope to have the next figure(s) done this week... :)

It's one of the (if not the) most iconic and important scenes in the original trilogy....and as any other Star Wars collector, I have a more than ample stack of Vader figures (Hasbro sure shelled out a lot of them over the years ;) )...so why not kill two birds with one stone?

Thanks Artie! :D Me too, would have been a cool thing for Kenner and/or Hasbro to use new pictures from the movies for the repacks of "older" figures on later movies cards (ESB / ROTJ). I think there are only five or six ROTJ cards where they did this (new pics, although not all of the pics are from ROTJ). ESB and/or ROTJ specific Stormtroopers, Imperial Navy Troopers, C-3POs etc. Hmmm......I think I just had an idea for some more cardbacks... ;)

...ah, the beauty of hindsight. ;) I could have thought of this day a bit earlier to shoot a pic of my custom 12backs...or some more Star Wars figures...but alas, I spent my time working on two more ESB figures. Well, happy Birthday to Star Wars, anyway...  ;D :)

So now, let's switch over to the icy wastes of Hoth, where Rebels and Imperials are battling it out in a fierce fight. ;) I thought it fitting to complete these two together somehow...

ESB - Rebel Soldier (Hoth Battle Gear)


Legacy Rebel Hoth Soldier, new head and modified helmet/scarf combo, artillery remote from the "Search for Luke Skywalker" figure set, partially repainted
Real happy I found the original source pic for Kenner's vintage Rebel Soldier, as well. That way I could "demirror" it (the Grenades are now on the right side, literally) for my cardback...

ESB - Snowtrooper Commander


Black Series figure, modified helmet (discs), partially repainted (especially gloss varnish for helmet and armor)
