Customizer Mega Spotlight
Tonight we highlight some more of the great custom works of several of our forum members!
First up, Evilivo continues to inspire with a great repaint of the recent Mission Series Yoda. What he’s done here really brings this figure to life.
Next, my kind of scum shows off another batch of his custom figures, including one using several non-Star Wars parts to create a spectacular alien. I don’t know what the heck this thing is, but it’s awesome!
We’ve also got some really cool new droids that you’ll want to see by Jawaking, who has been on one heck of a role lately with his customs.
Last but not least, forum newcomer AjuntaPall has posted a ton of custom figures for your viewing pleasure – check out his latest updates here.
