We are way overdue for another spotlight showing off the fantastic customizing skills of our forum members, so let’s get to it!
First up, Mousedroid-Hoojib continues to show the capabilities of soft goods customizing with a new version of Padme, which can be seen here.
Forum member wraith_nineyak also joins in the mix, with a new animated custom of Sergeant Krayt from the Clone Wars.
Peakob1 also creates a new Clone Wars custom – but one with a twist by making a realistic custom figure of Rush Clovis.
Last but not least, you have to check out Evilivo’s custom pre-cyborg General Grievous, which is a huge improvement over the Hasbro version… it even has real hair!
Star Wars Celebration VII will be in Anaheim in 2015, and some of our forum customizers have their eyes set on displaying a massive diorama there for all to see. We worked to do this before in 2007 for Celebration IV so there is precedent, but these projects take a lot of coordination and effort. The payoff is great though to see it all come together.
Do you have what it takes to join in? We’re still in the very early stages of this project, and encourage all customizers to check it out and see if you’d like to take part in this after the jump! We also encourage for all diorama builders out there to offer their suggestions to help make this project a success.
Our friends at Endorexpress.net have posted a nice way to display the new 6″ scale R2-D2 figure… with the old Epic Force C-3PO! Now why didn’t I think of that? Check out more pics of the two droids together on their Facebook page here.
Our friends at Jedi Temple Archives have received word that the upcoming Kmart exclusive Ewok Catapult and Scanning Crew sets are due to hit stores next month. Head on over to JTA for the pricing details.
During these dark times of collecting, it’s always a treat to see images of good upcoming figures that will be worth tracking down at retail.
Our friends at Jeditemplearchives have been able to get their hands on several great pics of the next round of figures from The Black Series – check out their pics here, and be be sure to share thoughts on these figures in our forums.
