"STAR WARS REBELS" RUKH painted by Darth Daddy

Rukh was a male Noghri from Honoghr who served as the bodyguard and assassin of Imperial Grand Admiral Thrawn. Thrawn used Rukh's name as the override command for his sparring droids. Rukh was an excellent tracker and fighter with a strong senses of smell. In 1 BBY, Thrawn employed Rukh's services in hunting down members of the Spectres Rebel cell and the Lothal resistance group. Rukh played an important role in capturing the Spectres leader and Rebel Alliance General Hera Syndulla during the failed attack on Lothal. Rukh would later see further action against the Spectres in the lead up to the Liberation of Lothal. Rukh perished at the hands of Garazeb Orrelios, who electrocuted him while fighting inside the Imperial Complex.

This 5poa action figure was created from a 3D print file created by Uzay Customs. It has swivel shoulders, hips, and neck. As subscribers to his Patreon this was only one of countless files we can print from on a monthly basis using his service. Rukh was one of the more interesting villains from the animated series. When we saw that a file was available we knew we wanted to add the assassin to our Rebels collection.

Darth Daddy hasn't worked on a custom action figure since he worked on the Kanan Jarrus action figure we did last year. Dad has been fond of adding to my "Star Wars Rebels" collection as of late. Dad has over ten characters from the show ready for paint thanks to the Etsy storefront of Angry Raccoon Miniatures

At some point in the future we are looking to paint up Tristan Wren, Cham Syndulla, Numa, Ketsu Onyo, Ryder Azadi, Jun Sato, Iron Squadron, Super Commandos, Lando's droid, Kalani, Magistrate Maketh Tua, the 8th Brother, and hopfully a Season 3-4 Ezra Bridger to add to our own collection.

"THE BAD BATCH" DEPA BILLABA & CALEB DUME created by Elias of "Customs for the Kid"

After viewing Caleb Dume and Depa Billaba's appearance in the premiere of "Star Wars: The Bad Batch", Dad and I agreed that they would both look great as action figures. So when a client approached me with this project, I just couldn't resist.

The base figure I used to make Depa Billaba was a Clone Wars Shaak Ti action figure. My client provided me with a 3-D printed headsculpt made by Watto's Scrapyard.  The braids at the back of the headcast were badly damaged when we received it in the mail so I completely resculpted what was missing. Once I had the head taken care of, I completely resculpted the Shaak Ti body with ProCreate to make the appropriate Jedi robes. 

To make Caleb, I sculpted the Jedi garb onto a Clone Wars Boba Fett body as my base figure and the headsculpt on this figure was also one of Watto's.  I made the headcast a new Padawan braid out of Procreate sculpting putty so it would have more durability than the original 3D printed resin.

It'll be a bummer to see them leave the home considering we've wanted them for our own collection, but at the end of the day, I'm more than happy to bring joy to my clients as well!

"STAR WARS: GALACTIC STARCRUISER" OUAANII created by Elias of "Customs for the Kid"

This commission request was a lot of fun because we had the opportunity to create a character from Walt Disney World Resort's Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser, a revolutionary new 2-night experience at the theme park where you embark on your own Star Wars adventure. It’s an immersive Star Wars story where you live out your own experience and journey further into the Star Wars galaxy farther than you ever dreamed you could.

Board a launch pod and rendezvous with the magnificent Halcyon starcruiser. Stay in a cabin or suite with an exquisite view of space. Aboard the ship, you can interact with an eclectic collection of characters, sit down to exotic galactic cuisine and perhaps even plot a secret mission together.

One of the characters you can interact with I have just brought to life in action figure form. The part that excites me most is that the figure is a gift to Allison, the actress who works as Ouaani aboard the starcruiser! 

She was made from a heavily modified and sculpted out TVC Aayla Secura Action figure along with the head of a reworked Pax Bonkik. After sculpting in the new clothing, hair, and jewelry she was ready for paint.

CUSTOMIZER SPOTLIGHT #58: "REVENGE OF THE SITH" OBI-WAN KENOBI HEAD by Spartan 118 Customs

This figure was made with a painted head that we purchased from the online store of Spartan 118 Customs. He has a lot of fantastic painted heads to choose from. When we saw his Episode III Obi-Wan Kenobi head, we knew it was time to swap the head out on our Revenge Of The Sith action figure. We had to modify the original figure by reducing the ball joint and then we also needed to increase the size of the hole in the head itself before attaching it, but we love the results. This figure looks absolutely fantastic now.

ROGUE ONE "CASSIAN ANDOR - IMPERIAL DISGUISE" created by Darth Daddy

Producing this action figure only required a quick head swap, and a small modification to the rank insignia.  If you are looking for a fast custom of a highly desired figure, than this one is for you.  The body is from a Legacy Collection - Captain Lorth Needa, the hat was from the Comic Pack - Luke Skywalker, and the head was from The Black Series - Cassian Andor action figure.  Once you reduce the rank insignia badge with an X-acto knife and paint the last square blue, all you have to do is swap the head out. My Needa was missing his hat so I used the one from the Luke.  Not sure if Needa's hat fits well on the Cassian Andor head so you may have to experiment at home with that one.  If you are having trouble making it fit, we can say for sure that the Luke's does.
