TWO QUICK CUSTOM ACTION FIGURES MADE FROM SPARE PARTS

Here are two very easy action figures made from some spare parts that we had laying around the house. These two figures are ideal first custom action figures for a beginner customizer. The first is a simple head swap with a Padawan braid and pony tail glued onto the head and then finished off with only a quick paint application for the hair. It was made with a Zett Jukassa body and the carded Clone Wars Boba Fett head. I think the braid and ponytail came from an AOTC Anakin Skywalker head we had floating around, but we're not sure which one it was. With all the custom Jedi action figures we have made so far, we figured it would be cool to have an extra Padawan or two to keep them company.

The articulation is pretty terrible, but he is a great background piece.





The second custom action figure required hardly any paint at all. We just used an Clone Wars Embo body and a Greedo head and hands to make this Rodian Crime Boss. We cut and glued the Greedo head peg to the Embo body and Dad made a gauntlet out of a holster we had in our fodder with some plastic detailing glued to it for his left arm. Then Dad painted the gauntlets silver to match one another. A simple 3 minute paint job and you get a brand new figure. We pretend the Rodian Crime Boss is even more powerful than Jabba the Hutt and use him whenever we want to have turf wars between rival organized crime rings on Tatooine. Both action figures should take less than a half hour to make and can really diversify your collection.

Dad Makes Me into a Jedi Padawan

As of late, Boba Fett and I have been rockin' the same hairstyle. So when Hasbro released the new "Rise of Boba Fett Ultimate Battle Pack" in stores, Dad took the opportunity to use the new Boba Fett that came with the battle pack to make me into not only an action figure, but a Jedi padawan action figure. To do this he used two figures. he used an Episode III Zett Jukasa that he bought a few weeks ago strictly with this custom in mind, and an early release of the Clone Wars Boba Fett that Dad got on ebay from Tunghori's Star Wars Army Store at http://myworld.ebay.com/tunghori/. We played with the Boba Fett figure for a few weeks, until yesterday when we found and bought the new "Rise of Boba Fett Ultimate Battle Pack" in a Toys R' Us located not far from where we live.

After Dad cut off the ponytail and braid from Zett Jukasa, he krazy glued the pieces to the Boba Fett figure, and carved down all the joints on the Boba Fett action figure so he wouldn't have any paint wear. After that Dad gave it one of his customized paint jobs.
