Coruscant Customs


Customs for the Kid does what we can to promote the Star Wars customizing community every free moment we get. That's why we are really excited to welcome some new customizers to our community. While still very young, Fangirls Fern and Lida Stuart recently started producing their first Star Wars custom action figures and have been documenting their work on their new blog, Coruscant Customs.  We definitely recommend checking out their artwork and showing your support.  With so few Fangirls out there participating in the customizing community, their presence is surely welcomed.



Elias was really honored when Fern Stuart told us that our blog was their inspiration to get involved in making Star Wars custom action figures.  The link to their blog appears below.

CUSTOMIZER SPOTLIGHT: PLNK DROID created by I-AM-BOBA FETT

A long time ago, Star Wars customizer, I-AM-BOBA-FETT, created a cool PLNK Droid that really caught our eyes.  So much so, that we wanted one for our collection.  Originally he made the action figure utilizing two old Vintage Power Droids as his base figure.  When we asked him to make a PLNK Droid for us, we asked if he could use the new Vintage Power Droid from the 3-pack so that our PLNK Droid could have a removable lid.  I-AM-BOBA-FETT did not disappoint. He was even able to provide our custom figure with all the magnetically attached accessories that were included in his original version.  We love the way our PLNK Droid came out!
