    Whoo Hoo!!! My first customized figure!!!
    You guys know how the Boba Fett realeased by Kenner back in 96' had that dinky, unrealistic antaenna? Well, what I did is I cut the antenna off the 96' Fett and the one on the Jango helmet that came with the young Boba fig and I hot glued the Jango antenna onto 96' Boba! I did a good job, too, my friend thought that it was just Boba's normal antenna! Next I plan to retool his jetpack...

    Okay, I know its not much, but its a start! :)

    Tell all about your custom figs, guys!

    Very cool. Try putting Jango Fett: Kamino Escape jetpack on Boba. It has the same colors as his in ROTJ, and you could put Jango's arms on him, and repaint them. Also (I did this on my Boba custom), cut the wookie scalps and his cape into two different peices (so it gets rid of the neck thing). Just glue those 2 on seperatly, and it will look a lot better.

    I guess Ill do what you suggested, saber_holder, except I think I maight use thread for the Wook scalps and a piece of cloth for the cape, cause the plastic one is real lame.

    Cool Jango & Arc trooper custom's, man.

    I just made a custom fig too. Today I bought the speeder bike with Clonetrooper and I bought the ANH Imperial Trooper accessory pack a couple of weeks ago. In the accessory pack is a Stormtrooper helmet, so I took off the speeder bike Clonetrooper's helmet & put the Stormtrooper helmet on him, instant Stormtrooper!

    I started collecting just recently & at this time it's kinda hard buying Stormtroopers, gotta get the builder set soon, but right now I've got a Stormtrooper!

    Well done

    I started customising my Luke Dagobah.

    I've retooled the hair,chopped off the arms and made them less muscly and then heated them up to bend them into holding the sabre with both hands-I'm very pleased with how this stage has gone.I also sanded down the torso slightly to give it a more accurate body.Then I re-carved the lines into it.
    I've chopped off the legs ,they don't need much doing to them apart from shaving a bit off the joint so they are less wide apart so he has a more natural stance.

    Now I've just fot to glue him back together and use some filler to get rid of the join lines and then I've got to give it a more accurate paint job with some added weathering too

    He won't be articulated but it'll be a much better figure, well infact it'll be a whole different figure.

    It's going to look great next to the Tree I made with Yoda sat on the root.
