    Any reason for it's creation? Or is it just something you did because you felt like it?

    Well, today I had teh idea of making the Nikto Jedi figure a bit better, cos let's face it, that figure sucks. So I took it's cloak off and had the intention of painting his arms and tunic a brown color.

    However, as I was about to get out the brown paint, I looked at the figure.

    Custom complete. Just take the cloak off! yes, his arm's are the wrong color, but it makes his tunic look like a waistcoat kinda thing. And if you turn his head to the side, he isn't looking down as much.

    Not bad eh?

    I have already done that with one of my Nikto Jedi figures as well Guff. I took off the cloak pretty early since I had two of them. I love the figures head. The sleeves still match his undershirt pretty well.

    Fantastic Jango, just fantastic!

    It annoys me that Hasbro haven't got the skirt-thing right with the Red ARC, I think it needs to be darker and have the red trimline, it seems you captured that perfectly :)

    EDIT: What guns did you use for the lead ARC? It's hard to see.

    A friend of my is making a custom actionfig for me of a character that appears in my fanfic: Its a human male and i only have the following as a describtion since the character looks like me without my glasses so he has brown hair and brown eyes.

    We tried several heads on a Mace Windu Deluxe body (with the arms of a Qui-Gon fig) and so far the Anakin head seems to small and for a Obi-wan head (episode 1 version) there was a neck problem (it didnt fit completly right and there isnt much of a neck but a hole). We know of sculpy to fill it in but that isnt an option.

    So does anybody have a good idea for a good head to use or to fill in the hole in the neck? If needed i can email a pic of Obi-Wans head on the Mace Windu Deluxe body.

    Thanks for your time

    I appreciate that a spoiler warning was given in the posts above, but if possible could I ask that when posting things that may be considered spoilers here in the Collecting forums you not only give a warning but also hide your post by posting the text with a black highlight (like this - Neck is super cool ;) ) and then asking that users who don't mind being spoiled to read it by highlighting? We have some pretty hard-core non spoiler folks here (I should know, I'm one of them :p ) and I don't want anyone accidentally reading something they didn't want to know.

    Also, I'd like ask that when posting pics that may contain spoiler info you link to them with a warning before the link instead of directly posting them on the board where anyone just scrolling by could accidentally see them.

    Thanks a lot,

    Neck :D

    Has anyone ever seen the preliminary drawings of the Imperial Outpost that was going to be released after ROTJ was released. It was designed to be in scale with the Imperial Walker and was part Endor Bunkre, part turbo blaster from the ANH Death Star, and the shield projector dish from ROTJ.

    There are pictures floating around on the internet.
