Clone Wars Shadow Clone Trooper

I re-painted this trooper for my son, and he has named him "Dark Eye." My boy has come up with a full back story for him...Dark Eye is part of the ARC Troopers, and is good at being sneaky. He is a good trooper but doesn't listen to orders very well. Later on after the troopers betray the Jedi, he sneaks off instead and goes out to become a Bounty Hunter in Mandalorian Armor.

Clone Wars Asajj Ventress

Asajj Ventress...I really enjoy the style of the animated Clone Wars series, and I repainted Ventress to bring out more of the mold details and to darken her look up some and give her more contrasting colors. I also added a black skirt to her wardrobe. To me, Ventress reminds me of how Transformer's Starscream used to be in the old toon, sneaky, whiny, and a coward. But that is what I like about her character too and this was a fun little repaint.

Star Wars Darth Bane

Darth Bane is without a doubt my absolute favorite Sith Lord. I clipped the collar from his plastic cape and used a Vader cape instead and reattached the collar. I also swapped out the skirt for another soft goods on from my fodder boxes. I painted the removable armor of the figure, and did the rest of the figure in all black. There is some confusion or something about Bane, as some stories have him using a curved hilt red saber, and others where he has a traditional saber with purple blade, so I gave him both.

Custom Rob Zombie By Stronox and Tankster!!

This is a project between me and my good friend and fellow toy maker Tankster! I handled the figure portion while Tankster handled making the custom claw weapons. The figure was made from various GI Joe components, with a Prince of Persia guy head and sculpted beard and dreads. One of the best and most innovative of the toy customizers out there, Tankster has made this figure stand out a ton more and has completed the project with the addition of the claw weapons. This project was the prize made by us for fellow S12 member Proteus for top placement in a recent contest.

GI Joe Destro (my second version)

Another version of Cobra's arms supplier Destro, this verison is simply a repaint of the RoC version. I feel this color scheme better suits the character, and I re-tooled the neck to accomodate the classic 25th version head.

Star Wars Kyle Katarn

Kyle Katarn has always been one of my favorite characters in the Star Wars expanded universe. However, he has never really had a decent looking figure. Hasbro's newest comic pack version was okay, but I really didn't like the way he stood with the legs he had so I swapped out his lower half with another set I had in my fodder bin. I then gave him a total re paint to give him a more gritty look. I really like how he came out and he is one of my favorite customs.

Star Wars Galen Marek

With the release of The Force Unleashed 2 already out, I got inspired to re-make Vader's secret apprentice in his original digs from the first game...I used the 3 pack apprentice set here for the base figure, then a TRU boxed set Marek head, belt, and saber since they all better reflect Galen's likeness. Lastly, I switched out his feet with some GI Joe 25th Storm Shadow feet so that he could have the wrapping extended over his boots. Some paint apps later, and now I have an accurate looking Galen Marek code named "Starkiller" figure!
