Updating Your Minifigs

[Ebkas]

Another reason why Lego should make a Dagobah set. But if they do, people will get mad that they used Jedi training Luke instead of Bespin Luke or visa-versa. 

Also, here's the page with the cape technique for LegoSWFan.

I don't think anyone would get mad if they didn't put bespin Luke. After all, bespin Luke should be for a bespin set. I think more people would be angry if they put a x wing Luke in a dagobah set. We need an update for Luke in training gear more than a x wing one. I think they could do something interesting for the backpack for Yoda to sit in.

I'm not quite sure what they could do for the backpack though, they'd probably just use a normal one.

The normal ones can't hold anything though. Maybe they could use a new mold. Or just make a built one like last time.

Oh, I though I would add this in why do we always get Luke in blond hair? His hair is not blond in the movie. It is closer to the color of the episode 6 hair we get, but I don't think we get the episode 4 hair in that color.

A lot of people have used the medium flesh version of that hair which comes in some Nexo Knights sets.

That looks a little too orange. Doesn't look right on Luke think blond looks a little better than that.

Yeah, I think those are the only colours that piece comes in unfortunately.

The new chef legs would look good on Yularen. It has continuing white shirt printing on black legs.

Actually that's a really good point but would the lines for the imperial tunic and the bottom of the chef's tunic match up?

Just gave boots to my A-Wing pilot :

As plain dual molded red / black legs don't exist, I've bought Mickey's legs on BL, and I removed the printing. I could use an eraser for the white dots, but I had to use nail polish remover for the yellow shoes.

What kind of eraser did you use?

The Frozen Anna minidoll has a cape that drapes over the shoulders, and with some modifications you could use that as a template and cut it out on some white fabric.

I also have seen someone put the two holes from the cape in the arms and I'll post the link when I find it.

Hope this helped!

This one I daresay ? http://s3.amazonaws.com/content.sellbrite.com/14376/32469017/img/32016056/large/__1.jpg?1462569239

That should be possible to tinker the template in order to make it good, I will try. Thank you !

I'm pretty sure they do. I will take a picture when I get the chef.

A rOtring B20. I don't know if it has anything special though. I used it a couple times before to remove the printing of some CCBS chestpieces (example here).

Here's a picture of the legs 

Seems to match up with this

Would be a great upgrade for Krennic too !

Yes, that is the one. I think its the only official Lego cape which drapes over the shoulders actually.

Yes, Yoda needs to get an update for the OT. We've gotten a good prequel Yoda, but he's not too good for the OT Yoda.

I agree, especially because Yoda is portrayed as a little old helpless/dying green "frog" so he doesn't really get up to much fighting. I can understand PT Yoda having short legs as he moves and jumps around a lot as a basass littlejedi Grand Master so I like the Maggie torso

I agree that the Maggie torso is good for OT Yoda, but I doubt that they would use that mold again. It was apart of the Simpsons series and Lego has been known for making new molds in a CMF series and never using them again.

Any ideas on making a better gun for Baze from Rogue One? The brick build one from the AT-ST  just looks weird to say the least...

Not really a purist mod, but i'll post it here anyway.

Recently i've got my hands on Krennic's shuttle which is superb IMO. I've also became very fond of K2-SO figure which came with the set , but it's short arms bothered me a little, so i decided to mod them

Here is the final result. I think it looks way better than before (sorry for bad quality pic, i'm not that good at photographing)
