Updating Your Minifigs

[Mamma Mia Bricks]

Hi guys,

I want to create in real life these characters from the Force Awakens videogame.

Can you help me identify heads and Unamo's hair piece (if they actually exist in real life)?

Thanks a lot!

Tagge and maybe Motti 

That face is spot on for Motti. What set is it from?

[Cult_Of_Skaro]

That would be Lucius Malfoy's head from Harry Potter. Should be pretty cheap to acquire.

Anyone got a good head for this guy?

I used this head. Unfortunately it is dual sided so you will see the mouth and beard at the back of his head. I think it works very well despite that, though.

Anyone know if there have been any blue/black dual molded legs produced that would be suitable for the new First Order Officer from the battlepack? I was sure I had some but I can't find them and don't know where they would have come from!

Thr Batman Gotham police battlepack has some. You could probably bricklink a couple fairly cheap now as a result. 

There is some printing so if you want them plain you'll have to do some scrubbing.

Hi !

I found those legs for Ruescott Melshi :

Wonder how it could look.

Perfect. A couple of useful heads in the pack too. The white policeman would be a good hoth rebel and the black policeman could get put into service for Saw Guerrera!

Updated Juno Eclipse, updated Sabine (thanks to Kim-Kwang-Seok for the influence) with the dark sabre (squint and just pretend) and jetpack, using up vintage Nien Numb parts to create a more aesthetically-pleasing rebel pilot and my Saw Gerrera without his clunky piping.

The Juno Eclipse is brilliant! Where are the arms from?

[Daddy_Stardust]

Thank you :) They're from swimming pool Batman!

[McLustig]

Really cool!

I haven't erased the printing off the dark tan legs but once thats done ever type of imperial officer will have boots except ISB agents, still holding out on dual molding black on black.

Ordered one pair for Tarkin and one for Imperial Officer. Thanks for the lead!

As good as it looks and would love to do so myself, I've sadly not bothered with the boots for the simple fact that I've got a few of the vintage Imperial officers in old dark grey and I'd rather have them all alike next to the new ones than to draw greater attention to their potential out-datedness. Granted I've replaced their heads with modern ones and mostly used them on women with hairpieces (so I don't use the awful old cavalry caps anyway), but obviously the torsos still aren't quite as nice as the current ones.

Unless of course there is a solution? But I'm naturally assuming there never was any dual-molded black booted legs in old dark grey. If I can be corrected on that then I'll happily get on Bricklink straight away haha.

I know that if I want to get geeky I could pretend that their slightly different uniform colour-scheme means they're, say, science officers (that's fine, we've got black, white and tan coloured officers along with grey crewmen anyway) - if you look in the Ultimate Visual Guide to Rogue One you'll even see Galen Erso in a standard Imperial uniform but with his trousers worn actually covering over his boots which works to explain the difference in and lack of leg printing... but again from a simply aesthetic perspective it'll just make the older torso and leg combos look worse so won't bother.

As with the old white Nien Numb torso above, I follow a waste-not-want-not approach and do like to keep vintage printed parts going and updating the legs and heads to bring them up to date as best I can. I've got a few vintage X Wing pilot torsos that I've combined with the modern printed legs and I don't mind at all that they're different to the newer torsos; I like to think it gives them a bit of personal identity to the pilots rather than being clones of one another (except sadly any back printing) - especially since in my imagination the rebellion should be a bit rag-tag, scruffy and underfunded.

Plus my son plays with them all, so can't have figures going to waste :)

Can you post a better pic of Juno's head please? Really love it.

I'm fairly sure it's the head of March Harriet.
