Updating Your Minifigs

[Venkefedo]

I used J Jonah's head. I know it's a grey 'tache over a brown one but I just preferred it.

Looks great! You just have to be careful to photograph him so his alt-face isn't showing

Little jealous you've got two Piett torsos there... I tried ordering a couple from Bricklink, different sellers, but was sent Tarkin torsos instead

[Robianco]

Hmm. That J Jonah head would be good for a Pellaeon.

I went with White 'tache for Pellaeon

Are those decals?

[Venkefedo]

Odd that Thrawn & Isard have Clone Wars-era uniforms, tho they look pretty great overall. I think J Jonah Jameson's face works for a Thrawn-era Pellaeon, and then Yularen's face would work for a Hand of Thrawn/NJO/"Old Man of the Empire" Admiral/Grand Admiral Pellaeon. They're close enough that they could pass for "same guy, different ages" I think.

[Robianco]

They're both Christo customs. I managed to pick them both up with virtually no other bids so the price stayed low. I've since added the white legs with black boots to Thrawn. It's a shame he hadn't updated the design on these since he originally created them but I don't think that was a priority for him so I'll just live with the fact they're slightly different in style to the other Imperials.

I updated Starkiller after getting his torso for around 30p in an eBay lot:

He's there with a custom Mara Jade. Dooku's torso works well for her (as I don't think she needs huge Super Hero breasts). The chain across the top works well and the brown thick belt. Hips are actually brown Han hips along with plain black legs.

I know this isn't a custom SW thread so apologies for the additional of custom figs into the updated SW ones.

That Mara Jade is really, really good. I've been trying to think of a female character for that Dooku torso and may end up using it for Mara. Nicely done.

I'm actually wondering if Han's new EPVII legs would work with the brown hips as they are black and have the brown holster straps. I might see what the BL costs are for those.

Personally, I'm not against custom Star Wars minifigures being posted here.

What is the source of those dual molded gray and white legs?

Howards wife from bbt

[HawkLord]

Ha! That Ric Olie is awesome. He's kind of an inside joke because I remember back when TPM action figures hit, you could always find a Ric Olie everywhere.

[Junior Shark]

Ric Olie looks surprisingly awesome. I'd let him fly me past a blockade anytime!

[Venkefedo]

He was one of the first characters named in official materials, and shown in photos... I recall fan boards at the time wondered if he'd be the "Han" of the movie--basically what Poe kinda was in TFA. Not exactly how he turned out...

But that minifig is terrific! Great batch of updates all around.

[Fenom]

Great batch of updates all around.

Thanks! Still trying to pick up a 2013 Palpatine head, but do you possibly have any ideas for better legs?

That almost sounds like a pickup line :laugh:

Howards wife from bbt

I'm guessing you're talking about big bang theory. Is that a joke? I don't know much about the show.

Yah big bang. And no joke. He said he used her legs and erased all the print.

What can I say? Receding hairlines are where it's at.

Ohhhh okay haha. I googled the set and didn't see those legs. I then googled "howard's wife from bbt" and got the impression that there was a shroud of mystery as to what she looked like. Thanks though

what head is on that grand admiral thrawn.

[Kman860]

Maybe something from Marvel?

[pittpenguin123]

He said they are customs didn't he?

[Robianco]

Yeah. It's a custom printed figure by Christo. Same as Ysanne Isard with the different coloured eyes. I've actually got a Bail Organa on it's way.

[addemlit]

Did you custom order it? I don't see it on his site
