    Before Boba Fett wore his signature Mandalorian armor, he had a much different look. This is what Boba sported back when he headed up Krayt's Claw, a Tatooine-based syndicate of bounty hunters led by the adolescent bounty hunter. During the Clone Wars, Bossk, Latts Razzi, and Oked were present...

    This was a sculpt created by Uzay Customs. Our client sent us the 3D design file so all we had to do was print it at home at paint it. We are huge fans of "Young Jedi Adventures" here at home. Dad said parents of younglings should add this show to their childrens viewing line up. "Star Wars...

    With me studying for my Industrial Design degree at UCONN and Dad working overtime every week, the time needed to make custom action figures has been in short supply. Usually, I have my commissions to fall back on for posts, but a good portion of my year was spent making action figures for...

    Dad purchased this headsculpt from vonShoetoys on Etsy so we can have a more complete release of Moff Gideon in his Dark Trooper Armor appearance. I just needed to paint the resin headcast when it arrived to complete the alternate head. Once completed we added him to the rest of the figures on...

    C-21 Highsinger is droid much needed in The Vintage Collection. There have been so many droids neglected in the 3.75" line. That is why we felt Highsinger would be a great character to promote the 3rd annual Last Figure Standing fan poll event going on currently. Collectors recently submitted...

    Adding variety to the blog has been challenging this year. The way my commission requests have been developing, I have already had to make three Assaj Ventress this year with only minor variations. The actual commission for this project is for another Assaj Ventress, but I had a TVC Assaj...

    This was a fun project we did to fill out our Jabba's Palace display. Loje Nella was a shadowy Riorian female who was a member of the Hutt crime lord Jabba Desilijic Tiure's court. In 4 ABY, she was present in the throne room booths of Jabba's Palace on the planet Tatooine during a performance...

    Anise I'Zak isn't a Jedi most fans know of, but fans who have read the Star Wars: Clone Wars Adventures comic really appreciated her, especially my client who commissioned this. I was asked to emulate the animation style of 2008 The Clone Wars TV series rather than the Tartakovsky design style...

    Fifteen years ago today, Dad and I started this blog, and "Customs for the Kid" was born. At the time, I was only 6 years old. Neither of us had any experience making our own action figures. We were just inspired by others in the Star Wars custom action figure artist community enough to want to...

    When my client ordered Duchess Zilla, he also requested her companion, Bombardier! I recently just completed my first version of Captain Bombardier, but the client only wanted him. Shortly after, I got the commission for both of them. I was happy with The Duchess, and my first Bombardier, but...

    This was an action figure that I wanted to do for Pride Month due to an inside joke in the Star Wars Rebels fan community. If you know you know. To make the figure I boiled and popped the 3.75" head of a Zeb that came in a 2-pack with a Stormtrooper. Modified it so it fit to a TVC Zeb from...

    At the beginning of this year, I was asked to make a 3.75" Captain Bombardier for a client. This particular client wasn't interested in purchasing the Duchess to go along with him, but a new client, having seen what I did with that project wrote me asking to make this character a reality. The...

    Dad grabbed this 3D print model by Angry Raccoon Miniatures so we could add one more Sabaac player to our "Solo: A Star Wars Story" action figure collection after watching the film in 3D on our home television this weekend. There are countless characters from this film that we would love to add...

    I can't tell you how very proud I am of my most recent custom action figure commission. It turned out to be one of my more special creations. A few years ago I was asked to make a similar Assaj Ventress based on her appearance in the novel "Dark Disciple" based on the concept art from the...
