Imperialshipyards.net and Yakface.com have joined forces again to bring customizers another joint customizing event...

STAR WARS REBELS

file.php


The rules are simple - create a custom figure, vehicle, playset, etc., that's inspired by the upcoming STAR WARS REBELS animated series and post your work in our forums. Your custom just needs to be a NEW creation, and doesn't need to be in animated styling, or of an official character - this is to be your own creation! If you create one custom or several, you are entered into this contest one time... unless you post your custom at both sites - which means you then will be counted as having two entries, doubling your chance to win! See below for the official threads:

Official Yakface Thread - CLICK HERE

Official Imperialshipyards Thread - CLICK HERE

Customs can be submitted from now until Wednesday, April 30.

One (1) random winner will be chosen from the entries - and the winner will be completely random. The winner will receive the following Kmart Exclusive Scanning Crew sets, with free shipping:

There will be two (2) sets total resulting in the above pictured four (4) figures, packaged in their sealed boxes.

As always, admin are not eligible for prizes, but are certainly welcome to join in the fun and create a custom for this too.

Thank you everyone for making both of our sites among the most enjoyable Star Wars fan communities out there, and good luck!

:wink:

I will go ahead and kick this off with a non-5POA custom for this...!

Imperial Infiltrator - Made for the ISY/Yakface Rebels themed customizing challenge - start worked on this as soon as Tamer and I came up with the theme for this.

head - SAGA Legends
rest - TVC Captain Fordo

This turned out quite a bit better than I expected, really. I often look at my customs and think "ugh, you can do better" - on this one though, I'm pretty pleased with it. I might use him in my photonovel series too as it takes place around the time of Rebels.

A character whom I hope turns up in Star Wars: Rebels (although perhaps in a Galactica 1980 "The Return Of Starbuck" style rather than in an ongoing capacity) is old Ben Kenobi. Inspired by ENGELHA5T's rendition on DeviantArt of what the old fossil might look like in the era depicted by Rebels, I decided to put together my own animated rendition of the character, complete with the ability to pensively stroke his beard.





Recipe, reference and turnaround animation can be found in my customs thread.

Lucasarts classic 1994 TIE Fighter game featured cut scenes and missions making reference to Vice Admiral Thrawn commanding a fleet of the Imperial Navy in an attack on a Rebel outpost in the days before his elevation to the rank of Grand Admiral. Given the game's setting just after the events in A New Hope, it is not beyond the realms of possibility that the Vice Admiral may make an appearance in the upcoming Star Wars: Rebels series in an animated form with this lower rank, once again trying to quell any dissent against the Emperor's rule in the Outer Rim.





Recipe and turnaround animation can be found in my customs thread.

Here's my entry for the Rebels customizing contest. I have no idea what type of characters we'll see, but it looks like we'll get grittier characters, fewer Force users, etc. So, I've decided to create a mechanic. He's a Cerean mechanic, slightly elderly, used to work for a Separatist engineering unit until the war ended. He now just picks up odd jobs where he can.





I've always liked the Cerean race. There's something that looks inherently wise in their faces. I decided to make this guy look like he didn't have a set uniform, something resembling mechanics overalls. I also gave him a do-rag to clean up all the grease he deals with.

That Cerean custom is great! A lot of character - cool parts choice and paint work.

And what's this about possible SA Rebels characters at SDCC, hmmm?

I decided to remake a character that I'd love to see in the Rebels cartoon - Mother Talzin, aka The Great Mother, from Season 6 of the Clone Wars. I used the head from a previous Talzin custom, that was an Episode 7 concept. This custom sports an all new design, based mostly off the CW series, but with a few alterations to make it my own. I wanted to capture the power and elegance of this pivotal character. I even made a custom dark magick saber for her:

Here's my entry. It's a bounty hunter, Malarc Synter, who is currently working for the Empire and his trusted protocol droid, HD-M1. Malarc was a highly efficient sniper in a small outer rim militia until he was seriously injured in an explosion, leaving him scarred over 90% of his body.
