i voted assassins, it apealed to me the most even though i probably wont enter since im hopeless when it comes to customs. Do repaints count as customs though?
Darn you! Band Members has to win! :evil: I should think that repaints would count as a custom, since you have customized it. I'm not sure though I've never been in YAKfinities before.

Repaints definitely count. If you want to go back and look at some of the past contests, the last page or two of each thread shows all the entries... for example, here's the entries from when the theme was The Force Unleashed -

I picked the Unleashed figures. I had suggested it at FFURG for a Casting Call one time and it was kinda shot down so it would be nice to see it here. Doesn't look like this month but at some point.

As for the slipage in participation time is an issue. I am busting my butt trying to get my amphibous figure completed.

I'm really starting to doubt I'll enter this one. :? I was getting ideas for Band Members and had rough concepts but it looks like Assassins are winning. I'll have to start re-thinking, I'm sure I'll enter in the end but right now it looks unlikely with what I've got. It'd require buying fodder that's for sure and some time planning. I could always work Mara Jade into an Assassin if thats the outcome.

You can still place your entry after the deadline Sylexus, it just doesn't qualify for the drawing anymore :)

All these themes of the Yakfinities are also a great inspiration. For example, TFU is due in a couple of weeks, so I can imagine you'd like to make a TFU custom. Check out the entries and get inspired :D

Assassins? Hrrmm... Okay. I'll try it out. I have Mara Jade ready for complete destruction and customizing, I hated that figure. I wanted a Mara Jade, but I wanted something that looked human. Now, what would the weapon be? I'm thinking of something like a female assassin. Very pretty, but deadly.

vibroshiv? huge missile launcher? Force pike?

I dunno those all jsut seem very anti-female

I'm just gonna take totally random parts from random things and make something. :p

assassins are a more up my alley, i have lots of fodder I can use here. I have not been into the past 2 or 3 challenges due to lack of fodder.....mostly!

Greetings Everyone!

I've been lurking the Yakforums for several months but decided to take the plunge and register. I have continually been inspired by all the great custom action figures that are regularly posted time and time again and I no longer wanted to be left out of the fun. I'm trying to carve out a niche of making custom figures that require little to no painting, which can be quite difficult at times as getting parts to meld when they vary in size, color, texture, etc can take a lot of engineering and witty disguise. Hopefully you'll get as much enjoyment out of my customs as I got out of crafting them.

So I present my first Yakfinities custom. Her name is simply Agent X. She chooses not to use her birth name so as to not reveal her identity or history. Her most recent assignment is to eliminate the Separtist Leader Count Dooku on the planet Geonosis. Unfortunately, the Jedi arrived and started some kind of war, so she'll have to try again later. :wink:

I like the assassin, Pizza. I was trying to figure out what to do with that Swan bandolier. Some awsome customs are just part swaps. Great job.

:D I'll see what I can do for this month,

I have just started on my customs again & forgot just how many parts I have - saturday I'll get some paint & then the fun can begin.

I have had to drop customs etc whilst getting the wedding/house sorted but now I have my own loft ....... :wink: :lol:

Welcome PizzatheHut! Good to see another new face around these parts, and what a great way to kick off this month - not only with a new member, but a great custom to boot.

I like this quite a bit. She looks like an interesting character, and almost the ultimate no-paint-kit-bash actually. Nice backstory for her too.

:wink:

Welcome Pizza!

She looks really good for "just" a parts swap / kit bash. Part swapping done well can be under appreciated, and I think you did a really good job of finding parts that believable blend together.

I totally understand you wanting to work on that specific niche of non painted customs, but I think the part selection you've made really deserves an original paint job to show it off! Either way, a great figure to introduce yourself with. Look forward to seeing more of your stuff!
