Guys, it's an extremely generous gesture, and believe me I really appreciate it, but I've been spoiled rotten at home over the course of my recovery. I'm doing really, really well (still a month or so of recovery left, and some follow up surgeries to come but I'm doing good), and am extremely happy with just the amazing turn out the project had.
Greg, I really, really think that's an awesome gesture, but I'd just be more comfortable to stick to the original prize set up. Not trying to be ungrateful here, I'm just already floored by all the support you guys have given me, and I'm really doing pretty good. Seriously, thank you though, that's an incredibly kind gesture. But honestly, I'd be more interested to see what you could come up with custom wise with your two figures!
From having the project to work on to steady my nerves in the month leading up to the surgery, to having all the kind words posted from everyone to wake up to in recovery, you guys have already done more than you can know to help me through a really frustrating and frightening few weeks. This was already my favorite customizing forum, just because everyone is enthusiastic and encouraging, and now I know just how kind everyone is too.
I'm still a little limited with how long I can look at the monitor, but I've been wanting to comment on the entries that came in later. They were great and all deserve comments! I'll have another look and try to get posting on that.
I'll be more than happy with the final figure from the prize pool!
Thanks again everyone. This process has been a real lesson in humility and learning how to graciously except kindness. At the same time, I'd be more comfortable if my surgery didn't overshadow the project itself here, so I really would like to stick original prize pool structure.

Wow totally unexpected for sure...I was just excited to participate with so many amazing customizers. Chewie, I don't know if this would be ok or not. I would like to choose one figure and give Dan the other two in honor of his perserverance through this tough time in his life. In which case I think it only fitting I choose the IG Lancer Droid since I do love droids. Thanks and congrats to everyone on a truly awesome Customizing Challenge!
