Yakfinities #50 - THE ORIGINAL TRILOGY - WINNERS ANNOUNCED!

[r1g4r3po]

coming in under thw wire.....still needs some more work but here is Leia 0rgana II..the human replica droid
from http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Leia_Organa_II
View attachment 1..basically a quick throw-some-spare-parts together sort of deal.
Same w/ Han Solo as TIE Pilot which is an older fig i did some time ago

Better late than never!

An A-wing pilot from ROTJ. I wanted him to appear as if he were doing some last-minute repairs to his ship before battle. I used the Mon Cal pilot body and the arms from Talon Karde to give the sleeves rolled up look.

 

[OC47150]

This guy could be a generic Mos Eisley citizen but I based him on the moisture vaporator short story character from Tales from the Mos Eisley Cantina. Used a farmboy Luke as the body, but switched the waist out with another part. The head is from the B-wing figure.

 

[OC47150]

Another of vap guy.

One of my favorite figs from the '07 line was the Death Star trooper. I couldn't resist the retro look.

I finished my second entry - this time its Logray in an alternate outfit (as seen in Season 2 of the Ewoks cartoon). Easily one of my favorite figures as a kid, I would have loved to see the line continue! I tried to pay attention to detail by making his fur white, adding the extra feathers, and even including the tail on his purple cloak. I included a picture with the original Kenner figure as a comparison.

My entry is of Obi-wan Kenobi and Luke Skywalker. My interpretation if Ben had some more time with Luke training him as a proper apprentice. Ben is made with thebupper torso and legs of a Legacy Obi-wan and the skirt and hands of a Episode 3 Obi-wan. Luke is the body of a TVC Episode 2 Obi-wan and the head of a TBS medal ceremony Luke.

 

[Darth Bobo]

Some crazy good work as always on these challanges.
I ran out of time to finish my entry but thought i would post it any way.
Here is My Imperial Hoth Commander.

 

[YAK_Chewie]

GREAT WORK GUYS! Entries are now completed.

It's going to take a little longer to sort this one all out as the Yakface staff will be voting on the grand prize winner and then we'll have the traditional roundup with random winners. I have a very heavy workload in early January too - but expect all this to all be announced in mid-January.

Thanks everyone for making this such a great Yakfinities, and Yakfinities #51 is already underway here.

:wink:

 

[darth_sidious]

I agree - a lot of fantastic work all around, the Yakface staff will probably have a difficult time picking a winner! I gotta say, one of my favorites is Cane Adiss - its easily my most wanted Jabba's Palace character, I'd love to see one made by Hasbro.

What paint or paints did you use for the death squad commander look? thanks in advance.

[OC47150]

I'm thinking it's the Craft Smart brand from Michael's. As for the shade, it's either dolphin grey or just a plain light grey. I packed my paints and stuff up for the holidays and can't lay my hands on them that quick to give you an exact title.

I did nothing with the helmet, gloves or boots. That's genuine Hasbro.

And thanks for the comment.

Thanks so much. I've been intrigued by him a long time too and he was a lot of fun to do. Despite Hasbro making plenty of Jabba aliens lately, I'm not hopeful they'll ever tackle Cane. I'd love to see other peoples' interpretation of the body.

So many amazing customs for this Yakfinities! I love seeing all these great OT characters getting some love. I have not been around these parts in a while but really wanted to contribute in this, the 50th Yakfinities.


First up is one of the Gonk droids I cast and repainted. The vintage Gonk with modern sculpt.

Here is a repaint of Col. Cracken to better match the reference image of the character.

Last but not least is something I never thought I would do. A full repaint of the new 6 inch Greedo. Eating my words as we speak!

What amazing work... simply amazing. I absolutely HAVE to make a Gonk like that... too bad Hasbro's version didn't have that vintage tribute feel to it. I have a feeling it would have been far more popular than the true product they released.

:wink:

So many great entries. Great work, everyone!

Time to announce the Grand Prize Winner(s)!

After a very tough vote, the Yakface Staff could not decide on one single winner. We felt that we had to go wtih two winners. This was not expected, so we felt it would only be fair to double up on the Grand Prize. So both winners will EACH receive the Droid Factory Wave... and those winners are:

- Cane Adiss by Sjefke
- Ewoks by Darth Daddy

Great work by both of you, and everyone who took part in Yakfinities #50! There were quite a few other entries that had consideration for this too - this was tough! I'm glad that these are usually random prize winners only!

If you can both PM me your shipping details, I will get your prizes sent off in the next week.

Everyone else... sit tight! In a couple days we'll conclude with the complete Roundup Report, as well as the 3 RANDOM PRIZE WINNERS.

:wink:

2 Grand Prizes seems more than fair given the sheer level of awesomeness on display.

 

[geeksummit]

Congrats guys. VERY cool pieces.

 

[DarthDaddy]

Sjefke, if I was one of the judges for this contest you totally would have taken the prize all by yourself and there would be no tie. Your Cane Adiss action figure is my pick for Star Wars custom action figure of the year! What I wouldn't give to have that action figure! The amount of articulation you added to that figure was just astounding and well appreciated. You should definitely mold and cast your headsculpts. I really love how you documented your entire process. So much work went into it, but it totally paid off. I tip my hat.

Can't tell you what an honor it is to win the Grand Prize at Yakfinities #50 :shock: ! I'm on CLoud 9 This is the first forum I ever started showing my figures in and this win will always hold a lot of sentimental value for me. Especially because it was #50! So many amazing entries from so many talented artists. Can't wait to see the round up report!

I bet you Remco's happy. He owns the winning pair :wink: *Remco - Makes me feel a little less guilty that I was so late getting those Ewoks done now that they were the Yakfinities #50. Makes me feel like I at least sent you something prize worthy after all that procrastination.

 

[YAK_Chewie]

2 Grand Prizes seems more than fair given the sheer level of awesomeness on display.

Agreed - we had to do it this way in my opinion. I wish that we could have done at least 1-2 more Grand Prizes. But, the random winners will still be coming up on Monday!

:wink:
