Yakfinities #71 - CONCEPT SERIES - WINNERS POSTED

[mousedroidhoojib]

A beautiful piece entitled "star wars - rule 63 prequel trilogy" by shorelle on DeviantArt depicts a genderswapped version of the core characters from the Prequel Trilogy. Padem Amidala, the Boy King Of Naboo, is depicted wearing a headdress not unlike that of a more Earthly boy king, Tutankhamun.

Reference, recipe and turnaround animation can be found in my customs thread.

Wow, that is very cool take in a what if scenario.

I have a couple ideas that I hope I can find time to make customs for before this round wraps up.

:wink:

Ryan Church's concept art for what became Rogue One's TIE Striker featured a traditional TIE Fighter body with a TIE Interceptor-like wing suspended over the body, unlike the version seen on screen which had seperate port and starboard wings without a rear connector strut. This wing design did however end up being used on screen for the TIE Reaper used to transport Death Troopers to the battlefield on Scarif.

Hi all
Here are a few of my concept customs for Yakfinities.
Cheers

 

[DarthParallax]

@jaghearse , like your old man han , and concept jedi a lot , like the eyepatch you added to mudi too . Great figures !

 

[jaghearse]

Thank you DarthParallax, although I cant take credit for the eye patch. Its the head from Hasbro's own concept ki adi mumdi figure.

 

[DarthParallax]

Hrm ... must have missed that figure at some point. Now I'm going to have to check this out.

 

[YAK_Chewie]

@ jaghearse - those are outstanding!!

:wink:

 

[jaghearse]

Thank you YAK_Chewie

 

[Starchaser]

Jaghearse - great set of customs!

Mousedroidhoojib - that TIE Striker concept is great!

Prior to being seen as his more familiar appearance on screen, Attack Of The Clones concept artist Dermot Power envisaged Kit Fisto as being a female Sith. Many of the design cues of this version of the character eventually found their way into Senator Eeusu Estornii.

Here's my entry, a custom super articulated OBI-WAN KENOBI IN JEDI TRAINING GEAR figure. This custom 3.75" action figure was a lot of fun for me to build as it needed only a small amount of paint work.

 

[Starchaser]

Kit Fisto looks really good.
So does the super articulated Obi-Wan, I also really like the brown paint scheme on him.

 

[YAK_Chewie]

Wow - that Kit Fisto concept and SA Obi Wan are great! Nice work guys.

:wink:

For this challenge, I decided to make a concept alien of my own design, only limited by my custom fodder bin! Seen here is the rarely glimpsed Fraggelian Savrip, native to Takodana. They live underground, and have been known to steal from Maz Kanata's garden!

darth_sidious: Wow! That is fantastic, I love the design! What a great character!

 

[Starchaser]

That's a great design and fun concept. Kudos.

 

[darth_sidious]

darth_sidious: Wow! That is fantastic, I love the design! What a great character!

Thanks a lot, we should add to the backstory that your sweet version of Fett was hired by Maz to track these critters down in her castle.

That's a great design and fun concept. Kudos.

Thanks, glad you like it - I wanted to go with an oddball design, because I can never have too many SW creatures. Speaking of interesting designs, I like the direction you went with Holdo, what body did you use? In the Princess Leia novel, they wear jumpsuits during training, so this design would be a great representation of that.

 

[Starchaser]

Thanks darth_sidious - I used a "Thunderbirds Are Go" Kayo Kyrano figure for Holdo. The flight/jump suit works well for female characters (though it lacks some of the articulation of the Vintage Collection bodies),

I came across this Ep. 8 concept picture of Kylo Ren and had wanted to make him for some time.

The head is from an Ep. 8 POA Kylo figure, with the hair removed. A fellow customizer suggested using crazy glue to Green Stuff to fill in the head. When the glue was still wet, I sprinkled baking soda to add texture. Looks scarred, I think. I painted the head with a combo of pink and white paint (couldn't find my flesh colored paint) and then dabbed black hair in place with a Q-tip. (Not completely satisfied with the hair; it may go.) Also dabbed white paint in the right eye to look like it's bad.

The body is the BS Kylo with the skirt trimmed.

I've been wanting to make a six-inch version of this guy.
