Showcasing a Fan’s Customs

I first came across David Simpson’s customs on Rebelscum (where he is known as jedi_ds) and Hasbro’s Heroes (where he is known as ghcustoms).   He has shown quite a knack for creating figures of characters not made yet in the Galactic Heroes style, so I asked if I could post them on the ol’ blog.  He was nice enough to rephotograph some of them in diorama style, so enjoy!

We start off with the Mos Eisley Cantina, where you can see a number of patrons including Yerka Mig, Biggs, Djas Puhr, BoShek, Danz Borin, Lirin Car’n, Garouf Lafoe and Hrchek Kal Fas.

Next are a number of figures from one of my favourite scenes in the Original Trilogy, ice planet Hoth.  Here we have Han (no hood), Leia (helmet & goggles), Hoth speeder bike, K-3PO,R-3PO, Rebel Trooper and  Toryn Farr.

And to finish we have Bespin, home to the greatest scoundrel in the universe.  Shown here are an Ugnaught, Lobot, Bespin Security Guards, Cloud Car Pilot, Wilrow Hood, Bespin Leia, IG Assassin Droid and Medical Bay Luke.

If anyone else has some customs they’d like to show off, please comment!

Clear R2-D2 Galactic Hero

I came across an interesting auction on ebay last week for a transparent 2-legged R2-D2 figure.  So naturally the questions arose – is it an upcoming figure?  a cancelled one?  or maybe just a custom?  The seller was from Hong Kong, so since the figures are produced there, anything is possible.  If you’ve got an ideas, feel free to comment!
