Your welcome PB. Nope, didn't know that and you could be right.

On, sounds good :)

I should have an Iktochi, and possibly a certain ice cream man (stop him when he's passing by!) done soon. Stay tuned.

"I'm your ice cream man

I'm your ice cream man
Stop me when I'm passin' by
See all my flavors are guaranteed to satisfy"

Sure, you have the stories of Obi-Wan and Luke Skywalker, but even the characters who are on screen for seconds in Star Wars grow to have stories told about them. Aurra Sing was on screen in the Phantom Menace for a split second, but went on to become one of the most feared bounty hunters in comics and the Clone Wars cartoon. I already mentioned the Tonnika Twins and their history. And then The Empire Strikes Back brought us this legend....

Who was that man? Why that was Willrow freakin' Hood!

You see this cat Willrow is bad mother...

Parts:
Head and torso cast from Two Suns
Modified lower torso, neck peg, and shoulderbrackets from GB Ray Stanz
Legs and upper arms from X-Wing Luke
Lower arms from Rebel Fleet Trooper

The second custom was the apprentice for Darth Zannah, a prior custom, and former apprentice to Darth Bane. Like Zannah, Cognus only appeared in the Darth Bane trilogy novels, so there aren't any actual canon images of her outside of some random artists renditions, so it allowed me to pick and choose what I thought would look good. Here's more on Cognus...

Torso ML Mantis
Legs MCU Sif
Arms MCU Thena
Hands ML Hellcat
Belt Snakes Eyes Movie Baroness

Absolutely gorgeous Ice Cream Man…while I have no clue who Darth Zanna is, she has been expertly made!
I am one of the 63%....

Thanks. She's from the Darth Bane books. I'm not much for reading novels these days either, but I found audio book versiosn of them online, and they're cool to listen to while doing customs.

:o PB, you outdid yourself, this was something for somebody only seen literally for A SECOND :batshock: I have seen some characters that had tiny parts for only seconds like your Twins impostors but this is totally unreal :!: You captured him so much, even made him chunky with the big belly and his face is spot on :wwshock: Amazing how you did this, you made all the detail that was possible even with his ice-cream thingy :smgasp: This is your best one that I have seen yet :!:

I must say Darth Zannah is great too, I love her head sculpt, you made here wonderful too PB...a really great menacing Sith indeed :o

Thanks for the comments everyone. If Hasbro keeps raising prices all I'll have left are new customs.
