Custom ephant in 1985 style hobby project

[GreenYodaBrownSnake]

For a little diorama building hobby project I'm doing some customs. Can't really decide the color of the Ephant Mon cloak, though.
I know in the movie it looks quite dark, but I think that's because he's standing, you know, in the dark...
Some on-set shoots show the character more in a cream canvas cloak.

Question: >>>>> which of the two color schemes do you guys think is cooler?

 

[Montross]

Very nice work! My preference would be the darker cloak.

I love the sculpts, how did you do them? Were they a complete sculpt or did you use a base.

 

[DarthPete]

Awesome work, I love the aesthetic. I prefer the dark cloak.

 

[GreenYodaBrownSnake]

Thanks for the feedback. Didn't use a base. Surprised no-one liked the cream one It was my favorite but now I'm starting to wonder

Dark brown one on the right looks the best, IMO.

I'm getting Roger Smith vibes!

Does he wear a light or a dark cloak?

The chocolate brown one looks better (sinister) for Jabba's palace' Ephont Mon, but I would like the cream one in a street diorama.
The brown goes well with the Kenner feel, but the cloak had more grey in it.

I just ordered one of these from Etsy. Pretty excited to get him added to my Jabba area! Can’t wait to get him. Thanks for offering him!

It should look slightly better than the prototypes above, which were done in a different material from the original 80s line.

I think I saw some like them up for auction recently. They would be a stellar addition to any collection.

Just got mine delivered today. It’s a really cool figure and meshes perfectly with my Jabba setup! Great work!

So glad you like it!

I just got mine in the other day and am really impressed with the quality and feel. I hope you continue making more figures. I custom painted mine.

 

[Tulgah]

It looks great!

Just in case anyone is interested, I'm doing a very small run of factory created Ephants in these variant colors.
We need 13 more people to make this little project possible. See on: https://www.cognitoforms.com/TheNext171/EphantVariants

This feels sooooo long ago

Small update

 

[GreenYodaBrownSnake]

Update: The pre-order about to close as factory is in full production - see prototypes shots

These are factory produced, steel mold figures, same quality and weight as the original line. I don't expect I'll ever put in a second factory order for these as custom demand is just too low for another MOQ order.

If you're interested, click the link below and read the page carefully before signing up. Price per figure is around $35 +shipping.
