I am getting into customization and I am pretty excited for this next project. We have been working on the house and there is this little nook in the entry-way. Not much could go there so I got an idea to make custom figure of my family as Jedi. I am hoping to kit-bash some Jedi bodies and heads that approximate my family members then paint to get hair color, etc. With that I am looking for some fodder (and advice or suggestions).
I would like my wife and I to be taller than the kids (twin boys and a daughter).
Kids:
I was thinking
VC080 padawan Anakin,
padawan Zett Jukassa. As bases but they seem more rare and finding a girl head to fit might be tricky. I am also considering adult Jedi bodies that are on the shorter side.
Luke from Jedi Legacy pack or any other Jedi on that body I believe it has been used a few times for my boys.
Bultar Swan from the Jedi Legacy pack (this head may work well with a paint job as well) or
Jedi Leia from the comic pack for my daughter. If you have these available or other ideas please let me know.
My wife:
Originally I really liked the
Dark Woman for a base with a different head. I believe she is a tad short though so if I do larger bodies for the kids I would like to bump this up. Some ideas are
Stass Allie,
Shaak Ti,
Shaak Ti (Option #2), or maybe
Luminara Unduli. All would need some paint and head swaps.
Me:
Male Jedi body - there are a lot of options. Again something on the taller side if my kids are not on kids' bodies.
I have a place for cast heads and weapons but I am struggling with the bodies. I have some stuff to trade (the link in my signature is a bit out-dated FYI), I have some fodder (mostly in 1:12 scale at this point), or I could send PayPal funds. Any tips, suggestions, ideas, or fodder you might be able to share is greatly appreciated!
