I recently created fresh vintage-style reproduction stickers using all-new vector graphics. This R5-A2 unit is the first one I’ve posted with the new sticker:
I produced a sticker sheet with 16 different color schemes that can be combined with various paint jobs to create almost any droid you can think of. I’m posting these sheets on eBay for those who would like to do their own All you need is an old droid, and after 30 years, most have damaged stickers that make them good restoration candidates anyway.
Here’s a link to eBay. Check out my other auctions as well…

Here is my version of Hammerhead, an Ithorian, as a X-Wing rebel pilot.
Recipe:
- Vintage Hammerhead Head, Feet and Hands
- Vintage Bossk Arms and Legs

As always, I only use vintage figures that are beyond repair or restoration, breathing new life into something that would otherwise be thrown away.

We’ve seen an unmasked Vader late in life in ROTJ, but what would he have looked like unmasked during his prime? His is still scarred and burned, but looking stronger and not so pale. As Obi Wan says, “He’s more machine than man now…”
Still needs a black cape…
Recipe:
- Darth Vader Body
- GI-Joe Head
Darth Vader Armor
Here is a reference photo and link to more info.

This is my custom version of an Imperial Guard with his helmet removed, so we can get a glimpse of the type of man beneath the mask. The Imperial Guard was originally formed to protect the Galactic Senate, so these individuals pre-date the Stormtroopers and are not clones.
Still needs a red cape…
Recipe:
- Darth Vader Body
- SnowTrooper Helmet
- GI-Joe Head
Imperial Guard
Here’s a reference photo and link to more info.

Here’s my custom version of General Lando Calrissian. I created this for two reasons: One, the “real” version is somewhat rare, and two, the “real” version doesn’t quite get the uniform right. This custom doesn’t get it 100% either, but at least the slacks are (approximately) right.
Recipe:
- General Madine Torso and Shoulders
- Skiff Lando Head
- Bespin Lando Arms
- AT-AT Pilot Legs
All my customs use vintage figures that were in “played-with” condition and beyond restoration.
