Darth Vader Unmasked…

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

Snow Speeder Pilot Luke

In “The Empire Strikes Back”, we see Luke Skywalker on the planet Hoth piloting a Snow Speeder. He is in the same X-Wing orange uniform, except with large white leather gloves.

Recipe:

• Degoba Luke Head
• X-Wing Pilot Body and Helmet
• Hoth Han Solo Gloves and Boots

I only use vintage donor figures that are beyond repair or restoration.

K-3PO

Here’s a customization of one of my favorite droids: K-3PO.

This droid is seen in the first chapter of Empire Strikes Back. He is a white version of C-3PO who is in charge of the droid pool in Echo Base on the planet Hoth. Here is a link to this droid’s bio.

Notice the two red dots on the chest plate. I’m not sure if the back-story was made up after the fact, but those dots are rank insignia, making K-3PO a commander in the Rebel Alliance.

Recipe:

• Vintage C-3PO

The donor figure had lost not only his gold coloring, but started loosing quite a bit of metal as well…
