Ebkas Posted March 10, 2017 (edited) Hi! This is exactly what the title says, a topic about purist Star Wars custom minifigs. I know there was a topic like this before, but it hasn't been replied to for a while and I'm not sure if I would be allowed to bump it. This is not restricted to just minifigures, so custom droids etc, can be posted here. Edited March 10, 2017 by Ebkas Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jamiejme Posted March 10, 2017 This seems pretty familiar with the topic 'Updatig your Star Wars minifigs'. I'd check that out if I were you Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'd check that out if I were you I am a regular poster on that topic and it's not the same as what I mean. On there, one would post updates to a figure previously released by Lego, whereas on here, one would post purist customs of a figure which has not previously been released by Lego. You can check out the original topic here. I hope that I cleared some confusion! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Flandy Posted March 10, 2017 What is a "purist" custom minifigure? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Moppo Posted March 10, 2017 I'm assuming it's a custom minifigure made using only official Lego parts and prints. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There may be illegal connections, but there can't be any altered or custom parts. Hope that made sense! Edited March 10, 2017 by Ebkas Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kristof Posted March 11, 2017 Phew... Idk about these topics. It is good to conceive some inspirational ideas but this? If you at least had some of your own minifigs to share and invited others based on that. Without it this I feel this is just unfounded attempt to moderate the activity on the forum :/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kristof Posted March 11, 2017 ^ Well then starting the topic after you have the photos ready seems like far better practice. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LuxorV Posted March 11, 2017 This kind of topic is better suited for the Minifig Customisation Workshop, where similar purist and non-purist threads already exist for other themes. Moving now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think things through about twice a year. :3 Anyway, here's a Photoshopped Mara Jade. Bad I know, but it gets the point across.

I've done a Mara Jade but I used a Dooku torso. This is an older shot but I've updated the legs to Han's TFA legs as you have used on the Photoshop. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I wasn't going to post it here but with seeing the photoshop image you uploaded I just thought I'd drop it in. With regards to completely new custom figures I think Wuher was easy to do, obviously there are various rebel pilots and imperial officers that can be created but I wouldn't really count those as they're just variations of a figure. I did create a legacy Jedi from one of the games once using grey pony tail hair and Boussh torso which worked pretty well. I can't seem to remember the name of the Jedi at the moment though. Just remembered... it was Rahm Kota. Boushh torso, Jedi printed robe legs, grey pony tail hair from POTC with (probably) a Ben Kenobi grey bearded face.

I made a Wuher, but since most purist customs of him are pretty much the same, I decided not to post it here. That Jedi figure sounds interesting though. If you want to, you should post it here!
