HJR's custom minifigs

Recommended Posts

Since 2004 I've been making custom minifigs, and have recently (re)made pictures of them. I have 250+ unique characters, so allow me to place them here in batches in the next couple of months :wink:

Great help in making these minifigs are two source:

- The book "Star Wars: The Ultimate Action Figure Collection" by Steve Sansweet

- The website jedibusiness.com which also contains prototypes, and also shows the accessories that come with the figures.

So here's the first batch:

Such as easy custom; still don't understand why everyone yells for an 'official' minifig...

not my own design, but lovely!

Notice the tear in her right eye?

Long live Arealight customs!

Robby! The first robot with a conscience in US cinema :-)

Don't worry, I also made his army ;-)

Yup, it's Han's clothes, just as in the movie!

Great decals from Kaminoan; 8 years old and still no colour loss

Nice minifigs but should this be in the Minifig Customization Workshop since not all of the are Star Wars, like Wall-e?

Of the 250+ minifigs, roughly 5 are non-Star Wars :-)

Great customs, HJR!

Are some torsos custom printed (other than the AL one)?

there are 3 Arealight ones I recognize Ayy Vida, Shae Vizla and Maris Brood.

Gotta make myself a Wuher and Tholme based on these, I think! Also love seeing a Winter. Old Anakin Skywalker looks terrific, and I love that helmet for Klaatu!

It's Q&A time :classic:

There are some arealight customs I used, but another big supplier is Fineclonier who makes custom decals. I used to buy a lot there for various project, but ever since he quit sending doubles of each design, and I'm not a star in applying decals, I stopped buying these things. Couldn't bare it anymore to spend $2,50 on a decal at 1/4 stamp size and then completely £%@# up the application... Ever since Fineclonier no longer sends backup-decals I've gone for alternatives such as the beloved kitbashing.

Some of the arms come from little armory although that has also become less ever since LEGO switched from loudhailers to proper guns :-)

some very nice figs in there! Who's head have you used for Wuher?

Yes, that head is a great one isn't it? It's jackpot for all Wuher fans out there :wink: The minifig head is this one from the Lone Ranger license.

Garindan looks cool!

You make some of these yourself?

Errr... I made all of these myself?

The Garindan consists solely of LEGO parts; I'll make a picture this weekend to show how it's done :classic:

Excellent, thanks. Just got one from bricklink. Youre right, it is jackpot for Wuher :classic:

Wuher and Garindan really do it for me. I'm also a big fan of The Force Unleashed customs.

I'll definitely need to make a Wuher as I'm currently working with a second Cantina set to MOC it like another user has posted here. So a Wuher is definitely needed for that. If you don't mind me asking, what BrickLink part numbers are Wuher made from?

These are some awesome customs! Especially love that Robby! If you don't mind, do you have instructions for it?

But really they're all fantastic. Keep it up!
