Where to get a good custom Ki-Ai Mundi?

[Dennimator]

I´ve seen this pic many times before, both on EB and other places:

As I would love to have one of these, I´m wondering; where can I get one? Of course I realize it´s a custom, but who is making them? Is he selling them on eBay/BrickLink etc.?

Thanks.

An ebay seller named christo7108 sells a lot of custom Star Wars figures, and some times also Ki-Adi-Mundi's, which are even better than your refrence pic.

Good luck at finding one.

Well, if you want my Cheapo's Ki-Adi, which is sufficient, it's here:(Link)

It's pretty old, and the pictures are bad but the product is good when you have it. Here's a reference pic:

EDIT: Don't mind the dent in the head. It was by accident and I fixed it now. If you want a better, new picture I can give you one.

Thanks, although that head looks a little too tall. However, if I can´t find one of the other Ki-Adi Mundis to a fairly reasonable price, I´ll probably go with this one. It´s definately better than a cone piece!

i'd get a Ki-Adi Mundi... for a cheap price. Other than that, I don't have much. My most recent Ki-Adi MOC consists of a yellow head with a small beard, and one of those cone pieces from the Dino Attack tank.

Wait... is that the same cone piece used on the engines of Ani's pod racer? Or at least a tan version of it?

There are no cone pieces used in my custom, just two stacked heads. He was referring to how this was a better alternative than a cone piece, commonly used.

Or you can use mine.

He has Kit Fisto's torso, Patricks head turned around(remove printing), and a standard flesh smiley.

I just found this guy and I hope he comes back, those minifigs look fantastic. If they're not too expensive, I'll prob pick up a few new Jedi.

The Shaak-ti is great. I'm still annoyed they haven't made a proper mini-fig of here, or even used her in the CW series yet.

She's one of my favourite characters, and she's about the only main Jedi character that hasn't made an apppearence yet.

[Bricklanta]

The Quinlan Vos custom is the best in my opinion.

I bet they're really expensive though.

Honestly, it depends... He usually sell them through auctions, and I've seen several going for expensive amounts, other ones at a really good price... He's also not opposed to "direct orders" if you contact him... I know it for sure, I equiped a full Endor/Jungle rebel squad of 15 minifigs for a pretty good price... Along many other orders I made. YES, I'm a deep fan of him...

[RileyC]

those are some pretty good customs though I dont buy customs myself because they arent official lego. That may sound strange to some people

No I agree with you. I think that there is room for everybody, from purists to customizers... I'm half of each. I don't like using sharpies, or paying huge amounts for a "decal" minifig that is not permanent... Or seeing weird things like minifigs with Hasbro heads ... Hopefully, we have some good customizers like Christo, Arealight, Kaminoan, Brickforge and so,... which can provide my large needs-of-new-things

The only thing I do sometimes is modifying some Lego pieces using Brasso... You can have pretty good results doing that...

[The Legonater]

Really? I only see one head... I was actually reffering to the same piece they use on LEGO.com lego Universe 'buildin thingy', the piece they have the pictures in.

[KimT]

Sounds more like a BSTF question.

It's been throughly answered here and now I'll move it there.

(See? I can rhyme)

According too the preliminary pic of the Clone Turbo tank coming out next year, she's in the set.

Anyways, I've seen that Ki-Ai-Mundi before, and I've always wondered how he makes the head. Does he make it from scratch, or does he add to a regular head?

[The Legonater]

According too the preliminary pic of the Clone Turbo tank coming out next year, she's in the set.

No, Aayla Secura's with ther Turbo Tank. Shaak Ti is yet to come.

That Coleman Trebor minifig looks great! as do the others! especialy shaak ti, Aayla Secura and the rebel soldirs :)

Yes, me too. Buying form Arealight, Brickforge, Kaminoan and Christo is something I would do, if not to expensive.

Ontopic: I think buying a Ki-Adi-Mundi from Christo is the best solution, if you are prepared to spent some money.

[Dennimator]

Thank you guys.

I´ll keep an eye open, and hope that he´ll sell more figs soon.

[The Legonater]

That Coleman Trebor minifig looks great!

Yeah, he was my fav guy from Attack of the C lones. It's way too bad he died...

It's clear that some of these are based off the Lego Str Wars games.
