I've been looking all over KZbin for a good Grogu modification tutorial, and this is by far the best one of all! You just need to paint him and add hair now!

[@MakeItorBreakItNow]

[@Owenthekingizback]

By far the best

Take it next step, nothing to loose. I think its so worthed to make your own creation and realism in this doll. I think it betters in my opinion if head and hands are matching and very original also. Well done

Golden Collection, thanks for your comment. Thinking now of how I'm going take Grogu to the next step.

[@kevcook]

What a improvement, he looks awesome Great job.

[@MissKikkiKat]

Brilliant! For the hands, give Mr Super Clear a go. Test in an unobtrusive place for hold, then, if it works, spray the hands and face, allow to dry, and then use either paint or soft chalk pastels. You'll need to spray MSC between layers. I am going to have to mod my wee baby Grogu using your ideas! Thanks so much!

Hey Bro!, That's good work man, I got a Child of my own for Christmas and I'm thinking of doing the same, I love him so much, he's so cute and baby looking (we all owe some thanks to all the guys that understand Star War fan, like Mr. Favreau and the guys at Lucas films) that I didn't have the Heart to modify him, but watching this vid, you have convinced me to upgrade him too, oh, and yes you should weather him up . . to make him more lively. Good work . .Blessings Bro! . .

[@SandraOrtmann1976]

What a fantastic mod! I will try something similar, but with a reborn body and 3D-printed feet. I am thinking about using a Gorilla tripod or a teddybear skeleton for his bones. Oh, and of course he needs his control knob (I know that a pingpong ball has the required size. But I like your idea much better, it is much more sturdy). And I will be very careful to not tighten the zipties to their limits (I have the same problem with my original Baby Yoda - zero movement).

[@rogerrabt]

Do you think you'll put the STL files for the feet up somewhere? They'd be fun!

[@SandraOrtmann1976]

I will put them thingiverse. Hopefully, that is okay, as I know that several of 3D-printed Grogu feet are sold on etsy. But as these are unlicensed products, I should be fine for putting up a free file. Hope they won't sue me or something...you have to be careful with that these days.

[@misssara7914]

Would love to know how it turned out! Is he able to sit and stand?

[@SandraOrtmann1976]

@@misssara7914 Sitting is no problem, but you really have to balance him to be able to stand. His feet are somewhat uneven, but that is fine with me. Also, I managed to put way too much hair on his head. I guess I will thin them out a bit in the future...although he really looks cute with a bit more of fine, white hair.
