Make sure that vapor doesn’t get your eyes, it stings bad and I’ve resorted to wearing poor goggles doc ock style to protect my eyes when using those times of glue.

[@OutOfTheBasement]

Great video Luke! I really loved how simple and easy these all looked. We actually had the same exact idea for the Luke and Han on the 2020 stormy. So simple and easy and looks 1000x better. I’m down for more customizing content like this, it’s super useful and makes it not seem so scary! -Nate

[@restock_1731]

I'm actually in the process of painting a "Fordo" figure right now. Lol. I haven't kit bashed any figures yet, but now that I see the process, it doesn't seem that much of a pain. Luke, your channel has legit everything. Awesome. 👍

[@gutter1361]

I've shown my friends your video and it make them want to custom more hahaha great video as always my friend.

[@manamedia]

Amazing!! Thank you so much for producing. Have subscribed.

[@littlegido787]

Absolutely great vid I’ve been wanting to start doing customs so thx and maybe make more custom tutorials

[@willbeaty6892]

I've been customizing Marvel/SW/DC toys since the 90s, and I can genuinely say I learned about new techniques and products in this video! But that's always the case with kitbashing! My brain jumps to sculpting and painting, when I should be figuring out the jigsaw puzzle pieces.

[@LandspeederLuke]

That’s a huge compliment!!

[@andrewrash1931]

Love seeing the ideas you come up with for East customs!

[@LandspeederLuke]

Thanks! There’s soooo many more you can do

[@CaptainRex567]

Awesome video . Helps out a ton!!!😁

[@lucaf5970]

With custom I like to use hot glue with the head because if the head socket is to big the hot glue makes a new one and the hot glue can come out if u don’t want it anymore it worked when I made my custom mandolorian

[@infernal27]

Eventually I’ll get to do these! Great video as always

[@SergioFloresHunts]

I just realized with the greedo body you can make a cloud pilot easily just small modifications but great work!!

[@michelalano]

Nice video! I’ve ruined plenty of wrist and elbow joints. I was wondering if you had considered making replacement joint pieces with the 3D printer. Someone of your skill level should make quick work of it. The joints are a different kind of stiffer plastic so a rigid resin or PLA print might work well. I’ve thought about tackling this myself but haven’t gotten around to it yet.

[@GenX_Brian]

🤯 great tutorial 👍🏻

[@RandomStuffGarage619]

I need to get some black tack. I have the single pack MCU red guardian head on a han solo trooper body as a self custom. The head is really loose on the trooper neck ball. Great tip, thanks!

[@clearymc]

I’ve been doing this recently, made general Lando into general solo and general Antilles. Thanks for the video!

[@dillonjones2929]

Do you have an Instagram or a video where we can see these customs?

[@sk0ut899]

Please make this a series as kit bashing black series with gi joe and marvel legends is the best way to make quick easy customs

[@LandspeederLuke]

That could be fun too!

[@LukaVILLONistarwarsblackseries]

Great Man

[@adumbs_customs]

Wouldn’t it have been better to heat up Greedo elbow deep so the peg hole would’ve softened up too? Also I highly recommend getting threadless needle nose pliers. Might cause extra damage!

[@LandspeederLuke]

Thanks for the tip!! I didn’t even know those existed.

[@LandspeederLuke]

and yes I probably should’ve gone a little higher up the arms with the heat

[@coolcats4summer82]

Love the video! I plan on making that Hoth Rodian sometime! My favorite kit-bash I’ve made so far is Snowspeeder Wedge using Snowspeeder Luke with an X-Wing Wedge. Super easy and affordable. Plus, if you have an extra head, you can make an extra X-wing pilot also 👍 Your channel is killing it! Keep it up!

[@cerethpainting6606]

Really enjoying your videos. They have gotten me back into customizing. I’ve painted heads for a while. Keep up the great work!

[@Jacobflamecaster]

I really want hasbro to release a Luke and leia based on the iconic Star Wars poster where their designs are slightly different with the clothes showing more skin with leia having a cape and her dress is redesigned to look completely different other then the colour and belt and Luke being jacked

[@rebelines]

I went ahead and used the neck joint from Yavin Luke instead of the black stormtrooper joint and it worked pretty well. You might have to chip away a little bit of the bottom ball joint to fit into the stormtrooper neck hole, but in the end you won’t even notice it.

[@luc.hammond]

You can make a biggest ball for the head with hot glue with pistol : you have just to put some vaseline on the ball (for the articulation later) and put some hot glue in head, and put it on the body to let dry 15 minutes. A new ball is created for the larger head articulation :-)

[@theperceptor9287]

Hello Luke, thank you for sharing your experience with customization skills. I'm sure it will help many customizers to achieve better results with their figures. I might even give this a try if I can afford to get some extra figures down the line. I'm sure we all appreciate your help in this field. Your friend Tom

[@praetor3867]

Did the Greedo swap with a Archive Obi Wan! Made a great Jedi!

[@Andrewnuva199]

Been looking to do this myself but unfortunate that the greedo hand joint pegs aren't an easy pull-out based on this video. May have to be more careful for the chance of preserving hand articulation.

[@jonathanhampshire6856]

I like the head swaps. J Jonah Jameson was born to be an Imp officer. Could I suggest just drilling a little more space in the Han and Luke Heads. Then smothering the pegs with vaseline. Use a hot glue gun to fill the head socket, and squish it on. The vaseline should keep the head mobile on the peg. Hope that's helpful. Thanks for the vid.👍

[@thatsketchyprofessor9575]

I've been making myself a little list while doing kit bashes like this for the neck pieces. I have a container full of dumb bell joints LOL. And necks for this exact reason right here. Took a lot of trial and error on my part but now I feel that once I see the neck and the joint I can figure out which ball joint or neck I'll end up replacing it with. But I find the snow speeder Luke figure and Clone wars Obi wan have good shorter pegs to get the head closer to the neck. I watch A LOT of your videos and find you give me a lot of ideas for most of my kitbashing. I love your patreon with all the dio pieces too. Gonna have to get me some corner pieces and crates,,, Ever thought of getting into making animals and random creatures? I'm trying to find a big enough toy lizard to re purpose into a varactyle. I love this scale so much. I wish I had gotten into this a year or two earlier because there's so many little sets I'll never get under 300 now had I started this a bit earlier. lol. Oh well... it is what it is.. Better late than never though.

[@connorchen8060]

This is awesome, bro! Hope we could see more tutorials like this.

[@Yassermalik.]

i really want to see someone make a custom bespin lando calrissian cape

[@SxeSam69]

Working on my first custom figure(Gar Saxon from Rebels) and this video was a real life saver🙏 keep up the great work!

[@lucaf5970]

Also I love ur video I non stopped watched them for the past few days love what ur doing

[@marin4767]

Imagine this video in the toy story universe

[@RandomStuffGarage619]

Bob Smith Industries medium CA is a good alternative if you can't find zap. I seriously glued my finger back together after a kitchen mishap. And the instant dry "kicker" spray smells like cherries!

[@kenmercadante4565]

I've kit-bashed a couple of figures, and hope to do some more in the future. Great info, thanks for the video!

[@fnl4eva269]

Tip use paper towel when using that to pull the neck wont damage just make sure dry paper towel.

[@erickristenson7113]

Really good stuff here. I've just recently been getting into swapping parts. Going to try some droid parts on humanoid figures this weekend. Also, I need to go through your videos, not sure how I missed this one

[@mrhumanspider]

Can you show to us next how will looks jonah jameson from no way home with hair on? That will be so a useful tutorial for people who want a jameson with hair! What do you think ?

[@mrprice7500]

I use a blow dryer. Temperature remains consistent.

[@Nanocon1]

Clone Wars Wullf Yularen out of Rampart(Body) and Antoc Merrick head.

[@ericmelendez1464]

hi Luke ,like your custums. just FYI. If you are interested in removing your clone head sculpts from their helmets, after placing them in boiling water you can put a few drops of peppermint essential oils, let it soak in, It seems to break up the glue thats used without damaging the head sculpt!

[@AnhBui-pd3ys]

i suggest using a electric tea keattle to boil the water instead of microwaving it. There's a chance microwaved water can explode on you if overheated. It's not very pleasant, speaking from experience.

[@tpickup11]

I would've just done the hot glue head joint and kept the wrist pegs and just insert them back into the hands, but that's just me.

[@LandspeederLuke]

That was the plan but I messed it up

[@suddskys7482]

I just got marvel legends skrull queen. And that amazing alien head is going to be a custom made star wars figure. Unfortunately I sold the lady deathstrike. That would be an awesome female alien jedi

[@grumpyirish9627]

Fantastic! Where did you pick up your parts organization drawers?

[@LandspeederLuke]

Container store

[@juliagarcia4968]

Anyone knows if the trooper neck fits on the plo koon/windu bodymold or any black or white neck piece that fits

[@McMartensen]

Amazing job! Where did you get that Steve Austin head? 🤩

[@LandspeederLuke]

eBay!

[@Jrenepp]

Where You bought yout bases for figs

[@xxmiltxx9037]

Ventress with a second or 3rd sister body?

[@actionjack7655]

Did I see you do a Ponda Baba head swap on the client body? I can’t find evidence of that anywhere but I coulda swore I saw you do it

[@LandspeederLuke]

I think I shared someone elses post but I’m not sure. I didn’t make one

[@actionjack7655]

@@LandspeederLuke appreciate the reply , still havent tracked it down but i just made my first custom using a cad bane figure i got with no arms lol , i used kylo ren arms and then just the clients jacket overlay and it looks sweet as a cantina alien

[@Djkold]

I've done a few of these kinds of customs. I'm not good at painting or sculpting - that I know of anyway. It would be so great if Hasbro would make a "diversity" pack of faces, hands, helmets, masks, etc.

[@thefatman69dude]

Wear gloves and some safety goggles bro. That vapor is no good for your eyes. And you dont want that shit touching your skin. Get some gloves at like autozone for dirt cheap. They sell skin tight rubber gloves for working with oil.

[@TheDuke013]

These characters need to stop charging clothes so much, it is costing more to keep up. Maybe his species gets lighter as they get older.
