Star Wars Action Figure Upgrades! The Vintage Collection Starkiller, Aurra Sing, & Anakin Skywalker

Now nothing says action figures like some dynamic posing, and superior articulation.
In today's video I share "a lot of special modifications I've made myself", that help a few of my favorite characters reach the proper “action figure” title.

You did everything Hasbro should've been thinking to do from the start. Hopefully they get the hint with some re-release 🤞🤞

[@ToysAreTheWay]

Thank you!!! For sure, fingers crossed they are able to make some of these happen. There's a lot to address in TVC, with all the new media dropping, but I definitely hope a few of these make it into our collections. ✨✌️😃✌️✨

[@dennislogan9836]

Yeah I'm telling you he should work for hasbro he certainly does know what he is doing better than hasbro itself they need more master jedi toy makers

[@TheLeatheryman]

Love your work and appreciate all the tips and ideas. I really enjoy the TCW Aurra Sing. So muchbsi I never bothered with the TVC, which is a rare thing for me with those lines.

[@ToysAreTheWay]

Thank you, and thanks for checking out the video. I'm really hoping we see a proper Aurra Sing someday, she's one of my favorite characters in the Clone Wars. ✨🤘😁🤘✨

[@lamarravery4094]

Great customs. Thank you for taking the time to share it with us.

[@ToysAreTheWay]

Thanks a bunch man! Happy to share and help inspire anyone looking to upgrade their figures ✨🤘😁🤘✨

[@_The_Worst_]

Welp, that was some interesting tinkering...🤘🏼💯✔️

[@ToysAreTheWay]

Thank you!! Glad you liked it! 😎✌️

[@TheCatWatches]

Wow! I thought I was onto something with the new Tusken Raider 4-pack barbell hips and customizing older figures… you just blew my mind with a plethora of new ideas. Thank you for this well-articulated and awesome video! xD

[@ToysAreTheWay]

Thank you!! Glad you like them! I'm definitely much happier with some of these upgrades, and they will serve me well until we can see some of these figures re-done or released in TVC ✨🤘😁🤘✨

[@butwhydoe4020]

Can you do anything to Hoth Luke’s shoulders? He only looks good hanging upside down. Thank you for adding way more content lately. We can all see the time and effort you put into your work and it does not go unnoticed. You make life more enjoyable, thanks Main.

[@ToysAreTheWay]

Thanks a ton man, I really appreciate your support! I always strive to bring creative, and high quality stuff for all of us to enjoy. Definitely been trying to bring more content and reviews as well, each and everyone you all are very much appreciated. ✨🤘😁🤘✨ Yeah I have been meaning to update that Luke, with the current better head sculpts, and the hat from the Hoth Trooper 4 packs. I saw this online and it looks so much better! Maybe those trooper arms would be a decent option for shoulder replacements?

[@conradpad5811]

Wow! I LOVE what you did with that Anakin! If they never release an updated one, I just may have to do that too!

[@ToysAreTheWay]

Thank you!! Fingers crossed Hasbro takes a chance and gives us some updated Anakin figures. But if they don't I highly recommend this custom! ✨👌😃✌️✨

[@annawhite1591]

most ppl think sabine helmet is same as bo katan and koska, but actually is the boba style@@ToysAreTheWay

[@floweralligator]

What are you thoughts on putting jedi training luke’s legs onto light cruiser luke? Worth the efforts?

[@annawhite1591]

i am workin on that right now, let you know how it goes,@@floweralligator

[@markrussell3414]

Excellent video on upgrades your figures keep collecting and may the force be with you all star wars fans the force is strong with this one toys are the way 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@ToysAreTheWay]

Thanks a bunch Mark! Glad you liked them and may the force be with you too! ✌️😎✌️

[@dennislogan9836]

You have really out done yourself with these modifications my hat is off to you you truly are a master jedi in this trade fantastic video

[@ToysAreTheWay]

Thanks so much man!! I try my best to update these the best I can! There are certainly some much more talented customizers, but I really appreciate it ✨😁😁✨

[@phillipapplecrisp6415]

I used attack of the clones anakins leges on the starkiller with some Blu tak. Great video on all the upgrades

[@ToysAreTheWay]

Oh sick! Yeah those legs are a great solution for a lot of customs! 🤘😁🤘

[@phillipapplecrisp6415]

@ToysAreTheWay that ball joint in starkiller waist was a pain in the butt to pull out lol. Still had to blue tak to make it rigid. Wish we had a better starkiller those legs are not fun

[@MCvzquez]

I need to do a Clone Wars Anakin like that one I swapped Sabine helmet with the Rogue One release, is not the exact same paint but it works enough to fit over her head so it can be removable

[@ToysAreTheWay]

Fingers crossed we see an updated CW or ROTS Anakin someday soon! 😁🤘 Nice that’s a great solution for the helmet.

[@NobodyHere44]

I need a Cad Bane figure with the rocket boots! i didn't get the figure because that feature was missing hasbro needs to make a few like this🔥🔥🔥

[@ToysAreTheWay]

Hopefully Hasbro will use the new Bane to get us those Clone Wars and Bad Batch looks! ✨👌😃✌️✨

[@MTB214]

You really took these up a notch!

[@ToysAreTheWay]

Thanks man! These characters deserve it! ✨✨✌️😎✌️✨✨

[@CENATIONwweSwagger]

Incredible!

[@ToysAreTheWay]

Thank you!! I truly appreciate it! ✨✌️😎✌️✨

[@Sparroh]

You speak the truth, great video!

[@ToysAreTheWay]

Thank you!! This is the way ✨😃✨

[@NoahR_]

Finally found a spare AOTC Anakin for cheap at Ross and did the mod for TCW Anakin. It opens up so many options for posing!

[@ToysAreTheWay]

Nice!! That's awesome to hear. It's certainly way more fun to pose and set up with this mod. ✌️😎✌️

[@annawhite1591]

know, meant to add about sabine, most ppl think she has same helmet as bo katan, but she has the same helmet as boba fett with custom eye piece

[@annawhite1591]

long shot lol but, hope they update both ahsoka, along with a rebels one, and gen obi wan and anakin,

[@DESHARN23]

Are they going to bust out into a starwars dance off?? Lop

[@ToysAreTheWay]

Haha next week at the Mos Eisley Cantina happy hour dance party. Zutton and Brainiac will be the judges. ✌️😂✌️

[@annawhite1591]

going be the person who gets damned- we might seen star killer in live action and missed it, there is one character who follows his path, found durin order 66, was goin get killed, trained to kill jedi, betrayed and stabbed in torso, ran to a jedi general for help (kinda), yep reva think about it and really compare it

[@annawhite1591]

have you had trouble takin the mandalorian troops apart?? one of my red ones, the ball turned into a noodle lol, and yes alot have a rubber piece over torse, believe how they gonna turn dark time vader into new hope vader, the piece of front is actually a soft rubber piece, can swap it out,, another fyi- dark times vader has the rotj helmet just glued onto his head

[@ThePhoenixrider89]

Have you done a kit bash of The mandolorian? I wanna have the hips from say book of boba fett and a better peg hole for the jet pack again like boba fett..... but dunno how to go about it.... i had an idea of cutting the awkward peg from mandos jet pack finding some way to fill in the huge hole in it the glue a magnet on it and then a magnet on mandos back

[@ToysAreTheWay]

I've seen some attempts at using the ball jointed hips from the Death Watch Mandalorians, but I have a feeling Hasbro is going to revisit Din and give us the "perfect" Mando figure sometime soon. At least I hope they do ✨👌😃✌️✨

[@ThePhoenixrider89]

@@ToysAreTheWay i hope so like if i ever wanna just play with the N1 id like a perfect mando to fit in the cickpit

[@annawhite1591]

surprised they or anyone else haven't made a order 66 darth maul,

[@alfredomartinez1222]

Yo hice lo mismo con mi starkiller

[@ToysAreTheWay]

Se ve mejor! 👌😎

[@StephenMurphy96]

Those are some cool modifications. It would be nice to get some of these characters again but I don't know if they will. Maybe Anakin and Cad since they have the means to do those characters. Honestly they dropped the ball by not having a special Force Unleashed wave this year for the 15th anniversary. New Starkiller, Evo Trooper and Jumptrooper would have been cool and if they really wanted to a new Maris Brood and Juno Eclipse but they'd likely just focus on repaint/retools for a special wave like they did the 2D Clone Wars wave. They've got the cardback name now. Why not use it? As for Cad and Aurra Cad would be easy for sure. I have all three of the original Clone Wars releases including the Pirate Speeder Bike one which while odd to have with him and not with like a Hondo or Ohnaka pirate I still thought was cool and it would be good for diorama displays. I had Clone Wars Aurra too with the badly painted antenna and would prefer having that Vintage one. Really I'm surprised releases like Fennec haven't been used to upgrade or release more of the female bounty hunter characters. Characters like Aurra and Zam would benefit from upgrades. Then you could put out characters like Drash from Book of Boba and Sugi and Rumi from The Clone Wars as to complete her crew since Embo and Seripas were already released in The Clone Wars line although I'm sure some people would want realistic versions of those characters and I'm lucky to have Embo in my stored away collection. Anyway I think that's it for now but knowing me I've forgotten some stuff. Looking forward to the next video.

[@ToysAreTheWay]

Yeah there's a bunch they can do for TFU, especially with the more definitive trooper molds that we have now! And hopefully we will see a new female officer sculpt soon that can get us Juno. I'm still hopeful that we will see an Aurra some day, she's just one of those very popular figures that would sell. They could also re paint her for the all black assassin look, getting more bang for their buck. I think Embo would do very well with a TVC release, the CW figure was pretty good, but I can only imagine how incredible that character would be with all the excellent articulation we are seeing these days. I would definitely pick up a few of him ✨✨✌️😎✌️✨✨

[@StephenMurphy96]

@@ToysAreTheWay Yeah for sure.

[@annawhite1591]

seller ended sale on helmet

[@carlobinda1127]

Those are some pretty cool custom figures! 😁👍 Time to bring out some pliers and random tools to make my own... 😬 JK

[@ToysAreTheWay]

Thank you so much!! Haha go for it, I fully support this decision! ✨🤘😁🤘✨

[@michaeltseng5656]

Where can you buy the white rotating display stand?

[@ToysAreTheWay]

There are quite a few options online and on amazon 😎

[@Bapple87]

Where did you buy the anakin action figure

[@ToysAreTheWay]

I got mine a while back from Big Bad Toy Store, and then later customized it with the AOTC Anakin, that I got off Amazon.

[@TSA0526]

Anakin’s seems so good! Was it easy it do??

[@ToysAreTheWay]

Yeah he's definitely a much better figure wit this modification. So it was 1 part easy, but also 1 part challenging. Taking them apart and just having the AOTC legs instead of heavily adjusting something else is the easy part. But I did have to shave the peg to be slightly shorter and less bulky, and then heat up his torso in hot water multiple times and apply a lot of force to push the two parts together until they were flush. It was definitely the most challenging experience I've had doing that to a figure, maybe an hours more of work. ✨✨✌️😎✌️✨✨

[@sage1336]

I loved Star Wars as a kid but even then I hated the fact they wud re package Darth Vader & stormtroopers etc. when other & new figures improved that old Darth Vader seem skinny & lame !!

[@ToysAreTheWay]

Yeah it's always good to keep those main characters updated when compared to other characters moving forward. Both Vader and Stormies need to be definitive ✨👌😃✌️✨

[@MichaelHeffner-ky6pc]

Does anyone know why Aura Singg has a drinking straw sticking out of her head?

[@ToysAreTheWay]

Maybe for easy Jawa juice or blue milk consumption? ✌️😂

[@montellow]

I think it's a body mod. She used it in the clone wars as an antenna to contact bossk. Ahsoka cut it off in an episode, and Aura didn't react in pain.

[@debrajohnson9008]

The 2nd star killer looks terrible but good try

[@ToysAreTheWay]

Everything and anything could be better! Do you have any suggestions? Have you ever made a custom one yourself?? 😎

[@annawhite1591]

just wish they repack starkiller altogether honestly
