Recently I have made a ton of customs in my spare time (mostly just repaints), but I am too lazy to post em all right away, so I will do it a little bit at a time. Oh and sorry about the terrible quality my camera sucks... First, a group shot of all of em: Next, my best attempt at a Dark Trooper: Next, I call him Super Bossk and he destroys everyone. (seriously he took out my force push mace with the small missle, then he took three straight headshots from a Boba Fett (my strongest figure) from about six tix away or so and lived. So far, I havent really made any labels or changed any speeds or point values, but I probly wont cuz 1. I never play with point values and 2. Super Bossk is the only custom I play with and thats just to let people who are new to the game have a huge chance (last night I was playing in a 5 on 5 on 5 game and I gave S.B. to a kid who had never played before. He kinda destroyed my friend and I who have been playing since series 1....)

you made a kit fisto force blast and stiker. that is so predictable. Err...but it's frackin' nifty, all the same, to me. I always liked the concept of the Force blaster-striker combos. They might work even better than Captain America, if you could figure out a good way to lob a Force blast over your opponent's figure's head.

Well, let's see...
Dark Trooper - Looks interesting. Doesn't really match any of the actual Dark Trooper phases, but that doesn't make it any less of a good custom.
Jedi Knight - I like the black and green look. Typically, you would expect the black robe to be a Sith, but that green shirt makes it almost the exact opposite. I like this one a lot.
Injured Jedi - Uh... Honestly, a little weird, but very creative. How does using the Royal Guard as the weapon affect the figures balace, if I may ask?
Cin Drallig - It had me confused for a moment, I'll be honest, then I realized that it was the white-haired version from the game rather than the one with brown hair from the movie.
Mace - Interesting color used for the robe, is it a wipe or what?
Clone Commander - First thing that came to mind, honesty, was "It's Commander Keller without his robe". Even if it's not, it's still a nice custom. The world can always use more Attacktix Clones...
Super Bossk - Hm... is he really THAT effective?
Utapau - I may be wrong, but that looks like one... BIG... gun.
Repainted Clone Trooper - Ah, now this one is my flat-out favorite of them all. Despite being a Clone Trooper and not a Stormtrooper, it reminds me strongly of the Coruscant Guard's armor after Thire's Shock Troopers had been turned into that unit. My only real question is where's his weapon?
Royal Guard - Ah, I THINK I found the Clone Trooper's gun... You might want to go over it with a second coat of silver, there's a little too much red showing through.
Jet Pack Trooper - This would come in third place (after the Clone Trooper and Jedi Knight) among my favorites. Does the jet pack really work (I.E. string and everything) or is it just for looks?
Kit Fisto - It's a good custom, modification wise, but the wholly different colors of the Mace arm make it a little weird to look at.

Yeah Im not really done with them yet. Just wanted to post em cuz I was bored. Anyways thanks for the suggestions and comments. About some of em:
The Jedi Knight actually has a green coat, but you cant tell in the picture.
Injured Jedi: Yeah I cant use him in a game cuz only like a side head shot might work.
Utapau: Actually the gun is RIDICULOUSLY weak. He kinda fails.
Jet Pack Trooper: I did this before and it worked, but it fell apart, so I decided to try again. Sadly, I put too much glue on it and ti dripped down and glued the thing together so that the string wont extend....
Yeah overall, they all need more work which I will do over the next couple weeks and such....

Thanks and that reminds me that I wanted to put more pics of my newer customs. Doesn't help when I have a "friend" who discourages me by saying that my customs and almost everyone else's customs suck. (In case your wondering who you oughta have bumped off for that it was Copes who said it. And I'm only repeating this cuz I'm pretty mad at him now for various reasons.)
(In all truthfulness he didn't actually say they sucked but he did say that it was a waste of time posting any customs that aren't amazing (meaning we'd have about 4 customs posted) cuz he doesn't make customs so he doesn't appreciate the thought and effort put into some of them. Also, he doesn't realize that some people like to receive recognition from others for their work no matter how good or bad it is.) (And for the record I do think that all of the customs on this site are great, even the simple repaints (which I myself have made many of) because whoever made it (such as me) may have no artistic skill whatsoever, so repainting something and having it look nice may be a big feat for them (getting any of this Copes?). Also, I think that everyone on this site insult someone else for their custom ).
Anyways, thanks and more updates coming soons I get off my lazy butt or have a little less homework.

INTERNET FIIIIIGHT. Btw if your mad about Chipotle the conversation went like this.
Roy: I was texting [Jaws] about eating somewhere Me: How bout Chipotle? Roy: Yeah, we discussed that. Wanna go? Me: Shouldnt we wait for [Jaws] to get out of school? Roy: Nah, we never actually finalized anything.
Anyways not sure what triggered my involvement in this thread but...
Exaggerated. You'll notice the ones i hate are usually the ones that require little to no effort (switching guns really isn't difficult, nor is mounting an action figure on an attacktix base). I have somewhat made customs before, maybe you'll remember once when we stayed up til like 2 working on em in my dad's garage? Also, regarding what I think your last sentence is supposed to say, you pretty much can't criticize on here (even I, skeptic that I am, have never publicly shot down anyone else's customs), and criticism is often important.
