Thanks, guys. Yeah, xantos, I made it from an Elektra. Funny - Hasbro slaps an Imp-Officer head on a DS Gunner and calls it an Imperial Cadet; I slap a different set of arms on an Elektra, give it a haircut and call it Aayla Secura... Makes me wonder why, if we as customizers can create some of these figures, Hasbro can't..... Not counting Mate, who is up to be redone, there's only two characters from Last Knight of the Sith that I haven't finished yet - the smuggler and the Admiral... well, only one now: I've finished Imperial Admiral Vesney RedalAdmiral of the Star Destroyer fleet that has Naboo blockaded from the rest of the galaxy (My explanation as to why it's never mentioned in the Original Trilogy) who is there officially by the Emperor's command, almost constantly in conflict with Johus Orden. Redal is a true believer in Palpatine's New Order, as highly rated in his loyalty as Grand Moff Tarken or Grand Admiral Thrawn, firmly believing that any being other than human is less than human. In fact, Redal's promotion to Admiral came from his acceptance and loyalty to Palpatine in the waning days of the Old Republic, when he supported Palpatine's transition from Chancellor to Emperor. Admiral Redal has no qualms about ordering bombardments of Gungan cities and Wookiee encampments to enforce his authority over the Naboo system... Unknown to him, the crews of the ships under his command are rapidly becoming disenfranchised with Redal's wholesale disregard for life; even other hardcore Imperials in the blockade fleet find his willingness to ravage parts of the planet disconcerting... Redal wasn't that hard to create, parts wise... the hard part was finding the right color paint to match the arms to the rest of the figure. Head: SVT Luke Arms: SW(3) Rebel Trooper Torso/Legs: SW(4) Tarkin.

During the events of "Inferno", Jason Macendale/Hobgoblin became bonded with a demon to become more powerful. Eventually, Macendale and the demon were seperated, Macendale remaining the Hobgoblin and the demon becoming the DemogoblinDemogoblin was a member of a group of demons known as the 'Rightous', demons seeking to atone for their own evil by punishing those who commit evil. Demogoblin was as merciless in his quest to punish 'sinners' as Punisher is in his own quest, yet Demogoblin sees all except children as sinners... Near what would become his end, though, he actually began to seek forgiveness for wrongs he had done, even from someone who wanted to (and in the end, would) kill him - Jason Macendale/the Hobgoblin. Demogoblin died saving a mother and her children from a pillar that Hobgoblin had caused to collapse... Custom-wise, Demogoblin is a repainted M21 Green Goblin, though I've yet to succeed in making a good cloak for him, plus I didn't add in all the holes and tears in his outfit, so it's not exactly like the character's shown in the comics. Part/Paint Breakdown: Figure; M21 Green Goblin head - Neutral Grey for the skin, True Blue Pearl for the hat, the eyes are Chevy Engine Red, with Light Grey for the teeth. torso - True Blue Pearl with a custom mixed 'grape purple' for the bag strap. Arms: True Blue Pearl for the sleeves and Neutral Grey for the skin. Legs: True Blue Pearl for the outfit legs, Citadel Blazing Orange for the boots, custom 'grape purple' for the bag and Light Grey for the belt. glider: Chevy Engine Red, Citadel Bad Moon Yellow, and Light Grey.

Redal is an Original Character...
As for Demogoblin, you can look him up on Wikipedia.

Today's update is actually a little special. Instead of just showing you the final version, I plan to give you a tour of the evolution of a figure from 3-3/4 in. first version to final Attacktix design. Players and customizers, the evolution of Charger, agent of S.W.O.R.D.! The 3-3/4 in. SWORD figures were made using G.I. Joes, with a far more para-military look than the more recently made Attacktix figures. Back then, Charger wore the standard green and black SWORD jumpsuit with grey and red padding and a hood with protective lenses. For weapons, he carried two Yoda lightsabers to simulate a pair of iron bars that he had 'charged' with psionic energy. The first Attacktix version of Charger used a spare SVT Luke that was laying around and had the twin bars replaced with one longer bar that would've been made from Luke's lightsaber. The big problem with this version is that the figure didn't fit the character, so in the end I made like Marvin The Martian and went back to the drawing board. The reason I didn't use the Ghost Rider figure at first was because when I was taking it apart (originally planned to use it for a different member of SWORD) the torso didn't want to seperate properly and ended up with gaping holes in the shoulders. Recently however, I had bought some Squadron putty, so I turned to that to fix the torso into a usable state again. The baton that had been removed from my Aayla Secura custom was attached to the other side of a second Royal Guard hand to form a long iron bar/staff - I originally intended to paint it a green color to be charged, but decided in the end that it looked fine as it was. If you look at the pictures of the back of Charger's vest, you might remember that some time back there was talk about custom Warriors Attacktix - well, he's not Cleon, Ajax, Swan or anyone, but since I was playing the game for PS2 when I was working on Charger, I made him a member of the Warriors for fun. Gameplay-wise, Charger's staff takes some practice to use, but since you can strike with either end, when you get used to it he can be a powerful figure, and the Vengence special both fits the character and makes him a danger to attack. Unfortunately, I don't have a full bio written up for him yet. Maybe later, though. Part/Paint Breakdown (final version) Head: M17 Gambit Right Arm: Abigor, sleeve trimmed, painted Olive Drab with Flat Black glove. Left Arm: SW(4)05 Royal Guard w/staff from a second Royal Guard. Painted Olive Drab with Flat Black glove and Skin Tone Base for fingerless look. Torso: GR04 Ghost Rider, shirt painted Olive Drab, vest painted Leather with Warriors design painted in Chevy Engine Red, Light Grey, and Pactra Basic Yellow, chain painted Gunmetal Legs: Chain painted Gunmetal, Vest painted Leather, jeans painted with True Blue Pearl.

Dude, Charger looks amazing! He is also one of my favorites that you've made. When I first saw Gambit, one of my first thoughts was,"Someone will probably make a custom with that staff". Good job!

Yet, some more great customs made by Master Customsman Turbomagnus! Gideon Nah, if anyone deserves the title Master Customizer, it's dvandom. Not only are his customs often better and cleaner than mine, but I probably wouldn't be into Attacktix, much less customizing them, if not for him.
