Star Wars Custom Of The Week: 3.75" TCW Obi-Wan Kenobi (Maul Mando Armor) By Elias

[Bespin refugee]

This week's custom is a 3.75" Clone Wars Obi-Wan Kenobi (Maul Mando Armor) by Elias>

"This is a 3.75” rendition of Obi-Wan in his Death Watch Disguise he stole from a Maul loyalist to rescue Duchess Satine Kryze from the custody of Darth Maul in The Lawless. This Obi-Wan was a commissioned piece I made for a client, so he unfortunately won’t be staying on our shelves, but making him was a pleasure nonetheless.

The majority of the figure was made with a Clone Wars Pre Vizsla action figure which I repainted to match the armor of the Maul Mandos. I was careful to replicate every detail as seen on screen, even down to the the silver chips in the armor and the maul markings on the helmet. I converted the Pre Vizsla helmet into an alternate head by filling it with hot glue and sticking it to the neck ball joint. I then waited for the glue to dry and gave the head a gentle twist which freed it, allowing for full range of movement. The lightsaber was simply an Obi-Wan lightsaber, and the jetpack was a repainted cast of the Clone Wars Aayla Secura action figure jetpack we got from Rebel Kid Creations. The peg on the jet pack surprisingly fit into the Pre Vizsla jet pack hole perfectly, so I didn’t have to modify the sculpt of the jet pack at all. The head is from a Clone Wars Season 4 Obi-Wan, and remained completely unmodified throughout the course of the project."
