Those are VERY good customs.

I hope SSC can figure out a way to do the real fur thing on Chewie and figures like this if they ever get around to them.

 

[TheObsoleteMan]

That taun-taun is rad.

 

[The Josh]

Those are pretty impressive.

 

[Coorectghosting]

I want a Wampa more than Chewbacca!

 

[jedibear]

Those are both pretty damned cool!

Looks like he just alterted the Hasbro versions. Thined out the Wampa, perhaps a new body as well. He just added fur to the Taun Taun. Looks good, but nowhere near the price he wants. Just go to Wal-Mart and get some fake fur for under $5 and do it yourself. The Wampa is a bit more impressive to me at least.

Real hair never looks good.

This is the seller I bought my Chewie from. He does a fantastic job at furring. I'm very happy with what I got from him and I can't imagine having a 1:6 Chewbacca that doesn't have real fur. The only thing I really would like to see him do is thin the head a bit and add some more articulation.

The wampa sure is tempting but he isn't that high on my want list.

When you get tired of that beauty can I have it? FREAK that is the most incredible custom, no matter how many times I see it. Someday . . .

how the hell do people make this stuff?!? i can see sculpting custom heads but making these figures with real fur and stuff is insane. they look so f@#*ing accurate too. not toy or doll like. they should be working with real toy companies.

These kinds of things usually don't translate well into large-scale production, so I doubt their skills would be of much use to toy companies.

The wampa looks pretty good, but I'm not so sure about the Taun-Taun. The Hasbro Taun-Taun is actually pretty impressive to start with, and he's basically just added the real fur to it and done a little repainting.

 

[The Josh]

If you don't mind me asking how much did Chewie cost? You can PM me if you want.

 

[galactiboy]

Thats a pretty impressive looking Wampa, although I've always liked this Hasbro Upgrade shown on RS:

I agree. this is an incredible custom figure and even more impressive in person. I know some have made the comment that real fur just doesn't look right but after getting this I wholeheartedly disagree.

I said it before, this is not a perfect Chewie but Mark is just a few tweaks away from it with what he's doing.

His choice of material, color, layering technique and the added ease of being able to style his fur with a misting of water is perfect. Once he figures out how to add some needed articulation to the hips, elbows and neck and make the head a bit more slender then he'll have the perfect Chewie.

I actually think the Tauntaun looks really good, better than the wampa. A better paint job on the face is all it needs; I think the fur looks much better than the plastic on the original Hasbro.

 

[Cocoboloboy]

That Tauntaun is really starting to look good dangit. Must...resist...

I'd love to see it in person. I like how he put frost on the fur too.

 

[Anzik]

The Hasbro has good detail in the sculpted areas but the wire body stinks and he's too short.

 

[Cocoboloboy]

This is the money shot right here:



I love that picture in the snow. Looks like a movie prop.

I was going to try and find a regular Hasbro Taun Taun and repaint it but after seeing this I may not be satisfied. Mark really did do a nice job on this.

 

[icruise]

I'm just getting a vibe from that Tauntaun that it might not look so good in person. I could be wrong.

In any case, I really like the Hasbro Tauntaun that it's based on. I have two of them that I got very cheaply on ebay.
