Is that the lightning that came with Hasbro's Ep. III Yoda?

No I made it. I got some wire and wraped it in hot gule. Once it cooled off I dyed it. That is my 2nd try. LOL I'll make a tutorial with pics this weekend and put it in the custom section. Since it has wire in it you can move it some what to give it a different look. I wish SS made it with the Emperor it would have been cool.

I MIGHT be interested... depends wholy on price, and how he looks.
how are you planning to do the boots?
If you've not yet decided, i suggest taking a look at the Hot toys assassins creed figure.

The Vancei, AFAIK, was free. He did an EXTREMELY limited number, and gave them to friends and colleagues. To my knowledge, they were never for sale.
Every now and then , one pops up for sale on a board, much like a certain Jack sparrow, in the neighborhood of 1200-1800 dollars. 90% of the time, they're scams. What drives the price is the CRAZY collector value of having something that is so very limited.
PROVIDED Kashan does an excellent job on EVERY detail of this guy, a year or two from now, these COULD command the same sort of price.
Looking at the work going in, and the parts list he's planning, I would Guestimate a sale price from him for these of a 150-300 Dollar range, depending on his initial cost to make them, PLUS time involved per figure.
150-180sih if the overall presentation is average. examples of average.
A passable headsculpt. Single tone paint on the face with minimal to no shading
simple costume. No lightsaber. I'll fitting boots/clothing/belts, etc.
180-250ish for an excellent job. putting him in the same category as hurricane or Les. Superb headsculpt. clothing fits well, Boots fit wonderfully, a lifelike multi-tonal paint-job on the head ( Get an airbrush if you don't already have one). a lightsaber, possibly two. ( one on, one off. possibly three, so you can have a sith version, and a jedi version. don't do detachable blades, they never really work right)
250-300ish or more - Above and beyond. Eyes have AMAZING lifelike detail, movement feature is simple, yet effective, and achieves realistic movement and placement. stays eaisly where placed. Costume fits as well as hot toys. perfectly tailored. Boots fit like they were made for him, modified where need be. Multiple lightsabers, both active and inactive. possibly even a lightsaber in disassembly. Some skin texture to the head, possibly even cast in flesh - resin to help achieve the most realistic effect. A VAST assortment of hands. Fists, gripping, Force gestures, relaxed, etc.
These prices might seem a little low for a custom, but his outfit is really very simple. you only start hitting problems when you start in on the shoulder armor, his belts and accessories. I'm not downplaying Kashan's talent, nor am i saying this is easy. I'm eager to see his work, and see how well it pans out .
the preceeding is merely my opinion as far as pricing goes, and i've no idea what kashan's going to charge.
