Hi!
My name is Doug. I'm from Idaho. I've dabbled a bit in collecting Sideshow/Hot Toys, but have started getting more serious about it. I've also dabbled in customizing. I started by trying to improve some 12" Hasbro figures - with varying degrees of success (stupid short Hasbro arms). Now I've moved over more to SSC/Hot Toys (I have the TFA Han and Luke on pre-order). Here are a few pics of some of my collection:
Custom TPM Obi-Wan. All Hasbro on a knock-off narrow-shoulder body with a SSC Head from Toy Anxiety.
Custom Mara Jade. A gift for my wife - she was costuming as Mara when we met in the 501st Legion:
Custom Luke in Stormtrooper (WIP). Hasbro from the neck down (with some work on the armor fit), Sideshow head (I repainted the hair)
Grand Moff Tarkin (WIP). Hasbro head that I'm repainting (I'm learning) on a knock-off narrow-shoulder body. Hasbro clothes, Sideshow Han boots.
SSC Bespin Han (purchased with a repainted head), Hasbro Hoth Leia (added paint details by me, replaced her hands), SSC Bespin Luke. I sure wish SSC or Hot Toys would do a Hoth Leia!
Custom Han (Hasbro clothes, SSC holster/boots, knock-off headsculpt), SSC Leia, Custom Luke (Hasbro clothes, Hot Toys boots, SSC Belt, SSC X-Wing Luke body, knock-off ebay headsculpt). I've since upgraded the Han with a real SSC body and head, custom gauntlets to hide the short coat sleeves.
SSC Luke Jedi. Just got this guy in yesterday from ebay.

Hoth Han. Hasbro clothes, SSC holster/blaster/body/head:
