Thinking about picking one of these up and doing a phicen body custom.

how will you go about making the skin blue with out it coming off with any posing?

There was a group of collectors who experimented many different methods and they finally got it down. You'll have to scroll down a few posts if you're interested but here's the link to how i'm gonna do it.

Looks awesome. Yeah I just got into the Clone Wars TV series, bit late to the party I know, but I love it. Just started off my Star Wars collection with Anakin, Commander Wolffe, and Secura. I'm gonna attempt to upgrade the Secura to phicen when it arrives tomorrow. I'll post pics if it turns out not to be a complete disaster lol

Really interested in seeing how the phicen swap turns out. This is a figure that was not done great justice but cheers to ss for offering it back then cause she ain’t never gonna show up again. Having the opportunity to modernize here is exciting.

Mines were the same. I used a hairdryer to soften the paint at the base of the neck and it helped greatly.

So here's the end result. I think it turned out pretty good. Only thing that's slightly off is that the head is a slightly different shade of blue than the color I used for the body, but under my display lighting it isn't very noticeable. Overall I dig it, think it looks pretty awesome, and is a heck of a lot better than the body it came with.

Valiant effort. It looks a lot better, but that head is a little oversized. Could paint it up to look like the body though. Why one SS hand and one Phicen hand?

 

[Stryker2011]

Not bad, PatrioticBat. If you’re so inclined you can keep adding layers of color if you wanted to get a closer match to the head sculpt. That’s how Ephiane was able to get that dark green on that custom Ogre that she did.

 

[PatrioticBat]

Yeah the head they made for this figure always was too big, especially for the even smaller stock body lol. I probably will continue to add more layers to darken it a bit more, these photos are only after one. I used the phicen hand on the bare arm because it's less of a noticable shift in skin color than the sleeved arm. Thanks all!

Looking good. What Phicen body model did you use?

 

[PatrioticBat]

This is the S12D body, thanks!

Nice job PatrioticBat The head doesn't look oversized in that last photo at all. I've had Aayla since she first came out and have wanted to do a body swap for a long time so thanks for the link. Yes the clone wars cartoon is probably my favorite Star Wars media after the OT.

 

[PatrioticBat]

Currently in Season 4, show is awesome. Glad it got renewed for a 7th season. But yeah no problem, I wish I could say i've had her since release lol (heard she retailed for like $70 at the time) but I had to pay those dreadful Ebay prices.
