SDCC Exclusive 12" Aayla Secura

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.

Now I may have to do this with mine. My biggest problem with this is just the body, the Og body especially the seams are just dreadful looking. And the size and proportions are just off

It really is too bad Sideshow doesn’t revisit characters like this.

They still haven’t made the Lando figure, and the Luke figure was atrocious

I don't blame them for not revisiting these characters. I wouldn't expect that they could get 2K-2.5K units sold honestly.

This is the S12D body, thanks!

That looks so much better. The body and coloring look great! If a better proportioned head ever became available it would be perfect but just repainting that sculpt to match the body would look even better.

Body looks soo much better. I need to pull this one out and recheck the head size to see if I should try to update.

Looks way better in that light. What paint is being used?
Anyone tried liquid dye?

I often thought about cutting the lekku/headdress off and attaching it to a different head. I wonder if that would work.

I was considering that as well, but it would definitely not be easy to do without damaging.

No you can't use that because it'll crack when posing. If you follow the link I posted a few posts back you'll find what to use. Oil pastels

I would think you’d be better off sculpting a pair, making a mold, and then cast them in silicone.

Obviously you need something that will permeate the silicone "pores" to deliver the pigment. I'm asking that instead of oil, could you use water and dye to submerge the body into to see if that dye will take. Not sure how the would crack, but I haven't done it, so.

I believe it's been done becore actually but I don't think I could find any pics.

There is a technique involving paint that might work, but be forewarned these dolls are creepy:

That’s probably a better idea. You could do real cloth on the headdress that way too.

Someone suggested leather dye a while back to me and I picked some up on eBay after that conversation. I haven’t tried it yet but I will soon.

Oil pastels on a Phicen/TBleague S20 body turned out pretty good. Just get one of the larger packs of Oil Pastels so you have different ranges of blue. For me it came out a pretty good match with the head and hands. Definitely improved the Figure 10 fold.

Oil Patel method worked perfectly! No fading

Looks good! Which oil pastel brand/color did you use?

I used hobby lobbys brand
