TCW Duchess Satine Kryze By Elias (Customs For The Kid)


"What better way to celebrate our 14th Anniversary as bloggers than by making that special figure for yourself that you have always wanted? Fourteen years ago, I was a six-year-old kid asking my dad to make custom action figures with me and on this very day our customs are appearing in the "Evolution of Toy Collecting" Panel at San Diego Comic-Con 2024. What a journey! Today, I finished creating the action figure that my dad and I have dreamed of making since Duchess Satine Kryze of Mandalore debuted in 2010..."

[head sculpt by Aude's Workshop]

"...To make this figure of Duchess Satine Kyryze, I used a Clone Wars Asajj Ventress as my base. I took the elbows, forearms, and boots from a Clone Wars Adventure Padme, and replaced them on Ventress. I then used my Dremel's Nylon brush to strip all details and forms away from the base figure. To sculpt her upper body, I used a mixture of Green Stuff and Procreate, and left her lower body untouched so that the dress would rest on her legs correctly.

Making her dress out of real fabric was one of the bigger technical hurdles. I knew from the moment I decided to make Satine that I wanted her to have a dress made of real fabric. If she couldn't sit in the Mandalorian throne, what was the point of making it?

So, I had to come up with a strategy. The form of her dress resembles some kind of flower, belling out at the hips, tapering at the ankle, and then opening like the petals of a petunia. I devised a pattern for the innermost layer, which would consist of six identical panels. I assembled it, pulled it over her, and then got started on the outer layer. This layer would create the bell form, so I patterned a single piece of the dark blue fabric, cut some darts into it so it would form around her correctly, and affixed it to the under dress. To get the end of her under dress to be shaped like flower petals, I had to thread a crafting wire through the hem and position it how I wanted. After the two main forms were constructed, I added in the other pieces of fabric and painted the dress as needed. The purple scale-like details on her dress were sculpted out of Procreate and glued in place. After a few days of painting, Satine was ready for photos!

About a month ago, my father and I were discussing the photoshoot, and what kind of pictures we wanted for today's celebration. Since I went through all the trouble of making a soft goods dress, he suggested that I try to get a Mandalorian throne to pose her on. We immediately recalled the Mandalorian throne room display produced by Cardboard Galaxy and both agreed it would be perfect for our figures debut. Unfortunately, the Mandalorian throne room he made wasn't available for sale on his eBay page anymore. Thankfully, Bob from Cardboard Galaxy went out of his way to get one made for us, and we are immensely grateful.

We want to thank Aude's Workshop and Cardboard Galaxy for making this project possible. The kindness of our community of artists never fails to inspire me. We hope you all enjoy our execution of the Duchess Satine Kryze, and happy 14th anniversary of "Customs for the Kid!""

Lando Calrissian (Star Wars Rebels)painted byElias (Customs For The Kid)"We recently received the HasLab - Ghost on our front step, and ever since, Star Wars Rebels has been on our minds. The Star Wars Rebels 3.75 inch offerings were slim, so weve been doing our best to fill the collection out. Our friend Angry Raccoon Miniatures created a beautiful Lando Calrissian sculpt and were big Lando fans, so we needed to have him represented on our shelf.Dad took advantage of the holiday weekend and helped me out with creating a post for the blog. Dad purchased this model a while back with hopes of adding it to my shelf, but a busy work schedule prevented him from painting up a lot of Angry Racoon Minatures models we have sitting in a drawer waiting for paint. We have quite a lot to get to still. I grabbed a model too but mine has a ways to go still. Dad came just short of finishing this figure so I hopped in at the last minute and painted the eyes, white lines on the shirt and did minor touchups in one or two spots where the paint went rogue.We highly recommend picking these up. These action figures are as simple as trim, assemble, and paint!"Check out more images of their custom below in our GALLERY!

Captain Bombardier (The Mandalorian)ByElias (Customs For The Kid)"For our first fully sculpted project of 2025, weve created Captain Bombardier played by Jack Black! This action figure was a commission, so unfortunately we wont be keeping it, but it was so much fun to bring to life!The base of this figure was a Movie Heroes Series Jek Porkins. I had to sand away every feature of the flight suit, and sculpt the New Republic Captain uniform. I sculpted the head in ZBrush studying several pictures of Jack Black so I could really capture his likeness. Likeness is a very subtle thing, and even the smallest difference can keep your sculpt from conveying the identity of your subject, but in the end I think I captivated the cheer of Mr. Black."
