Just for fun part 2: Lightsaber

BSHZZZ! I am your father!

The gimmick works just by simply pushing the darn thing.

The vintage Kenner 3.75" Star Wars action figures are legendary!
I was fortunate enough to experience that in the 80s as a kid.
The rumors were true, Boba Fett was the coolest figure at the time, at least everyone in my class and all the older kids said so.

As crappy as Darth Vader was, starting with his vinyl cape that easily ripped, a head that was prone to coming off, and his way too stubby lightsaber, the result may have fell a little short but it was a figure made of dreams.

At the end of the day Kenner put Darth Vader in our hands, so that we can make him command Storm Troopers in our very own world, which was probably the living room.

I got to say that the most ambitious part of the Darth Vader figure was that lightsaber gimmick, where it actually extends and retracts!
So I just had to try and replicate this marvelous idea.. but in Lego format.

This was quite an ambitious project, it took a lot of work and time but I finally got it down.

Dream on! Dream on! Jam on to Aerosmith!

Just for fun part 4: Into the Star Wars!

After working on the lightsaber gimmick, I wanted to do more Star Wars inspired creations. The R2D2 style Fright Droid. The Darth Vader inspired Darth Clops. Desu-Man (Death man) is a skull head. The Fright Droid comes with a removable brain piece. Darth Clops not only comes with the lightsaber gimmick arm, his eye is what I call GDR (Glitter Done Right) it simply means that the glitter is sealed on the inside and not sprinkled on the outside where it constantly keeps falling out. Desu-Man is just a plain skull head but like my other creations it's over sized compared to your standard minifigure so that it really stands out! I was definitely thinking Darth Vader when I designed this version of Desu-Man who I called Desu-Vader at the time. I improved the head design to make the skull larger and the facial features more clear to see. This Darth Clops is missing a horn but his mouth area I really liked so I kept. The head has a thin slit on the crown so you can inter...

Just for fun part 3: Gore-guts

I wanted to do something blood and guts grotesque, splatter horror if you will. Gore-guts is inspired by many horror films, I haven't slept all night and the cult classic film The Thing comes to mind. So far I've made only one of these, and I got so many projects lined up, I'm not even sure if I will make more. Is it an alien from outer space? Is it a biological experiment gone wrong? Either way it is an abomination ready to turn your minifigs inside out! H.F.O. Official store!
