Da Talent That Light Dude Offline --> Posts: 4,845 --> Join Date: Sep 2007	Please help me name some non joe figures What it do joediatinz. I need some help. I'm working on a figure and I can't find some parts I need in the joe line so I am turning to you and your vast knowledge. I am trying to finish up a custom who is African-American.(That means black for all you cats in Chile. ) And sadly, in the modern era style of figs, I can't find any black parts besides heads and hands. What I need is some black arms, specifically forearms, doesn't even need to go to the elbow. Yea I know there is a 25th roadblock, and the roc heavy duty, but I need an arm built for a smaller frame. I don't like the MU luke cage or the a-team figure either. Is there any star wars figs like Mace with an exposed forearm. I'd try anything at this point. Thanks for all you help. __________________ All my customs in one place....Da Talent's Customs

EasySimpleStuff No regrets... Offline --> Posts: 417 --> Join Date: Nov 2007	hmm... lets see... resolute Roadblock, Night adder, and Repeater (from the TRU 5-pack) are the only ones i can come up with... I think it's probably faster to just paint some bare forearms, than to start figure/part hunting... __________________ "Only Idiots Quote Themselves!" - Me

rds13601 I'm insane Offline --> Posts: 3,125 --> Join Date: Dec 2006	Names I went through my latest Brian's toys catalog. The only star wars fig with exposed forearms I saw was Aurra Sing and she has a bracelet on her wrist She's also a cool fig so I don't know if you want to cannibalize her for parts. As for names: Big Sexy, Pool Boy Pete. Massage Man Mike, Man in a box, Dumpster Dave, Crackhead Clarissa, Pregnant Paula,Food Stamp Freddy, Wide Ass Wanda, Schizo Sarah, Oiled up Olivia,Drunkman Dave, Brock Lawson, Dakota Smith, Teutonic Temptress, W.A.R -acronym for William A. Rusho, Red and Captain Doug are all that i can think of big C. Hope it helps. Last edited by rds13601 : 09-15-2010 at 10:06 AM. Reason: add on names

Plenty of hands available for African-Americans for Star Wars from Bespin Guards, Mace "Overhyped more than Fett and Maul" Windu and Lando "Colt-45 Drinkin' 'I'm an Artist' Billy Dee'" Calrisian. Not much in the realm of forearms.

My paint mix for African americans is Burnt umber, flesh tone (yeah, there's some white in there), and a bit of brown or black if you are going for a more "american" look or a more "African continent" look.

Is for constructive criticism (will even settle for destructive) just anything but "Nice shot" or "Awesome".
