I dislike showing off WIPs as I've far too many things that have been stuck in WIP status for far too many years. I don't like to take any credit for stuff I've not completed. This fig's no different. I fear I'm never gonna finish him as I just know I'm never gonna color-match his tunic's particular shade of red/orange/whatever color that is.

Also, I've no idea how I'm gonna fit him into my 'verse anyway.

I've bashed Malak onto 25A Storm Shadow. I've cut his torso up so it truncates at the ribcage joint, and dremeled him out to fit SS's abdomen. I've put a pair of the Yellow Submarine smallest-size ball jointsin his elbows so he can have proper, non-crappy SW swivelcut elbows. I also added some cloth for the skirtflap and cape. After nearly ripping off his neck post for this pic, I'm gonna graft the SS neck ball in here as well, once I figure out how to keep the cybernetics that trail down his neck. Should be interesting surgery.

Yeah, to find him. :roll:

Thanks gents. Just wanted to show off that a little dremeling can bash these two types of figs together even easier than SW and RAH figs. I used a 2mm diamond-head to make the plugsocket, and a 'sandpaper' head about 6mm wide to make the 'diaphragm cavity'.

Very Nice, AV. I wanted to do something similar if I could find Malak, my store never received wave 5, skipped right to wave 6. And more of those damn Vader repacks.

Revan is a nice figure, I was lucky a friend found him for me. The only real fix he needs is his legs.

Alright, because of some peer pressure (peer pressure's bad, m'kay kids?), I've finished him up. I grafted the SS neck onto the Malak torso, then filed it skinnier so I could put the hollowed-out Malak neck onto it like a sleeve. I painted the blue of his throat cybernetics again and went to the left over the cut marks made when I took his head off the neck. This makes him still look 'natural' when he looks left when not wearing the mask. And I lost his sword somewhere during all this so he's borrowing Bultar Swan's (it's not like she's using it after what Vader did to her, lol).

Hmm, how does he fit in with the asunderverse/?

Great fig, he and revan are my faves of the latest figs, :)

I think I spent my figure karma finding them, I haven't seen any mcquarrie figs since chewbacca, :(

Great work and super fast, too!
