Star Wars cantina Band upgrade

[VideoViper]

This is a small project I've been working on. I upgraded the Cantina band members with more modern bodies.

Reciepe:
Heads: Star Wars Cantina Band (Boxed set)
Hands: Star Wars Cantina Band (Boxed set)
Cloth Jackets: Star Wars Cantina Band (Boxed set)

Bodies: ROTJ Luke I used at least 2 different Jedi luke versions for different figures.

Boxed band member: 7 points of articulation
Rebo Max band version: 5 points of articulation
New version: 12+ points of articulation
KISS figure: 0 points of articulation


I wanted to include before & after versions so the last guy is still awaiting his upgrade.

Okay looked at these twice in ten minutes. This means, IMHO, that these are cool. I'm not a huge SW fan but these are still really cool.

Now I know what I have to do.

The jedi Luke were reciently $4 each at Big Bad Toy store, I think they are out now, but they still have some Ren Joes at that price.

Looking good. What's that kiss guy in the background from?

[VideoViper]

The Kiss band are from a PVC statue set I got at TRU for $2 on clearance. (Joe scale) I thought about getting more to cut up & make movable Kiss figures, but they sold out at that price.

Is that where you got the instruments from? I've been looking for some 1:18th scale electric guitars but everything I've been finding is in the 5" scale.

The Guitars are blinkies Light up magnet/pin LEDS. They are a little small but work for the scale.
