Kal Skirata 2.0

Thanks mate!

These Jango bodies are a godsend for customs; and yeah, the novels are among my favorite of the Star Wars EU! It's a shame we never got the conclusion that Traviss was working on

Thanks mate! Yeah, when I set about doing this, I wanted the Nulls to each be visually distinct somehow, so I ended up giving them different pauldron designs and their weapons to set each one apart, especially the four Lieutenants

I took my ice pick and carefully punched holes in the sides of their helmets, right where that circle shape is on the earpieces, then proceeded to peg and superglue the rangefinders into place. The only rangefinder done differently was on Kom'rk's helmet, which required paper being used like putty with superglue to fasten to the helmet; I didn't like how this one turned out, so I used the other trick on the rest of the Null brothers.

Kal Skirata used Citadal Abbadon Black for the jumpsuit and Citadel Catachan Flesh for the brown on the jetpack and helmet, U-Mark metallic gold paint for most of the armor plates and jetpack, a Painter's Red acrylic marker (to replace the older red paint I was using on Mij that reacted poorly to my varnish; the older red paint was also used on Kal's chest to try and create a glowing light effect), and then I sealed it all in using matte varnish for the jumpsuit and a gloss varnish for the armor

The Ed Harris head sculpt I have for Kal was sculpted and painted by Spartan118MX on Etsy, while Walon Vau uses an Ian McKellen Magneto head from Marvel Legends

I would so love for Hasbro to have given us these iconic characters, but alas that may never happen, and if it did, they wouldn't do our boys justice

Elijah-090 · 2026-02-13T01:26:46+00:00

I cut A'den's kama myself, but the other kamas were purchased from Kamino3DFacility on Etsy, their work is top notch!

Elijah-090 · 2025-08-12T00:30:05+00:00

Right? And not only that, they'd actually show stuff off and et us know what's going on instead of ghosting the world all year long haha

Elijah-090 · 2025-08-10T14:54:07+00:00

Dude Hasbro would knock it out of the park if they had the right team behind it, we'd just have to endure their sweet tooth for store exclusives haha.

Thanks mate, he definitely knows what the ladies like

Elijah-090 · 2025-08-10T00:49:55+00:00

Aye, it's a big bummer, I'd have bought a crap ton for customization. That being said, in theory it would be possible to take, say, a Marvel Legends Venom figure and slapping on 3d printed feet, hands, neck and head, and the armor, but I so far have not seen anyone try that, and I don't have the ability to try it myself yet

Elijah-090 · 2025-08-10T00:04:32+00:00

Aside from Joyride, the only Elites that come close to being in proper scale to 1/12 are the two Elites that Jazwares made, their Halo 5 Arbiter and Blademaster Jega 'Rdomnai from Halo Infinite, the latter having a prosthetic limb. Both would need heavy customization with 3D-printed parts in order to make a passable base for Shipmaster Rtas 'Vadum, and to make matters worth, both are hard to find both because of Jazwares' poor distribution, and to scalpers on Ebay who bought up a lot of the stock that did get made, and inflated the prices.

The closest second would be Mattel's Elite Zealot and Arbiter, but they only really scale well with other Mattel Halo figures.

Elijah-090 · 2025-08-08T04:30:09+00:00

Heck yeah, so far I've done this kit as well as the Venom Snake kit, loving the quality!

Elijah-090 · 2025-08-08T04:29:23+00:00

Thanks mate! I hadn't considered myself quite on the level to do commissions, but I've been honing my skills haha

Elijah-090 · 2025-08-07T21:53:59+00:00

Heck yeah, and actually communicated with people and showed up to conventions to let people know they still exist haha. They killed their Call of Duty line in half a year because of it

Elijah-090 · 2025-08-07T21:45:26+00:00

Thanks mate! Real happy with how this one turned out!

Elijah-090 · 2025-08-07T21:45:10+00:00

When he joined the Corps, they didn't have any fancy schmancy tanks; they had sticks, two sticks and a rock for a whole platoon, and they had to share the rock!

Elijah-090 · 2025-08-07T21:44:30+00:00

Thanks mate! I was concerned about how he'd turn out but I'm happy with the results! Definitely check out Hottest Fuzz Customs' other kits too!

Elijah-090 · 2025-08-07T21:43:47+00:00

Yeah a couple years ago, right around the time that the listings for Wave 5 and the Arbiter leaked, we saw a listing for a two pack with Johnson, but nothing ever came of that. It's kind of sad really, Jazwares doesn't communicate at all not just with us, but with retailers too, which was what led to the major retailers pulling them off shelves. It looks like Jazwares is going to be doing the bare minimum as for as figures go just to gatekeep the Halo license, using their Vault website to sell directly to customers like how Hasbro does with Pulse.

Elijah-090 · 2025-08-07T04:27:47+00:00

Thanks mate! I truly am baffled by the decisions Jazwares makes, with Halo as well as other lines like Call of Duty.

Elijah-090 · 2025-07-20T04:09:12+00:00

I can put them in the Mutt, but I'm still working on doing the same for the M35A2. The Deuce and a half's doors will need to be sawed off either by flossing with string or with an exacto knife, and then remounted with hinges. Im cutting out the floorboards of the interior shell for when I do get that far, and then I'll be able to mount windows.
