Not meaning to knock what youve done but personally I couldnt put star wars figs / vehicles into my action force collection cos they are too memorable as what they were
.

Totally agree with statement, personally.

What you've done is great and you get pleasure from your expanded Shadow army, so that's what its all about, but for me they are star wars figures in the 'wrong' colour. I'm too much of a star wars nut to suspend the disbelief.

Scoobydie used a Boba Fett head on one of his customs and he loves it. But to me, I just see a Boba Fett head on a Shadow, which is 'wrong' to me, but that's just my OCD and the need to have everything in its right place....

I have actually combined my star wars and action force universes on one custom.

It's a mission pilot body, arms and thighs although you would never know.

And also a mission pilot life preserver painted white.

I love my Luke x-wing jumpsuit custom - one of my favourite SW customs [and I've approaching 200 of them now!]

[any excuse to talk star wars customs..... :doc: ]

Aw wow! That X Wing display is the best! I'm trying desperately for it to not reawaken my Star Wars collecting bug. I was hoping to remain content with what I have, but to see all of these X Wing guys is a bit special. Must resist....must resist....

As for Keith Cheggers, please tell me someone has made a "Keith Chegwin Naked Jungle" custom.

I'm guessing it'd give a whole new meaning to the idea of a 3 3/4 inch action figure. (what was he thinking!)

Ok but others use repainted cobra figures for Action force arguably they shouldn't be used as they are recognizable all I set out to do was show my Red Shadow army not start a debate on the use of Star Wars figures and vechicles I am only using the non-movie vechicles anyway.

Hey Ironblood, don't take it personally fella.

Its just that I'm a bit of a hardcore vintage SW fan!

They're your toys, you can do whatever the hell you want to with them!

Like I said earlier, if you get pleasure from them - which you do - then wicked! That's what its all about!
