Wow. I can't even describe how it feels to own this. Before I get into anything I need to thank my old friend @kf.brix for selling this figure to me, you're the best man. Anyway, where to even begin? Its no secret that old/classic CAC is a huge inspiration to me on this page. Hell, 90% of my customs come from Simon, who makes replicas of Tyler's old work. Without seeing Simon's remakes, I probably wouldn't have made the leap into getting old clones. Long story short, I was never able to get my hands on actual old CAC until now.
The helmet is 1000% original old CAC no question. The backpack I'm also confident is old CAC. Kf mentioned to me that he believed the body was one of Simon's work. At first I wasn't sure about it in comparison to some of my other SM figures but now with the help of some others I'm of the belief this was one of simons older designs hence some of the damage to the decals (age and wear), the looseness, and the cut on the hips being wider. Thank you everyone for the help! He also appears to have a little arms shop blaster, being slightly different than CAC's later blaster design. Even if the body isn't original its no big deal because the helmet and pack are the real deal and that's enough for me. Its also really cool to have an older simon body.
Overall its so cool to have old CAC in my collection. A literal dream come true if you ask me. Like I said Tyler's old work was a foundation for me here. What better old CAC to have than my favorite commando Boss?

When I started this account 6 years ago I never imagined it'd grow as large as it has. Even when I wasn't active on this page I noticed it continued to grow. My posts, particularly my clone army, kept getting likes and shares. I can't thank you guys enough for all the support over the years. The lego community has been one of the most welcoming communities I've been apart of online. I can't wait to grow this page and meet more like minded lego fans. Thank you 🙏🏻
Custom Fordo FAQ and Info Dump!

My custom Fordo minifigure has to be my most popular and well loved one on my page. Ever since I got him, he's been a personal favorite and grail in my collection- he's a one of a kind. Frequently over the years I've gotten a variety of questions about him and to maybe save some confusion and time on everyone's part I felt like making a whole info post about him would be appropriate
Here's the run down on what this figure is and includes:
- Custom painted helmet
- Custom painted arms
- Rangefinder glued onto the helmet
- Helmet neck is shaved down for mobility
- Pauldron is made of a fabric material and painted and glued to the body
- Custom Weapon clip glued to the body
- Waistcape/Kama made from same material as pauldon, cut, painted, and glued to the body
FAQ:
1. How did you make him?/Did you make him?
A: I actually did not make this figure funny enough. I was just lucky enough to find him before the p1 craze began back in 2019
2. Where did you get him?
A: I found this figure over on ebay. I bought him January 17th 2019 (just checked the listing lol)
3. How much did he cost?
A: Usually dont like to tell these things but I have gotten this before. I found him for under $40 we'll say that.
4. If you didn't make him, do you know how he was made originally?
A: No, but I can take a guess based on what we know about the figure (paint, glue, etc). I did reach out to the original seller on ebay for some answers on his origin, but I never got a response. As of now, I assume that original seller made him but honestly he could be just as old as the P1's themselves
5. Are there any more figures made just like him?
A: To my knowledge, no. He's one of a kind.
6. Can I make my own version of him?
A: Absolutely! Since I didn't make him, you don't need to have my permission. However, feel free to send it my way if you do- I'd love to see more figures just like this guy out there!
7. Is he for sale?/How much?/Can I buy him?
A: Absolutely not.

These figs are incredible. The moveable joints add a whole other layer to posing. Im the type of lego photographer who doesnt like dismembering the figs to get a pose (im mostly lazy) so these are next level for me. This is the type of creativity I love to see in the customs community. And once again, fake parts, but thats not a problem when its offset with the creativity that comes with it. The prints all look good too, aside from anakin's second face which came off a little derpy on my fig. These TCS accurate poseable figs give me extreme hope and excitement for more figs in this style from them. I'd personally love to see a Vader with these limbs. But I digress. Great figs, super unique and I'd recommend.

This fig is peak. This is everything I wish their ogp1 clones were: an affordable alternative to real lego with good printing. I love the helmet and the sand green and blue. The detail is insane and for a good price too. Like I said in that clone review Ik fake lego is a controversial subject but I dont hate it as long as its used to produce something of quality like this. In today's economy its getting harder and harder to even afford real lego let alone custom lego, so I dont mind getting something like this that's a lot cheaper but still meets the quality. I don't think I even have anything negative to say here. Great fig. Really like how it compliments that Jango of theirs too.

No. Its not just a star wars page. Lol anyway, for those who don't know, I love comic books as much as SW. Lego Batman was instrumental as a kid getting me deeper into Batman lore, along side TAS and The Batman animated series. Come to find out, my favorite Batman villain, Firefly, was exclusive on the DS version of Lego Batman and when I was a kid I was OBSESSED with getting this as a physical figure... But it never happened. Not until years later, when Lego made Firefly apart of the Lego Batman 3 wave. It was a cool fig but nowhere near what the charm of the og design was. Classic Lego design will never be beat.
Venom's fig here takes that design and perfectly replicates it. From a custom designed UV print body to the amazing quality on the helmet, its a near 1:1 to the fig from the game that I wanted all those years ago. I'd say if I had any actual complaints it'd be the helmet being painted and not printed on but even then the paint is almost non noticeable in comparison to what it'd be as a print so its a non issue.

Definitely recommend, I know I'll be going back for more figs from him and you should too. You can use code Galacticlego at checkout and get a nice discount for yourself!! It'd help out the page a ton and like I said, you yourself get good discounts and figs from it!
May the 4th be with you!
Here's a handful of my favorite figs I've gotten this year so far. Mostly all sm stuff (are you surprised?) But I'm very happy with where my collection is at atm so I figured Id use today as a good excuse to share some of it :)
Meet CT-22535 — Trigger
We all had clone oc's when we were kids. Or at least Im pretty sure it wasnt just me... Mine was a clone I named Trigger. My brother and I would play with our 3.5" Star Wars figures and one day I got a 327th recon trooper and I thought it was the coolest thing ever. Yellow was my favorite color as a kid so I was naturally drawn to the 327th in general. But this fig created stories for me.
I remember making a backstory for him, he was a shiny who joined the 327th after Rex, Cody, and Bly were choosing members after a mission. Trigger got drafted in the 327th for his great marksmanship and being a weapons expert. He moved from shiny to the yellow markings, to an arc trooper, and then phase 2 introduced his recon gear. He had insane beef with an elite commando droid unit (the lore goes Deep). He did carry out order 66 and continued to serve the empire.
Trigger was my clone and still is to this day. I use the name when playing battlefront 2 (2005) and now im happy to have some figs to represent my old childhood memories. None of this really matters, but I wanted to share a slice of my life growing up with Star Wars and creating my own stories in that realm.
@classicminifigures was kind enough to send me a good assortment of their cloths and I can't thank them enough. They gave me a whole bunch of styles and colors to choose from, from pauldrons for the troops to capes for Jedi. Cloth texture feels great, just like Legos and printing is top notch. Go check them out, they're drop is coming up so don't miss it.

Another printed sm fig! Once again, the printing is top notch for being UV. Its a shame that printing didnt work out for sm in the long run, but I still love his decal work of course. Speaking of decals, yet again another decaled arealight helmet to match. Which speaks levels about his capability to decal, you can barely tell the difference between the print and the decal which is impressive. Such a clean design and I'm happy to have some printed sm figs in my collection now.
