Long Snoot

It was this custom of Long Snoot (aka “Garindan”) that got the ball rolling on my recent Vintage Star Wars customizing obsession.

After my recent move to New York, I realized I had quite a few surplus vintage Star Wars figures lying around. I hadn’t quite set up my new art studio, so I was looking into some quick and easy custom toy projects to get the creativity going again. I think I had seen a custom Long Snoot project somewhere on line, and wanted to give it a shot myself.

This version began using an old, slightly beat-up Vintage Star Wars Star Destroyer Commander figure. I soaked the figure in a cup filled with near-boiling water. This softened up the plastic enough for me to pop off the original head and replace it with one from the Power of the Force 2 Garindan. The cape was made using a vinyl reproduction of a vintage Darth Vader cape, trimmed to fit.

All in all, this took perhaps only 15 minutes to make. I thought about touching up the belt buckles, but the paint scraps helped add to the illusion that it was a vintage piece.
