"I am Darth Talon… I am my master's hand… I am your death."

Darth Talon was a Lethan Twi'lek who became a Sith Lady in Dath Krayt's One Sith that conquered the galaxy for a time being 130 years after the Battle of Yavin.

I'd always wanted a Black Series scale Darth Talon who looked like Frank Frazetta broke into the Star Wars offices and slipped in a design, but even though I had ideas kicking around my head for her for years, the amount of sculpting always felt a little daunting. It didn't help that I saw this amazing 3D printed version reviewed on the Fwoosh boards 7-8 years ago. So, the figure always sat in the back of my mind as I debated whether or not to try making her myself from Marvel Legend parts. But when I considered the amount of time that would've been involved, I decided that it was a better idea to take advantage of this ready-made amazing version on Shapeways.

So, while I'd love to take credit for the sculpt, the figure was a 3D print, which still kind of blows my mind as a Gen X'er. All I really had to do was paint her, which wasn't the easiest of tasks, and assemble her. I did swap out the printed hands for a pair of Marvel Legends hands for a little bit more mobility, and for more flexibility in the fingers so I wouldn't be petrified of the hand breaking every time I moved her lightsaber (which was a 3D print I got off eBay). I also had to make a tunic for her using some leather looking felt I picked up at Hobby Lobby.

I debated whether she even counts as a custom, but felt I put enough effort in her in the painting and slight additions, that she qualified as such. I might start leaning more into the Expanded Universe figuring that Disney won't be making too many characters from that post-Jedi era.

Thanks for looking! May the Force be with you!
