FIXING Baylan and Shin - Star Wars The Black Series 

The Baylan fix is so creative way to solve his height issues im impressed

Ridiculous that you'd have to do this in the first place but I like the easy nature of this fix! Excellent video, Luke! -Justin

Baylan with Reva’s legs is cursed

Great job! Shin & Baylon standing next to each other looks so much better now! (And Shin/Sabine too) 👍🏻

Would the Count Dooku legs possibly work for Baylan? Christopher Lee only stood 2 inches taller than Ray Stevenson so it could be fudged together I think

Very well done Luke! Great solution. As I commented before, I’m not TOO upset over the stock figures, but this is a DEFINITE improvement.

What a great and simple fix! And the added bonus is that the top parts of Baylans’ legs can be used on Reva in return, with no blatantly obvious difference.

Thank you for having the passion to do this for us. You are a true brother

Looks great! Could post a video if you repaint Shin? I wanna see her with a wash or something

Couldn't wait to get mine in the mail, got my Reva and Koska a few days ago. Immediately did this leg swap and the difference is incredible. Thanks so much for putting this together.

Super creative solution! It's pretty ridiculous that we have to fix a problem that really shouldn't be one for a big company like Hasbro. I can't really imagine Hasbro using resources to retool these, and even if they were to rerelease these figures, who knows when or if that'll happen, so for now, this solution will do! Hoping Mafex or Figuarts will release much better looking versions of these characters!

tiny bo katan sitting in the pot wearing sabines armor really cracked me up

Thanks for sharing, a tip on how heat up these figures. You can also heat up the water, then transfer the water to a new container (to prevent burning with the bottom of the pot you just used to heat up the water), place the figure in a ziplock bag, then place the bag in the hot water, that way you prevent discoloration that can happen from the direct water contact (in case you are just heating up joints on new figures etc.) and your figure won't be wet. Thanks again for sharing.

Thank you for this solution. Thank you also for being the best Star Wars figure channel on RU-vid. Always consistently good vibes and no drama. We think we actually were stood near you at Star Wars celebration, as we thought we recognised your voice. MTFBWY

They talk so much about how they want to improve the figures, but they do stuff like this. Impressive and creative solution to the fixes! Unfortunate you'd have to do this in the first place, but it looks great

Really nice job, they all look great together now! Funny how a little change in height makes such a difference.

I used Fourth Sister for Shin. The color matches perfect and her blades are a bit more orange so it fits nicely on both of them. I did add a bit of black tac in the actual socket for the lower leg though to add friction, it's a loose fit otherwise. For Baylan I did it the hard way and cut his legs at the thigh, cut off a chunk of thigh from a different fodder figure and glued that in between the Baylan cuts, basically adding a slab of plastic to his thigh length to make him taller overall. There's probably an easier way but this works for me lol.

This worked so well. The figures look like the perfect height in your shots. Much more like they appeared in the show.

Fantastic video, not that we should have to do this to our figures but guys like yourself come up with these great fairly easy mods for us to try. Thank you!

Great idea on the leg swap. They look much better. Thank you for sharing.

Just used a 5th brothers legs and saber for Baylan. The boots look good, and he has more height. Used the microwave method for heating the water and it worked a treat.

Nice work man! Pretty much what I had in mind, just hadn't worked out which figures to use. Bonus got hasbro, any Reva's left over will sell now haha

Thanks for the tips, very convincing fix! (For Shin, I guess it's working with Bo-Katan legs also?). Love your videos and dioramas

Most excellent. I really love the design with Marrok and was disappointed with these two, but you have really changed my mind on that!

Amazing job! To think, last night I cancelled my pre-orders, thinking I can wait a couple years for these to be redone/corrected by Hasbro when the next season/show comes out. Maybe now I’ll actually pick them up if I find them in the wild.

Awesome video. I'm going to go ahead and get the Koska Reeves and Reva so I can do this the minute my figs arrive from Hasbro Pulse. I hate that we have to do it but at least now I can put them on display instead of just keeping them in their boxes. Thanks for the fix!🤘

That is a HUGE improvement

Wow, those look so much better, awesome job!!! 🙂👍

Thank you so much for the easy fix. It definitely helped my Baylan figure a lot. I can't believe that we got this figure like this and had ti fix it. I will fix Shin after I receive her.

Thanks Luke for this video. I would honestly wait a year or so if Hasbro would deliver our figures with correct scaling and great sculpt likenesses. Thanks for explaining how to swap out the legs and the best figures to use for each. Take care from your friend Tom

This is a crazy good improvement 👏 I was afraid there would be no saving them

Thanx Luke for sharing, I would have def thought to do the same, but wouldn't have known to use Reva for sure! Years ago I fixed the CW season 5 Ahsoka's height by using Qira's thighs and grinding down the boots until they are flats.

That is hilariously awesome dude! Great solutions! Thanks so much for sharing it!

YOU ARE LEGENDARY!!! THANK YOU

Amazing work

Great idea, Luke! Thanks for sharing!

Great work! Love the kit bashing advice! 🤜🤛

Awesome job on the fixes!

Nicely done. When mine show up I'm inclined to give this a try. Thanks for the tip!

Great ideas Luke! But I was thinking of adding the Stevie Nicks idea of platform Boots (on Baylan), as I dont want to destroy my Reva, and shes still too expensive to buy another one at this stage. I think Shin's face is terrible, Lets hope someone customises a better face at some stage hint hint Thanks mate, once again your videos are amazing, all the best from New Zealand!

Looks waaaay better. Nice job.

Loved your Baylan idea, you nailed it. Shin's skirt looks too long now, though.

Very well done. Thanks for the video.

I was thinking about swapping Baylan and Marrok’s legs. I don’t have Baylan yet though.

Brilliant fix. I'll have to try it once I get mine (and assuming I can source the needed figures at a decent price here overseas).

Looks great!

😂😂😂 hack unlocked. Stands up to buy a new Reva and Bo-Katan figures for the custom.*

Dremel, then insert dowels. Then seal with polymer clay, sculpt pants texture. Repaint. Done

Great job! Looks way better.

Yo thank you so much for this, I just so happen to have a spare Reva I bought for $6 to give the split sabers to my emperor. Looks like I’ll need to get another Koska. I legit just preordered Baylon and Shin because of this video

Nice to know that boil and pop works with Black Series figures...found out the hard way it doesn't with VC figures. But great job on both of them! 👍👍

Nicely done

Looks so much better !

This is amazing, thank you!!!

Bo Katan needs to lay off the sauce. She was definitely channeling the spirit of BSG Starbuck from the reimaged series 😂

That's awesome!! Yeah this is so much better

Incredible!

Wow!!! Luke you are a clever man!!! 😊

thanks for this tutorial man... i haven't actually opened up my figures since i just got them... but man... the scale... smh

Looks great!! the heads definitely need a dark wash though.

Looks much better but I feel like part of the problem now is that Sabine is too small. Natasha is 5’7, same as Rosario, and Ivanna and Mary Elizabeth are both 5’8 so those 4 characters should all be around the same size as each other.

Awesome work!!!!!!!!!!!!!.

Much better. Nice job

You sir are a genius!! Fantastic!! :))

Nice fix! Very clever

Might have to do that when my figures come, although I think I'll keep Baylan's blade with him. Looks too off with a red lightsaber to my eyes

Awesome job

Honestly might poke around for some fodder figs while i wait for these to go on sale. Shin will be my first custom head too, since they did such a good job

Perfect! Thanks so much

Looks great

Wow that worked really well! They look great now

My MAN!

Been waiting for this video, can't believe i'm the first one to actually watch it!!! Thanks Landspeeder Luke, you're one of the best!

Babylon still looks like Rhett from Good Mythical Morning.

My favorite Star Wars (The Mandalorian) engineers/mechanics, Babu Fric, Kuiil, Peli Motta, and last but not least, LL. Great solutions LL. I assume that Hasbro will fix the problem eventually like they did with the Boushh Leia figure but in reverse (her legs were originally too long). Have you thought of making a custom figure of the Jedi youngling that asked Master Skywalker, “What are we going to do, there are too many of them,” during the massacre at the Jedi temple? The new 6” preorder child Anakin got me thinking of a lot different custom possibilities.

That’s awesome I’ll have to pick up the other figs

The GOAT!!!

Reva character might actually boost in price after this hack goes viral lol

A most EXCELLENT custom on both…WOW!! Very cool and satisfying indeed. 🤩🤩🤩💥🔨🪛🪚

Fantastic work. Whoever's in charge of this line clearly has no true love for SW. Great fix! ...double the cost though haha. Thanks for sharing.

I’m still about 3 weeks off getting Baylon. The amount of fixing needed gives me pause. But I love your solution. Definitely food for thought.

The price for Reva is about to go up. Lol

Aaaaaand now I’m excited for them again. Glad I didn’t cancel my preorders yet. Leave it to Luke to find a fix!!!!

Y they look great!🎉🎉

Amazing.

As someone who's never customised figures this is a really non customizer friendly fix, i might actually have to do this!

Im thinking about using greef karga for the legs, for the blades im gonna swap un the 4th sisters blades. Theyve got that slight orange tint

I´m on it. thanks for the tutorial bro!

Will you make a video explaining how you fixed Huyang? I tried doing some acrylic painting the other day to a Marvel Legends figure and failed miserably

Three videos in two days 0: we eating good

IDK if it's because of a retool or Luke just didn't see fit to mention it (I have an orange saber Baylan), but putting Baylan's thighs on Reva left her floppy at the hips AND knees. Soaked her in ice water for 10 minutes thinking maybe the plastic hadn't cooled down, nope, still floppy. Just FYI.

How dare you boil Sabine! ;) jk Nice fix for Baylan. Thanks for sharing. -YL

looks really nice, but i think baylan torso should've been bigger and wider, ray was a colossal unit

I wonder if Fennec Shand's thighs would work for Shin? They're black like the tops of her lower legs, and Fennec is fairly short too

Hey, was wondering if my the 4th sister inquisitors legs would work more in scale as Shin is slightly taller than Sabine. Thought it might be good to pick one up because it could give shin better height while also providing an orange blade for Baylan. (EDIT) I found that the Mando Luke Legs work perfectly

Hungry for some new vids, Luke 🖖🏻

This is wicked

Hey @landspeederluke! I’d like to create a custom 6inch mutt Williams to my Indy display. Any ideas on where I could start?

Great job man! I really have tried to be less critical of figures because ultimately I love most of them… but these two really should not have made it out of quality testing/approval at the developer stage. The fact they went to production and were released like this is dumbfounding. Regardless, I’m definitely going to use these fixes as a start. I think I’ll try to modify Shin’s robes a little because once she’s dropped down she looks a bit bulky. I’m definitely going to creat new hair with Apoxie sculpt. Thanks for putting this out! 👍🏻

That’s awesome
