Step 1

Boil-and-pop the head from Luke Skywalker X-wing figure and slice the hands off.

Step 2

With a dremel tool, clean out the helmet carefully until it is hollow and thinned out. Using the G.I. Joe Bazooka figure as reference, continue hollowing the head until the helmet fits on the figure’s head.

Step 3

Unscrew the Bazooka figure and remove the head. Place the Joe head in the Luke X-wing figure (you will need to shave both the figure’s head post and the Luke X-Wing body in order to get the head to fit because the G.I. Joe head has a ball pivot head).

Step 4

Cut the gloves and forearms from a General Madine figure (cut about ½ inch above the end of the glove line). Using the gloves as reference, cut the remainder of the Luke X-Wing pilot’s arms so that the gloves are proportional to the body.

Step 5

Drill a small hole in the center of the cut end of the arms on the Luke figure. Using the holes you just drilled as a reference point, shave and cut the excess arm above the General Madine gloves so that they can be plugged into the hole you just drilled (once in the gloves will fit tight and be able to swivel much like the hand on the modern Luke Bespin figure).

Step 6

Paint the figure accordingly and add a Biggs’ notorious logo to his helmet (remember this is a vintage figure so don’t go too crazy with the helmet detail - try to keep it simple).
