BlockTalk Summary
A LEGO fan created custom minifigures of Darth Bane and Darth Zannah, characters from the *Darth Bane* trilogy. The creator shared their custom builds on Reddit, showcasing the unique parts and design choices that bring these dark side figures to life.
The Darth Bane minifigure features longer legs, likely from LeYiLeBrick, a tactical belt from BrickRaiders, and pauldrons from Arealight, enhancing his height. The creator sourced most parts from Firestar Toys, carefully selecting colors to match their vision of the characters. Darth Zannah's minifigure utilizes a custom hairpiece from Firestar Toys, with the torso being gunmetal, which the creator felt suited the character well. The creator noted they didn't realize the torso was gunmetal when they looked at the picture but thought it suited well as it is slightly darker than the dark grey but not black.

They aimed to capture the essence of the Dark Side, portraying the Sith as selfish and power-hungry, yet strategic in their pursuit of control. The creator's post sparked discussion among fans, with many sharing their thoughts on the custom designs.
