I have a question for all of the customizers out there. Has anyone dared to take apart the SHMA 1989 Light, Sound and Music Godzilla figure yet? I'm wondering if there is a way to get inside the electronics of this figure so I can goose the sound output by a decibel or two. I'd love to modify the output of the LEDs as well if there is a way to do it. But I could really use the input of someone who is a certified electrician or audio engineer during their day job because there is a lot of AC voltage coursing through this thing and I don't want to stop my heart if I touch or tug on the wrong wire

So I found an old Spinosaurus figure, decided to paint it up since it had a rather nasty paint scheme. This is my personal design I've wanted to see on a Spinosaurus since I was a kid. This one is basically a nocturnal hunter, who catches his prey by surprise and by intimidation.

(I'm still modifying/repainting parts)

Thanks bro!

Lmao he does look like he'd fit right into Primal Rage, maybe even Killer Instinct.

I call dibs on his fighter name being "Spino Break"

I re-painted my BC Gigan, but it needs improvement. I free handed this paint job in other words I didn't put tape over anything so it is sloppy looking. I am going to get MUCH better paint that doesn't peel off this figure (used different paint this time) and morer accurate colors such as silver for his claws.

These are actually excellent, man. I really like what you did with the clash of skin tone and bone. Great work.

Thank you so much bro! Yeah, it was painstakingly difficult getting the whites on there evenly without greying up from the black paint (which is odd since the black was dry), but as soon as I got one side done I knew it was coming into it's own and would be worth finishing the other side!

I normally customize regular figures, but Dinos are a new one for me.

Well, I'm planning on doing a repaint on my X-Plus styracosaurus. So if anyone here has some advise or tricks they would like to share I would greatly appreciate it.
