Seriously guys, it’s not like he’s cutting up extremely rare, one-of-a-kind figures. He paid for them, so he can do whatever he wants with them.
That was a poor assumption on my part. Since all the other vinyls from that release time are expensive, I assumed he would be too. I've had my 2004 since 2004 so I just assumed he would be stupid expensive.Kinggoji1962 wrote:Except 2004 is like 20 bucksMaritonic wrote:I also feel like you'll regret ALL of this when you're older.

No, I get you. And hey, seriously, you do you. I loved what you did with Frozen Shin. I'm not even remotely trying to tell you you're wrong for doing what you want with your figures. Apologies if it came across that way.godzilla1541 wrote:I have actually been talking my time on this one. Everything gets cleaned up after the joints are in place, and some of the joints have been changed since that photo was taken. After I’m done attaching the articulation I do cosmetic changes. IE cleaning up hot glue strands, and making sure everything looks like it should, then I repaint it.UltramanGoji wrote:A lot of the joints look so sloppy. There’s hot glue everywhere and the vinyl flakes aren’t sanded, making it look extremely poor.
I feel like you rush through most of these customs and that they’d benefit from a lot of patience.
Added in 6 minutes 19 seconds:I’ve mostly customized figures of monsters that don’t have articulated figures yet. I’d say MG75 is the only one I will probably regret, and every other figure I have customized is currently readily available in amazon for under $30Maritonic wrote:I also feel like you'll regret ALL of this when you're older.

Speaking of My MG75. I recently repainted it
That's actually not bad at all. You're getting better with each one.godzilla1541 wrote:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=45uFRf5oaFE

I would have used Resin. Probably did use hot glue. That is his tools of the trade.canofhumdingers wrote:What did you make the fins out of? Hot glue?
Looking forward to seeing the finished project.
Take it all apartStevo_1985 wrote:So I recently acquired a Bandai creation Kiryu and Godzilla. G is in pretty good shape but Kiryu looks like he’s seen some action and his pose is rather strange so I’m gonna paint him in a Tetsujin 28 theme and not feel bad about it. I was wondering though if there was anything to know before painting this figure. Besides cleaning would you recommend primer or are there any certain paints you recommend?
It’s hot glue. I printed out a sheet of paper with the spine designs on it(it was a picture of a 84 kit with the spines laid flat) , and put glue over that. Then went over and cut it out with my X-Acto knife and added glue to the other side so it wasn’t flat here’s a photo of the 1.0 largest spine compared to the 2.0 largest spineSpaceG92 wrote:I would have used Resin.

Honestly, they look too clean for straight glue. Wonder if he made a blank mold and just dumped glue into it.
Apparently, from the same guy who did the articulated Varan that trolled the forums for a bit :p Plans to sell at next WonFest (not a single fes, license). So hopefully this all goes through.Rasubosu of Super Godzilla for one festa, Bagan also applied for this application. First we will not sell it only for exhibition
Saw his Varan figure before, it looks quite excellent. The articulated seams don't blend in together as well as something you'd see from SHMA or NECA, but if that was really his work, then I'm excited to see what he'll do here. He'll be showing off the Bagan prototype at Wonder Festival 2018 [Summer], with a potential release down the road.SpaceG92 wrote:Apparently, from the same guy who did the articulated Varan that trolled the forums for a bit :p
