Custom Action Figures Thread

I'm not sure what I'd use for the body, but I'd want his tentacles to be some kind of bendy wire.

^this technic is what I used for iris

Any ideas for the body? You're our custom master (I'm not going to mold and/or inject anything, so i need another idea)

Could try making a base out of foam, wrapping it in tape, painting it light-blue and covering it with some kind of see-through blue fabric.

Use wires to make a sort of inner frame and use a cloth to cover it. The same frame wires will lead into the tentacles so everything will be connected. Cloth seems like the best option as it will still allow for light to pass through and it will let the wires move freely. That’s my only idea at the moment.

I just had an idea to take 3 really long bendy wires and some yellow plasti dip and make a screen accurate anime ghidorah.

Anyone else remember this?


No? Neither did I until like 2 hours ago. So after like, 2 years of this thing sitting on my back burner I finally got off my arse and finished it. I kinda ruined the teeth while attempting to strip the paint last time I attempted to paint it, though its hardly noticeable now.


I SWEAR! I WILL TRY AND GET BETTER PICTURES! My phone sucks arse and I have the worst possible lighting. Wall of images below;

Things Changed:
Erased the disgusting gum line.
Repainted the mouth
Repainted Teeth
Repainted Eye
Painted Dorsal plates
Shades main plates with matching green

Painted w/ Vallejo Color - Painted to be "in tow" with the original paint. So no repaint or anything. Just some touch ups really.



While it might not be noticeable right away. I painted part of the outer jaw flesh tone. I recommend others do it as well. Why? When you close his mouth and look at him from the side, you don't see that hideous pink showing. Also got away with that dumb gum line. However, I nearly snapped the damn figure in half because NECA's joints are the most difficult thing to reattach once taken out. Almost took sand paper and shaved down the joint.

Anyone wondering why his teeth and sickly?

I prefer my GMK with some nasty rancid teeth.

A whole lot of text

Looks great! But ugh the original sculpt and paint is ugly to me now. Soo glad I did away with the green, got rid of the gums entirely, and gave him a new balljoint for his jaw. Here’s mine. With my original repaint for comparison (a one year difference)
His arm snapped during customizing and I was waiting for a response from Neca CS but After these where taken I ended up just gluing his arm back on. .

Thank you! Lol, if I had a second GMK I would have done the same Honestly, the gum line just kills the sculpt. If I wanted to break out my Epoxy I could have sculpted over, but I didn't feel like slamming my face against a wall and trying to build that up.

Definately next time I touch a GMK though I will play around with more then just his paint Planning on hacking that wire tail and throwing in some ball joints as well...but that'll have to wait.

I might actually try this now that I'm on vacation.

Remoldeling a NECA Burning Godzilla into something BLASPHEMOUS!

Stay tuned!


Because NECA likes making their releases "maximum suffering". I couldn't remove the neck joints in the base figure. Tried pulling it out after super heating it. Joint snapped in half. Heated it again, grabbed some pliers. Couldn't get a good grip. Eventually smashed what remained of the neck into a flat blob. Fuck it - gunna drill it out. Mind you, I eventually gave up on heating it because it was like at 9:03 at night. Meh -

I DON'T EVER! EEEEEEEVER! Want to see people complaining in this forum about how MonsterArts joints fall off. At least you can take the things off and put them on, no problem. I challenge you to disassemble a NECA Heisei Godzilla down to every joints like a MonsterArts. Good fucking luck. I hope you brought a set of pliers. #rantend



Seriously though, 100% believe you are not meant to ever pull these things apart. Oh well, lol. Can't tell me what to do.

Added in 1 hour 46 minutes 27 seconds:
Hollowed out the neck mostly. Still need to deepen it a bit and round out the edges more. Along with test fitting the original base head.

I fully comprehend everything!

AHAHAHAAHAHAHA

TOLD YOU I WAS COMMITTING BLASPHEMY!

=====
On a serious note though. NECA's main sculpt isn't all that bad. Just how they went about doing their joints really limits them, imo. Mainly that ugly neck. That's the first thing i'm fixing...

-and no. I'm not wasting a MonsterArts on this. That's why I bought casting resin :p Gunna cast copies of the parts instead of using the original.

[godzilla1541]

Oh god. It’s happening. It’s happening and i can’t wait to see the final product!!

[MegaEvilSaurus666]

and no. I'm not wasting a MonsterArts on this. That's why I bought casting resin :p Gunna cast copies of the parts instead of using the original.

And that sounds like a good idea. Remember to use a good molding compound, and to apply a decent amount of mold release before casting in resin. I'm assuming that you've done this before, but this is just a precaution.

By the way, what would be the best way to mold these figures? What I mean is, how would one section them for molds, since you'll need two-part or even three-part molds for some parts of the figure? Just curious, as I'd like to give it a try in the future.

[ゴジマン]

I bought a Sega Prize figure Godzilla Earth and I'm currently working on making it into a Scarlet Godzilla Earth. I've just got to finish the spines on him. I'll post pictures once I'm finished.
