Before anyone uses synthetic dye, please watch my video on what happens after you use the dye so you can have an exact idea on how this goes before you do it! kzfaq.info/get/bejne/m7F4ZbaCrtPXqX0.html

@MikeysActionFigures5622 ай бұрын
Yes and it has, I made a video on this and it should be in the comments. I was able to find a spray on sealer that keeps the dye from removing. I’ll be making a video on that when I know fursure it works

Nice, thanks for the demonstration. I've always used a drill to get a pilot hole to pry the torso open, your method looks way easier and less damaging to the plastic. Have you found it helpful to heat it up before cracking? Also, which base figure is that? I have found that not all suit bodies are the same, the young Nick Fury body (holster straps on the chest) has much better legs than the Chameleon body, but the inner waist peg is a different diameter so it took some Dremeling to kitbash those bodies together. I like your final look and may try this myself.
@MikeysActionFigures56210 ай бұрын
I actually used to drill holes before as well and I always hated seeing little holes in my figs. I noticed that heating makes the torso harder to crack because the plastic is more bend and warps when I apply to much pressure. I’m glad this video helped you! I plan on doing one of me cracking different torso’s in the future

Great tutorial! How long do you dye it for and how long does it last on the figure?
@MikeysActionFigures5625 ай бұрын
I actually made 2 other videos of this, one regarding length of dying and 1 of how long it lasts. They should both be on the channel!
@marottamonster2 ай бұрын
Cool video, quick question, so after you pout the dye on the stove and heated it up, did you turn the stove off before putting the parts in the mix? How long do you find it takes for the dye to "take" [how long did you keep the figure parts in the dye] ?
@MikeysActionFigures562Ай бұрын
I lowered the temp to the number 3/4 , the dye depends on the type of plastic I’ve had some dye within minutes and some dye in 30 mins to an hour. After you completely dye you want to make sure to let the dye sit in water for 24 hours to prevent it rubbing on anything. I made a more detailed video recently on my channel

Dang, I've never seen a torso crack open so easily! It's almost like you stuck a key in and unlocked it. I've always tried slicing the side open. And I've always just done it with suited bodies where I can hide the edges. And thanks for the tips on dyeing. I definitely need to try it. Do you have any recommended time lengths to keep parts under water, or how much water per bottle? Or do you just see what works best?
@MikeysActionFigures5628 ай бұрын
A lot of people didn’t believe I did it first try so I’m going to do another video where I open up the figure and do it again with a brand new fig. I would say for time best thing to do is check every 20-30 minutes to see how well the color is sits. It usually depends on what color is being used and the type of plastic

so do you heat up the water before or after you fill it with dye?

I just tried this out and the action figure I was dying was blue I died in red but it's just black maybe I should put it in longer
@MikeysActionFigures5629 ай бұрын
It tough to change dark colors to bright colors, I would stay away from blue or black. I would use light gray, light brown, white or skin tone. Those will change super easy
@dgonthatmic24699 ай бұрын
Hard to change? does that mean if I leave it in longer like a I don't know what day or something the color might become brighter?
@MikeysActionFigures5629 ай бұрын
@@dgonthatmic2469 well it’s like trying to turn black pink, but turning white pink is more ideal. It’s possible it could come out brighter but the longer you leave it in the dye it could cause the dye to be messy and will need to soak to remove it. It’s just much more simple to dye light colors then dark

@MikeysActionFigures562Ай бұрын
If you dye something black most likely it would be very difficulty to change it. Even with that said I would still take a blow dryer, heat up the shoes and take them off. Anything you don’t want dyed I’d remove with heat

Do you save the used dye to use again or do you discard it?
@MikeysActionFigures56210 ай бұрын
I dump it. Only because the bottles cost $5 at WMT. But I obviously probably use way to much so most can just use some and still save the bottle for another use

It honestly all depends on the plastic, every plastic dyes different. Some plastic takes the dye like nothing and some need it all. It’s honestly trial and error lol
