Sometimes your customs just don't work the way you want! October has me creating...
Here is is the problem, Hasbro Pulse has been putting out new Spider-Man figures but lack quality control. The new windowless boxes have made this extremely difficult to see the problems before purchases. Multiple Spider-Man figures have arrived with defects. Hasbro do better and fix this, answer your emails, support your fans of Marvel Legends.
I love making dioramas and battle scenes for Marvel Legends, McFarlane Toys, Hot Toys and more
After working at a new job for military veteran programming since March 2020, I have tried to make sure that all the fans are up to date on my collection and customs.

Another tip I learned is to use nail polish remover (%100 acetone) and use clean* napkin, slowly and smoothly wipe off the outside paint. Don't reuse the same napkin part or it'll rub the paint back on and don't stay in an area too long, it'll dissolve the plastic.

I prefer to use 91% alcohol and a bit of aggressive rubbing 🤣. No damage ever with a qtip as well

@suhtangwong Жыл бұрын

I think the factory bonds them with special material, kinda like super glue. So you won't be able to disconnect the joints as the plastics components are chemically bonded.

Kinda curious on what the vulcan shoulders look like on the sunfire torso. because I constantly think the sunfire body is alright for lean figures, they just need bigger shoulders or atleast shoulders that goes about the collar bone.

@otakulensphotography Жыл бұрын

Sometimes people swap the Vulcan and the retro Falcon shoulders for that look on different bases. I have tried it on a Deadpool and a Daredevil and they are good. But I went back to the smaller for flexibility in Y poses

How do you prep the butterly joints to avoid paint rubs? Do they come off with boil and pop?

@otakulensphotography Жыл бұрын

Sometimes I take them all the way apart. Honestly I cut away as much friction points as possible from experience. Usually it’s safe to use a figure close to the colors you want or dye them if you can with synthetic dye 1st. Then a fine surface primer and slowly use thin airbrush layers. I seal with Mr. Clear matte from HobbyBASE
