I want to be careful and not screw up his face entirely, how would i properly accomplish this?

Any other crit would be awesome as well.

Also, Does anybody here do stuff like this?

Very cool, though; I've never met anyone that does this sort of thing! Keep it up!

I do custom figures but I'm not demented. Regardless I think for a small job like this, and the fact you haven't used a dermal on one before, the best thing you could do is use an exacto knife and sandpaper. It'll take longer but they'll be less of a chance for spectacular failure.

I've used to. The new ones are ****ing awesome. Do you make them from old toys or new bought ones?

I want to make a mold and pour my own Pikmin figures, but I lack the materials and know-how. If I could figure it out though... OH would I make a business.

Legal? Probably not, but it wouldn't be too bad since they're not in production, and they also help Nintendo's sales.

Plus, it's be hard to find proof, aside from this post on this forum. (Don't quote this message. If I actually do this one day, it will benefit you!) xD

I edit Star Wars figures from time to time. I started making a set of figures from SW: Bounty Hunter, but I can't find all the parts that I need for cheap, so I haven't finished more than two... with six to go.

This is exactly what I was thinking, except Washy actually turns toys into something cooler.

Bionicles really do make for great custom figures. I'd play with them more if they didn't screw up the storyline.

I was really proud to collect all the McToran, play through the first game, and have myself an awesome little Takua... but I couldn't keep up with the story, so I quit.


I can't even bring myself to use Bionicle-like pieces anymore...
