Custom Discussion & Work in Progress Thread

Awesome. I may pick them up when I go to Hobby Lobby next time.

Warsman, I posted on your printout thread. Maybe you didn't see it. Could you please fix your own print out thread. It has many broken pics in it. That might help a little. Also perhaps there are too many forums in the custom boards. Maybe eliminating a couple would help.

Definitely MORE people commenting on stuff would help. Especially the mods. If something good gets only two comments it hurts. Perhaps if the mods led the way with the commenting etc. It would help moral.

As well as the custom accessory guys do stuff that NO ONE else does and it gets hardly any comments. Whereas if you just repaint a Mattel figure, people comment like it is the next coming of Christ. Not knocking those guys at all but EVERYONE customizes their figures. No one hardly does what we do. So throw a little love our way.

My printout thread is old. YEARS old. I don't know why some links went bad, but if they are gone, they are gone. Some things were made on an older computer that has died long ago. Any printouts I still have are on my site: Warsman's Printouts all of which I've always happily shared.

As for the "extra customs forums," they serve a purpose. This main Customs Forum is really only for custom figures. Not arenas, accessories, customizing questions, commercials for eBay sales, etc. At one time it was thriving. Now with the "Fix-up" threads in the Mattel and JAKKS forums, it definitely takes eyes away from this forum. I realize how popular they are, and I do not want them to change. However, we need to change things here to make people come back and post their 'fixups' (customs!) here.

As for mods commenting more, I agree. CMD, through his own admission has not been active here at all for a long time. I can't speak for him. I was made mod today. I can say that I am on here daily and will continue to be. I will be active. I will (and do) comment on many things. If I haven't commented on your work yet, don't take it personally. I like the things you post, but I often wonder what to say, since you didn't make them yourself, you purchased them or had them made for you. Doesn't make them any less cool, just hard find new ways to say "Cool pickup!"

I do like your enthusiasm, and will make a point to comment on your custom work going forward.

I think it is because I am new to this. I am excited. I want others to be. My enthusiasm hurts me. But do understand. They are not pickups. They are not available at the local junk dealer. I hire the guy. Show him pics of what I want and he makes them according to my design. So in a HUGE sense, I am responsible for them as well. So I do make them. Just the money end though.

I have not seen your site. Thanks for putting the link out there. Eager to explore it. Thanks again!

Does anyone know what head is a good head for a Davey Richards custom? Please help me out. Please Reply.
This is a reference picture.

Thanks man but I think I might go with john cena's first Jakks head. 

Anybody have an extra JAKKS Sgt. Slaughter head lying around? Have a head you're looking for for a custom? PM me.

I'm open to any and all ideas! I'd love to you and others dip your toes back into the Customs Board! The old style customs challenges started off as fun, but then got silly with insults and elitist attitudes.

I plan on making quite a few tutorials to share on the board:
casting and molding heads
enlarging and shrinking heads
my method of switching torsos
3D face/headscanning
creating your own robes and jackets from existing JAKKS/Mattel patterns
