I'm only 12 so try to explain this easily, how do you make customs and what do you need to buy for customs and how much $ would it be altogether...... and if it depends on the wrestler, how much and what would I have to use for a custom Jeff Hardy?

Well you need modeling clay. you need to sculpt it/mold it, bake it, paint it, seal it(if your using it to play with, not as a collectible) so it doesnt chip. Not much money

you dont have to sculpt the whole thing. you can take other parts from other wrestlers. Look at the recipes thread.

Thank you, I always appreciate fans. To make custom action figures all it takes is a little motivation, a steady hand, and the write supplies. Heres a list of what you will need.
Paint Brushes-Get a couple different sizes. Get one really thing one for finer details and some bigger ones for filling in the areas.
Super Sculpey-Something for molding new hair, or modding chests and such. If your making customs for your son to play with I wouldn't recommend using this as it would break with rough play and its probly not worth the trouble to heavily mod the figures.
Fabric-If you want to make shirts or anything fabrics great.
Ref Pics-Always have a good clean picture of whoever your doing just so you can map out how you are going to do everything.
Acrylic Paints-Acrylic is the recommended paint. Its cheap and dries relatively quickly. Here in Canada its around a dollar for a 59 mL bottle which lasts a while.
Paint Sealer-This is used to seal the acrylic paint and make it last. It also prevents chipping.
Toothpicks-These also help when painting slim designs.
Other then that, take your time when painting. If you do it really quickly and don't let the paint and the sealer dry before moving the joints it may cause wrinkling in the paint which sucks. Thanks, happy holidays!
