Which action figure size do you like best?
Posted in
Custom WorkstationI'm completely torn between custom figure sizes for deciding which size would be best fit for my characters.
I'm still currently working on my original characters. I have a hard time deciding which action figure would have the best size. 6" inch, 7" inch, 8" inch, 10" inch, 12" inch, or 18" inch? Or even bigger?
Which size do you prefer the most?
I would like your opinion...

Please wait...

HOLY CRAP!
His figures are sharp, sharp, sharp! Thanks for the link! The creator of these toys is way ahead of his time. Wow.
My favorite ones are the monster/human hybrid sorta-twin characters (with tons of detail of their...um, armor?), and his female figure that lays in the bed.
And the dioramas are absolutely amazing.
Speechless...
However, he is the exception to the rule. I will admit that it's easier for most people to work with 6-7" figures....but hot dang, sithfire30 is crazy impressive.

I cry thinking about how awesome he is, and how I'll never come close to that kind of talent.
Personally I prefer 7 over 6 inch, but only because I love the quality of DC and Marvel Select figures.
If I was to do customs myself, I'd probably go with 6 inch as Marvel and Mattel DC Universe figures are easy to find with enough body and detail variations and blank looking bodies that make for a good empty canvas to start sculpting your own stuff on.
7 inch figures from other lines (DC etc) have more sculpted detail in general on them already that may not work and needs to be sanded down.
3.75 inch would feel a bit too unrewarding for me, as the amount of work and detail you can pour into something that small is a bit less and would leave me wanting to be able to do more.
6-7"inch figures are just awesome as well, like that DC Collectibles Ultraman, or Hasbro's Skyline Sirens Black Cat.
The gi joe figures are small, and touch to work with, but I tend to like the articulation better as well as how well they pose....as well as being cheaper.
Then there's S.H. Figuarts (around 6" inch), then there's Play Arts Kai (around 8" inch to 10" inch), both of which look really good.
Then there's this awesome 18" inch Spiderman 2 super-poseable figure with super articulated fingers and thumbs.
Still thinking... Driving me crazy! I think I should stick to 6" inch figures, because it would be easier to make dioramas, and box packaging.
