Custom WorkstationI know comissions are a big part of the customizing community and allot of people who aren't even into customizing as a hobby pay big bucks for them. My question(one some of you vets can probably easily anwser) is why they usually price so high to make one figure. I don't know what the guys 'round here charge for a figure but some of the stuff on Ebay goes for insane(my opinion) amounts of money. Maybe im stingy, well actually I am, but I can't see paying near the amount of money some people fork out for some of this stuff(though the guy who's selling them isnt doing to bad
)
Heck id be paying for more comissions if they were cheaper

Please wait...

X Men on eBay
I try to keep my prices fair and usually only charge around $40 - $50.00 each, however, the time it takes me to do a TF commission is a lot longer than a regular figure. Getting everything back together, reconfiguring parts, and transforming smoothly with the limited amount of paint wear is a very trying process and that why I normally charged a much higher price on them. Sadly however the TF customs seem to be what I am almost always getting work for, thus making my life difficult but well worth it.

Suppose I wanted to do commissions(won't though, I work too slow and don't have the experiance/skill yet) how much would I start off with on Ebay for something like a 6 inch figure?

Commisions are expensive because they are one of a kind, more work goes into them and the person doing them have the talent. Hasbro has the molds and run of 2 million Iron Men, assembley line paint, ect.. Customs are done by hand, more time and skill required. Guys like Kyle, Varible Penguin and Jin all have made names for themselves by putting out beautiful product, but all started by selling cheap and practice. Now if you commission Kyle to do a Deadpool you know it going to be top notch because he has done and displayed it enough to make his name. For cheaper customs get someone just starting out.
Hope that helps X
