Hey everyone!!! I am looking to create a custom ZORA LINK figure from The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask N64 game. My major problem is finding a figure to use as a host body. I want a figure that has the best articulation I can get. I would like to use a Marvel Legends figure, but I hate those wierd ball-jointed hip joints that they need to rotate the ball to either move the legs back and forth or side to side. I like the DCUC figures for not having that inconvenience. Here are some pics to give you an idea of what I am trying to accomplish!
thats exactly why I was asking this, because he is made of a VERY soft plastic, virtually rubber! Would he be easier to mold sephiroth? then make him with a more rigid plastic?
be careful spray painting if it's a soft plastic. A lot of action figure plastics now that are TFs are really soft. Oddly primer works on some of them to stop it from getting sticky. If he comes wiht a part that you can sacrifice as a test I'd do that.
well, I do mind risking the figure, lol! Well, I've been debating if I want to learn how to mold. So Im thinking if I can sculpt and design all the pieces to the figure, I can mold my very own then and create as many as I need until I get the proper procedure down for painting and maybe even molding colored plastic, saving me some time and materials!
Hmmmm, can u show me a pic of this spiderman figure? I also guess my next question would be, can I get away with spray painting the figure the light blue? Or does the plastic not allow the paint to dry like some figures do?
I had no idea the figure cost that much! I still think the animated spiderman black would make a great base figure but I don't have any ideas of what head to use. Maby one of the Dragon Ball figures heads they are schulpted the same way.
If I could get my hamds on that Zora figure I would! I found one on ebay a few months ago but I was outbidded over $200 and I was just in a bidding frenzy. I NEVER want to spend that on a figure so I figure I will make one! Otherwise that would be a great idea if I wanted the extra articulation
That's not a bad idea at all either! I figure that killer moth has a head that pointy and also guides for links sideburns it'll help. Plus with KMs wings I can mount one on each arm for the fins. Since this is only my 3rd custom I'm trying to make things as simple as possible til I get as good as you guys!
I would've guessed a blank SMC Spider Man body, it's plain, no detail, and pretty articulate, all you need is sculpting, but I think Killer Moth would fit perfectly with some elements already there.
Well I think I may have found my ideal base figure. I believe I will use the DCUC Killer Moth figure. His head is already similar and his wings will work for his fins!!!
not bad! but id rather haave a figure that has actual hands, a little bit more of a muscular body, and boots, especially at the feet, Id rather have to only sculpt the boot tops
Please wait...
