Welcome To FigureRealm

Hello all.
my main interest are Dr Who and DC comic figures and Star Trek (Original Series)
I do a little customising but mostly paint jobs....nothing too difficult

hope to interact with some of you real soon.

Hello! I'm new. I've been lurking here for a while. And I'm a member of some other Action Figure communities. Just thought I'd finally sign up and say hello because you all seem friendly.

Welcome Goth1K. Get your questions posted in custom help questions and info I'm sure there'll be plenty people offering advice.

Hey everyone,

New member here, I'm hoping to pick up some tips on creating custom figures as I have on e particular one in mind that I really want to do.

Welcome to the Realm!

Hi everyone! I've been using Figure Realm for a while now but I'm just now signing up for the message board. I'm on the Fwoosh as Calbretto in case anyone knows me there.
I'm happy to join the board here!

Hello this is Lisa here started collecting figures about April of this year. right now I only have a few, but plan on adding more ( a lot more).

Howdy! Name's Kyle, from Iowa, 37 years old, plays with toys. I figured I'd sign up for the forum since this site has the archive I use the most for non robot action figs. Anyone here I know from other forums? I saw 10 incher from AFA just quickly glancing around....

Hello everyone, new to the boards here. I have just started getting back into action figures and have some but not a lot at the moment. The ones that have caught my attention are the Secret Wars when I was a teen and was collecting the books with it as well. I had almost all the figures but I left and joined the military and have never seen them since. Now, in my early 40's I am looking to get back into picking up some of the old figures. I got most of my GI Joes from back then, but that is about it. I will have the Tower of Doom here soon that I bought for 5.54 on e-bay.
I also have Spawn figures, Star Wars figures and some of the Marvel Select figures. The bad thing is I have no real place to put them all. The good thing is I have them in protective containers. I will try and post my collection some time, but right now am just learning my way around here. Huge fan of Marvel, Star Wars and GI Joe (old school with the kung fu grip!) but do have some others that I have picked up through the years.

Hello everyone! I'm impactor on this board but I'm know as Spats/Ultramangoes on other action figure/toy boards!
Im new to customizing, just have one figure under my belt but I'm happy to move forward and learn much more in this hobby!
Thank you.

Welcome in sideburn .

Hey everyone, I'm Jordan! I can't say to that I've done much with figure creating just yet. I'd like to, I just havent' started yet. Which is kinda why I came to this forum for advice, and more. Now, I'm actually an avid spending for collecting figurines. I love collecting things other than figurines as well, such as basketball cards, and mini-busts, but figurines are definitely where it's at for me. I just graduated from high-school, about three weeks ago! So I guess that's one thing worth being mentioned. So yeah, hope to see everyone around!

I believe it becomes unlocked after 10 posts.

Is posting here smart when trying to convince this board I'm human, and thus unlock posting and PMing privileges? I certainly hope so!

Hello !
It took me some time to find where I could introduce myself, as it is the rule on all forums, but at least here I am.
I never meant to collect figures with some structured intention, but I must admit that over the years (I am 64) I have gathered what can be a kind of collection. (rather small one on fact) of somewhat interesting, strange or unusual plastic representations of (more or less human) beings.
As most (nearly all) other forums about figures are dedicated to one or two "main intentions" in collecting, as military, or historical, or fantasy figures, what makes me feel out of context, I ended up here.
The surprising thing is that when I wanted to contribute by posting an answer to a question, and also trying to post a topic, the "system" forbade me to place links and even pictures.
I guess the reason is to prevent spam, but I do not see how I can post a sufficiently explicit or interesting message without any link or picture, and I am surprised, as this is the first time I encounter such a rule on a forum. I know some others probably have to spend time deleting some 50 spammers or more every day.
So, despite the apparent great interest of this site and forum I'm currently stuck in silence, unable to contribute.
Thank you for having read this last message I'm sending, hoping it won't be lost somewhere in the intergalactic space.

Kind regards.

Redman.

PS: what can I do to be allowed to post with links or pictures ? If you force me to pass an examination on Star Wars or any other known series of adventures, I will fail

Hi guys an Girls my names Steve im from the UK and the Turtles have pulled me back to small scale action figures.
Collected all the original Marvel legends up to series 6 complete then started to buy the odd ones from the series after that. I only recently sold them off but im no looking at the cool customs that are coming out and they really get my creative juices going. Allways loved Hulk stuff as my background is bodybuilding/weight training.
Have some figures for sale and looking for some planet hulk figures 6" in any condition ?
Im into 1/6 figures as well but increasing prices have stung me. Don't know what it is with ACTION FIGURES but have allways loved themin everyshape and form. The quality of sculpt and paint have just gotten better and better over the years. Toybiz mattel mego etc I have collected them all at one time or another. Hope to get some dios made up soon and crack open some long forgotten hulks. Heres to shareing some stories on here soon all the best Steve.

cool...thanks ed!

I totally find this forum very warm and people have been nice so far. the only gripe I have is...I cannot post some of my wips. I wanted to post so I can improve my skills but I guess ill just have to post somewhere else
You should be fine now mate, we have a post limit to protect us all from spammers and other none desirable images. I'm sure you've past that limit now so just upload your wips to a hosting site such as photobucket then paste the IMG link in the forums. Let me know if you're still having trouble.

I'd love all the stuff you mentioned and you're in good company here bud, there's a fair few 80s kids round here as well as a healthy smattering of other decades....... welcome

Hi. Glad to be here!

I've been a toy collector since I was a kid in the 1980s. I'm 34. My first love was Star Wars, then Voltron and then G.I. Joe, with a smattering of other stuff in the mix (Gobots, Silverhawks, Real Ghostbusters, etc)

I work as a video and multimedia producer in the real world, and in my spare time I also run a web channel and Facebook portal devoted to toys and socializing with other retro-toy collectors.

I'm currently trying to collect some odds and ends in M.A.S.K., a few figures/toys from Wheeled Warriors, a piece here and there in Kenner's Raiders of the Lost Ark line, and I also need a front cannon for a Buck Rogers starfighter! HAHA! Eventually I plan to move on to RoboForce.

'Sup dude, just had a glance at your customs, nice work I think sabes is my fave

hello in there!!! been lurking in the forum...time to introduce myself.....pls do take a look at some of my customz as well

Welcome to the forums ?, hmmm? Now maybe the riddler or the question for an avatar, or maybe something entirely unrelated, like my screen name and avatar.

hello there! I've been a member of the site for a while now but I thought it was about time to get into the forums too, so here I am

(I should probably look for and avatar now)

Humble? You must have forgot I'm here. ScScrew humble

Welcome LORD MARVEL of possible toyark fame, enjoy our humble corner of the net

hey man glad to have you. Same Lord Marvel from Toyark?

Whats good everyone..my name is Armando..aka LM
I've been collecting toys since 1997. Stars Wars was my first collection and will always be but I stopped due to so many repacks. So I started collecting Marvel Universe and Marvel Legends and havent stopped. I do a few customs but they are for my personal collection. I will contribute to this great site and hope to learn some new skills from the members on here.

And we all hope to see it , welcome aboard buddy!!

I suppose my first post should have been here to introduce myself haha. Anyway, my name's Wayne and I've been into customizing figures since about 2008 or 2009. I've lurked around for a few years studying all the great customs you guys post. (This has been my go-to place for inspiration ever since I first got into customizing.) As far as customs go, my personal preference is horror movie characters but lately, I'm branching out into select video game and other film genre characters as well. I hope to share some of my custom work with you guys in the near future!

Welcome! I am sure you will have a great time here! What video games do you play? Any Mario Kart? I have been trying to get someone to play with for a while now! I need someone new to beat !

Hello, peeps. I'm MDVillarreal. I saw a link to this site from another member and decided to check it out. Outside of collecting action figures, I do a lot of artwork (comic book style) and play video games.

Welcome to the site! I too am a big Star Wars and Sci-Fi fan, ordered the new AVP this week so I can see it! Can't wait! I am guessing you saw the Avengers? I have seen it twice now and am gonna see it again on Friday if I have time, one of my all time favorite movies! I definitely reccomend getting the Walmart Avengers if you can, they are much better that the ML waves in my opinion. Hulk is beast! The 3/34" Avengers line isn't bad either, could have been much better and more paint consistent. Sorry about the rambling , anyway welcome to the Realm!

Greetings! After I heard such great stuff about this forum/site from a member of Tron-Sector I could not resist! I had to join!
Glad to be here.

Anyway my interests are action figure customizing (why I am here!) and collecting the figures from/watching sci-fi movies.
Stuff like Marvel, Star Wars, Star Trek, Tron, etc.

Current favorite movie/collecting point is The Avengers, but as new great/great for collecting movies come out my sights change. But they never really leave the past favorites.

hi everybody, some of you may know me from other like minded forums under the same screen name. my buddy shapp suggested me stopping by

Thought I might let you know that my current projects are my Iron man armor redesign,nightwing,my oc prometheus and batman

Whats up guys, I'm new to the site, name is John (I'll settle for Maximus haha), I'm not the most avid of collector, but I dabble here and there if I see something I like. Mostly its been Starting lineups and Mcfarlane figures, but if it looks cool to me I buy it (Gears of War and Halo series were sweet).
I'm def. into videogames and movies of all kinds. I think that pretty much sums it up ha ha. Ill cya around the site.

thanks everyone! it is REALLY great when people make you feel welcome!

I found this site by Google... I love 1/6 figures and want to customize them...my first "project" is a Firefly/Serenity series with all the main characters plus some little known ones (or not shown as much...a Reaver is the first!). just wanted to say thanks to everyone who does post (for the ideas) and I hope I can offer something to the board!

Hi, Incom! Yeah, I made that one. Will post my stuff here as soon as I'm able to.

Good to have a fellow Dutchman on board, Tim

You made that Cochese from the Sabotage video, right? Saw it at the Tank, so when you're able/allowed do post it here as well

Hi all,

Tim 121RVC from the Netherlands here.
I've been a G.I.Joe (ARAH only) customizer for almost 6 years now and I've been lurking here for a while now. I try to give my customs the original look. This doesn't involve any washes, shadows etc so that might sound/look a bit dull to some of you, but that way my figures blend in with my original G.I.Joe collection. I've done some non-Joe themed customs in ARAH style too, you'll see them here as soon as my posts are / account is approved by the moderators.
I found this site by accident, but I'm glad I did. I like the large number of differently themed custom contests over here and ofcourse all of of the customs themselves too. Really inspiring stuff.
I also like(d) the tutorial pages, but they seem to have disappeared?

Other interests are comics, movies, football (soccer) and games.
