Anything is possible o__@

But you're going to have to get your name out there and everywhere! Make as many customs as you can and post them everywhere, sell on Ebay, promote yourself at your local comic shops, make business cards, you have to treat it like a serious business.

I think Kyle makes a living off it but I'm not 100% sure.

But than again his stuff is top tier work.

It's not really fair to use him as an example, he's not the norm, for some reason people just want to pay a ton of money for his stuff. Good advertising I guess?

Anyway, don't expect too much at first, but eventually you should be able to charge $100+ with no problem, assuming you get really good at it. People who pay a ton of money for a custom toy usually don't care what the cost is when commissioning a figure. It's like people shopping in Beverly Hills or extremely expensive stores, they don't care what the price tag is or how little they need it, just as long as they get something they like.
