SHENANIGANS in the Custom Toy Community!
Guys and Gals, you know I ain't about the drama in the collecting community - we're all grown-ups playing with toys here, so we shouldn't take ourselves too seriously, right? But I was alerted to something this morning that kinda got under my skin, so I gotta say something about it.
I am fully prepared for the legion of trolls who will inevitably descend upon me and my comments section, but I'm just speaking some no-BS truth here with nothing but positive intentions. So let's keep it friendly, let's keep it real, and let's all refrain from name-calling and mud-slinging, OK?

Slicing Articulated Action Figures for 3D Resin Printing
Просмотров 826Месяц назад
So I get asked pretty regularly for advice on how to print the action figure parts and pieces that I sell, specifically how I support them and slice them. I've always resisted the urge to do a tutorial video and instead pointed people to the many videos that already exist out there. The problem though seems to be that though there are plenty of resin printing tutorials out there, not many of th...

As I've said before, I'm a real bum when it comes to painting my own figures - I have a backlog of my own designs (and some from Trash Compactor and Vivid Motion too!) that I just haven't made the time to paint. So when a painter like Steven at Keepers Kustoms steps up to the plate to help me out...I'm more than happy to let him! Check out the figures he painted for me and if you'd like him to ...

Do You Know If Your 3D Printed Figures are Safe?

I've seen some disturbing photos out there lately that make me afraid that there are folks out there operating as print shops for fans, who are NOT taking resin printing safety precautions seriously.

Customers being exposed to toxic, uncured resin This i...

    I said the same thing, The Acolyte was like a Trek fans idea of what Star Wars should be. Jedi are like cops enforcing laws on every planet, investigating murders, detaining people, etc. Not to mention that lightsabers were like a last resort to this hand-to-hand combat that we've never really seen. I'd accept it as a lost art if it was more in tune with the abilities of a force user.

    • @funkymaclunkey
      @funkymaclunkey 2 месяца назад

      Never heard the 47 degree rule before - that sounds made up! :) The key I've found to reducing the support pocks is to adjust the side and penetration depth of the support tips to get the right balance between strength and minimal size. Try messing with the support tips!

    How is this not Illegal Bootlegging though?

    • @funkymaclunkey
      @funkymaclunkey 2 месяца назад

      Well I'm glad you asked! Honestly, those of us who make figures based on intellectual property owned by giant corporations do indeed operate in a 'grey' area. Generally, with the exception of some notoriously litigious IP owners, corporations that preside of popular franchises want to walk the line carefully between encouraging bootlegging and pissing off their biggest fans. Thus, there are a few rules that I follow to keep everything above board: 1. I don't use any logos, Star Wars or otherwise, on anything I make 2. I don't offer scans OR printed figures of anything commercially available. For instance, you won't catch me selling 3d files for any of the Hasbro Retro figures! 3. If Hasbro or another toy company releases a vintage style figure of a character, I won't offer it. That's one reason why I'm not making the main cast of the Acolyte. 4. If an IP owner asks me to stop selling something, I will do it immediately with no questions asked. We are operating under their watchful eye and they are within their rights to stop us at any time. Most importantly, high-level employees of Hasbro, Mattel, and other toy companies follow me and other creators on Instagram and engage with the custom figure community regularly. If they wanted to stop us they could, but instead they choose to encourage the fandom as long as everyone plays nice in their sandbox. Hope that helps!
