Black Series Stormtrooper Comparison
Просмотров 2,9 тыс.4 года назад
I said it wasn't going to be a review, but it ended up being a quasi-review anyway... Mostly, though, it's a comparison between the original Black Series Stormtrooper figure and the newly-released "Mandalorian" version of the Stormtrooper.
Genius!!!!💯
Thanks a lot!! Now i can make my Fusion Suit Samus neck ball joint!!
bro I really needed this because I started a custom gargoyles figure with the 3D printed head and I was like yo, this cavity is huge. I tried it with Claire. I don't like it, but you have just helped me out more than you know. Thank you so much, man.P.S I love the way your commentary is you're f*****, hilarious
I wonder if this method would work on TMNT knockoffs, and putting them back after a repaint?
Hey I bought a figure and right out of the package the pin arm joint thing did just what you said. The plastic went out a bit, so I was wondering how do I fix it?
@user-Monke556 soak it in really hot water for a minute to soften it, then pinch it together with your fingers while running it under cold water for 60 seconds. The hit water makes it soft, the cold water hardens it, so you can usually reshape things that way.
The plastic in my figure in @1:17 is deformed from factory and theres a piece of plastic that looks like its blocking the pin from passing through. How do i fix the plastic and get the pin inserted
@AndrewJacobs-tp9zr hard to say for sure without being able to see it, but usually excess plastic can be trimmed away with a hobby knife. You could post a photo on one of the Facebook customizing groups and get a better answer I expect.
I use wooden skewers ($5 for pack of 100) to push the pins out. Metal can still damage/blemish a pin head.
SO HELPFUL! Thank you, this method worked flawlessly for me. Thank you!
What about a pinless knee joint?
Pinless MLs can't be disassembled.
I'm definitely going to try this. Thanks!
Underwear is the key of all this process, really inspire me. Thankyou bro 😄
Hoho !!! 🫵😲
Great tip and great sculpt
Thanks for the tutorial! Have you used nuln oil on your figures at all? I just picked up some republic commandos and wrapping my head on how to make them look better!
@Stormnorman15 I use Nuln Oil and Agrax Earthshade on smaller things, not on a full figure. I find they darken light colours a little too much (and they're four times the cost of the paints I used in this video).
a good substitute for glue would be uv resin
One thing I do is hit the areas where the hot glue touches the inside of the head with super thin CA glue and let it wick in giving the hot glue a stronger bond so there is less chance of it separating if you take the head off more than a few times. Use a scalpel or plastic tooth pick/ glue loop to drop the glue so you don't get any CA on your paint job, it will ruin it!
Would air dry clay work just as well as hot glue?
No. The reason the hot glue works is that it remains a little flexible after it dries - I don't believe air dry clay would.
@@davidwhale8146 Thanks!
I can't put it back in😐
Make sure you heat up the leg again and that you're putting the narrow end in first.
@@davidwhale8146 I did this a few time but this figure the hole doesn't aline and the peg have the same size on both end so I couldn't put it back in, and than I messed up when heating and it melted 😭
I'm having the same problem with movie stormshadow. Pegs are same in both ends but can't get back in my thumbs and fingers are raw now from trying. I've heard many times no go on it
@@Vander101 any updates?
Being stationed on Dagobah is no joke!
Great job and thanks for the info
Cool tip! Thank you for making this video.

have ever work with Final Faction Figurs
valeo u gota be ritch
Does supper glue work or must it be hot glue?
Do NOT use superglue, you will fuse the joint. The reason hot glue works is that even when it hardens it still remains slightly pliable. Superglue does not.
Silicone could give you a better result.
This is great thank you 🙏🏼 can I ask where the knight action figure comes from also please ?
No problem. The knight is the Red Shield Knight figure from a line called Mythic Legions. They get very expensive on the secondary market, so if you're looking to get in on the line, you'll want to get the latest stuff or even preorder. A markup of 300% or more above retail is not unusual on the secondary market.
Excellent solution sir! Thank you 👏🏾😁
A touch of paint here and there an looks amazing. Thanks for such an informative tutorial
Nice video question does this work on g.i. Joe classified as well
Yes, it should work on any figure with pin joints.
Great video! I’m just building my very first ever custom action figure and this, save my life! The force is strong with you my friend! Thank you so much!!!
IIIII ain't got no boddyy....(Two things you need: a head and a body)
Why is there an opening/hole in the ball joint? Is it for easier insertion?
I tried this and had to cut a bigger, rounder opening to have the head be able to swivel 'safely' and because I still want to be able to take off the head from time to time. But it's a great tip. Thank you.
Nice to see you still playing with modifying action figures. I miss it at times. But just no time and space for it at the moment. Ugh, I still have so many tubs of Apoxie Sculpt. 😞
This is a great tutorial and the results are amazing. I really want to try this out now.
Ill be trying this with some wwe heads for sure!
Interesting!, thanks
the sealant do you just spray whole fig??even when paintin certain area's??
hate the tvc female's, they makin em their own toy line pretty much, so you have the tvc 3.75 line, and the 3" line, bo katan and fennec and vel could have been awesome, but for some stupid reason made em half size
i actually used the black widow head to make mara jade, might upgrade it to shea head, but picked widow becuz she is who i picked to be mara, in my "head canon" if you will
"want soft underwear becuz do not want wrap...."leia said your crazy, metal is the way, or go home
This action figure pin just fucking declines to go through the joint
I want to do this on my transformer figures but I’m scared I can’t transform them
As long as you don't get the paint in the joints, you should be fine. But an alternative you could look at is Gundam Markers to do panel lining. It's less "dirty" than this weathering, but still makes all the details pop.
Yes...i see
I use the same process, but instead of water, I use my wives hair dryer. It's quicker and you don't have to worry about having wet plastic slipping out of your hand, and accidentally slicing your hand open
Thanks for this. Been wanting to fix some of hasbro’s mistakes on a few of my figures but been nervous to damage them. This is super helpful
Where can I buy these
Awesome video. Thanks. I want to dirty up a Hot Toys Scout Trooper, and I think this will work great for his armor. Now I just need a technique to fade his pants and undersuit.
Tamiya makes some weathering powders that are perfect for weathering fabrics. I use them a lot on soft goods.
