@@CraftyGecko Looking forward to seeing them. Really cool Peter 2 custom by the way. I just wish Hasbro would've released these 100% accurately to the movie from the start. But then again, we wouldn't get these custom videos on RUclips.
Wow, you absolutely killed it. That gunmetal looks stunning. Would love to see something similar on Andrew. What varnish do you use? It’s much cleaner than the one I’ve got :)
Your upgrade is spot on mate ,much more screen accurate , youve definitely got rid of the cheapish look it had and made it look like the figuarts version well done!👍
This is such a great video, I’ve been customizing for years now I manly add a lot of mods to Jakks pacific Sonic figures and others . I would love to see a tutorial on how to add toe articulation. 🙏🏾❤️
@@CraftyGecko It doesn’t matter I just want to know how to do it I can figure out the rest. 😅 but marvel legends would be nice, I want to do this on my Jakks pacific Sonic figures. 👍🏾
Very nice work, gotta love that deeper red. I'm honestly just jealous you were are able to get it at all, in Australia we don't have any way to get this set domestically.
@@CraftyGecko It's a toss-up. Sometimes shops carry items like this and other times we're left high and dry, amplified since we don't have a Hasbro Pulse store of our own. Seems like everywhere else in Asia like Hong Kong and Taiwan and Singapore are getting their own Hasbro Pulse site, but we're forgotten about. :v
It was such a pain but I ended up getting this set through a small business here in Australia in the end. I believe RobotKingdom was also shipping the sets here!
Thank you so much! That means a lot coming from you, I follow your work its great! Your headsculpts in particular are great, I've been meaning to pick up a hobie brown one but don't have the cash spare rn
I was really let down by the Tobey Spidermen figures that came from NWH. They all have such dumpy silhouettes and odd proportions. Your modifications atleast make the figure alot better than the standard release. Have you though of buying the KO of the old Spiderman 3 revoltech figure? Modifying that guy could make for an interesting video down the road.
The current releases do kind of suck. I'm looking forward to the mafex that was revealed at SDCC tho, that one looks perfect. I owned the revoltech at one point but sold it because the articulation really bothered me
Well, since you're so let down by the NWH Tobey figures that have come out, you still have 2 options left. Mafex has revealed their prototype NWH Peter 2 figure. And the hot toys Peter 2 figure is still to come this year. Hopefully one of those will satisfy you.
@@danielmontero8200 haha Id have to sell a kidney to get a hot toys anything. what I might end up doing is just waiting for NWH hype to die down before buying another old toybiz figure. I grew up with those guys and Id love to own one again.
I would recommend doing a test on a less important figure to you before doing it on the 3 pack. I tested my ideas on broken figures so I wasn't risking my new ones
This is great! You fixed pretty much every problem about him, except I think his hips are rly wide and over all the proportions are abit fat, though no much you can do about that
Thank you! Yeah I didn't want to get too much into resculpting, there's a point where it stops being a marvel legends anymore and I still want to keep it somewhat close 😅
Amazing work once again!just want to ask where can you get those steel bits for the boots and toes and what size?might try this but really nervous to do it
I did a special effects course at university so most of it is old dupplies from my projects but you can get them off of ebay or amazon. The smaller one is 1.6 mm but 1.5 would work just fine. The bigger one is 3mm
Your toe articulation is pretty clean, i love my renew your vows spidey but the toe articulation kinda likes to spread out, not sure if thats the best description, but yours ended up almost better than theirs. Great job all around its a shame they cant get things rigjt the first time
Overtime yes. There's no permanent way to prevent it, even big brands like SH figuarts have that problem. But you can slow it down by using a matt lacquer to seal the paint
@Garzilla_4247 no problem. There are some ways you can prevent paint rub permanently but it would require using resin over the top of the paint and basically just creating another layer of plastic over the paint bit it's way more hassle than it's worth
Hey, I hope you’re well. I live in the uk, and would be interested in either sending my tobey in for a custom job (same as the one in the video) or purchasing your actual figure. Would you consider any of this? Sorry to sound so forward, but I think you’ve done a brilliant job.
There's small details that really make the difference. Like a darker blue, the lenses needing to be closer together, the red needing to be less orange, gunmetal weblines etc
How many action figures has Hasbro made at this point? And they still can’t grasp the concept of how to properly incorporate a dumbbell joint in the neck or just choose not to implement it correctly. Large ball needs to be seated up higher in the neck and then a smaller ball going into the head and you’ll have full range.
I've tried that on other figures and it wears down over time because it's such a constant moving part. If I were to do it I would need to use an industrial strength lacquer to protect it
I'm not sick of Spider-Man videos just yet. I'll keep watching until I can watch no more.
Perfect because I have a few to come yet
@@CraftyGecko Looking forward to seeing them. Really cool Peter 2 custom by the way. I just wish Hasbro would've released these 100% accurately to the movie from the start. But then again, we wouldn't get these custom videos on RUclips.
@danielmontero8200 thank you! Yeah it is a shame but at least I get to make fun stuff
@@CraftyGecko You're welcome. And yeah, it's true. There's a fun factor to seeing customizers fixing figures.
@@CraftyGeckowhere I struggle is that my paint still runs off even with matt varnish
great paintjob, look straight out of the raimi trilogy
Thank you! That's the aesthetic I was going for
Wow, you absolutely killed it. That gunmetal looks stunning. Would love to see something similar on Andrew.
What varnish do you use? It’s much cleaner than the one I’ve got :)
That you so much! I plan on doing andrew for next week's video.
I used Montana varnish for the matt coat
Your upgrade is spot on mate ,much more screen accurate , youve definitely got rid of the cheapish look it had and made it look like the figuarts version well done!👍
Thank you so much! I've actually got another upgrade video coming out tomorrow, I gave it a few more upgrades
BRO THAT LOOKS AMAZING! BRAVO!! BRAVO!!!!
Thank you so much!
@@CraftyGecko no problem dude!
Now this much work just makes Shf Tobey that more worth it. Great work! ML really dropped the ball twice with tobey
Thanks! They did, im holding out for the mafex
This was so good! The end result was amazing, especially the repaint. New sub!
Thanks so much!
My man you are too underrated hope you blow up in the future 👍🏼
Thank you so much! Hopefully one day
Also hopefully not literally
Looks great, I could almost confuse this with the SHF figure!
Thanks!
Its almost like they made the color way off to not take away any credits from toybiz spiderman 2 figures. Great custom!
Thanks! Yeah maybe
By the way was it a black wash or brown wash you used?
@jamiecatalan it was brown, you want something on the same colour spectrum.
This is such a great video, I’ve been customizing for years now I manly add a lot of mods to Jakks pacific Sonic figures and others . I would love to see a tutorial on how to add toe articulation. 🙏🏾❤️
Thank you so much! Adding toe articulation on which figure?

@@kingscustoms I do show it in this video, I show a slightly different side to it in the video coming out this Sunday too
@@CraftyGecko Oh great I’m looking forward to it. 🙏🏾😁
@@kingscustoms I've just posted a short explaining this one a little more like instructions
Since I was little I have always liked Spider-Man 🤘🏻
Nice!
@@CraftyGeckoif you want we can be friends and hi i'm from puerto rico 👋🏻😁🇵🇷
Excellent custom!!! All that's left is a Spider-man 2 head sculpt 🥹
Thank you! I would love to add that at some point
Wow that is truly beautiful. That’s worth $90 on its own lol. Fantastic job!!!
Thank you!
Very nice work, gotta love that deeper red. I'm honestly just jealous you were are able to get it at all, in Australia we don't have any way to get this set domestically.

you’re giving me the confidence to completely destroy my 3 pack🥲

Que gran trabajo, se ve de maravilla con las nuevas articulación y pintura ❤
muchas gracias

I tried the black wash technique my legends Spider-Man. I think it looks better, but theirs a lot more shading and tone in the colours as a result.
Yeah it brings out detail
Your toe articulation is pretty clean, i love my renew your vows spidey but the toe articulation kinda likes to spread out, not sure if thats the best description, but yours ended up almost better than theirs. Great job all around its a shame they cant get things rigjt the first time
Thank you! It is a shame that a company do big will have issues like this
You killed it bro nice ass job.
Thank you!
Omg this is nicccceeee I’m going to do this when ever I get my three pack ❤
You could always do it to the single release?
Amazing video! btw how do you avoid paint rub or paint coming off?
Thank you! You would have to be a tiny bit more careful with it but the matt paint I used is durable enough to withstand posing
wonderful video
Thank you!
I would just throw some washes, paint the lines, the spider logo gun metal, and maybe the eyes if I’m brave enough lol.
I didnt even touch the eyes, I was too sick of it after doing the webs
I do want to see how you would do the articulation toes on Andrew
That will be my next video so stay tuned
@@CraftyGecko nice
Fair enough, this is and exquisite specimen
Thank you!
Excellente améliorations
🕸
🤟
Gracias!
I'M SO SICK OF THE SPIDER-MAN VIDEOS (I fucking love you you're doing great)
Haha thank you so much!
Do the legs scuff the paint when you move them? If so how do u prevent that
Overtime yes. There's no permanent way to prevent it, even big brands like SH figuarts have that problem. But you can slow it down by using a matt lacquer to seal the paint
@@CraftyGecko Tru well I appreciate the feedback

wish i have that kind og patience of customizing like urs
Thank you, its taken me many years
@@CraftyGeckoi got an idea on how to cut it tried to hot blower or hot water make it easier to cut but using surgical blade it cuts like butter
cool
Thanks!

Hey, thank you so much, I could customise yours if that works for you? Send me a message on Instagram and we can get it sorted
@@CraftyGecko thanks for getting back to me, mate. Ok, I’ll check out your page and drop you a message. Cheers!
i was wondering the same great video!
Thank you, if you message me on Instagram we can go over it there
What did you use to paint the lines with ? I can’t find anything they fine to hit those lines without getting splotchy
I used a superfine pain brush but a needle works too
What Citadel blue did you use?
The gunmetal webs make all the difference. Just basic things that Hasbro missed.
There's small details that really make the difference. Like a darker blue, the lenses needing to be closer together, the red needing to be less orange, gunmetal weblines etc
@@CraftyGecko yeah, I just was able to pick up this figure and I'm already planning out a bunch of modifications and upgrades I need to do.
What are the Paints used in this video by anychance? did he re-paint the red?
Theyre citadel paints. I did a darker wash over the red
How many action figures has Hasbro made at this point? And they still can’t grasp the concept of how to properly incorporate a dumbbell joint in the neck or just choose not to implement it correctly. Large ball needs to be seated up higher in the neck and then a smaller ball going into the head and you’ll have full range.
It's very annoying when we've seen them do it well before. Comic war machine has incredible range at the neck for his design, why not continue it
Hi can i know what color did you use on the torso ? I want to try repaint mine too but i dont know which product or color to use
At 4:16 5:06 and 5:34 I show the paints. The blue one I mixed with black to get the right shade
@@CraftyGecko thank you! Sorry my english not great, i want to ask you about the pant color earlier but i know now 👍🏻👍🏻 gonna try to mix the color
No problem!
Wow! Hasbro should hire you how excellent you make action figures much better
Thanks so much!
0:06 Before
6:00 After
what kind of colors did you use?
I cant actually remember, I'm pretty sure I show most of them in the video
What blue did you use in the video?
I used a mix. I think I say in the video but it's just a mix of various blues and darker shades from citadel
This looks amazing! I'm surprised at how terrible the paint job on the original looked lol
Thank you! It's a shame they haven't fixed it for the secind release
Great video bro, i wanna ask what's the song you used for this video?
Thanks! I think it's "father in the forest" on filmora
@@CraftyGecko thank you very much 🙏🙏🙏
No problem!
What did you use for the red?
A citadel paint wash, I think I show it in the video, about 3/4 in
Bro what is that blue color brand name?
Its a mix of different citadel paints
😍😍😍
Thank you
What’s the pole for the boots where do you find them
It's just a metal rod from ebay, you could probably find one in a hobby store
@@CraftyGecko ok
What size are they
I use 3mm but anywhere between 2 and 5 should work
@@CraftyGecko ok thanks
I would’ve also painted the blue in his pits
I've tried that on other figures and it wears down over time because it's such a constant moving part. If I were to do it I would need to use an industrial strength lacquer to protect it
RAHHHHHH🦅
Haha
Can't upgrade Toby Spider-Man shoulders?
No I couldn't get them out of the socket, it felt like it would break

Can you make better the torso articulation?
I could but you would end up with a big hole in his chest and back. I will be upgrading the andrew garfield one for better torso though
