By the way the real paint problem i think is in the red as it should be brighter, in the movie he looks so cool cause brightness, red is the hardest color to pull cinematically cause it either goes orange (warm light ) or purple (bluelight) perfect customs man, I did enjoy the full video
Thank you so much! The red is definitely a bit dull on the figures. I think Andrews was the closest figure to movie accurate but definitely still had some issues. I repainted the red on mine as a personal thing recently 😅
Thanks so much for the shoulder tip, im going to try it on tobey cause articualtion there is pretty much useless and i really would love that extra range
@@CraftyGecko yeah me neither and i was afrad to break it, the bicep was coming out first so i think I will need like two flat screw deivers presing at the same time to pull it of, its a special move that requieres skills only the confidence of having another safety figure can give you 😹
Yeah I'm probably going to try it now that I have 3 tobeys 😅 1 full custom, 1 dyed black ready for customising and one completely untouched for getting colour matches right
You should 3D print the missing hands that Hasbro didn’t put for the remakes of the no way home 3 pack, cause I would buy them for Andrew because I really want that figure cause I didn’t get the original and it sucks how they didn’t give him his full accessories for the remake.
Paint job looks good. How did you pop off the torso even with hot water I still can't pop off mine, by the way for Tamiya Acrylic paints I suggest thinning them with a drop of water to get the right consistency and become blobby.
Thank you, I show it in my first upgrade video, it took a lot of work, I had to use a rotary tool to reduce the walls. I used nail polish remover to thin down the paint, I would usually use acetone based but the stuff I used was acetone free so I don't think it works properly. Experiment gone wrong 🤷♂️
@@CraftyGecko yeah don't use acetone for Tamiya Acrylic paints you should use a drop of water to thin it down or use the Tamiya Acrylic thinner to thin it.
I accidentally scraped some blue paint while upgrading mine. Unfortunately couldn't get the torso off, but that's kinda whatever for now. Like I was saying I scraped the blue, but I recently got into painting warhammer and used the blue and black from the space marien starter set to almost perfectly match the blue of the figure.
I come back to this video from time to time because I love the articulation upgrades & how the blue turned out. I FINALLY have this figure, but not the tools to upgrade the articulation. I'm thinking of repainting the entire figure, the red sections, blue sections, webs & the soles. But I don't wish to ruin it with a bad paint job that ultimately feels sticky. I need some quality paint that's accurate to TASM 2, sticks well to the figure & isn't overpriced.
@@CraftyGecko Is citadel red paint good for repainting the entire TASM 2 Marvel legends figure? I ask because I want to make sure it will stick well to the figure, won't chip off so easily, won't feel sticky after drying & doesn't require too many layers. I want this to be the best custom of my life. I want to repaint the entire figure. This includes the red sections, symbols, blue sections, cobweb pattern & even the soles.
@@CraftyGecko Would you recommend the Tamiya Acrylic Mini X27 Clear Red paint for repainting the TASM 2 Marvel Legends Legends figure? Please respond as soon as you get a chance. It's a important question because I'm looking for quality paint at a affordable price, not settling for leeser quality this time. I need to make sure it won't feel sticky when dried, & won't require more than 2 coats max. Also what brand paint brushes would you recommend for painting thin web lines like the ones on the TASM 2 ML figure? I ask because I'm looking for paint brushes that won't be damaged within the first 3 days of being used, & will evenly distribute paint across the figure.
Yeah, normally I get bad comments about "damaging" the figures by doing too much, never thought someone use the n word over me not painting something blue 😅
So I’ve just bought thousand sons blue from my craft shop and I’ve attempted painting the figure but it’s too bright. Did you mix some black in the blue?
I'm going to attempt this mod soon on my own TASM2 Spidey I recently purchased. When it comes to dismembering him, are you able to just pop the pieces back into place or did you have to glue any of them?
Andrew Garfield is my favorite version of Spider Man and I can't wait to get the single release with the Andrew Garfield unmasked headsculpt plus I'm thinking of customizing the shade of blue.
@@CraftyGecko I don't mean to be a hassle or anything but the video you linked doesn't showcase how to remove the shoulder joint Great set of videos though-I really enjoy your content
@@CraftyGecko awesome, can’t wait to see it. Perfect timing with the single releases coming soon so I won’t mind modifying them. Is the butterfly joint loose? I remember some figures had loose ones after cutting the peg
The top of the boot isn't a straight line, it has a curve which means I would either have to cut more into the blue or it wouldn't rotate properly, cutting along the straight web line helps to keep it more seamless
Thank you, its a shame that people think its ok to throwing words like that around, in all honesty I don't think any aggression was warranted in the context but there's always going to be someone that take it too far

Thank you!
I really like your style of content, kinda relaxing.
Thank you! I try to keep a chill theme without being boring, it's a difficult line to walk so I'm glad you like it
Very relaxing, as is the narration
another quality video, bit late was waiting until I got the figure.
great work keep it up!
Thanks a ton!

I am actually looking into that at the moment!
Nice thanks for replying to my comment 😊
Can you explain how you separated the torso part.
I explained it in the first modification video I did: ruclips.net/video/ikOek3ahVGk/видео.html

May I ask what the model kit was called I wanna buy it too.
@@underwatercompany4187 It's the warhammer space marine starter pack. It comes with 3 marines, paint, and a brush

Thats great to hear! Hycote is great for primers and protective lacquers, I use tamiya and citadel for coloured paints
@@CraftyGecko Thank you so much, I appreciate that. Any chance those citadel paints are on Amazon for a affordable price?
I'm not too sure, I'm in the uk and get most of my stuff from warhammer shops in person

wow thats crazy someone got made enough to be racist over a figure smh anyway great video!
I understand having your own view but there's never need for racism or aggression
Thank you
Cool figure sad u have to do hasbros job but would never drop an n bomb over it
Yeah, normally I get bad comments about "damaging" the figures by doing too much, never thought someone use the n word over me not painting something blue 😅
If I close my eyes and listen, David Bowie pops up in my head 😂
You think I sound like David Bowie? 😅
@@CraftyGecko yes 😂
You should make the red a brighter shade to better match the film
I did debate that but it would mean repainting all the weblines and thats a hassle
So I’ve just bought thousand sons blue from my craft shop and I’ve attempted painting the figure but it’s too bright. Did you mix some black in the blue?
At 3:58 I show the black and silver that I used with the blue
Was curious do you just use wire for the toe articulation?
I have other videos on the toe articulation but it's a thin metal rod that runs through both parts
this should work with the newer release, right? if so thatd be great because im gonna pick that up over getting the 3 pack!
also someone said the n word over a figure?? thats absolutely insane and terrible 😭
Yeah it's the exact same by the looks of it
@@angel-zd1mk I know right
@@CraftyGecko alright! i’ll be sure to use these mods then!
I'm going to attempt this mod soon on my own TASM2 Spidey I recently purchased. When it comes to dismembering him, are you able to just pop the pieces back into place or did you have to glue any of them?
I just used some heat to reassemble them, no glue necessary
Nice fix
Thanks!
Andrew Garfield is my favorite version of Spider Man and I can't wait to get the single release with the Andrew Garfield unmasked headsculpt plus I'm thinking of customizing the shade of blue.
Hes my favourite too, I might even get the new release just for the headsculpt 😅
@@CraftyGeckoGreat👍🏻. Btw, the blue paint that you used, did you mix it up with other colors?
Yeah I show the mixes that I use in the video
The red is really darkish
what about the leg joints? ive seen people breaking their andrews and tobeys :/
This is the 3 pack version, the single releases are the ones with leg problems. My recent videos on the final swing suit cover how to fix these joints
Hey bro, could you please make a video explaining exactly how you removed the shoulder joint
There's already another video on the channel that was uploaded before this one that I think explains it more
@@CraftyGecko thanks man
@@CraftyGecko I couldnt find the video,could you maybe link it in a comment

@@CraftyGecko I don't mean to be a hassle or anything but the video you linked doesn't showcase how to remove the shoulder joint
Great set of videos though-I really enjoy your content
Would this same technique be usable on the friendly neighborhood Spider-Man as well?
Most of then would be yes,,I have a video modifying that one this week
@@CraftyGecko awesome, can’t wait to see it. Perfect timing with the single releases coming soon so I won’t mind modifying them. Is the butterfly joint loose? I remember some figures had loose ones after cutting the peg
I actually couldn't get the shoulder out to fix the butterfly, it wouldn't budge even with boiling water
Gecko que combinación de pintura usaste para hacer el color con el que pintaste el cuerpo?
I cant remember but it was citadel brand
So ur saying someone called you the n word over a shade of blue?
Not me, another commenter, but yeah mad right?
Why does the thousand blue looks soo bright on my end ??
I'm fairly sure I say I didn't end up using it because it's too bright
I wonder why you didn't just cut the top of the boot off instead of the mid of the boot?
The top of the boot isn't a straight line, it has a curve which means I would either have to cut more into the blue or it wouldn't rotate properly, cutting along the straight web line helps to keep it more seamless
i was brought up tought if you cant say something nice then say nothing at all
Thats a very good rule
Where did you get the other fist for the figure?
It came with it?
My fig only came with one fist tho
Did you get the single release?
@@CraftyGecko yeah
@@CraftyGecko omg I'm so so sorry I just realized that the video is on the 3 pack version, sorry
Man....somebody had to be racist over an action figure. I hope you don't get those kind of comments like that in the future
Thank you, its a shame that people think its ok to throwing words like that around, in all honesty I don't think any aggression was warranted in the context but there's always going to be someone that take it too far
how come the shoulders are so low?
I think that's just Andrew garfields proportions, he's quite lanky
Getting racist over le funny Spider-Man figure is crazy
I know right
Inky?
