["How To" Episode 3] CUSTOMIZING 1/6 SCALE FIGURES--LESSON 1: Choosing Heads, Necks, Bodies

This "how to" video is my first lesson which describes the different types of 1/6 scale heads, neck attachments, and bodies to give you a basic working knowledge on how to customize 1/6 scale figures. I show you in this video how to change a head for a U.S. army paratrooper I customized a number of years ago. The high end bodies are TBLeague (Phicen Limited) bodies. The universal bodies are Lmzauet MX02-A and B bodies (muscular male, different shades of skin). These bodies have great articulation as well. The muscular body with stiffer joints is the Emulated figure produced by ZC Toys. Here you trade flexibility for a much more improved muscular look (upper body).

I recently purchased the universal body you used. I wasn’t sure how to attach heads and use the neck attachment… until I came across this video. Thanks so much!! 👍🏻

I buy all hot toys figures or sideshow collectibles and they all have heads that have no neck joints and pivot on a ball joint, I never take their heads off their bodies to swap them out as they have custom outfits per figure, I do have the TTM-19 body that you have the Jake Gyllenhaal head for and I really like him for a fashion figure he can wear just about everything he's got the slim built muscular body, I did buy a Phicen body that I was going to use although I found that the silicone bodies are too difficult to put clothes on and the silicone splits at the joints. My hot toys figures have a lot of articulation and I have many of them from Star Warsbto marvel figures and they all stay dressed in their original bodies, I have 2 figures that I change clothes on that live in a three shelf cabinet that each shelf is decorated and furnished with 1/6th scale furniture. One floor is the bedroom and office one floor is the living room and dining room and the lower floor is the mechanics workshop the cabinet has glass doors to keep it dust free and I spent a lot of time and money decorating the rooms with perfect scale items. In the bedroom their is a large wardrobe that is open that has drawers on one side and a hanging clothes bar with shoe racks on the other side, my figure is posed looking into the closer which is filled with his outfits I take a lot of pictures of him in different outfits and he has a lot of jewelry and accessories he also has a motorcycle and a Hummer that he can drive and be posed in. I belong to two 6th scale collector groups on Facebook the sixth scale figure collector group and the Mos Eisly star wars 6th scale figure collectors group. I have my emphasis on Star Wars collectible figures and so they take up the most space and there are two long shelves in my office where they all pose as well as across the top of three bookcases I only have two female figures, Princess Leia from the empire strikes back and golden armour wonder woman who is still in her shipping box. I have a number of other porcelein dolls of different sizes that are Al, women and a large Bud male body doll that is dolfie size which I had custom made from South Korea I also have a number of 1/12 scale dolls that live in a very large Victorian three story Queen Anne house that I started collecting for when I was in high school and it is extremely realistic with thousands of dollars worth of museum quality miniatures and the whole house is electrified and quite elaborate. I enjoyed watching you explain all the different neck styles which I had to learn about the hard way luckily when I bought my two dolls that I dress up they had heads on them and I haven't needed to change them out.

the other way is use a hair dryer to warm it up and soften the joint

Thank you! I needed this video.

This was utterly fascinating, informative, and helpful. I am so glad this video popped up in my random recommendations because you are a hidden gem. Everything I've wanted to learn about sixth scale figures but none of the more popular channels covered, is here. I really like how you present the videos, talking clearly and particularly how you layout the figures on the table and then go into depth about each facet. For example when talking about heads you showed the different types, those with a neck and those without, and even deeper, you showed inside the neck to point out some have a guide, some do not. I've never seen anybody else explain things so well. Normally they just say "and you pop the head on" and you just see them force it down and that's it. I genuinely found everything you had to say truly interesting. I have so many questions but am going to watch your entire back catalogue of videos in order to see if I can find answers there before I trouble and bother you directly.

This video is so helpful! I thank you for making this video. I'm from Vietnam and I'm still young, so playing with 1/6 models with my children is very difficult. Luckily she made such instructional videos. They help me gain more experience from those who went before me. Sorry if my words and grammar are a bit silly because I'm still young so I can't use English fluently. Thanks you very much!
