    You see, Ryan, I've always wanted to make my own custom LEGO minifigs, but I never knew what options were available. I even made my own yellow Daredevil with pieces that I have collected.

      What pieces did you use for that daredevil? Just out of interest.

      @@spacetimecontinuum6546 I used the torso piece of the Netflix Daredevil that my uncle gave me from MegaCon a few years ago, and I used two golden arms from Aquaman and replaced the tan-colored hands with Iron Man's red hands, and as for the legs, I used an atlantean legs that came with the Justice League set, and finally for the head, I used the head of the Reverse Flash. It may not look exactly like Daredevil's yellow sit, but I can only use my imagination.

      When I visited the LEGO offline store, I saw them using a printer to print various different minifigures. It was only later that I learned that it was a UV printer. Would you like me to look into it

    Hi Ryan,
    You didn’t need to remove the left legs printing! All you needed to do was find another light greyish-blue/sand blue left leg, then you would just have to swap it out! Also, it’s not very usual for it to crack, but you just need to be careful.

    • @RyanSevelVlogs
      @RyanSevelVlogs  2 года назад +5

      Very true! I guess I wanted to show off how to remove extra print if you needed to. But yeah, replacement parts are always an option!

  • @Moss_piglet13
    @Moss_piglet13 2 года назад +7

    I tend to like to stick with purist minifigure parts so I use yellow skin tones for most of my custome minifigures since they have the most variety of faces but I do like to use flesh tones sometimes aswell as I like to have my city be diverse in figures with a variety of different skin tones and the way I see it is that bright Lego yellow is just another skin tone in the Lego world

  • @Jdslimedburn

    Very interesting,I might keep this in mind when making my own sigfig of myself like you did. Though I have a feeling you
    could do this with minidolls as well, though the process of cusomizing them
    probably will be slightly different because the minidoll figure is designed way differently than a minifigure's
