- How to Dye Action Figures - Tutorial
I thought I would do a tutorial on how to use Dye when customising action figures.
I often get asked if I use this method on Marvel Legends and Star Wars Black Series.
I do, but only on occasion and this is the method that I use when I do.
Hope it helps....

Great vid! Very informative
Try one Ryan see if it works do a jawa
Do you think they would have been darker if you put them back in for another hour? Also can you store the dye solution once it is cooled and re-use it again?
Has anyone tried to use saran wrap with tape over it to block off areas you don't want dyed? I was thinking that could alleviate tape residue on the figure.
Can you mix colors for this brand of dye? I want to dye a figure a nice dark brown, but they only make chocolate brown in synthetic. I haven’t tried the chocolate brown yet, but I’m taking a guess that it won’t be dark enough for my purposes.
Hi, one question, is that pot of dye usable for another batch of actions figures after an hour, or at that point is it already spent?
I kept this pot going for over an hour
Lol was gonna dye my Astral Strange also when searching this video.
He works quite well
@@JacobsToys unfortunately, the dye is very hard to find in Asia.
Do you think masking off areas would work to not let as much dye through in certain areas? I imagine there would be potential bleeding through but I'm thinking of a liquid mask as oppose to sticky tape.
I'd do a test run on something you wouldn't mind it failing on first but that may very well work so long as the dye/water can't soak through
Would this work on a figma genji??
Great video! Are you able to paint over the dye figures and will the paint stick?
I believe you have to modge podge first, then spray with clear enamel. Try it on a throwaway figure and see how it goes.
@@BenGetItIn I washed my figure with soap after the dye dried up and took whatever dye residue was left on the figure. Then I painted over it, the paint sticks well.
@@82heartofalion did you prime your figure before painting or just paint on top of the dye? And did the dye leak to the painted colors? I’m planning to dye my figure black and paint white on top but I hear people says that dye leakage is very common 😢
How are the figures holding up? Does the dye leech out? Is paint OK over the dye?
I know in my experience I’ve had the dye bleed through some of my paints. I’ve been looking for tips to prevent cause even with clear coat it still happened
Any tips for dying old school O ring gijoes?
Did you ever make that Days Of Future Past Wolverine? I'm looking to dye a Marvel Legends Paladin figure, which is mostly purple, all black. Any tips?
I did, check my IG, but made him bu painting..
Paladin should take to black pretty well
@@JacobsToys been looking but can't find it could you post a link?
Is there a risk of the dyed parts fading over time? If so, how can we prevent them from fading?
You said, you couldn't dye a black figure bright yellow, makes sense, have you tried dying a black figure brown before? I've never done any customizations before, so I'm just wondering if this could possibly be an option, thanks!
Think the rule is you can’t go up shades, only down if that makes sense
@@JacobsToys can I dye a Caucasian body bright yellow?
@@JacobsToys maybe white colors you can .
I have some Iron Man blast accessories that I’m wanting to dye red, but they are translucent and I don’t want to lose that element. Any tips?
Paint or dye, would loose the translucent element I would imagine. To be honest I’ve not attempted it.
Nice video, say, does the black color stay permanently or it wears off with time?
I’ve not experienced that but I do give them a finishing coat to seal them
Do you have to remove paint from the figures before dying?
Depends on the figure but generally yes, just to be safe. I tried dying a Gwen pool figure and several parts turned out to not dye at all or very little due to the paint. But it can also make and interesting effects, either way be better to remove paint for safety.
What do you do with the water afterwards?
I pour it away in my drain outside.
Water will stain stuff so be careful
Out of curiosity is this possible to do with an action figure that has plumbers epoxy?
I was wondering this as well. Specifically green stuff! Would really appreciate any thoughts on that
Is it positive to dye resin prints?.
I’ve used it on resin
Does this stain the sink when you pour it out? I mean what was that like? 😂
Nah it’s fine as long as you have a tap running and pour it straight down the plug…
@@JacobsToys now I’m seeing about fading and bleeding after dying… If you seal with matte clear coat after dying does that stop that?
Vid could've been like 2 min
