- From start to finish, I go through the very chaotic and stressful journey of making a custom Nendoroid figure and explain the process as best as I can. Some stuff had to be cut for the sake of the video length, but I'm happy to answer any questions if you have any!

This has been 2 years in the making istg akjshdkjashd. Better late than never :'')
Really enjoyed making this figure and I can't wait to make more! (though my time is quite strained so we'll see when the next vid will even be). Until then you can follow me on my socials for a bit more "frequency" compared to here! Thank you for watching!

I'm so glad you included the fails and struggles. As a beginner it helps me feel like I'm not just bad at art
Art is subjective, that's what makes it so wonderful and personal to us all! I honestly never feel like my art is good enough and I perhaps never will - which is ok! :3 Improving is something that requires time and failures so we know how to do things better in the future! I choose to keep my mistakes in the video because I know I'm not alone in the experience and because it can be a source of comedy - since we all relate!
Thanks so much for watching! :'DD
This is one of the first nendroid customs I've seen that genuinely looks like an official nendroid. It's so adorable and includes even minor details!! I too am one of those people who's a perfectionist and really liked how you managed to bring all details of this character to a nendroid form. I hope you continue to post videos and grow as a content creator :D
That means so much! Thank you! ;w;
I am currently on hiatus due to university studies, but I definitely have more projects waiting for me to return to >:D
Thank you so much for watching! I'm glad you enjoyed the video and like the final result of the nendo! :''3
The sims were the only games I could complete as a kid, good memories on the WII
They're such treasures! I hope they have a comeback some day 🥺
This is a super cool custom nendo! I occasionally do customs on the side, and I always love seeing how other people go about making their custom nendoroids! A fun method I discovered to make faceplates symmetrical is that some nendoroid faceplates will have paint that fluoresces under uv light, and even after the paint is removed, the outline of where the eyes once were will still fluoresce, I use that outline as a reference point to mark out my new face!
Thank you so much! :"D
YOOO THAT'S SICK!!! No joke I just got a UV blacklight for a completely different project! So this is something I'll definately need to try! 👀 Thanks for the tip! ✨🙏
Your pain over your own perfectionism makes me feel seen lmfao 😂😂😂
Ayyy! It's such a curse at times🥴
I played this game series so much as a kid - you've really nailed her likeness, fantastic job!! Looking forward to seeing more videos from you : )
Thank you so much! 🥺🙏 I have my socials linked in the description as well if you want to see more in-between videos!✨ Thanks for watching :'' D
She's absolutely adorable! You nailed it! I love seeing MySims get love all this time later. Would love to see you take on more of the cast!
Same! I hope it's making a comeback!
I'd absolutely love to make more of the cast in the future! 🥺
@@biwibins If I could be so bold to make a suggestion, I'd love to see Maria or Lyndsay!
@@itsdamelonmanyall Yoooo! I'd LOVE to do Lyndsay, she's so iconic 😭
i loved this! reminded me of dollightful’s doll mod videos :D would love to see you do more mysims characters
She's one of many doll/figure customizers that inspired me to start making my own! I'm so glad you liked it :''3
Omg the whiplash I got from seeing that cosplay pic... I was obsessed with how good it looked when I saw it a few months ago! Imagine my surprise to see it was you. This custom is genuinely soooo cute I wish I could have one as well, DJ Candy's def one of the best characters in the game. Amazing job!
Omg really?! Yes that was also me akdjasd 🙈 That cosplay was so long ago - 2016!!! AAH!!
I love DJ Candy so much she's such an icon, which is why I've shown my love for her in different ways! And I'm so so glad you like her! She was a joy to create, kind of like revisiting my cosplay of her but at a teeny tiny scale 🥺
This is awesome! She looks great! I love to see more love for MySims, it was a smaller franchise but it's one I hold fondly. I remembering being 8 or 9 and played through MySims Kingdom over and over again. Good to see dedicated fans willing to make custom figures!
Thank you so much, I'm glad you like her! ;w; I completely feel you - we're a small community but the few times we cross paths and see others express their love for the franchise, it's very heartwarming and lovely! MySims deserves a comeback
😭
I grew up playing the MySims games too; it's so nice to see that other people also still love them! This is incredible, she looks absolutely fantastic!
Thank youuu!! I'm so glad you like her! :''D When I started making her I was sure she'd disappear into obscurity, but it's incredibly endearing to see so many people respond and share their love for the games!
This is so underrated! It turned out so good! Hope you're okay from the fumes, haha
Hahaha! And thank you!! :''D
Myyyy, you're just the coolest person alive, WE NEED YOU BACK--!1!!1!!1!
Your tutorial helped me out so so so much, I can't put in words how grateful I am-
The most talented figure maker on youtube I'm serious........GOOD LUCK WITH UNIVERSITY,,,,,,
What a sweet comment!! 😭🥺 I'm SO glad that this tutorial helped you with your own project! That's what I made it for! :''D The plan is to come back soon, but I don't know when exactly "soon" is because life keeps developing faster than I have free time to work on figure and toy projects 😩 But rest assured I haven't abandoned the projects!
I'm more active on my socials which are linked in the description, if you'd like to check me out there until the next vid! :3
Thanks again for your support!! 😊🙏
I really enjoyed this vid. You did an amazing job.
Thank you very much! 🥺✨🙏
oh my GOD, she is so freaking CUTE!!!!!!!!! The details are incredible, and the paint job is so smooth!!! I'm planning to customize some little blind box bjds, and this gives me a pretty good idea of what to expect for that project, thank you so much!!!!!!!!
Thank you so much! 🥺🙏 Good luck with your project, that sounds so fun! 👀
Next: Buddy nendoroid, Poppy & Violet nendoroid, King Roland Nendoroid, Chaz nendoroid
No promises! But Poppy and Violet would be really fun I think! 😊
ADORABLE. I’d like to own one of these
Thank you!! I'm so glad you like her!! :DD
OMG IT TURNED OUT SO GOOD!!!! mby one of the best customs i've seen.
Oh my goodness, thank you so much!! ;w; Apologies for the late reply aaaa! Thank you for watching :DD
I love my sims, you did an amazing job!!!! Do candy looks amazing and would love to see you make more characters!💜
She cane out so good!!! She looks legit!
My goodness! Thank you so much! :''D
omg shes so cute !!!! i played mysims agents as a kid,,,, love this !!!
Agents has GOT to be the best one in the series! It's such a shame they never made Agents 2 before it was shelved 😭
I love how she turned out! Super cute and so many good tips you shared, thank you. Also I think the gray thingies on the headphone cups are hinges?
I am so glad you like her!! ✨Thank you! :''D
Hinges you say? Now that's a new one! 👀 Idk if we' ll ever get to know the truth 💀
I sorry for this strange ask, but can you record an utau?! Voice so energetic
Video was interesting!
You are definately the first person to ever say this! 😂But it's a big compliment and definitely boosts my confidence over my voice! :''3 Thank you so much and I'm glad you enjoyed the video! 🙏
When you are making/drawing the face or anything else are you obligated to use water colour pencils?
You don't have to, no! You could immediately use acrylic paints instead, I just have way more control when drawing details with a pencil 😄I would not recommend coloured pencils or oil pencils though because they either don't grip onto the plastic as well and putting too much pressure can put dents in the face, or they'll smudge over time if they're exposed to other elements over time. That is why the standard is to go for watercolour pencils!
Hope that helps! :3
This is amazing? Do you have another channel where you upload more things like this, or was this like a one-time thing?
This is hopefully not a one-time thing, no! I've just been incredibly busy with university studies and am about to start looking for a job within that field of study! I have had no free time to work on any hobbies, but I have an entire drawer filled with split parts for future projects that I hope I can return to soon! :D
Thank you for watching! 🙏
this is the best custom nendo i have ever seen!!!!! and im super thankful you decided to film this, im working on a custom myself, and this has been SUPER helpful! hope you will make more videos like this. (also i grew up w mysims and im still really crazy abt it thank u)
Holy moly-
Thank you so much!! ;;w;; I'm so glad this can be helpful for you!
Also pls EA bring MySims back we beg of you 😩
I’m thinking of making a custom do you have any recommendations for where to buy parts
And supplies needed
this is so cool! I had never heard of mysims before but now I want to play it
I really recommend it! It's super fun and I'm sure you can find the games second-hand from a lot of different places! I never had a wii as a kid so I grew up with the DS games! Thank you so much for watching!! 🥺🙏
happy that i'm one of the three who found this🥰vv cute & creative :D
Yeah I definitely did NOT expect this amount of people to watch this tbh!! 🤣 But I'm glad there are plenty of people out there who enjoy Nendo customs and MySims still! :DD
Thank you so much for watching! :'3
This is so crazy, I was just thinking about MySims today. And I’ve been deep diving into Nendoroid customizing so I can learn how to start doing it! Crazy I ran into this video. But beautiful beautiful job!
Then you're definitely who this video was made for! 😂 I'm so glad you enjoyed it and like the final result! :''D Good luck with your future Nendoroid projects!! :3
aaaa im trying to plan my own custom nendo and this was so incredibly helpful, thank you for making this!!!! plus she turned out totally perfect, you did an amazing job💖
Glad it could be of help to you!! :DD And thank you! 🙏 Wish you luck on your project!!
I'm sad to see you've only uploaded 3 videos. You do nice work. I just spent like $700 on various Nendoroid figures because I just found out about them and had to have Inuyasha and friends. I also pre-ordered Sony's Astro Bot.
I wanna make a custom Inuyasha full demon face and would love to see more of your work before I even get started.
Please show us more.
I love this so much, she was one of my favorites!! 😭😭 Violet is still my #1 but gosh she turned out so cute I love this sm
Violet is another iconic queen! 😭👑 I'm so glad you liked the final result ;;; Thank you very much for watching and commenting! 🙌
absolutely obsessed with my sims ever since I was a kid (I still maintain my sims agents was an underrated masterpiece) and I love this figure so much!! you did the most iconic character so much justice! you deserve so many more subs than you’ve got currently
AAAA thank you!!! ;;;; And I wholeheartedly agree! MySims was the best from the whole franchise! Hopefully someday MySims will get a new chance in the future! One can hope :''D
And thank you so much for watching and commenting! It means a lot! 🙏
I honestly thought you had more subscribers, because this video is very polished and entertaining! Nice work!
Omg thank you! 🥺 That's very nice of you, I'm glad you liked it! :""D
You have a funny sense of humour 😊
And you are truly talented!
I will reference this video when I make my own customs, but honestly that may not be until a couple of years! If you'd have any tips I'd love to know! Or make a video of tips maybe (if you haven't already)
Thank you so much! :'') That's very kind of you!
I haven't made a general tip video yet I'm afraid, no. But that's on the list! Feel free to reach out to me if you have any other questions, I'm happy to help where I can haha
Thanks again for watching!
240 SUBS??? HUH??? consider me 241 because this was so good. the quality of your handiwork is great! keep it up!
AAAAAaaaaa!! ;;; Thank you!! It means a lot! 🥺🙏
OMG IT LOOKS SO AMAZING!! I love. I have been thinking about making a custom nendoroid but it seems like so much work. I had one of the mysims game on the DS and i have a lot of fun memories, although i was like 7 when i played do i didnt really understand the concept. I just played racketball and bought furniture lol.
Thank you so much! 🥺 I won't lie - Nendoroid customization not only takes a lot of time, but can get a bit pricey too, which is why I'm still trying to get a hold of certain parts for future projects 2 years on! But the actual creating process and seeing the final result come together makes it all so much worthwhile! 👀✨
She is totally adorable! You're doing such amazing job :) also, question.. what kind of clay should I use for nendoroids?
Thank you so much! :''D If you're adding modifications with clay on the original nendoroid piece, then something that will air-dry is the best option! As you can see in the video, I use Milliput because of its many perks. But a lot of people also use Apoxie Sculpt. If you want to make a piece from scratch then any durable material would be fine! I used FIMO as you saw in the video for the hip piece :3 Hope that helps!
I’d guess the things in the headphones is meant to be the logo of the in universe headphones makers?
Hadn't considered that! :0 That's a good theory! But that still doesn't explain what it means 😩
She turned out so cute! I had completely forgotten about my sims, even though I played the Wii version quite a bit as a kid. Also I've been considering customizing a qposket, but didn't want to spend a bunch of money on apoxie sculpt. It looks like milliput might work out well for that. Can I ask what grit of sandpaper you use?
Thank you so much! :''D
Aha! Yes, Milliput is such a fantastic material and will be easier on your bank account lmao. As you can read on the packaging, I use the "Superfine White" version and it's honestly very easy to sand. You don't need a very tough grit to be able to shape it. I'm not exactly sure what the grits are of the sandpaper I use here but I'd guess around 800 and up??? Basically like a "medium" grit and then finish it with a very fine grit :) Good luck on your project!! :DD
Thank you so much for this video! ❤ I don’t see many custom nenderoid dolls so this is perfect! Especially I didn’t think I can use different models asides keeping my eyes peel for the blank models (which is always sold out)
I'm so glad you liked it! :DD
Faceplates are always hard to get right 😣 I hope the video is of any use! 😉
Glad to see someone else who still loves MySims! Also your DJ Candy is amazing!
MySims was one of the first ever games I owned as a kid so it has a special place in my heart 😤
And thank you!! 🥺✨
Shes so cute! I adored this series as a kid and you did a great job!
Thank you!! :'3 Webelieve in MySims supremacy 🙌
LIVE LAUGH DJ CANDY!! cant wait to see your next projects ❤
She's such an icon!! Thank you! :''D Life is a bit of a rollercoaster right now, but I have plenty of projects to finish! ;DD
She looks sooo good love your process❤️❤️❤️👍😭
Thank you!! ;;;; I can't wait until my next larger project! 💖
Ended up perfect! Well done! I also learned some stuff I didnt know before
Thanks! :'3 I'm so glad to hear that, that's what I hoped the video would do!
Now I want to make custom nendoroids
Go for it if you want to! :DD It's a long and slow process to make one and sometimes very pricey but very worth it when you finally have something in your hand that you're proud of!
this was so cool to watch! she turned out so great ❤
Thank you so much! 🥺 I'm so glad you like her!
The thing on the headphones looks like a Pac-Man ghost crossed with a mail box.
Omg. At this point I'll take any explanation 🤣
Oh wow!! She turned out so adorable! You’re very talented💖 I’m interesting in making a custom nendoroid as well. Can I ask what sealant you used?
Thank you so much! :''3
I personally use Mr. Super Clear - but it can be tough to find it sometimes. I've also heard that Testors Dullcote is a good alternative! Whatever sealant you find - make sure that it's Matte and the final result gives you a bit of "tooth" so that you can draw on the surface much easier! Oh and PLEASE USE RESPIRATORY PROTECTION!!! If you breathe in the aerosols from a sealant, they'll crystalize and cure inside your lungs - which aint recommended.
Good luck with your project!! :DD
this is too cool 😭
Thank you so much! 🥺
XD you are hilarious and l enjoyed the commentary
Aaaa thank you! I worry I'm too cringe lmao but I'm glad you like my dumb gags 🤣
While watching this I remembered I had the copy of MySims that Taco Bell had in a kid's meal, but when I looked the disk was missing. ☹
Nooooo how tragic! 😭 I bought my copy on ebay! Perhaps others are selling them second hand still?
I remember this game for the WII, it looks incredible! :O
Do you have a list of equipment you used and a guide?
Omg thank you! ;;; I don't have a master list/guide of my collection of my equipment at the moment, no - BUT I would definitely be happy to make one! Perhaps through one of my socials :0 For each post I make on my Instagram/DeviantArt I always include the parts and materials I've used in the descriptions, if you'd like to check those out too!
Don't think you need all the things I use to be able to get a good final result, though! :3
Aaaww this reminds me of my first Sims game it was on the Facebook!! ( ◜‿◝ )♡
I love is games🥰 i have a wii😊 my favorite game is mysims skyheroes
May I ask what clay do you use?
You should Cap'n Ginny next.
Would you ever sell some custom nendoroids? Your work is soo good
I have before yes! But right now I need to sadly put this hobby aside while I focus on my new job and career 😩
Thank you so much for watching and for liking my work! 🥺🙏
いいね😊日本🇯🇵から
ありがとう！🙏
Can you make a Custom Nendoroid - MySims Poppy?
I would love to! But we'll have to see, life is very busy for me right now and I barely have time to work on personal projects (and oh boy do I have many projects I hope to make) :''D
@@biwibins Thanks.
6:19 I wish to be that
You sound like as @izzyzzz
Probably because we're both from New Zealand haha! ☺
