Just dyed an mcu moon knight with this exact dye. Had to disassemble it, then brought the water to almost boil and poured most of the dye in, then threw all my parts in. Surprisingly only a bit of that moon knight is hard plastic, and I got it black by keeping it pushed down. Stirred them bitches every few minutes for about an hour and everything came out perfect, finally got my custom Skyrim nightingale armor.
MrDecko828 that was the best pet of this to me, especially painting over joints and what not but it really steers you’re customs to black suited characters lol
1) Do you still wash your figures beforehand? 2) Think the dye will take well to apoxy/sculpted pieces? 3) How long do you wait for the pieces to dry before doing anything else?
kidgalactus 1) well yea you rinse the dye naturally after you take them out 2)idk 3) you can do something with the pieces as soon as you take them out the water the wait is up to you
Ima custom dye my goeta figures legs red if there is a red one and my friend finna be WHERE DID YOU GET THATTTT? And ima be like uh kitbash is the best and showed everyone how to dye it
Hrm Im glad to see this works. I missed out on the blue Beast and with the grey one coming out next month my first idea was a blue dye bath. It does absorb into the plastic, right? I ask because I attempted to dye a Transformer awhile back and it was just a surface level job. It scrapes off entirely, easier than paint.
I just tried to dye one of those maven collection figures. I sat it in the dye for about an hour and it barely changed color. I used the regular rit dye though so maybe that was the problem.
@@KitbashCustoms I got it to take the second time using that type of dye you used. I also added a little acetone to the water to open the plastic up a bit. unfortunately that type of dye only comes in a darker green though lol.
I'm trying to dye White Rappit's arms and coat but not using Rit brand, just ordinary fabric dye. it's weird that the pegs on the joints, the hard plastic, got the color but the rubbery stuff didn't. Also, I didn't boil it the first time and just soaked them in the solution for hours. For round 2, I boiled the solution and added more dye dipped the coat a couple of minutes but afraid I might destroy them I so dumped everything in a coffee container. I'll probably keep them there overnight.
@@mrheatmiser2 I think the ordinary fabric dye I used was the problem. It never really absorbed into the coat. Earlier this year, got the Rit Synthetic Dye and that one really penetrates the plastic. Though I still noticed how it sticks more/faster to different types of plastics, Those that don't absorb quickly, I just dip longer.
Mauricio Vazquez yes you can but not with dark colored plastics, I’d imagine you can take let’s say phasing vision or ice man and go any other color, but darker figs I don’t see them dying to well. For example I used the chocolate brown for my ronin and I did my usual thing and it turned black. And the figure already had dark colors
@@KitbashCustoms I remember you mentioning the chocolate brown thing in the video for the Ronin. Could you do...for example a Mordo body to red? I was thinking of making some Hand ninjas this way

How has the dye held up?
Long anticipated! AWESOME video, I always wondered if that plastic would take. Now I can cut out a lot of painting. Thanks my dude.

Awesome! This looks much easier than painting. Do you know if a figure that has apoxie sculpt on it will it dye or just get ruined?

Do you disassemble the figure before you put it in the dye or keep it whole?
Have you used color dye before? I want to dye the caliban body blue for a venom custom.
i melted many figures trying to dye lol i realized i used the wrong dye tho, i learned the hard way lol
I didn’t want to melt anything so I was cautious out the gate, had a couple scares but nothing major

Have you used the regular RIT dye? I tried the regular black and it didn’t take. So I was wondering if my process was wrong or the dye, or maybe both.
Jerome Stith I haven’t, I saw the regular tho and the vibe wasn’t right lol, so I just grabbed the synthetic. But that could be your issue tho
Yeah I saw on another video you need the synthetic type or it will not work

I think transformers are hard plastic that’s why it didn’t dye.
How do you dye multiple colors like that?
Hi can you dye from a darker colour to a lighter one? Like from light brown to beige.
I just tried to dye one of those maven collection figures. I sat it in the dye for about an hour and it barely changed color. I used the regular rit dye though so maybe that was the problem.
NOTPOPIMP from the looks of those figures they look like hard plastic at least harder than marvel legends.
@@KitbashCustoms Yeah and the joints are looser than my ex wife too lol. I really want to make a custom She Hulk out of the tall version.
NOTPOPIMP I’m not too big on those maven figures and I haven’t seen too many customs with them as of late
@@KitbashCustoms I got it to take the second time using that type of dye you used. I also added a little acetone to the water to open the plastic up a bit. unfortunately that type of dye only comes in a darker green though lol.
NOTPOPIMP you can use it just gotta be quick lol
Thanks for the video. I've been using permanent markers. But joints are the problemo.
ricky todd Botelho yea markets don’t last at all and they have a purplish hue to them once dry.
Question: How long did it take for your figures to dry?
To dry from the water or dye either way they shouldn’t take too long
What’s with the soap? And does it work on resin?
Found it! LOL! TYSM!
Sick decepticon tatoo

How did this turnout?

Can you dye figures other colors besides black? Can you dye red?

Mauricio Vazquez it wouldn’t be the red your thinking of its be really dark
@@KitbashCustoms damn. Ok. Thanks.
Mauricio Vazquez could try red with astral strange tho might be better
Just curious does the dye effect the pain on the figures ??
Will it work with dragon ball super dragon stars?
Should work on most plastics
@@KitbashCustoms OK appreciate your comment
just dyed with your technique hope it works
Ah you meant “Dyeing“! Lol.
Maybe next time film the actual rit dye process. V
I showed you exactly what I did and how it turned out tho? And explained it along the way? I’m confused
I wish they would make some no boil dye
Jestermon1 the whole point of my video/tutorial is to show you dont have to boil
You do still have to heat it though
Jestermon1 microwave tho not boil, the is more for the plastic than the dye in this case
