    Sometimes your customs just don't work the way you want! October has me creating...
    Here is is the problem, Hasbro Pulse has been putting out new Spider-Man figures but lack quality control. The new windowless boxes have made this extremely difficult to see the problems before purchases. Multiple Spider-Man figures have arrived with defects. Hasbro do better and fix this, answer your emails, support your fans of Marvel Legends.
    I love making dioramas and battle scenes for Marvel Legends, McFarlane Toys, Hot Toys and more
    After working at a new job for military veteran programming since March 2020, I have tried to make sure that all the fans are up to date on my collection and customs.

    Another tip I learned is to use nail polish remover (%100 acetone) and use clean* napkin, slowly and smoothly wipe off the outside paint. Don't reuse the same napkin part or it'll rub the paint back on and don't stay in an area too long, it'll dissolve the plastic.

    • @suhtangwong
      @suhtangwong 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I think the factory bonds them with special material, kinda like super glue. So you won't be able to disconnect the joints as the plastics components are chemically bonded.

    • @otakulensphotography
      @otakulensphotography  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Sometimes people swap the Vulcan and the retro Falcon shoulders for that look on different bases. I have tried it on a Deadpool and a Daredevil and they are good. But I went back to the smaller for flexibility in Y poses

    • @otakulensphotography
      @otakulensphotography  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Sometimes I take them all the way apart. Honestly I cut away as much friction points as possible from experience. Usually it’s safe to use a figure close to the colors you want or dye them if you can with synthetic dye 1st. Then a fine surface primer and slowly use thin airbrush layers. I seal with Mr. Clear matte from HobbyBASE
