Deserves way more views. Really well done, thanks for this! Have always wanted to make professional-looking Star Wars figure cardbacks. Greetings and love from Australia!
Love your channel just what I needed. Hope you have a successful youtube career
Awesome !! Thank you for this tutorial... i'll be attempting a Wilrow Hood Card !! :)
Awsome thank you! Can't wait to make my own cards and figures of the ones Kenner doesn't make!
So cool man!!
Thanks for this video!! Subscribed!
Wow... very helpful video. Your work is awesome and you are a good teacher
Thank you! Glad you found it helpful!
Thanks for the tips! One did help me because I didn't know it but awesome work!!
I’m glad!!
That was nice
Thanks Bro, I have a large collection of Lili Ledy figures I want to recard, this will be so helpful.
Oh that’s awesome!
Yes I did. I do most of my work on GIMP… but the process is basically the same. I was checking out your site, & you had me at ‘Space Karen.’ That made me laugh!
But I had 3 ?’s for you. I’ll post it here as well as email you at your site so that way if 1 way doesn’t work out, 1 will.
(1) Do you know where it’s a good place to get scans/copies of the old Super Powers cardbacks for reproductions/customs? Finding an image isn’t that hard, but either it’s a cruddy image, the figure is still on it (making it kind a bad image to work with), or too messed up to make a temp from. I have seen some guys on eBay that sell reproduction cards… but either it’s a limited selection… or WAY too expensive. There are some custom SP figures that I’d like to make… & would like to have a template that I can stick a fig on. Do you know where I can do look because I haven’t found anything!
(2) How do you make tray inserts for inside a bubble because some figures have that setup with the packaging? 1 of the things that I liked to do is put a DC Classics Lex Luthor on a 35th Anniversary card backing… but put him in a tray along with his gun & the 4 pieces of Kryptonite that some versions of him come with (depending on the release). That would look a lot better/neater looking I think than having it flop around in the background. I think that the easiest way to create a new tray is to scan a pre-existing 1, cut up the scan, & creating a new template to be vacu-formed. Next to recycling a bubble off another card, making new bubbles to fit a custom is the next logical step… so my thinking is making new trays would be the next logical step along with the bubbles. So I was wondering if you had tips on that because a lot of newer Transformers, Marvel, DC figs have that kind of packaging.
(3) This might be more of a painting tutorial, but I’ve been trying for the last few weeks making ‘placards’ for some 16’ Garbage Pail Kid Dolls that I’m currently tinkering with. I’m still hammering out a skeleton for them. I’ve got a bunch of dead or damaged Cabbage Patch Kids over here, & I’m recycling them (the 1’s that are really messed up) into GPKs. Being a ragdoll, CPKs don’t have a support frame, & when accessories are added to a vintage CPK body; they can’t handle the weight. So they need an endoskeleton to stand/pose. The goal is to keep them feeling soft & squishy like a doll, but strong enough to be posed like a figure. Almost like stop motion puppet.
But the vintage cards until they stopped making them were also stickers. You could peel the face of the card off, & stick it on something. Because 1 of the figures that I’m working on is so expensive (each card of them is $100-150 each), I’ve been reproducing the card front. I’m about 90% done with it, but it’s that dang cutline that I’m having problems with. If interested, I can send you what I’ve done so far, but I wondered if you had any experience with this & could give me any tips. “How to make a faux cutline.”
Anyway… thanks… & talk to you later!
Just wondering- in your other video about gluing the picture to the backing, how do you print the front and back side by side?
how do you print them? do you send them out or print yourself? your vids have been very helpful thank you
Amazing video, loved it. One question tho what kind of clipper do you use to round up the backboard?
I did a video not to long long ago and I talk about that. Just scroll a few videos back.
@@ToyKings thanks for the quick reply
Just discovered your channel today and it's just what I was looking for! I'm looking at buying my first 3d printer soon would you recommend I start with a fdm printer or an lcd printer? Awesome channel keep up the great work!
Awesome! Glad to have you here! Well it would depend on what your wanting to make with it. If you want fine detail get a LCD printer if your wanting to make functional parts get an FDM.
@@ToyKings Thanks!
How do you print these out? What kind of card stock?
Hey, Just wondering how you make the bubbles for your carded figures, Keep up the great work!
Thank you! I actually buy them on ebay
@@ToyKings Good to know!
@@No_TrickPony check out empire blasters
Question... Is there a site to capture hi resolution vintage GI JOE cardbacks? I want to make a wall of them. I don't need the back since only the front will be displayed?
Hmmm like a site that has scans of them? I’m not sure but that seems like yojoe.com would have info on that.
@@ToyKings I'll check it out... Thank you
Do you make and sell custom 3.75 figures by request ?
what printer and paper do you print these on?
I use a print shop
and what can i use this cards for?
For what ever you want
I hope you changed your ways in how you modify cards. No clue why you used mask to change colors... Just fill to change those colors... or create your own? It's super easy.
what happened to the link for the photoshop template?
It's in the description
@@ToyKings Got it now...Thanks!!!
Considering these are your designs and I wouldnt be allowed to reproduced them functionally or not, I wanted to go ahead and slide you the advice that you can rely more on ball sockets for even simple pivot rotations if you want these things to stop breaking, getting the right sized ball through trial and error can be a bit of a doosey though. I was thinking man I can only get the heads on this thing so I went oh wait, that means ball sockets will actually work, and taddah. Although pegs are nice they simply just dont have the foundation you get from an orb (ergo a ball can take more pressure then a cylinder before it gives entirely). The one ive been experimenting with this on is a bootleg darth krayt from not you actually but its kenner styled and its pegs look copied and pasted to me from yours, the original pegs that is. Id link you to this model but it got removed after i tried contacting support about how it came with no legs as advertised. Which is a bummer I didnt want a refund I just wanted legs but here I am not only redesigning whole new joints but yet also somehow legs for this bugger while im at.
Great video! Very helpful. Do you have an Instagram?
Glad it helped!! Yes 2 actually showroomcollectibles and just_anotherchris
