How to make a Custom Mikaela Banes (Megan Fox) figure

[Hennypenny8888]

Fantastic videos, especially of Sam and the All Spark cube. Have you seen any of the new GI Joe figures (Rise of the Cobra)? Which figure would you choose to make Mikaela? The Baroness?

[reddragon162]

@Hennypenny8888 Baroness wears glasses and has that cobra suit. Pretty much every figure, male and female, are wearing some kind of combat uniform. I suppose if you were going to be doing some repainting you could choose a figure to your liking, perhaps swap heads with another one. Since its been awhile since I've seen those figures I can't suggest anything specific. You'd also be on your own trying to find them.

[wolfiey100]

Dam ITS WAS A BIT TO SHIY AT THE END DUDE

[reddragon162]

@wolfiey100 Yeah, that was the first time I ever used the stuff. It said Dull coat on the bottle, but it was actually semi-gloss. Never should have used it.

[wolfiey100]

@reddragon162 ya i hear that man but hey is was still it looks pretty cool

[NINTENDOSUCKSCOCK]

Good job, but it looks like the arms are a little too big and manly looking for a female figure. Also try to distinguish between the jacket and pants color. Too similar. Some touching up on the face, perhaps a different color shirt (pinkish), different color jeans, better arms and this could be very good. Just keep working at it.

[hottdogger10]

You should make a mini Allspark shard like in the second movie. maybe even a mini frenzy-phone. : D

[ThunderAr]

you buy transformers and not unpacking he?

[reddragon162]

Yeah, I collect them, not play with them. If I want a Transformer loose for display, I like to buy it loose on eBay so I can pay less and don't have to struggle with the idea of opening the figure.

[boba7772]

@reddragon162

Do you keep your Mikaela and Sam loose?

[reddragon162]

Those two I stuck back in the boxes to keep them safe until I have a proper place to display them.

[a1nall]

That looks like Michael Bay.lol j/k

[mlc1800]

hey is there any way you can make a custom movie 2 leo

[icebreakersix1nine]

ur good u make it look like the figure came like that

[bgbuldog]

actually the jackets it supose to be smaller than the shirt

[jetprimetrujillo]

i had n dont C it

[reddragon162]

Just check out my other videos and you'll find it.

[jetprimetrujillo]

no cud u tell me whats the video call

[jetprimetrujillo]

holly crap how many transformers action figures do u have

[reddragon162]

Have you seen the video when I show off my new apartment yet? Its more than that now.

[zeonicgeneral]

"Big 'fuck-me' heels"

I lol'd. Ten internets to you sir.

[krayziedre]

The torso doesnt fit.Other than that its...GOOD

[themikefiz]

u should of got a non bulky jacket

[reddragon162]

Why does everyone bitch and complain about the jacket? It looks fine to me. Perhaps you have to see it in person or something.

[josniel1000]

that is the best action figure you made!!!!!!

[ghostly827]

the jacket is bulky and you should've made the jeans a little darker.Other than that good job.

[kingrad1]

0:58

[reddragon162]

What about it?

[kingrad1]

thats where i had to stop = P

[crazyhorse52395]

you have way too much time but a hell of a lot of patience and talent

[reddragon162]

Actually, very little patience, working on the talent, and very little time. But thanks for the compliment.

[jaretb6]

hi great work

[valvetvrazorcool]

looks like u made a gay out of these 2 figures .

[DrewChestHair]

haha fuck me heels

[23xxSHADOWxx23]

dont you think her arms are a little to big

[reddragon162]

Nope, the jacket just has some puffy kind of sleeves.

[tmnttbt]

I am thinking about customizing a 1 foot tall mutt Williams into a Sam witwiky, only big problem is the cloth shirt

and I haven't customed before

[reddragon162]

Well if you want to make his shirt black, its easy, just color it with a sharpie or something.

[tmnttbt]

neat wall

[filmman21]

thanks for the tips i just made both sam and mikaela and they look great

[reddragon162]

Cool, I sure would love to see them. You have a video you could post here or a picture you could post on Deviant Art?

[filmman21]

what kind of paint do you use

[reddragon162]

Well, mostly I stick to the kind of paint you would find in the miniatures section of your friendly local comics or games shop.

[mazzzzi1234]

u got some of ur paint from games workshop

[generalgrievousrawer]

the jacket and pants where a little light and her pants are way up hight ye know there was that scene...............

[Scorpion396]

lol nice custom, but she looks funny with the muscular arms that is. But overall very nice.

[WickedSpider095]

hey its me stopmotion kid. how exatly did you get the joints off wit the dremel? can you make a vid with it?

[reddragon162]

I didn't use a dremel to get the joints off. I left the figure in the sink with hot water running over it for a few minutes, then pulled the arms off. I don't know how hot the water at your place gets, but if its not hot enough, you can always just boil water over the stove and dunk the figure in there. If that sounds too dangerous though, you can use a hair dryer to heat things up dry and pop them off that way.

[WickedSpider095]

Oh, ok. Thanks for answering so fast!

[1not1who1you1think1]

could you make more custom figures

[reddragon162]

I have 2 in the works, but its hard not to be lazy. They will get done SOMEday!

[1not1who1you1think1]

what figures are they?

[reddragon162]

There are a few ideas for Transformers in my head, but the figures I've been working on are Iceman and She-Hulk.

[dunkindoughnuts1212]

dude please tell me how did you took off the hands on both figures

[reddragon162]

If you want to go the more dangerous rout, boil some water, then stick whatever your going to separate for 10 seconds or so. If you don't want to wait for water to boil, just stick the figures in the bathroom sink, and run the hot water over them for 30 seconds. The parts should separate like they were never meant to be together.

[dunkindoughnuts1212]

thanks means alots to me, your a nice guy

[dunkindoughnuts1212]

make another mikalea with white shirt,blck pants and dark blue coat

[reddragon162]

Nope. One was enough for em, I'm working on other figures now (which will be finished someday...) If you wanted to make one and post a video of your own I'd watch it though.

[dunkindoughnuts1212]

how did you took out the arms,feets and hands

[dunkindoughnuts1212]

how about a white shirt,black pants,and a dark blue coat

[reddragon162]

That could work too.

[artlover76]

whats that putty u used?

[reddragon162]

Aves Apoxie sculpt. If your gonna do custom figures, you've got to get some if you don't want to do nothing but repaints.

[artlover76]

ok thx. appreciate the help

[artlover76]

the upper body looks much bigger than the lower body, u sould have kept her hands. in that part of the movie she is all dirty and stuff so u should make another one like that

[reddragon162]

Sorry, 1 was enough for me. I did keep her hands, thats why they are smaller, and the only reason her upper body looks big is because shes wearing the jacket.

[artlover76]

i ment the arms.

[2346]

No!!!! MEgan Fox said she would kill her self if someone made her an action figure!!

[reddragon162]

Funny, and I just finished watching I Love The 80's: 1987. They had that song 'I Just Died In Your Arms Tonight'.

[2346]

rofl... do u know how to mold custom pieces?

[reddragon162]

I've done some research, but I don't have the supplies or room to do so.

[origamiartist2]

it looks nice, but the head looks a little out of place to me

[reddragon162]

Thats because her hair was molded to fall across her shoulders, not over a jacket. I just put her head underneath hot water for a minute to soften up her hair, then popped the head into place, the hair fell over the jacket in the process. Once it cooled it tried to go back to its original shape, so it seems as though shes looking down. A very good reason to have her holding her cell phone.

[AtticusRh0des]

very nice, youre customs rock!

[DMSL2007]

Cool vid dude, too bad they are slightly out of scale with the TF figures.

[reddragon162]

Its cool with me, I don't plan on opening any of my movie figures other than the Deluxe Ironhide to make a custom G1 Tailbreaker.

[zulexz]

wooot finally!
