This should be titled Hack Action Figure or Action Figure Modification. Custom is a term that is used in the industry to indicate that an item has been sculpted/modeled from scratch according to specifications.

@laurenlev4 Well, this term has long been in use by the first people who started customizing figures. So, I'm not gonna change it now. I'm just using their word. :D If I don't, they wont know what i'm talking about!!

[TheCookiinCompany]

@laurenlev4 Also, the better customizers, actually DO sculpt and model from scratch, even down to making their own joints. Lots of them frankenstein. Some, even do a simple paint job...but we all still consider it "Custom"

your sink needs cleaned!!!

@NINPHMTDS i've tried!! its stuck on!! i know im grossed out toO!

[TheCookiinCompany]

@MrSpidey101 there's a really good trick for that: Walk into any store, ANY non-specialty store, just like a convience store, target, walmart, drug store (cvs, riteaid, longs, walgreens, etc.), and look around for a minute. If it's not immediately obvious to you that the make-up section is near the cashiers, ask an employee to show you the way. Reach out with your hand, grab hold of a bottle. Now bring it to the cashier and throw $2 at them. Problem SOLVED.
