Figure Realm Comments and Questions

Any updates?

Does anyone know what parts were used fore this figures body? I see the vest and chain mails were custom made. But the parts used aren't specified.

I'm interested in commissioning too. Have you had any luck finding someone?

I do commissions. DM me.

Any luck with your search?

Hi thanks for responding. Ok that's great for removing but what if I wanted to leave it the way it is, can I coat the figures with something to prevent the paint from scratching off easily? Would Mod Podge work or some kind of sealer?

Yeah modge podge will work.

Hi. I'm new here too, but I have some experience with making mistakes. Rubbing alcohol and a toothbrush usually removes most acrylic paint. The paint I always use is either Tamiya or Vallejo. Hope this helps.

I used a dremel and sandpaper. The dremel will speed up the process, but can cause extra work trying to sand the rough parts down. Before you try a dremel though, try using 220 grit sandpaper to sand off the logo, then use 600 grit sandpaper to smooth everything out. It might take a little longer this way, but it should save you a lot of work. You should be able to find the sandpaper at a hardware store.

The 220 grit is good for sanding off areas quickly, and the 600 grit is good for smoothing it out afterwards and giving it a nice finish.

Thanks for the suggestions I'll half to try that.

As long as the customs were done well, with proper preparation and paint, I'd suggest a soft, natural hair, long bristled paint brush, 1/2" to 1" wide (I use a 1 1/2" since it happens to be what I have) for removing dust. A light brushing should be all that's needed to remove most of the dust. For more stubborn dust which has worked its way into sculpt details you can use a soft bristled toothbrush with warm, slightly soapy water per usual customization cleaning prep, then rinse off under the tap. Again, I'd say this is probably ok to do with properly customized figures, using a light touch, but if you have any doubts about them at all then maybe skip this part, non-customized figures should be fine unless they're very old and already have paint chipping off. Anyway, just sharing my expe ...

Hey thanks for the link, I didn't know there was such a site. I appreciate the help.

If only every search were so easy, sometimes it's like ripping out shinbones trying to get information from companies lol

Scroll down to Toys & Games

Several companies with rights for different items. There's also an entry for "Figurines" higher up in a different section, though I'm guessing those are like Eaglemoss figurines.

...somehow I would like to read this answer too.if it is already decided to delete customs,so no one here can see them in public,some people from this public who like this work might also like to know what the reasons for that were.especially in relation to the facts that the artist has listed here...

I don't know who the few other Regulators are, but I wouldn't be surprised if we have different ideas for what's acceptable, so the same submissions may get accepted or rejected depending on who gets to it first.

There may also be a system in place where if a Regulator rejects something, and the person then submits the exact same thing again, it may get auto-rejected. I'm not 100% sure on that, that's why I suggested they contact the admin. (Instead the person made another topic to call us all idiots and left forever, so meh.) ...

If you have questions/concerns, use the Contact link found by clicking through any topic in the Help section, thanks. (You're more likely to get an answer that way)

Looks like they both use pins so yeah, you should be able to heat the parts to disassemble them.
