Thanks for putting the link i'm not that good on computers

Wow, he has really come a long way since the first 2-3 he made.

wow I didn't knw about hex, stump mash, trigger happy and drill sergent

Yeah he does amazing work way nicer then the original these are ones you would like to put on your shelf

Hex looks the best i think

Aswell as spyro

I was actually able to get the Drill Sergeant one.


I have to say I was quite pleased with what I got.
if I had the cash to burn, I'd get another figure from him.

If you don't mind me asking what did you pay?
You can even give me a rounded number if you don't want to give me exact price or not at all don't mean to be nosey just wondering.

considering it's Drill Sergeant, AND articulated, that thing jumped in price real quickly. Yay Ebay!
$60 is (unfortunately) what I had to pay.
but hey. I'm glad I have him.

saw a custom chop chop on ebay for 100 bucks


the custom hex was doing that m m m girl thing

I'm seriously considering the purchase of one of these articulated characters. How is the build on the Drill Sergeant? Is the fit and finish professionally done? How was it packaged and did the original box and content come with it?
Thanks for your time and enjoy.

I'm not gonna get any but I have an idea for a custom lightning rod

I'll show you a custom lightning Rod LOL

Sorry couldent resist

Is that with the 20 dollars shipping he charges or do you live in the states

If you dident know it's 20 bucks to ship it to canada which is where i live

I live in the states.

it was packaged safely, in a fashion that it would not move around during shipping, it seems to be professionally done, however, the connection between his right arm, and the rest of his body does seem to be just a tad loose when compared to the left arm.
as far as the paint job, he actually looks better than the official figure.

I did use him for my game, and while he's said to not have been played, I found he WAS registered to another game. (probably to make sure the sucker worked, and it's easy enough to fix, so whatever.)

overall, excellent craftsmanship, highly recommend buying one from him.
oh, and yes. the packaging came with Drill Sergeant. the card, the sticker, and the web code.

I don't order stuff online because they charge extra to bring it to you

Thank you for the info. I was considering purchasing the necessary parts and tools to try this myself, but with so many other projects going on, I'll probably end up bidding on one.

Did anyone see how much the custom made spyro went for with shipping almost $150 WOW. And it looks like the same person bought the trigger happy for 60 bucks Thats over 200 bucks for too skylanders i know there custom made but that seems to be alot of money i don't know much about the prices of custom models but i sure hope i win one they look SO COOL Just don't want to pay 100 bucks for it. Or is that a normal prices for custom figures. Does anyone know anything about this stuff if there is i'd love to know what and what not to pay don't want to get ripped off.
Oh ya just wondering Did anyone from here buy those 2 skylander custom figures from ebay?

Merry Christmas Everybody

Man someone just made a duplicate topic like this one.

This has got to stop it's getting a little out of hand

The newbies arent even looking at the topics it just seems they want to make up there own weather ther is one there or not

Just glance down the forum people you never know what topic you might find.

Sorry to come off as rude.
Just botherd by it clutters up the forum

I don't think you're rude, it is getting troublesome now. It's a shame there's no dedicated forum on the net for Skylanders with additional mods.

That's called shipping costs, and they sometimes add those to products you get in stores.

And if you shop around, quite often you will find places with no or negligible shipping (like $2 for 5 tower cases - not $2 for each, but all up).

Generally speaking, those custom figures can go anywhere between $30, and $100.
it all depends on how much people want that particular figure. articulated, or not. I think Hex went for only $25. either that, or prism break

I see Thanks for answering

Stump Smash went for 20 aswell.
Crazy what someone will spend such a vast difference in amounts paid spyro if i remember went ofr close or over 150

He did Voodood...

Jin's a pretty cool cucumber, he recently made an account here and started posting after lurking for a while
he's in the same boat in terms of toy hunting, which i think is kind of amusing.

Yeah, the ones with the long legs look weird. The short leg ones look good though.

Yep yep, that's me! Hello everyone.

You got Drill Sarge! If the arm is a little loose try putting a dab of Future Floor Wax in there and letting it dry. It's clear and that's what most action figure collectors use to tighten joints on their figures. I'm glad you like him, he was the first Drill Sarge I made. The other Drill Sarge is sitting on Paul Richie's desk. Yep, the head guy from Toys for Bob. He's asked me to do a Chop Chop for him too and I just got in my ball joint sets from overseas.

Speaking of ball joints you all can articulate your Skylanders figures. I don't have a guide specific to them yet but it's basically a combination of techniques shown in my Guides and Tutorials on my site. I use a combination of ball joints from Hobby Base/Yellow Sub brand which you can only get overseas through Hobby Link Japan, Mega Blocks mini Marvel figures (the lower body for Voodood and Flameslinger), Star Wars (upper body for Stealth Elf) and other toys that have existing joints. For basic cut-joints that swivel I use the screw or magnetic joint technique that I also list in my guides. All the painting steps are done afterwards and combined with everything else you end up with a really unique figure!

^Welcome Jin your figures are really really well done!!!!

Curious....what figure "Skylander" is the hardest to work with?

I have seen your work on your website, and I read that you live in Nashville Tennessee. I am happy to see that because I am a Nashvillian myself. It is so cool to see that someone so freaking awesome lives in my home town.

Hmmm, well Chop Chop is the most complex one. Due to his skeletal nature I have to use 4 sets of double-ball-joints as they're the only thing I could find small enough that looked like bones. So that's like 12 arm/leg parts plus a ball joint for his neck and one for his waist. That's a lotta parts! Then Prism break because it takes a lot of actual resculpting because of the odd angles his shoulders were molded in. You can't just swap parts because no tiny figure looks like rock out there. You have to use Aves Apoxie Sculpt and sculpt the rock design on the joints you use.

Paul Reiche

Ok I see thanks!

that's a whole lotta bold text

Oop, I screwed up his name. Paul Reiche III to be on the money! Paul said he passed Drill Sarge around the conference table, people making 'woosh' noises as they played with him. I that that was so cool I wanted to pass out in a fit of hysterical giggles. Every time I pick mine up I want to go "BIDDY BEEP BOO BRONK BEEP BEEP BOO BIDDY" heh...

ignitor now....

Jin at some point I might ask you to do for me a Zap! (He is my favourite) I am saving money at the moment!
Out of all, I think Drill is the most impressive one... and I hate that character

unfortunately he doesn't take commissioned orders. when zap does appear you will have to fight it out with other bidders on ebay.
