Awesome! Love all the detail put into his scales and eyes!

the sheen on drobot looks very good with him.

I'm gonna make with my extra ignitor S1
"Phantom Ignitor"
"Phantom Burn"

I know he's been done before... But Prism Break is one of my favorites, so I had to(not to mention he was really easy to clean up).

Here's the more interesting photo but the worse version of the figure. I just couldn't be bothered taking it again as Earth's orbit of the sun would have made the shadows look terrible and screw it up at this hour.

Here's the newer, better version, I just didn't like the shading on the other one. Trust me, he isn't that silly-shiny in real life, the iPad just makes photos' shading overly amplified.


And I just finished this, though I'm not a huge Eruptor fan- all of his figures just look sort of poor, so I needed to fix it(I like the Series 2 best- those spikes look awesome). It'll be on the way out when someone tells me that they want it like Gill Grunt.

current in progress custom Flashwing. Lets call him Shadowing


It's like a cross between MC Escher and Batman's suit...almost black and white...hint of the purple when on the portal...looks pretty cool I think so far. Will post more pics soon.

nice i like it ^

Another project I started last night. Remove base of my Royal Double Trouble. Pull RFID out. Remove base and RFID from regular Double Trouble. Swap, reseal and paint regular double trouble into a staff swapping Royal Double Trouble with a new paint job to reflect his in game look.

Here is my start:

Really nice!

I have 2 series 2 cynders, should I customize one? im conflicted.

I thought of painting "Arkeyan Chill" but I'm not good at painting. ):

WOWZERS!
__________
Anyway, I just finished Charizard Spyro! I call him-Spyrozard-BOOM!
WIll posts pics soon!

If I do customize my cynder, what should it look like? And I am planning to add more yellow highlights to my Sunburn. Only minor stuff since its the only one I have. Suggestions?

Limitless possibilities. Paint it how you can imagine it painted. Think of a favorite character or maybe just change the color and go from there... There is no wrong answer to customizing.

im just concernerd that the paint might glob over the scales on her, killing the detail. or that it might dissole the plastic or something. because these guys are way to expensive to replace or trash and im just parannoyed like that.

^ If you use acrylic modeling paint and not enamel, it shouldn't eat away at it. My favorite brand is Testers, but any acrylic paint meant for modeling and crafts should work fine.

A tip I can give is what another user mentioned. Water your paint down to a thin consistency and paint in layers. Small brushes for details...by small...I mean 00 and 000 brushes.

alright. i just have to check my paint inventory to see how much acrylic paint i have left. this is gonna be great.

NEVERMIND! my mom said i couldnt paint it or change it in any way. grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr. im mad. *breaks invisible brick wall*

Say, if you want to get some figures for customs, buy some of the factoyr prototypes/rejects/stolen prototypes/whatever off Chinese shopping websites. They cost like $1.5 US dollars, and you can buy them in mass. I may buy some for customs. They won't work in game, but that means you can alter them even more.

"Spyro's standard paint job is disappointing, but his regular design wasn't very interesting to touch up. So I did this instead. "

WOWZERS! That looks awesome.. Great job!

I painted my eruptor to look like this proto...

Here's mine...

That's too evil for my taste.

Here are mine, no paint change or anything fancy but I put some Lego stuff in.(don't wanna risk damaging a figure while painting it):

My dad really likes Sonic Boom so I did this for him and left it on his bench as a surprise.

How did you get THAT?
did you remove the paint or was it like that when you got it at gamestop?

Considering it's St. Paddy's Day, I thought this was appropriate AND down right AWESOME!!!

EDIT: Just noticed that this is post 777... must be the luck of the Irish!?

^ That's awesome X)!

I'm still upset that nobody made Lucky Boomer yet!

My Tech shelf looked "incomplete" without having this to go with Jin's Wii one.


Edit: Okay, I was gonna put this in a new post, but nobody posted before I finished this, so look, a Portal themed after the night worlds from Super Mario Bros.! They look cool. Funny, the effect wasn't intended, but I messed around and didn't like default + silver but it reminded me of the levels perfectly when I added the black. I even made a story to go with it ~

Quote:

Once in a millennium, a Portal Master is graced with an... Odd... Portal for themselves. These Portals are made of black stardust and not just silver leaf- but silver leaves, and commemorate several of the areas passed by a brave plumber 28 years before the first was crafted. It is a quiet mystery where these come from and who creates them, but what is known is that these Portals will shine like a beacon in the dark(quite literally), ensuring their Portal Masters are never astray. The unfortunate side effect comes in that these Portals always cause problems for their Masters' Skylanders, doing things such as relieving them of their treasures and their abilities- thus, they are always thrown away, or perhaps there's just the one of them that people keep picking up every thousand years...

I got a glow in the dark 3DS Portal from eBay a while ago, but it has some serious glitches- sometimes it stays on until you remove the batteries, sometimes resets Skylanders, et cetera. I do like this custom and sort of want to keep it <advertising>

I also did this straight after I woke up... Figure-wise, default LightCore Jet-Vac is actually one of the best in my opinion(besides his awful light up), but I still find it mediocre overall, which makes me sort of sad.

I will probably take a sharpie to a happy meal gill grunt.

Can't wait to see happy meal customs

Wow! Looks great!

Not quite sure. I searched briefly... she may have a FB page of some sort? Try PM'ing T7gga, I know he's bought quite a few of her customs.

I know she's an artist and does some of this for a living, but she is by far the most talented customizer I've seen when it comes to Skylanders!

Finished version of Series 2 Royal Double Trouble with working base swapout.

I'll also be posting a LightCore Shroomboom and an S2 Cynder on there today sometime

BATMAN SPYRO! Happy Easter

GM76 nibelilt...nice portal!

That Batman Spyro Is Awesome.......Official Skylander.........10 out of 10

AWSHUM BATMAN SPYRO!!!!

Nice Batspyro!
Next do a Wonder Woman Stealth Elf :P

I'm back doing more custom Skylanders Giants figures and Ninjini caught my eye combining two of my favorite character types, Ninja and a Djinn! But like all Skylanders game figure they lack articulation so I decided to give her the treatment. For Ninjini's arms I used limbs from a Star Wars Luke vs Clone Emperor as it had the right sort of sculpt, marvel legends hip joint for her ab crunch so she could bow, and an elbow joint for her head/neck so she could look around. Ninjini doesn't have legs so she stays on her base but at least now she can slice at her enemies and comes with a game-accurate paint job!

More pics here---> Ninjini

That's too awesome for words!

Let the bids begin fellow members! I don't have a ninjini yet so I'm definitely bidding. How much do these normally go for, I remember losing your boomer and it was about $30, iPods have bad bidding lag...
