FINAL FACTION Dollar Store Scratch Build - How to take a dollar droid and do a custom Scratch Build
Ойын-сауық
Found this cool little Final Faction Dollar Store toy and thought it would be fun to do a quick custom scratch build. I took a hairspray caps a quarter machine container and some Dollar Tree Final Faction droid parts and built a pretty cool scratch build Snow Droid.
I hope you enjoy this custom toy!
Thanks for visiting DR Toys, have a great one!

That's super cool. I thought it would be a nice touch to put those wires on the other leg, too. That way it doesn't look like you're trying to hide wires, but more like they are part of the robot.

Yeah, I totally agree!
I found you very randomly in my recommended and I'm so happy with that. Your droids are amazing, and the way you build really makes me want to look around my house for random bits and pieces to make something new out of instead of throwing them away!

Dude you didn't sound to thrilled with the outcome but the insane amount of work you put into this piece and that wiring which you wound up having to make holes throughout the piece including the base and that ingenious placement of the tea light is seriously impressive. This seemed like an exercise in patience at a ten! I am very impressed.

Thanks. Sometimes at the end of a build I’m critiquing my own work, thinking about all the things I wish I would have done. That’s the fun part about being a maker critique and observe your mistakes and make the next one better.!😃
Love this build. I'm such a huge fan of Toybashing, trash bashing, kitbashing, whatever you wanna call it. That tea light wiring was PERFECT! BTW That's a capacitor on his spine.

Great work, it seems more a rag tag Army's droid than a regular one, it has an "emergency" feeling, as something build for a disperate situation, where all the firepower is needed 👍

You have truly pleased the algorithm. I also got you randomly in my feed and am very happy to have found you. Running the wires through the leg as druid cabling was truly an excellent notion. Mirroring the wires with dummy's on the other side would have hidden the power leads utterly though. Just a thought for future builds. Keep up the good work!
That was amazing. Really loved it. And great music while you narrated. Wonderful.

I know you were going for Star Wars Stormtrooper and it definitely still has that vibe. but to me, it also has this hand-drawn cell-shaded effect like something straight out of Borderlands 3. Love it.😊 it also looks like something I'd pay $20 to $30 dollars for at a hobby shop, If I hadn't watched you build it I'd never have known it was made using recycled bits of plastic caps, and dollar tree toys. xD

That's a really excellent result! As a personal thing, because I always have an internal backstory to everything I make to justify the end result, I would have matched the wiring on the right leg, to make it look more functional. That's a great scratch build, though.

Great point! In actuality I should have drilled through the top portion of the leg as well and I could have hid the whole thing. I really don't have a ton of experience with wiring and when I was looking at my footage of it I thought the same thing... it's not quite right. Lesson learned 🙂 Thanks for watching!

Hoi hoi. Your build videos are great. I love watching them with my kids, we’re now collecting lids to have a go in making them ourselves. You’re very inspirational. There’s a toy line called World War Robots - your robots are very similar to them, but they’re like crazy money to buy. It would be awesome if you mimicked one of them in one of your own videos. If you could do that then I would love to watch it. Keep them coming!

Came across your channel recently and love your videos. One thing I noticed while watching the turnaround was that something felt a little off. I realised it's that the left arm and left leg are both behind the body whereas in a natural walking motion the arms and legs are opposite (when right leg is stepping forward, the left arm is swinging forward) The build and paint was fantastic, but I think switching up the legs or arms to make them alternating would have made it work better and create a more interesting silhouette.
