This video is for people who are actually interested in making a custom figure. If you don't want to cut the figure apart that is perfectly fine and you don't have to like this video.

Finally someone who shows what you need to make a custom

They need to make more godzilla figures that are articulated and dont cost a arm and a leg, this is the exact reason i switched fandoms, however i do still have a soft spot

Honestly, I think ruining a figure like that is silly, but looking at it from the other side, it's a good way to make an articulated figure if you don't have enough money for a Sh Monsterarts. Good tutorial dude.

This man about to end Sh figurearts whole carrier

This helps me out SO much! Now I don't have to look for overpriced shma figures anymore, instead I can just make my own figures! 😁

I wanna see an articulation video on that figure, it looks GREAT

Tip: also have some white clay in the middle where the ball joint is to cover up it and get some paint and paint it over the clay with the cover of the skin of the figure cut a tiny little line like a circle over the painted clay like s h monster arts figures repeate it for all body limbs so it doesn't look like every part that the ball joint is look like it's just stretched limbs this is for the people that want it to more look like a hiya toys or sh monsterarts or neca figure

Dude! This helped me so much with a bootleg kong figure! Thank you so much for the tutorial its super good for adding articulation

extremely useful vid! i was looking on KZread seeing anyone had a tutorial to make kaiju figures have more articulation because i was customize a Godzilla minus one figure. I don't care if how many likes this video has make it viral!!

This might actually help me make a custom E 102 gamma thx for the vid, I appreciate it!

Finally found a helpful video!! I’ve been searching for hours cause I really want to articulate my Bandai Anguirus but having trouble what parts to cut and stuff

I want to do this but I will probably use actual model kit ball joints because I don’t want the large gaps, thanks so much!

To make the ball joints less obvious, would it be better to cover them up with thin clay and making them deeper? While yes this would limit the ball joints articulation a bit, this would all around benefit the look of the figure, right?

@Atomicmellow

Yeah just push the ball joints down deeper.

Thanks for the tutorial!

This is amazing, it works amazingly

Bro this helped a lot thanks I made my own gigan but it was the final wars one.

I own 2 shma the 2004 and 1989 and in the articulation department i approve of this also gonna try with the burning Godzilla bandai vinyl

Can I ask what you used to get such clean cuts in the figures parts?

I think one more thing you could do is put ruber where you can see the joints just to make it look a bit more realistic but nice job either way

I reccomend you to use epoxy clay it will work better and it doesn't require any glue but it may be heavy when it dries so i reccomend to use just enough for the joint to stick on the clay!

Also you should make a tutorial on how to make the buildings

definitely gonna use this on those ripoff godzilla amphibia and terretris figures

Thanks for this vid I made my own vid how to customize and did the same way as you and it was very successful thank you 😊

That's awesome

Now I know how to articulate figures that can’t articulate

While lego joints work, I recommend handling them with care as they can break easily

I recommend putting the joints deeper so it will hide more of the joint

lol I bought those same joints for a different project. Didn't work out. Might have to try this. Last year I was planning on adding articulation to mine, and giving him actual spinning blades. Heh.. Dunno If I'll still do that, probably not. If I do this I'm definitely gonna try filling the gaps.

@Atomicmellow

Жыл бұрын

Filling the gaps help a lot with the outcome. It helps the ball joint stay in place so when you try to connect it, it will not move

He looks more mechanical now witch is so cool

Nice idea

Now I don’t have to spend $500 for some Sh monsterarts figure. Thank you for saving my wallet

I mostly just needed to know what ball joints to use for my destroyah thx

They are nice but the only problem is the gaps they leave, you can make something there if you want to tho

I think ima try doing this to a small kiryu vinyl i have Its soft and already has decent articulation,however i feel i could add to it It only has: swivel at head,swivel at both arms,waste swivel.and tail swivel No legs Ima try giving it elbow,knee,top of leg,and maybe a ball joint at the middle of the tail Perhaps a hinge at the jaw via chopping it off,adding a bit of clay inside,then feeding a wire through to mimic a hinge Thanks for the tutorial dude :D

Thx for the tutorial 😭I bought the banda kiryu and I can make my own cool figure

are there any alternative's besides the Bandai movie monster figures?

the problem is that the joints are pretty far out, so when you connect them there are these awkward gaps in between the joints, this can be easily fixed be putting some kind of cloth to cover it up though.

Okay, solid idea but it needs some work. The putty needs sanding and painting, the joints also need insetting more cus at the moment our cyborg chicken looks a bit like a giraffe. It's not idea but sometimes when making customs, you do have to sacrifice some articulation for aesthetics. Unless you really want to get in deep with the customizations.
