How to MAKE YOUR OWN ACTION FIGURE! (Using NON-DESTRUCTIVE vintage toy sampling!)
Ойын-сауық
This is how I made my own action figure, without being a real sculptor, and without having to cut up other figures for parts. I hope it inspires you to try making your own figures!

Yes, 100%! For now. :D Sorry for the delays (and any concern) - I had to switch to an entirely new NLE (editing software) after a decade of being used to my old one. At the same time, I decided to make the switch over to 4K and capture hardware, and that came with way more hassle than I anticipated. :)

Crafsman is the Bob Ross of toy making. I love this stuff
That spider trick is what we use on surveys! To see how many spiders are actively hunting in what weather :D that little jumping spider was lifting her legs to show how big she was, saying 'dont eat me im too big and scary!!' Too cute ^^
Every single time you show something made by Crafson I'm absolutely blown away by the skill, talent, style and character on display.

I really felt it in my soul when the Speak & Spell said "Treasure every extra egg". Also man, this is a fascinating video - seeing the figure come to life is amazing!
This video is so incredibly high quality at every turn- it's like you consistently double down on what makes Crafsman great, each and every time. Although this might have tempted me to take up on an extra side project 👀 In the wise words of the great lyricist: Believe. Achieve. Courage. That is right. Almost. Almost. Almost. Treasure. Every. Extra. Egg.

That's an absolute ton of work to make this. But it looked like so much fun. Keep on craftin Crafsman!
Count me as one vote for doing whatever you like with your figures, sir. You paid for them! Crafson's creative skills are growing every time you show us something. Also, love the sound track for this episode.

This is a brilliant concept Crafsman. BTW, I am a BIG fan of potentially unnecessary control panels. BIG FAN. "Piece of the resistance." : ) The final Bash Bot came out great. Kudos to Crafson on his action figure. It's so COOL! I love this episode, man.

I was quite blown away by this video, sir. This is the first video of yours that I have watched and I have some feedback. You are truly skilled and talented at toy-making. You are an expert, but what I am noticing is that your attention to detail carries over to video making. The next time I try to produce a video of some sort, I am going to think of you and the way you did this video. Watching some of this video for the second time, I noticed your "Caution: Wear you some gloves" sign on the corner of your table. Love it. The photography, sound effects, music selection and extra details alone would make this a really good video but there's more. Adding a heavy dose of knowledge, personality, humor, branding and a great voice have truly put this video over the top. Excellent, excellent work.

I didn't know about the spider-finding trick! I love watching spiders in their natural environment. Thank you for showing some love to creatures that aren't as "cuddly" as other ones! :)
Could see that this was a real labour of love. Happy to witness it.
Perfect Steady Craftin video. Anyody else want to see TheCrafsman do a series of nature videos? That spider intermission made me want MORE!
One of the very few KZread channels left where you get really genuinely excited when they post a new video..... You know I'm right.....
You have such a great way of breaking down intimidating processes and making them approachable. Thank you for taking the time to make this.
lovely episode Crafsman!
“Piece of the resistance” that one got me good 😂
I LOVE YOU Brody!!! U made my day sooooooo very much worth LIVING.... LOVE YA CRAFSMAN
I appreciate the blooper real included, it reminds me that we all goof up and drop the project sometimes 😊
There is sincerely no better channel on this site.
I have attempted to watch this four times now, and fell asleep every time. Its good.
I'm just so glad the dancing animation brought me to discover this gem of a channel, been watching you since.
I remember as a kid I would cut and glue custom LEGO weapons for my minifigs. Your kitbashing videos reminded me of that
Cutting up figures was my biggest reservation before I really got into customizing. Thanks Crafsman, now I'm inspired to do non-destructing sampling. ^^
The Spider bit made me laugh out loud like I've never did for a long long time. Thank you, Crafsman.
My goodness, you've really outdone yourself with this video. I found myself constantly in awe of the Crafsmanship on display here! From the shots to the soundscape, the music, the use of color, the pacing, the narration... This video is like sinking into a warm bubble bath. Awesome. Absolutely above and beyond.
Craftsman, genuinely you bring a smile to my face. Keep following where your heart takes you in life and I hope more content is where that is
FANTASTIC episode, Crafsman!
I've been so stressed out this week, and I was trying to think of something to watch that always relaxes me. Crafsman is back and better than ever! What a nice surprise!

You don’t have to sell me…I’m already a subscriber!
Love it!!! Such an impressive video

Those shots where you play old episodes on an old TV are sooooo pretty! They have such a lovely feel to them!
this is such a sweet idea!
The figure that was sculpted by Crafson is awesome 👏 👏👏 Has a kind of Beetle Bailey / Blondie kind of aesthetic to it 👍🏻

Love the editing on this! Also really appreciative as always of the tips on how to do things more affordably and the in depth advice on various different steps like showing how apoxie works after various times, I probably would've just jumped straight to trying to sculpt then got all frustrated. The music is super good too, really catchy! Thank you as always for all of the care and work you put in to your videos! I love that this is also a good way to keep figure in scale while getting new custom figures. Fab as usual Crafsman!
This looks like a lot of fun. Thanks for another great video, Crafsman!
