How to Pick Who to Make into an Action Figure
When deciding which characters to turn into action figures, consider which are your favorites. Do you enjoy strong, brave characters, or do you like them funny and clever? It’s also fun to choose a character that doesn’t already have a lot of toys available. That way, your Custom Action Figure will feel extra special.
From Clothing and Facial Expression
Customizing your action figure is all in the details. Start with the costume. Find pictures of your character and look at the colors and patterns that they wear. For their face, consider what expression reveals their personality the best. Is it a big, brave smile, or a serious, heroic expression? These small touches will help to make your action figure your very own.
Creating your Own Custom Action Figure
You’ll need a couple of key supplies to begin creating your action figure. First, to prepare, grab your molding clay or other plastic substance that you can mold and dry into the cup. You’re also going to want some paint that adheres to plastic, some fine brushes if you want to get into detailed painting, and maybe even some fabric, if you’re feeling ambitious and want to make a little costume. Be sure you have a good workspace where you can be messy!
How to Make and Paint Your Figure Step by Step
First step, make your character’s body out of the clay or plastic. The head, arms and legs can be made separately and then put in place. Use tools once you are done with the basic shape to add details such as hair and clothes. Once everything is formed and hardened paint your Custom Plush Toy. Add highlights and details like the eyes and the logos on the costume using small brushes.
Fun Ways to Display Your Custom Action Figure
Now that your action figure is complete, it’s time to show it off! You can stand it on a shelf next to other toys and figures. Another neat idea that we're sure some collectors will jump on is to create a sort of custom figure display stand. You can even create a little scene around it, like a tiny model of the character’s home or a well-known setting in the story.
Making your own action figure can be a fun way to work with your hands and customize the Doll Costume figure on your way. Following the following, and using your imagination, you’ll be able to do something really cool to display your affection for your favorite stories and heroes.
