Day 4 of making SH Figuarts Metal Cooler

I was only going to post the crotch but that's boring, so I did the tail quick and finished it up thanks to the eBay guy. The tail was a bit complicated because I felt like the clay was melting in my hand while sculpting the lines on it and had to redo it... 4 TIMES. But it finally came out like this, and im glad of the results. Anyways huge thanks to the people supporting me, and im slowly becoming faster on doing these.

Day 3 of making SH Figuarts Metal Cooler

I did the torso for today, and i think it turned out well. I was basing it off this guy on eBay selling metal coolers parts separate being overpriced. But I think im going to a faster pace now. For the accessories, I'll most likely just do the regenerating arm, but let me know if you want to see other different accessories.

Day 2 of making SH FIGUARTS Metal Cooler

For today, I did the head, and I had to completely redo it because I had no idea what I was doing. Because of the shiny paint, i couldn't see metal coolers design well and took about 2 HOURS doing it. But I realized it looked ugly and just destroyed it and crumbled it on my hand because I was pissed. But I redid it in less than 2 hours, and this is what I got. This head turned out WAY better than the last one I had. Trust me, if you had seen the other head, you guys would have flamed me. Anyways, frieza and majin buu are easy difficulty, but metal cooler I'd say is medium difficulty because of the shiny paint. It's kind of hard to do as well for the details it has.

(FINAL WINNER) Day 1 of making SH Figuarts Metal Cooler

6 votes for Metal Cooler, 4 votes for Moro, 3 votes for Great Saiyaman, and 1 vote for Buutenks. (The amount of how many votes they got is the order I'll be doing these customs. For example, moro is next)

I really think metal cooler is the easiest one to do, but I feel like I won't be able to see the details because of the shiny in the paint. Also, this one has WAY more lego joints on the tail it has like 5. To be honest, I didn't even think there were gonna be enough lego pieces to make another one, but I was lucky enough to get them scrambled around my house. Also, on the rotating shoulder part between the arm, I changed the type of piece I'll use and instead ill be using a smaller one in the second image I showed. (It's the one on the right, the left one I decided I won't use it)

I need your help

I make custom action figures from scratch using Lego as the peg articulation and clay as the mold itself. But I ran out of Lego pieces to use, so i found this link that had 105 pieces.

Lego pegs: https://a.co/d/0gU3PhxB

It seems obvious that I should get those, but the problem is that people have told me to get ACTUAL articulation pegs, but I have no idea where to buy them. I prefer to buy them off of Amazon, so I'd appreciate it if somebody dropped a link in the comments for a decent price with lots of pegs for less than 20 dollars. I found this result down below but they have only 13 pieces and I need way more, so again id appreciate if someone dropped a link or know a store where I can get them for a cheap price.

Who is my next custom? (DISCUSSION)

(Moro), (Buutenks), (The Great Saiyaman), and (Metal Cooler). I can't decide who to do because I kinda ran out of the Lego Peg things, so now I can only do one. I would like to do moro or buutenks more since I really like buutenks and moro because I want to do the sculpted hand where it gets crushed by punching gokus abs.

Day 10 (FINAL RESULT) of making SH Figuarts Majin Buu Good (no cape)

Im so glad with the results of this. With confidence, I can say this turned out at least 3 times better than my frieza. You see, the peg in the hands for my frieza actually just broke, and only one of them i could glue it. Anyways, I'll do one last update of this figure once I have the fabric cape ready AND babidi. I mean, the articulation is decent while the torso can't bend that much it can rotate, which im glad. Most likely, i will be doing the other accessories since this one came out way better than my frieza. Also, huge thanks to the supportive people out there.

Day 9 of making SH Figuarts Majin Buu Good + Fixing Stomach & Wideness

I just did this for today, and I'll be painting it tomorrow. Most likely, by tomorrow, I'll have the full figure ready with paint and accessories. I dont have much to say for this, but I've been looking at the comments and the support people are showing for this. Im glad this turned out better than my full power frieza. Let me know if I should do babidi, and I'll be doing the cape out of fabric.

Arm comparison of FPF & Majin Buu Good

This is an extra post I wanted to show you guys because some of you were saying that the arms for my majin buu were even bigger than my full power frieza, but I did them smaller this time. I admit they still look somewhat big, but I improved from last time

Day 6, 7, and 8 of making SH Figuarts Majin Buu Good

Im fully done with the legs, including paint. So now I just have to work on the rest. I think this came out perfect except that the knee joint is showing too much, and I completely forgot to count that as size, but I assure you the legs aren't that big. Anyways, this is it for today, and tomorrow, I'll be showing more results on the rest of the body

Day 4 of making SH Figuarts Majin Buu Good

I got to finish both arms for today, and I think the hands turned out really well. Im really proud of the results for the hands and how they turned out. Sorry for posting a bit late, but I didn't have time to work on this much today. Anyways, this is all I have to say and show you for today, but I'll be uploading tomorrow.

As a guy, I LOVE SAILORMOON

The 90s anime is just so good for some reason. Now, before you think anything weird, I like sailor moon because of plot, characters, and humor, which is something I feel crystal is missing. I have seen the whole anime at least twice, I believe, but the first season, I think I've seen it like 5 times already😭

I genuinely love all the characters. I dont think there is one I dislike or hate, but my favorite one has to be Rei (sailor mars). Turns out that 50% of the whole anime is FILLER!? I didn't even know this until I looked it up. That's why I felt crystal so short, because everything was just FILLER. Anyways I've always loved the style and aesthetic of this anime.

My personal rating 10/10 every episode kept me entertained.

Day 3 of making SH Figuarts Majin Buu Good

I did the torso, which is just half the body, so i still need to do the other half. It's probably a weird choice of colors for the clay, but remember, I'll be painting it at the end, and the clay colors are mixed. I think I'll be done with both arms fully by tomorrow because they are smaller, but I'll be showing those results later. Anyways I've been working on this less time now because im either watching the World Cup or watching other stuff. But yeah, thanks to all the people who think this will turn out better than the last one, and let me know if i should do babidi.

Tambourine was WAY COLDER than you remember

You guys probably forgot about this dude, right? This dude was probably tuffer than the ginyu force. He was just COLD, and I'll prove it with some examples and images.

FIRST: He kicked krillin's face so hard he SNAPPED his neck. That is just brutal

SECOND: He packed goku with little to no effort and DESTROYED his nimbus cloud

THIRD: HE GOES HUNTING ALL THE FIGHTERS FROM THE TOURNAMENT. The dude was moving like namek vegeta🔥

FOURTH: He kills nam and his entire clan. He electrocuted "bacterian" in an alleyway. BUT THE MOST BRUTAL DEATH... he left wolf man corpse sitting in a river... WITH HIS BUSSINES CARD ON HIS BODY
