I activated a discount code, enter FIGUREREALM at checkout and you'll get 10% off any 3D printed items in my shop.

Something I'm noticing after doing this for a bit-

When I see sellers charging $10 *just for the service* of printing, and then charging for the materials on top of that, I think I'm pricing stuff too low. Here I am selling heads for $5 plus shipping, and even researching and making significant edits to models for free, and I think I understand why people have been so happy to buy my prints haha.

I think it's time to get back to work on those figure stands I designed a while back.

Charge whatever price you think your work is worth, no more no less. Keep in mind you're providing a service that few other offer, don't sell your work short. Keep time and material in mind when you work out your prices, it needs to be worth the effort you're putting into this. Consider the same principles you use when selling a custom: Time, materials, shipping, etc.

I'll definitely want to use your service in the future, but I need to find the right models first.

Bionic 6!

Wow, thanks all. I had no idea what this was and was coming up with nothing on my searches. He has been functioning as a cobra villain for me and my son.

Thanks again!

I was gonna guess hillbilly mechanic lol

...somehow I would like to read this answer too.if it is already decided to delete customs,so no one here can see them in public,some people from this public who like this work might also like to know what the reasons for that were.especially in relation to the facts that the artist has listed here...

I don't know who the few other Regulators are, but I wouldn't be surprised if we have different ideas for what's acceptable, so the same submissions may get accepted or rejected depending on who gets to it first.

There may also be a system in place where if a Regulator rejects something, and the person then submits the exact same thing again, it may get auto-rejected. I'm not 100% sure on that, that's why I suggested they contact the admin. (Instead the person made another topic to call us all idiots and left forever, so meh.) ...

If you have questions/concerns, use the Contact link found by clicking through any topic in the Help section, thanks. (You're more likely to get an answer that way)

Thanks for the write-up, def won't be getting it at retail. This is going to be one of those figs I get later in a lot just to see if I can learn something new from the construction.

Glad to help buddy.

I can send you some pics if you like. I took mine apart.

The whole lightning collection line is a mess to avoid. The anatomy is abismal. And they have no excuse after years of making legends. The torsos are way too long. Maybe a neck length too tall. The torso looks stretched or elongated. Chiefly because elected to make the sculpt fit the articulation rather than fit the articulation into the sculpt. With very deep butterfly, upper torso ball and lower torso crunch, on an unmuscular buck. Doesn't fit. It's terrible. And the female body, which we have only seen in the pink ranger so far, the legs are too long. The mmpr figures the belt buckle morpher is terrible, to small and thin, the helmets paint q. C is terrible and often missing, same with weapon accessories missing paint, the newer series figures, has sculpted suit detail which is too deep ...

The only thing I'd say the Figuarts versions do objectively better is the heads. The sculpt and paint is definitely spot on. Other than that it's more of a pick your poison choice.

If you go from top of the belt to bottom of the neck, where the neck joins the torso, you will see the lightning is too long. It's also more obvious in posed photos...., like the promo shot, or if you can find the photo somebody's done of him sitting the the Lord draken figure in the comicon exclusive draken throne. The shield/in packet shot kind of hides the elongation. Compare a posed one to a posed figuarts. I have got capability to paste 2 photos together on my phone.

No. It's bad, and it's starting to trickle into legends the new grey beast figure coming out has the lightning collection torso articulation and it looks. It has a big horizontal cut line in the front, where as if they had put the joint up the other way the cut would be hidden under the upper ball joint torso piece.

Th ...

What do you mean "the lightning is too long"?

Myself I'm not wild about the Figuarts Rangers. They're a little too small in scale for my personal taste, and I don't like how the hip articulation looks near the crotch.

Can you provide a picture of the Red Ranger with the unpainted cuffs? I've been checking photos myself and they have new arms without the cuffs.

I had forgotten about these figs after getting Zedd and the white ranger, glad they're still coming out. I looked up the pink ranger and it looks tiny though...have to find comparison pics.

Looking at the pictures of the Pink Ranger I just realized that they didn't bother giving the girls double jointed elbows either, which is yet another blow against Hasbro. It pisses me off since they've made recent figures with double joints that preserve the aesthetics, like Endgame Black Widow and Proxima Midnight. I don't know why they don't update the elbow joints whenever they have to make a new sculpt.

If you're going to mod Kimberly you might check out the ML Boom Boom. She has a mostly pink body that you might be able to marry with the Lightning Pink.

Awwww, yeah waited a long time just to be disappointed and have to make customs of the chicks. :/ Hopefully the Black Widow/Bike set goes on sale, since that has a full body suit. I wanted the old movie armored versions anyway.

Oh yeah Putties, if they don't go down to $10 like all the unwanted Marvel Legends figs, I'm just going to make my own too lol. More armor, more rock attachments, more brutal.

You should grab a Goldar from Gamestop as well, the sculpt on him is beautiful, though he'll need a repaint to get that golden look. I also recommend Magna Defender as well. I was also able to score a Green Ranger/Putty Patroller two-pack (I mostly wanted the putty, not a big green ranger fan. Looking forward to getting the Red Ranger in December. I don't want to pay an extra 15 bucks to get it scalped.

I agree on the Pink Ranger, I was very disappointed with her sculpt. Arms are a are a little too thin, boots are a little too wide where they meet her legs, the chest diamond is too thin, though I've been told that's because they based her on the American suit which boggles my mind since that's the inferior look. The skirt rides far too high on the body, though it is very flexible so maybe ...

I remember seeing your figure. There was nothing wrong with it and it was very well done, but it did show a nipple!!!! Oh god, a barely noticeable nipple will be this website's undoing!!!! Here lately, the site has begun overreacting. They recently created a special category for my Tom of Finland figures, yet now are giving me trouble over posting a new figure picture. There is nothing in the new one that differs from previous entries.

1] It’s not a "special category", it's simply a series like any other. People can request them too. I also add them for everyone when they submit stuff for a series we don't have listed yet.

2] There's no "site has begun overreacting", like I said, there are like 3 people who manually approve customs. Use the Contact link if you have questions/concerns.

Another idea is to use other websites to showcase your work. This crowd is more into superhero stuff, it may not be the best audience to appreciate your stuff anyway.

I think as of now there are only like 2 to 3 Regulators that have the ability to mess with the Custom Showcase: Me, possibly another guy, and Captain Coder (the admin) himself.

I've been very hands off for months now. I'm not happy with the state of the site and don't feel like expending a bunch of energy on it like I used to. If the site ever got a "modern makeover" maybe I'd care more.

Cap lets a bunch of stuff slide, you can find Nazis and boobies in the Showcase, I think he knows the difference between pornography/malicious imagery/whatever and a custom figure meant as art. ...
