Custom Black Suit Spider-Man Marvel Legends - Raimi / Tobey Maguire Symbiote

[@danielmontero8200]

Awesome custom! Really liking how it turned out. Though I definitely think upgrading the articulation before dipping the figure in the pot would've been a better idea. I think you'll now be running a risk of paint rub, but hopefully not.

[@CraftyGecko]

Thanks! Yeah that was my initial worry too, but the articulation upgrades I'm thinking of shouldn't cause much paint rub

[@danielmontero8200]

@@CraftyGecko No problem. Here's to hoping you're correct. Paint rub is quite the hassle to deal with in my experience.

[@Tom11025]

Finally someone did the logo and put in effort instead of using a sharpie and calling it a day

[@CraftyGecko]

Haha thank you, I've seen a fair few where they were sprayed black and then silver sharpied. They look ok but they're not quite there

[@keys24.10]

Dude this custom is awesome. I really enjoy watching your videos on things like this because you really can see just how much work goes into these customs and how amazing they come out. Awesome work man. Stay amazing

[@CraftyGecko]

Thank you so much! I'm glad the amount of effort that goes in isn't missed

[@twitchvr411]

This came out great, it actually looks official❤️

[@CraftyGecko]

Thank you!

[@JaxTV1]

Best one I’ve seen so far, incredible work man, keep it up

[@CraftyGecko]

Thank you!

[@Whoopsie00]

Looks great! You should definitely have a look at the shoulder mod for ML to lift them up, it makes a huge difference specifically on this figure, highly recommend it!

[@CraftyGecko]

Thanks!

[@Web-Warrior-ne7sy]

That is an amazing custom! So far of what I've seen your really freaking good at this!! It's just Spectacular customs

[@CraftyGecko]

Thank you so much 😀

[@talkinganimalxtreme]

This came out great I've seen the synthetic dye technique a few times now but this video has made me egar to try it. Sorry KZbin is messing you around I'll share your channel and etsy as much as possible!

[@CraftyGecko]

Thank you so much! Its frustrating for sure, but it just means I have to work a little bit harder

[@s1y22]

He finally did it, the one I've been waiting for, WE'VE been waiting for...Symbiote Raimi Spider-Man, this custom is amazing!

[@CraftyGecko]

Haha thank you!

[@crypticriddler6779]

Fantastic custom! That could easily pass as an official figure. I was wondering when the extra hands would be available on your shop though?

[@CraftyGecko]

Thanks! Well I'm still modelling them at the moment as I said in the video, but I'm hoping to have them done in the next couple weeks

[@shirogameplay]

Man this is fucking dope. Literally the best raimi Black suit custom i've ever seen... Awesone job!!

[@CraftyGecko]

Thank you!

[@Cornholio174]

I love this so much, massive fan of Tobey’s black suit, how has the dye held up on the joints?

[@CraftyGecko]

Thank you so much! The dye seems to be holding up nicely in 5he joints, im not noticing any wear

[@Cornholio174]

@@CraftyGecko That's good, I have 2 figures I want to dye and was hoping the joints would hold up

[@angel-zd1mk]

i feel like this custom is gonna put some dirt in my eye … really good though!

[@CraftyGecko]

Haha thank you

[@kindacarnage6154]

Amazing work! This didn’t get suggested for some reason :/ came through your community post.

[@CraftyGecko]

Thank you! Yeah youtube isn't being particularly helpful at the moment, I guess they changes the algorithm again

[@neilwood5081]

Awesome. Looks just like he did in the movie 👍👍👍👍👍

[@CraftyGecko]

Thanks!

[@andrewoconnor8500]

Awesome job dude! Can I ask when the painted hands holding masks will be back in on your etsy? I keep missing them!!

[@CraftyGecko]

Thanks! I restock weekly on Fridays, I post on my insta story when stocks back in. There should still be some available now

[@Tarnx2007]

I took your advice on the logo change by cutting it thankyou so much I didn’t have miliput but I did use green stuff putty and it turned out great I posted it to my channel as a community post

[@CraftyGecko]

I'll take a look!

[@marcusyee2211]

Hopefully the dye will stay on the figure for you in the long run. I've heard a lot of people who had the dye leak out and fade over time, despite rinsing the excess dye off and sealing it.

[@CraftyGecko]

Thanks, luckily I painted black over the top so it shouldn't make much difference even if it does fade

[@luvedrage3578]

Good job man, I do think you could add some sculpt to make him wider on the “rib”area and for the KZbin issues, I’d recommend a bit more editing to the thumbnails, sometimes it’s hard to see certain words and the emptiness around the characters feels disproportionate personally. Just my opinion though. Keep it up the content is great

[@CraftyGecko]

Thanks! I might have to give both of those suggestions a try. Adding new sculpt would be a lot of effort because I'd have to recreate the fabric texture

[@Slimeblock16]

I know we never got it in live action but u should give the andrew garfield a symbiote suite i think it would look so awsome especially with the stretched spider logo that his suit has u could even take your own desighn choices since we dont know what it wouldve looked like like making the spider logos white.

[@CraftyGecko]

Oh that could be really cool, thank you for the suggestion!

[@Ethanandhisfriends.5559]

I want to customize a SH figurarts ATSV miles morales action figure to look like the suit from into the spider verse. The suit was obviously a spider man suit spray painted over by Miles, but idk how to make the webs and stuff to indicate that. And the logos seem complicated to draw….

[@CraftyGecko]

I would recommend getting a KO sentinel miles in all honesty. I think it would be a struggle to make the ATSV suit look like the ITSV one

[@Ethanandhisfriends.5559]

@@CraftyGecko I can try!

[@CraftyGecko]

You certainly can

[@defaultplayer2772]

Now I need to buy two of Tobey's, 1 is already painfully expensive here and tough to find ha!

[@CraftyGecko]

People seem to be selling him on ebay without his tobey maguire head, might be a good start?

[@defaultplayer2772]

@@CraftyGecko im in PH, the figure goes around PHP1900 MOSC, PHP1500 without the headsculpt. I'll hunt MOSC and use the headscult for a bully Maguire.

[@CraftyGecko]

Oh wow, that's a bit of a hassle

[@purplewraith]

The hand set you talked about doing would those ones be articulated?

[@CraftyGecko]

Most likely not, that's too much strain for such a small print

[@mr.joshua204]

Whats tricky is that if you try to dye hard plastic like the torso, you can warp the plastic and completely fvck youre fugure. Also, use sticky tack used to hang pictures on areas you dont want dyed

[@CraftyGecko]

This is very true

[@bright_side1686]

I wish you have the custom chest logos for the black suit one in the shop 😔 shf n mafex

[@CraftyGecko]

I hand Sculpted it for this figure. I also don't own the shf and the mafex isn't out yet so unfortunately that isn't possible for me

could you use graphite powder to get it the grey tint you want it

Absolutely dope ass custom! I've been trying to make a spider man 3 black suit since spider man 3 literally came out in theaters. I was 8 years old then, I'm 25 now. This is the custom black suit spidey I always dreamed of, we'll done good sir. These days I really wanna not only make these version, but a fan made hypothetical mcu Tom Holland symbiote suit. Anyone got any tips, tricks, or for sale offers, let me know! Also looking for an x - 24 custom from logan, as well as an x men origins wolverine sabertooth custom to go with my incoming magneto and yellow suit wolverine. Again, tips or tricks to custom make x 24 and sabertooth or for sale offers! Reasonable offers tho please, I don't wanna pay 100 dollars for a custom figure I could potentially make myself. Pls someone help!

[@CraftyGecko]

Thank you! There's some really good marvel legends groups on Facebook and reddit that I find helpful for this sort of thing. Facebook tends to have a lot of parts for sale

[@Spider-Drip]

Im going to get flamed for this but i don't like the raimi black suit (the custom is good im just talking about the actual thing) it is really lazy, im aware they tried to make the classic one but weren't able to, they still could have done something more creative than a repaint with slightly different logos anyway another amazing custom gecko!

[@CraftyGecko]

Thank you! I do agree that its on the lazy side. For me it reminds me of my childhood so it will always have a special place in my heart
