Opening MY OLD LEGO SHARPIE CUSTOMS! 2009 - 2010!

After going through my storage unit a while ago, I was able to gather an entire bag full of remaining pieces of my very first custom LEGO minifigs using Sharpies from 2009! For this video, I decided to finally open it up...

Hey man, if you want to restore the sharpied ones, I recommend putting all of them in soapy water, and then coloring over the sharpie with white board marker which should clean a good portion. Also try spraying cheap perfume on them and rubbing it of which also helps :) good day to you :)

I’m glad I wasn’t the only one that ruined minifigs with sharpie 😆 I remember printing decals as well but it was for Minecraft customs 😂

[@mr_h831]

I compeltely forgot about the Minecraft customs phase! But yeah, i too ruined manya clone with sharpies and other things. I used to use this uh, carpenter's measure i think they're called. Or ruler. Anyway it's a metal ruler, and i used to use it to grind or sand down things like fins of clone trooper helmets, or guns of lego figures, sniper rifle scopes, all sorts of crazy things. xD All those customs were terrible. Literal trash fire. But i enjoyed every second of it. So i guess in the long run, it was worth it. Though i do sometimes regret not savng any uncustomized ones.

I remember as a kid watching your videos around 2011-2015 and I recently went through my own collection of clones that were sharpened and painted. funny I was inspired to customize my clones because of your videos back in the day. I'm an adult now but I still cherish the memories, thanks man.

[@noah1130]

I love this. I remember sharpieing clones in hopes of selling them so I could get that same decal phase two Rex from minifigmaker. And I also used a silver paint sharpie on a boba fett too. Lol the nostalgia is real

[@chaselegoman]

I remember watching your videos back in 2010. You were my favorite channel for a while, and a big inspiration. Granted, I regret destroying about 100 Minifigs but those were good times.

[@KH-xi5qe]

Maybe grab some of your favorites and redesign them using the original parts

[@keenanchandler4919]

So you can actually remove the sharpie off of LEGO by getting an old toothbrush, get it and the LEGO wet with warm water. Then you put a bit of toothpaste on the LEGO/toothbrush, and scrub gently, after a while it should work! I did this with a bunch of LEGO that I had drawn on when I was younger

[@SaturdayMorningLive]

Little did young Ross know that putting the helmet holes up above the place where they were supposed to be on a P2 helmet would actually be prophetic

It feels kinda weird to say I remember when you originally showcased a good deal of these figs 9-10 years ago... 😄

[@LM-1378]

Dang, this was a trip down memory lane! Makes me wonder if you still have your old Noble Team customs in your storage locker somewhere (I've been following since 2009-ish).

[@MGFCustoms]

Yes sir! They’re just all in bits and pieces too haha

[@ajpink5880]

ah, White out... when I began making customs, I saw sharpies and White out at the dollar store, and had a few clone troopers. in my mind, that was obviously the cheapest way to go for making customs, paint it white, then sharpie it. .....later I learned, White out really doesn't come off... eventually I learned methods of restoring some of those old parts (lots in this video still look usable) and it's honestly kind of fun to do. old arms that are sharpied to death, great for painting. some sharpie ink will come off with some first aid alcohol, you can scrape off some of the white out with a knife, then paint over the part to hide the scratches. once I learned out to undo stuff like that, I noticed I had a lot more parts to work with lol

[@cheesier5153]

I’m gonna say it, this is my favorite video on your channel. Honestly it really to me shows your journey and how you evolved as a customizer and is very similar to many other people’s journey (including mine) and actually made me decide to try and make a custom with just those old supplies and i think it’s a great challenge so if anyone wants to try it do it and like this comment so Ross will see

[@valthenvega2434]

At last, one video that I’ve been looking forward to in the latest years! Seriously man, it’s so nice to see your trip to nostalgia, I honestly dismantled my first customs to repurpose them later on (rip Starkiller) but to see some of the figs I saw on your channel years ago is an amazing feeling

[@holdobot2281]

I grew up with those figs! Great memories!

[@floatingf8783]

This reminds me of an "Old Wounds" Darth Maul I made as a kid. I had the original Maul minifig from back when the ones on the fridge magnets were fully functional, glued two cut out pieces of paper to a random torso and drew on the chest with markers using a Google Image search of the 2012 promotional shirtless Maul as my reference. I somehow managed to do a spot-on job. I didn't add anything to the arms, they were just straight red. I built absolutely massive cybernetic legs, trying my best to make them match the comic, and although they were accurate they ended up like twice or three times the size of a normal minifigure. I remember Dad being impressed with how good the legs were. Unfortunately Maul never had an Obi-Wan minifigure to fight.
