What’s my BEST Marvel Legends base for customizing?..

Sometimes your customs just don't work the way you want! October has me creating...
Here is is the problem, Hasbro Pulse has been putting out new Spider-Man figures but lack quality control. The new windowless boxes have made this extremely difficult to see the problems before purchases. Multiple Spider-Man figures have arrived with defects. Hasbro do better and fix this, answer your emails, support your fans of Marvel Legends.
I love making dioramas and battle scenes for Marvel Legends, McFarlane Toys, Hot Toys and more
After working at a new job for military veteran programming since March 2020, I have tried to make sure that all the fans are up to date on my collection and customs.

Just sharing my thoughts and I will have to make a part 2 maybe to show Vulcan up close..

[@Natedawwggg]

Can’t wait

[@suhtangwong]

Again, one of the best modern ML customizers! Keep up the good work!

[@masonp.7568]

Im pretty shure vulcan is gonna be the new sunfire

[@otakulensphotography]

Right

[@suhtangwong]

No, it's the bucky cap replacement.

[@HenryKasel]

​@suhtangwong he means in terms of customizing 😅

[@suhtangwong]

Another tip I learned is to use nail polish remover (%100 acetone) and use clean* napkin, slowly and smoothly wipe off the outside paint. Don't reuse the same napkin part or it'll rub the paint back on and don't stay in an area too long, it'll dissolve the plastic.

[@otakulensphotography]

I prefer to use 91% alcohol and a bit of aggressive rubbing 🤣. No damage ever with a qtip as well

[@LosMSR]

That's the key of Vulcan, and the reason to be the new Bucky Cap mold.

[@supremeduff]

Vulcan Is My Favorite Build From The Series

[@otakulensphotography]

Yep he is a new standard

[@isaiahtr]

The valcan body is why i bought two extra black panther, gonna make an kit blash invincible

im using vulcan to make an invicible as well

[@isaiahtr]

@@thesource4324 I forgot about this. I ended up using the adult Franklin Richards body. Then I made another out of a body kun

@@isaiahtr how do u do it tho??

[@suhtangwong]

You can buy the Vulcan for sale at target right now! If there are any left, I got 3 for $12.75, waited a week and came back and got 4 more for $7.50 each!

[@otakulensphotography]

Outstanding will have to check

[@Wortwort-Spooderbat]

Because the sunfire body is awesome

[@otakulensphotography]

Absolutely

[@viktorkarrillo7343]

So am really curious about this new Vulcan body. I would of liked to see the new sentry figure on this body can u do it ?

[@otakulensphotography]

I will see what I can do.. got 5 today from TARGET for $7.48 on clearance

[@viktorkarrillo7343]

@@otakulensphotography dam it's already on clearance I have to check it out thanks

[@N2mesnob]

Vulcan is jus a larger Sunfire imo in still on the fence bout it myself

[@suhtangwong]

A good mod of the Vulcan buck is to pull out the arms, snip off the uneccesary long pins and plug back in, now the butterfly joints can move freely! What was hasbro thinking, trying to limit their own figures 🤦🏿‍♂️

[@otakulensphotography]

Yep done this already

[@feqol]

No wonder i keep hearing people talking about sunfire mold

[@ActionFigureTheatrePresents]

Yeah but how can you prep the joints on pinless figures?

[@davidh4290]

I wanna either see has to make a new Deadpool from the new Vulcan body or Spider-Man retro buck or see a custom and make one myself

[@otakulensphotography]

Working on the Vulcan break down video today

[@lareh5501]

I got quite a few vulcans because target had them clearanced downs to $7.50 while their $25 off $100 and $10 off $50 toy sales were going on; AND that figure had an entire torso, arms and extra hands for bonebreaker, that I plan to use for other customs.

[@otakulensphotography]

Outstanding

[@BlueeyedBison]

I love your content, keep up the good work

[@otakulensphotography]

Appreciate your encouragement and support my friend

[@michelalano]

Any tips on disassembling the new “pinless” knee and elbow joints without destroying them?

[@otakulensphotography]

Still working on that one 😳 I did it with my GWTOYS figures but it took a lot of heat. I don’t know the mechanics of them yet

[@suhtangwong]

I think the factory bonds them with special material, kinda like super glue. So you won't be able to disconnect the joints as the plastics components are chemically bonded.

[@Justimight]

Any tips for the knees? Since they're pinless idk if they're removable without destroying the figure

[@otakulensphotography]

I’m not even gonna try to explain how complicated it is. I just swapped them when I need different legs now. Sometimes using pinned or GWToys legs

[@Grpyphon]

I have the worst time pulling off the shins and thighs from Vulcan without tearing the pegs off in the figure.

[@otakulensphotography]

You need a lot more heat. I did in a few videos

[@arsenalprime6933]

Do you know if the Vulcan body works with any of the Peter Parker head sculpts?

[@otakulensphotography]

They do fit. I dremel out all of my heads to fit lower

[@rebeccasoto1998]

How tall are those??

[@thesource4324]

using vulcan to make invicnivle

[@Ashtree498]

How do you remove paint off your finger? I’m starting to do my own custom figures myself.

[@otakulensphotography]

Finger polish remover works well with a toothbrush but honestly I just use dawn dish soap and water and a medium scotch pad with hot water. Sometimes I use toothbrush and 70% rubbing alcohol on tough stuff and glue

[@Ashtree498]

@@otakulensphotography ok thank you, and keep up the good work!

[@aarijgamingreview7354]

can you tell us which paint and which primer you used here?

[@otakulensphotography]

Primer was Tamiya Oxide fine surface primer. Check out the other videos on scarlet spider and Red Hood for more. Vallejo Air reds are my favorite

[@TONBOX777]

Which type of Alcohol for removing paint? Thanks.

[@otakulensphotography]

91% or higher but it takes a lot of work.

[@nhatanhhoangpham700]

How do you prep the butterly joints to avoid paint rubs? Do they come off with boil and pop?

[@otakulensphotography]

Sometimes I take them all the way apart. Honestly I cut away as much friction points as possible from experience. Usually it’s safe to use a figure close to the colors you want or dye them if you can with synthetic dye 1st. Then a fine surface primer and slowly use thin airbrush layers. I seal with Mr. Clear matte from HobbyBASE

[@nhatanhhoangpham700]

@@otakulensphotography awesome! Thanks for the tips!

[@legolasstudios]

Wait so what do you use to remove paint?

[@otakulensphotography]

It’s tricky. Sometimes extra strength nail polish remover but quick. Other times 91% rubbing ETOH

[@themysteriousspeeddemon]

Kinda curious on what the vulcan shoulders look like on the sunfire torso. because I constantly think the sunfire body is alright for lean figures, they just need bigger shoulders or atleast shoulders that goes about the collar bone.

[@otakulensphotography]

Sometimes people swap the Vulcan and the retro Falcon shoulders for that look on different bases. I have tried it on a Deadpool and a Daredevil and they are good. But I went back to the smaller for flexibility in Y poses

[@igorsdead6580]

body mold on sunfire is awful however

Where you get the mechas?

[@Ohm3gaw3apon13]
