Why SHE makes the best EMMA FROST | Custom Figure

Who would make the perfect Emma Frost figure? I've got the answer- and it's not who you'd expect! Using a Helena Shaw (Fleabag's Phoebe Waller-Bridge) action figure from Hasbro's Indiana Jones Dial of Destiny movie and 30 minutes of your time- YOU can make an EASY Emma Frost custom with NO PAINT or SCULPTING required!

Who would YOU like to see customized next?

[@daftnovafunkix7576]

Probably the mafex 185 Spider-Man.

[@thelicensednerd1626]

You might as well just give a cloth cape to the original figure and save $20

[@floorboss]

Jup! You're right. Or ya can Save at least $10 & Buy A good wired cloth cap for $15 (or less) & don't buy the $25 _Indiana Jones & the insufferable feminist_ figure. > Although the process He's showing off was fun to watch & A very witty idea.

[@enderland18]

I know right. This custom just gives her an unnecessarily disproportioned upper torso

[@floorboss]

@@enderland18 Exactly.

[@skabcat242]

Wow. I had a feeling Fleabag had some custom potential. I will wait either one to go on clearance.

[@RobVsToys]

For sure! Happy hunting!

[@elcarajo66]

Very creative. Now that's a kitbash I never would've thought of on my own. 🤔👍

[@RobVsToys]

Much appreciated! I love the randomness of kitbash ideas- gives the hobby a whole new dimension of fun!

[@galacticmanlarry582]

A neat tutorial of a very affordable and doable custom, keep them vids coming Rob! 👏🏽

[@suhtangwong]

That poseability is noice! Hasbro, take notes.

[@StigmaNYC]

Great job!

[@simypkl]

Bro, to avoid making holes on the corset, instead of pulling it out, you could have use the small blade to cut out the cape which you are not going to use, then use your sand or dremo to smoothen the extra rubber so that the corset is in perfect round top shape... wanna try again ?hahaha

[@RobVsToys]

That's the thing, the cape has pegs on the front that punch thru the corset and are glued into her chest. There may be a way to be super careful and slice thru the peg in the back and then sand down the front, but it may be quicker easier to just sculpt it

[@simypkl]

​@@RobVsToys oh yes, I forgot about that. Part 1 - the front of the corset I think you are good at that if you cut Part 2 - is between the corset and the chest. I saw people use a heated thin wire to slice thru white foam, but it will be tough to use the wire as if it is a line, into a needle hole, and pierce it over between the chest and the corset and then up down movement saw it out okay, I am making complicated , haha, sorry thanks to your video. I really love to buy 2 Emma as I have the older 2 which has 2 extra heads

[@jonathanhampshire6856]

​@@RobVsToysMilliput make a white putty that would work well.

[@benjaminwiseman6567]

​@@RobVsToys Xacto knife with the plastic attachment, cutting closer to the cape, then sand the bumps

[@theweekendgamer]

This was very funny to watch. Now I'll be watching out for ol' Fleabag to hit discount.

[@RobVsToys]

Glad to hear- cheers!

[@johncarter7454]

Nice and simple.

[@RobVsToys]

Keeping it straightforward!

[@LosMSR]

Now that I know the corset is glued on, seems even more odd the idea of a glued cape.

[@RobVsToys]

Right? They should have kept it tabbed on the front too, or a least rigid in front so that people could remove it

[@xavierfox13]

I love your creativity! You’re dope!!! That neck after is very ChOde like ! I wonder how the hellfire club version articulates ? Again you’re amazing ! Thank you for your artistry !

[@thomasvanger5644]

Honestly, it didn't look so good after customization.

[@RobVsToys]

Fair enough!

[@mike91mdk45]

The most useful phoebe's character's been yet

[@brucelaborin2124]

I loved everything up until the choice of cloth. I would go with basic white, myself. Everything you showed us in this video is mondo-cool! Thanks for the ingenuity, because I've been frowning on that crappy plastic cape forever, and decided to cut it off. I was waiting for inspiration to strike me, because I felt that even the articulation needed a little help. 👍

[@jeremygreen2883]

The butchering on the corset makes this customization a big no for me. The Indiana Jones figures might be bargain bin eventually, but I don't see Emma making it there. She has been pretty hard to find where I live. I think I'll keep mine unaltered on the shelf.

[@RobVsToys]

These figs' distribution is wacky- there's nothing BUT emmas out here in Los Angeles. Would be nice to see some Monets or Chambers, just to mix it up!

[@junkioncraftsandbuilds]

Emma is 12 bucks clearance right now at target

[@Batmikeman]

Very very nice bro 👍😎

[@ianstolle8304]

This works a little too well, but it's something that I'm definitely going to do!

[@RobVsToys]

Cheers, let me know how it goes!

[@criticalspectrum8383]

Pretty good

[@django60617]

the avengers black widow's angry face head from target looks fantastic on the flea bag body.

[@The_Notorious_N.O.E.]

Well done, sir 👍

[@RobVsToys]

Thank you kindly!

[@r.davidhill7639]

Great video sir.

[@RobVsToys]

Thank you kindly!

[@Vault101.3D]

It just needs a white chocker on the neck :O but pretty cool

[@RobVsToys]

Yeah! I'll need to look to see if McFarlane Catwoman figs have a removable one to keep it simple. I thought the Madam Cobra figs were swappable too, but nope, they're glued on. Should be easy enough to make one from scratch too!

[@Vault101.3D]

@@RobVsToys with a heat gun it didn't came off? Yeah! You could use flexible cold porcelain to sculpt it or just making a simple ring and paint it white. The only thing You should do is making the choker thicker and leave it yo dry on the custom emma neck cause flexible cold porcelain tends to shriek like a quarter of it's size when it's dry D:

[@MTB214]

That looks great. Repainting clothes black and a black cape would make her a great Darth Zannah custom. I turned the new spider Gwen figure into a custom Darth Zannah. The wrestler Alexa Bliss would be great for that too.

[@RobVsToys]

Solid idea!

[@thornofsociety6857]

Perhaps one of the Liv Morgan heads aswell for the makeup?

[@binoched9302]

How did you separate Helena's torso exactly?

[@Shorai_3]

Emma looks like an adult M3gan.

[@RobVsToys]

Now I can't unsee it

[@ankzuy2532]

this is genius 😍 please do more of these videos 👌

[@RobVsToys]

Will do, I've got a couple more in the works! Cheers!

[@ucitymetalhead]

Looks great but the holes in the corset would have to be patched maybe with a couple of pieces of the old cape.

[@RobVsToys]

For sure! I was thinking about doing either that, or sculpting em in with milliput. I'll play around with it!

[@renatomism]

Wait a minute... there is a Fleabag figure?? I need one! I don't care about Emma 😂😂😂

[@RobVsToys]

For sure! Cool thing is that she'd be easy enough to head swap onto a more modern costume too

[@jeffbastin3098]

Nice job.

[@RobVsToys]

Thank you, cheers!

[@mrdude88]

Does anyone know if there exists pliers with soft but rigid teeth to grip?

[@RobVsToys]

There is! There are both slip-on sleeves and standalone Soft Jaw pliers out there. Amazon has a bunch for about $15!

[@oliverwarren-cole9426]

At 5:12 the combined sculpt looks like sh figuart and mafex style

[@ELight-ku1zy]

You got a sub… And a nice custom figure.. I don’t have any Emma frost figure … Also there’s a loose collector action figure That look like Emma frost Pre order for 2024.. Still like your creative work rob vs toys…

[@Christina-bl4cv]

The idea is solid, but the Fleabag neck is weird, it makes Emma look like she has a goiter. The corset definitely needs repair, it is unsightly. The cape references her diamond form, but she never wore a sparkly diamond style cape like that, it was always pure white. It would be better for you to get a satin white cloth, some bendy wire and make a better cape. For as much as the idea to improve Emma's articulation, it is unnecessary as she was never a combat specialist. She is most likely best posed as an ice queen, so the pre-modified version is still probably best.

[@RobVsToys]

Fair enough!

[@floorboss]

And that ya loose Emma's cleavage (not that initially there was alot) & the final products torso looks really off an gangly. Esp When it's standing up. Plus you can Easily Razor 🌙 crescent in your own butterflys when the figures hot. Which arguably works waaay better w/ _McFarlane_ DC MULTIVERSE figures (w/ Legends results may very).

[@FracturedReality777]

The neck for fleabag probably comes from the giraffe necked GI Baroness (Origins Snake eye movie version). That figure looks better if you cut off part of the bottom of the neck. Same principle might apply here.

[@FernandoGastelo]

Nicee you turned a Legends into a Mafex!

[@RobVsToys]

Cheers!

[@BGFTOYS]

its cool but i dont think it looks that great tbh but I appreciate the effort

[@bladerj]

I have seen for years people drimelling the torso to get more range.....so WHY THE HELL the companies dont make it bigger ?

[@CottoNeo]

Very nice, now you can make more and sell it for $50 without the head.

[@RobVsToys]

You know, if people would be interested...

[@dakotagonet3311]

At least Fleabag is good for something!

[@russelllemieux]

Fleabag ....

[@gibblet8368]

This cloak looks like toilet paper😆

[@RobVsToys]

LOL- pretty sure that fabric swatch was probably cheaper than a roll too

[@thewolfpacktoyreview]

Emma’s going for 12 & change rn so this is worth the risk for me. Good hack bro

[@RobVsToys]

Cheers- have fun with the custom!

[@luckymckenzie]

Serious?? This is a joke? It turned out terrible! Spoiled 2 figures!

[@RobVsToys]

Suit yourself, I'd rather have an action figure that can move instead of a statue that can't

[@suhtangwong]

Wow that was rude and unnecessary 🤦🏿‍♂️ some people prefer mobility over looks and I didn't think it turned out bad at all. Good kitbash.

[@Goon-tron]

Gyat

[@RockerBoy28]

you kinda sound like ron swanson from parks and rec

[@thornofsociety6857]

Kind of reminds me of the old Toybiz style, which were hit and miss in terms of looking good or not. Buy there worse ones. Why do so many get Lara's name wrong? :p

[@DanielS2001]

The only thing the Helena figure is really good for: customs. And barely at that.

[@RobVsToys]

Hey, I'll take that tho. Same's true for when the Thor3 figures went on sale- having a wide availability of pinless arms and joints is always a plus!

[@DanielS2001]

@@RobVsToys Honestly, I've thought about how easy it would be that, if they release a Willie from Temple of Doom figure, a simple head swap, lower leg swap and black paint on the pants and you could have a rendering of Willie as she is in the final scene of the film. But yeah, there's more modern Marvel action figures that are useful for fodder than they are for actual collectability.

[@Dragondude2525]

7:43 “two figures that will be on clearance before you know it”… in the US. What about for everyone else that might be watching your content internationally where clearance sales don’t really happen. In Canada these two figures will set you back 80$ and at best will only ever go on sale for maybe 7$ off.

[@RobVsToys]

You know, you're certainly right. eBay may be an alternate option, but I'm sure the exchange rate or VAT would probably butcher that option too. If I could ask, how's the usual distribution of figs from mainline companies like Hasbro, McFarlane and Mattel in Canada?

[@Devious_Reviews]

It's nice to know Shaw is good for something. 1 point for being a donor ... and minus several million for existing in the first place. These doll/figuring channels I've stumbled upon by accident in the last 16 years have always been interesting. Fans and hobbyists doing what the makers can't or won't is a treat. :)

[@rickytoddbotelho9555]

How is that the monkeys and globs of shit at hascrap couldn't figure this out. That making an apocalyptic mistake like this would leas to a real frost that will cover Disney and be doom of the multiverse 😂

[@elcarajo66]

Sometimes it just feels like plain laziness on Hasbro's part. Definitely NOT a fan -run environment. 🤔🤷‍♂️

[@ramram-arg]

Honestly, it looks like crap. Idk if you were serious about it and you really think you improved the figure.

[@RobVsToys]

To each their own

[@55pepetube]

The new neck is too thick.

[@suhtangwong]

Wow, didn't expect all the hate comments, honestly think this is a good kitbash, sure it ain't perfect, but what is? Definitely prefer articulation over looks.

[@DekaAvalanche]

a worn-out corset... no thanks.

[@cyberfrank-bx2nv]

nice trick, but she s still a pass for me, her face looks bad, we can t really remove the bothersome cloth as it makes holes... who ever thought of this should be fired and worst of all, no grabbing hands... she can t hold a gun or anything... I m in the market for grabbing hands now, too many figs can t grab cat droppings.. I like doing things 'out of character', like Aunt May running with an axe or Mary Jane with a chainsaw but they have expressive hands, can t hold a thing so now you know... good show bro

[@jakeannison6513]

That looks absolutely horrible

[@thunderbear9418]

Emma Frost is supposed to be very pretty. Neither of those faces are Emma worthy. Also that cape looks quite cheap for her.

[@RobVsToys]

Hard agree on the cape. I def want to go back and give it a second go with better material
