I think the best thing I see about this is SS2 Goku. That's a form that doesn't get much live and can possibly be used for a custom!

Finished up another one, y'all! Kid Gohan (Frieza Saga)Head: Chara Puchi Gohan in Armor Body: DWC Saiyan Saga Vegeta Modifications: Not a whole lot! I added some height to the waist and calves for some height to make him a better scale. I also sculpted the boots a little taller over the legs so it wouldn't look awkward haha. Only other thing I did was add that little ring thing between the torso and legs. Then I repainted everything except for the face. His head can move but otherwise there's no articulation. Overall, I'm really happy with him! I've had this basically put together for a few years now, so I'm glad to finally see it finished. Still not a perfect paint job, but I'm happy with it. And with some other Kid Gohans: Thanks for looking!

yummypixels yeah the Saiyans would be great! And Piccolo... haha, but yeah, Kid Goku would be sweet, too. If he wouldn't go in the same room as this Goku, I'd say go for it! I'm gonna go check out the unboxing!

He's a good figure, definitely worth it! And Inknow you have your custom (which is awesome) so this one works well as a body for a couple different customs.

Master Roshi (DBZ - 25th World Tournament Saga)Roshi Figure: AB Toys Cane: IF Labs Roshi Cane Modifications: All I really did here was repaint Roshi's Clothes to be accurate to the Buu Saga. As for the cane, it was originally much larger, but I cut it down, glued it back together, sanded it smooth, and repainted. Its not perfect, but it beats trying to find the AB cane! Vados (DBS - Champa Saga)
Torso, Arms, Legs, Shoes, Staff, Halo, Sash: Bootleg DXF Whis Figure Sleeves: Irwin Dr. Gero Head: WCF Vados Modifications: Wow, this one was tough for me! The bootleg Whis is much taller, probably meant for a more Figuarts-Scale, but it's definitely the best base for this. I cut her legs down by probably about an inch (don't hold me to that, I didn't really measure haha). Vados wears heels, so I took the Whis shoes off, cut a chunk of them from the middle and reattached the tips of the shoes back. Then I sanded / carved the Whis shoes away so they were completely flat. Then I sculpted the heels, which was a pain for me! The soles of the shoes gave me so many problems, ugh, but overall I think they look pretty nice. I had to remove Whis's decoration thing from the front of the outfit completely. I resculpted the skirt area to be accurate and sculpted the front and back decoration thing from scratch. Whis's torso is completely flat, so I had to completely resculpt her upper body to add breasts and all the little designs and trim. Dr. Gero's sleeves had lines in them that I took my Dremel to and sanded away. The only thing I had to do to the head was drill a tiny hole into the ponytail holder for the halo. Then I repainted everything except the head. I matched the neck color as best as I could, but I knew I did NOT want to repaint the head, considering this was really my first time fully painting a custom. The paint job isn't flawless by any means, but I'm pretty pleased with it, all things considered. Honestly, I'm really glad I actually went for this custom because I was on the verge of just quitting customs completely! I loved sculpting but I didn't see any point if I wasn't going to paint them. But I'm glad I don't feel that way anymore. I'll definitely be taking a break for a few days between things, it probably won't be until next week that I really work on anything. Anyways, yeah, I'm overall very pleased. I also just realized I forgot the little circle designs on the garb, but I'll make some later on with sticker paper. I couldn't wait to post her! Also, wow, I'm sorry for the lower quality images! I really need a good camera, but I am le broke right now, as a normal college student is LOL. Thanks for looking and hope y'all enjoy! **Edit: I've replaced the front view with an updated image with the circle designs.

Haha, how was Spider-Man? I saw Wonder Woman tonight and it was fantastic!
I don't currently have a Champa, but I have plans after I get some stuff! Right now I'm trying to focus on finishing up some of my previous works with some paint.

Thanks y'all! I'm really excited to finish her up. I'm waiting on a part that should come in soon to finish her. In the meantime I have repaint I'm working that I should finish tomorrow. Branjita, I have a question about applying clear coat. I have Model Masters Flat Clear Acryl. Do you thin it out before applying? Also do you just brush it on or airbrush it?

Here's the custom WIP of Vados I mentioned in the other thread! If anyone is wondering, Nappa is still in progress, I actually now have plans to finish him and some older customs.

Someone named Eric Soto on Facebook posted this comparison shot of an old Chara Puchi Goku with two of the new Chara Puchi he got from Hot Topic. This is exciting! They DIDN'T change the size of them! There might be some heads for customizers like Adrenaline and ssj2dakota I have Frost! He's pretty good, I like him, and I have plans for a custom later! I actually have a custom I'm working on right now that I'm really excited to post pictures of soon I actually painted it!
