axelrules These threads are much better for what you are asking. How to Get Started Customizing and Customizing Tips. I don't want to derail this thread off topic any further, so I'll just tell you this: Like most things, customizing is a not a hobby you can get good at over night. It takes a ton of practice and experience. When I first took the plunge into customizing, I already had a lot of experience with painting and such due to many years of modeling and Gundam building. I recommend you do some research on the basics (tools, painting, sculpting) and go from there. And don't be afraid to ask questions! There are many customizers here who could help steer you in the right direction. Good luck!  P.S. Spamming and double/triple posting is pretty much frowned upon. You can always use the "Edit" button to add or change things in your post.

Oh sorry, for the triple posting, but I really dont mind having the figure the color it is, As long as it has the right colors and it is movable, i really dont care about having to shade it or paint it, or customizing it. But thanks i just need help on building it.and also do you need paint or tools such as a modl kit knife or somtg, I have kitchen knives and screwdrivers only. I am pleased with a figure like this Attachment Deleted |

Oh you just need help building it? Well that should be easy enough. Here are some tools you'll need. Attachment DeletedIf you aren't planning on painting it, then these are the basic tools you will need. Any type of model cutter (tool with the red handles): You'll need this to cut out the pieces of your model. These are usually cheap, you can find decent ones for around $5 at your local hobby store. A hobby/x-acto knife: You'll need this to cut any nubs off your pieces after using the cutter. Same as cutters, they can be found cheap almost anywhere. Glue: I personally like Loctite's Gel Control super glue, but it's your choice. There are many other great glues for plastic models. Sand paper: You'll need some sand paper to sand your parts smooth where you cut the nubs off. The finer the grade, the better. A good file also works too. Self healing mat (optional): These things are honestly a great investment if you plan on doing more models. They provide you with a fantastic work space and only cost around $15-$20. However, they aren't a necessity. |

I have some tweezers like the red one you showed if that is the only thing I need. I wonder if anyone in this forum has this goku. |

No I don't own one, but I know a lot about them because I was close to getting the regular Goku version when he came out. And yeah I should have said glue is optional. Some people like using glue even if it isn't required. For instance I know some people who use glue on their Gundam kits. And yes as long as those cutters you have work well, you're good to go.

Thanks so much Dende, I will pick it up, its just 40 bucks, I want to get this one because it is a long wait for the sh figuarts version of battle damaged goku.  And on top of that, I never had legos or toys where you were supposed to build things and use your imagination when I was a kid and I guess this will make up for it. Idk thats why I got interested in this figure. |

Plus, the stand it comes with holds Broly perfectly and you can make him fly without the stand falling over. |
