Man, that Gohan is looking so nice! Awesome hair work!
Everything looks really good tbh, I've just always hated those hands on the normal Goku, but that's Jakks' fault, lol. Maybe making the wrists slightly skinnier would make a diff? Idk if that can even be done.

I was looking through my old photobucket and found this, and thought it was fitting to post here. This was the very first custom figure I made in 2001 when I was 16 or 17 or something like that. All I had was a small pack of Sculpey III, skin colored paint, and some horrible glow in the dark yellow paint I still have lol.  I guess now you know why I have the temptation to make SS2 Gohan's hair too tall  . |

Lol amazing how much we can improve and yet, how much you probably liked that Gohan when you made him.

I hated that Gohan after making him lol. That's why I like to say that Yardrat Goku and Zarbon were my first customs . |

See, he isn't in this group haha. Though that Krillin of mine was god awful . His pants... oh gosh... his pants...  I had a Lunch Barbie Doll custom to go with my Tien. I don't think I have her anymore?  She looked more like Pamela Anderson  Painting Barbie Doll hair isn't a good idea  Making clothes from duct tape is not the best idea either.  I still own my Zarbon and Chaozu   |

Lol I think the Tien and Yardrat Goku are pretty good, but holy yamman, Yamcha's hair looks funnier than Krillin's pants.  Funny I say that......because that Yamcha head now exists in my collection as my pony-tailed Future Trunks. 12 years later....  |

That Lunch works with the "doll" Tien actually.
Is that the Zarbon from Beckett mag?

FireBobcat will remember this one. It was my self-portrait custom  I remade it a few years later in college for an art class project I was too busy to complete from scratch. It's not very good, but I was still using Sculpey III that I'd harden by boiling, which cannot be sanded and looks like crap  Funny thing is, I look about the same still, still own that shirt in horrible condition, and own a second copy of those exact same shoes and they are still near mint  . Technically I own a second copy of that shirt. It's never been worn and is in my Speed Racer collection in the attic.  Bobcat owns one of these   My poor Yamcha I worked so hard on using inappropriate types of clay   Here's my horrible Krillin   I think the owner of this custom is named Rydgen. He made an appearance on the proboards DBT a few years ago  I hated how this turned out  I still have no idea what I did with my duct tape Oozaru   My Vegeta I modified with Starburst candy... still better than using Sculpey  When I was in college, I sold a lot of my collection because I needed money for school and had no job, and I regretted selling my Turles. Years later I was nostalgic and talking about how the one figure I really missed was Turles. To my surprise, the guy who bought it from me (I didn't know who did... it was sold on ebay) was lurking on DBT, saw my post, and sent Turles back to me for FREE. Nicest thing anybody had ever done for me randomly. So kind.  I still need to fix him up to my current standards. My Zarbon was in a few issues of Becket Magazine  I sold this on ebay and it was pretty great. I found it for sale on ebay a few years ago in a "lot" of figures, and the jerk of a seller wouldn't even take any closeup pictures for me. He was trying to sell it for a lot more than I sold it for too.  I don't know who this sold to either, but I know I sold it for $91 because that was the most I had ever sold a custom figure for back then.

Looks like Bobcat has the first Frieza you posted.
And you threw the duct tape Oozaru away. I'm pretty sure I remember you telling me that.

That duct tape Oozaru was cool. I wonder why I threw it away

Maybe the tape smelt toxic or something.
