I like 'em. You fit in the role for the most part. Maybe thanks to some photoshop haha
I think you have officially inspired me to make a custom of myself for what I was in Halloween 2009. James Bond. Those are to date, the best pictures ever taken of me. Maybe not by quality, but of me lol

I could make DBE Yamcha into my Barnabas Collins character from the past two Halloweens without too much trouble, particularly since I can use the Roshi head. Only problem is, they are both missing their left hands

IF Labs DB KrillinDifficulty: 8/10 How to make: This was actually quite difficult, mostly due to not being efficient and things breaking. Instead of explaining the way I did things, I'll explain the way things should have been done. First thing, remove Goku's hair. Remove the head, because you'll have to drill it over a lot so it will fit over the neck. Without Goku's hair, the neck looks really long, so you have to sink the neck into the head at least 1/8 inch. Make new neck articulation with the drill, hot glue, and plastic model kit tree method. I swapped the hands from the other DB IF Labs Goku figure. I don't recommend it. Nothing but problems with breaking pegs. I decided to change Goku's expression to something else. So I did that for Krillin. I then spent forever using tons of Apoxie Sculpt to fill the backside of Goku's head and make him have a somewhat round head. After a combined (estimated) 12 hours of sanding, I finally had a nice, round head. I repainted everything that needed it. A very time consuming, difficult custom. I probably should have done one more coat of watered down white on the eyes, but I'll do that some other time. I think you'd be surprised how much sculpting and work had to be done to this figure. Not an easy or fast custom at all.

I may not have Krillin's head all the way on, so his neck doesn't look that much shorter than Goku's in all of these pics.

These turned out pretty nice! love the sculpt on Goku's face/expression. Krillin looks nice, although his eyes could use a bit paint. They look like the white paint is coming off.

Oh, I accidentally wrote something that got misinterpreted. I didn't modify Goku at all.  If I was going to modify Goku, I'd repaint his skin, but he's just a figure straight out of the package! |

Krillin is great. Perfectly round head....that's not always easy. Had to do that on my current Young Tien custom. His new mouth looks right for Krillin too. The eyes are fine, could be whiter, but my only real complaint is that I'd have painted his wristbands a pure blue, instead of the navy, almost dark-navy they are.
And Goku is totally Mexican now. Repaint his skin!
Btw, nice to have you back in the game.

I just tried to match his shoes. IF Labs (and Irwin to some extent) were always very creative with their paint colors and didn't use standard paint colors, or colors you'd expect. Jakks/Giant Ape matched their colors pretty well on these, but didn't paint things as nicely. I actually used a very dark teal color for his wristbands. Isn't that weird? I'm not going to mess with Goku. He's a legit IF Labs version, not Jakks/Giant Ape, so he's going to remain how he is.  Krillin was made from a Jakks/Giant Ape Goku, which is why his clothing is a slightly different color and his shoes aren't painted as neatly. Just an interesting tidbit. |

Fraid not lol, but this leaves me with only 1 Krillin left to make to complete my Krillin collection. I need a 5 inch scale Krillin and all I'm waiting on is to find a chara puchi DB Krillin head so I can complete the custom.

. Something else interesting is just how much longer my arms are than his. It's no wonder I can't get muscle, my arms are too long for it to work.
