was off all day today so i decided to have some fun and play with some figures.
now be easy on me, im still a rookie customizer, this is my first time popping heads and doing a full paint job. up until this time the only thing ive been doing is making base or super saiyan versions of characters by coloring their hair.
so i decided to read bran's guide to customizing and finally took my first steps of the "official" customizing. (lol which is still really just head swaps and repaints, custom is a custom)
For the turles: i thought about using my jakks raditz vs to the irwin one, but ive decided to use the irwin instead because 1. its cheaper, 2. trying to be different from everyone, 3. jakks raditz is too tall for turles. hes far from perfect though, scouter is wrong colored, he didnt really have arm and leg straps, the arm gloves/armor is not really the accurate as in the anime, and he doesnt look evil enough. but hes my favorite, because i got him to wear the scouter (which can be taken out), and he comes with a fruit of tree of might, great articulation, and a decent/good paint job (my best for sure).
Battle damage Goku (base)- just a simple head swap, i still managed to give him great articulation. here he is with super saiyan version and frieza

i needed a cell saga krillin, and i had a spare irwin krillin so i just painted the extra one and added in BK krillin boots.
ultra super saiyan goku is too expensive so i just made one using jakks ssj goku head and super trunks jakks that i got from my garage sale steal. i think it was adam who inspired me to make this.

base sbc goten and gohan GT. i dont like their smiling versions and i had extras from caps so i made them have a meaner looking base rather than the smiling ones. also tried to make their super saiyan version wit yellow hair, they already came in yellow from caps but i tried my best to make them have a better looking yellow hair, not much of an upgrade though

Very nice Ascat94. Turles is definitely the stand out. A great start to customising.

thanks aussie! hes my fav too! i think its not bad for my first custom. will take it one step at a time, once i master breaking the pieces apart and improving the articulation then im hoping to move on to sculpting (hopefully soon!)

Turles is very original. Can't go wrong on those parts. 8/10
Krillin is nice for what he is. Just a bit tall. Not your fault Irwin's head is huge. 5.5/10
USSGoku is a good idea, though I'd paint his neck area. 8/10
GT Goten and Gohan look really cool. Did Goten come with a white shirt. I have a bootleg version with a green one. What did you use to fix their expressions? 9/10s
BD SSGoku is alright. The different skintones on his face and body bother me lol 6/10
Majin Vegeta is pretty cool to be honest. 7.5/10
Young Kami/King Piccolo...classics. 9/10s
And nice black haired SBC Vegeta!

thanks adam, i just had the a couple of their spare super saiyan heads and simply painted them black, nothing fancy. theyre the original sbc versions, the one i bought from caps had a white shirt so i matched the other goten figure i had with the white shirt! yeah krillin is a little to tall.

You will find customising will take up a lot of your time. That's why I stopped doing the WWE ones I was making.
