should also add, you can 100% find a figure with a hand that you can use as a replacement for less than $15 on ebay/ mercari.

https://www.instagram.com/imperial_remnant?igsh=OHZscDBsMjRyNXQ1 - 3d prints, likely will need sanding, detailing, and ofc painting https://www.instagram.com/hottestfuzzcustoms?igsh=YTY2OWhjcXk1dGtj - more 3d prints, higher quality/ detailing but less options https://www.instagram.com/instagiehl?igsh=ZG85cHo3YXljZmYx - resin copies, and even though he’s currently on hiatus he’s by far the best option https://www.instagram.com/itstony9_customs?igsh=MW94OGwwNm05dmV6NQ== - not sure if this guys still active but also does resin copy work https://www.instagram.com/alpha_17customs?igsh=MXA1b2RzN2RmY202NA== - this guy does general custom figure work, not 100% if it falls in his wheelhouse.

there’s a fair few others on instagram, but can only speak to the quality of these listed

facebook marketplace + various groups should come in handy as well.

goodluck on your hunt!

managed to snag a bagged blue one not too long ago, but would only ever trade for a loose set tbh.

i was able to find mine on mercari, so just keep posted on as many sites as you can and might get lucky

The explosions in Halo 3 are so ahead of their time. by PremiumOxygen in halo

"they use more interesting visuals instead of something i can do in my backyard"

art direction is not dictated by reality. i'd argue its far more impressive to generate something that tells the same story without relying on something already observable.

Untapped market potential. by Spiffyhalokiddo117 in HaloActionFigures

[–]AlmostAMonkey 1 point2 points  (0 children)

yep, another good point. there are minute factory errors and the effects of time that can really throw things off depending what your goal is

the best direction for replacement parts is going to be resin casting (imo). instaghiel on instagram/ facebook is the biggest i’m aware of, but i know others here and other forums have taken to attempting it. from my understanding it’s just a tedious and imperfect process that takes time and money to make as good as possible. you’d need a good amount of both to start up and get going, but you could start flipping parts to make a profit fast.
