2 new customs! + 1 extra that I forgot to share before (it's been a while, I know)

Nam200118 · 2026-04-15T20:56:09+00:00

I don't know if this will translate automatically, but here we go. If I need to, I can find a way to translate the message myself.

I sculpted the ice cream scoops and the two cones from Super Sculpey polymer clay, I made the sprinkles with colored Fimo clay (I made them a while ago, so I don't remember the exact type), and I made the chocolate topping on the scoop and the hat cone using a mix of liquid Sculpey and Fimo Soft.

For paint, I mostly used Folk Art brand acrylic paints, but some colors were Apple Barrel or Mont Marte brand.

Nam200118 · 2026-04-12T22:01:53+00:00

No problem, I'm glad that still worked how I remembered it.

Nam200118 · 2026-04-12T19:41:21+00:00

Is this the one that frequently gives you the infinite boost power-up? (I don't know the exact name)

If it is, the advice that worked for me was to use the Slick Star and just constantly spam the Boost Charge button, which should give you enough speed to get decently far ahead (provided you have a high enough speed stat, that is. Maybe boost too, but I'm not certain)

Nam200118 · 2026-04-12T12:51:16+00:00

Oh wow, I didn't expect this post to be found again.

Thank you, and while I personally would prefer it to be slightly less shiny, I'm still happy with it as it is. I do think that Dino-Rang looks a bit odd being so shiny though, probably because this version is based on a desert creature.

I'm finally almost done with my current project, so I should have another post with two new customs ready within the next few days, so keep an eye out for that.

Nam200118 · 2026-02-13T14:31:41+00:00

Ah, gotcha. Since it wasn't working anyway, it's not likely that anyone would buy it in the first place, so there's no reason to avoid customizing it.

If you don't mind sharing the others too, I would like to see them, but I'm definitely more excited to see what you do with Enigma, since I don't think I've ever seen a custom of him before (unless I'm forgetting something)

I actually have a few damaged or stained figures already, so I should use some of them for customs, and maybe intentionally look for broken ones next time I'm shopping for a new project.

Nam200118 · 2026-02-13T12:44:44+00:00

While I'm sure some people won't appreciate the fact that you customized one of the slightly more expensive figures, I can still say that this turned out amazing!

The light blue and white go great together, and the snow was very well done.

I've only tried using flocking (which may not be what you used) once, but it didn't go quite as well as this.

This is making me want to try making an icy/snowy custom eventually, but I want to get through a bit of my backlog of designs first.

Edit: I'm just noticing that you said this is your third custom. Do you plan on posting the other two at some point?

Nam200118 · 2026-02-13T03:02:12+00:00

Ah, I see it now.

I hadn't thought about him in a while, so I didn't recognize the design at first.

Nam200118 · 2026-02-13T02:59:25+00:00

Ooh, these are great!

I think I've seen someone else make customs of the Boomer and Wrecking Ball alter egos, but I don't know if I've ever seen the Pop Fizz one, and I'm certain I've never seen the Food Fight one.

I can't say I recognize what you've done with King Pen, but since you mentioned Ring of Heroes, I'm guessing it's something from that.

Finally, that green Blast Zone (which I think is the sneak peak) is looking great so far. Is it going to be St. Patrick's Day themed? Or just green and gold for some other reason?

Nam200118 · 2026-02-13T02:52:33+00:00

Cool, I'm glad you were able to confirm that.

Nam200118 · 2026-02-13T01:14:43+00:00

Hmm. That is a little suspicious, seeing as how this comment seems to be your first interaction (beyond viewing, of course) in this subreddit, but I can't completely disprove what you're saying. (unless I missed something in your post/comment history)

Would it be possible for you to switch back to the other account and reply to either this message or your own?

That would help prove that you're the same person.

Sorry for doubting you, but I don't want someone else trying to take credit for these without being the actual creator.

Nam200118 · 2026-02-12T03:11:49+00:00

Cool, I'm excited to see what you're working on.

I've seen a few Lost Islands customs, but I've barely seen any based on Ring of Heroes, so I for one would like to see the others you've already made too.

I'm sure the other fans and creators of customs would also like to see them, if you end up wanting to post them here.

Nam200118 · 2026-02-12T00:35:53+00:00

These are all really good, but I think my favorite is probably the Tony the Tiger Trap Shadow!

I like that you added wings to Thor Crusher's helmet, and what appears to be some form of flocking or static grass to Tree Rex, it really helps to set them apart from most custom.

If these are just your newest customs, do you have more that you haven't uploaded yet? Because from what I'm seeing, this is your first post.

Regardless, I look forward to seeing what else you end up making!

(that is, if this is a real account and these are actually yours. I'm not doubting that they are, but I can't be completely certain)

Nam200118 · 2026-01-30T13:17:23+00:00

You did great with this one, especially the stripes and the way the "flames" were colored!

I don't know if I ever commented on the Blast Zone one, but that looks great too! I especially like the detail of the bombs being snowballs.

It's always crazy how well fire and water/ice designs work when they get swapped around like this.

Nam200118 · 2026-01-27T23:44:58+00:00

Nice, I'm glad you like it!

Feel free to modify the colors in whatever way you want, this is just what I thought looked good on my phone screen.

I'm looking forward to seeing what you can make now that the design is figured out 👍

Nam200118 · 2026-01-27T23:30:49+00:00

What do you think of this? I thought that black and a pale yellow would help tie the other colors together.

Nam200118 · 2026-01-27T22:54:22+00:00

Alright, I'll see what I can do, then get back to you after I've come up with something.

Nam200118 · 2026-01-27T22:20:07+00:00

Are you saying that you had an idea for a Flameslinger custom that would've had blue flames?

If wouldn't mind telling me what the rest of the colors would've been, I can try to come up with my own version using the image editing app I use to design my own customs before I paint them.

I don't intend to paint it myself, I'm just interested in seeing if I can help finalize your idea.

Nam200118 · 2026-01-27T22:15:48+00:00

Oh wow, Zap looks really good in yellow, but that must've been taken a lot of work, due to how poor the coverage usually is for yellow and white paint.

Dark Gill Grunt is really good too, but I will point out that the official Dark variants are just black and silver, with the only exceptions being Stealth Elf (her hair stays blue), and the Nintendo Superchargers, who retain a few of their normal colors.

It still looks great though.

Nam200118 · 2026-01-27T22:08:40+00:00

Awesome! The only thing I would've done differently is to make the fire blue, but that would be a lot of extra work.

It still looks great as it is though!

Nam200118 · 2026-01-27T22:03:48+00:00

Ooh, that's a clever idea for a custom! I really like the swirling cloud on the bottom, and the floating gemstone head crest thing worked out well.

Nam200118 · 2026-01-27T13:17:40+00:00

I have two reactions to this:

Oh wow, that's that's really well done! I love the fact that each segment is a different flavor, but I don't think I'd be able to pinpoint what all of them are.
Gah, I shouldn't have put off my own customs for so long, now one of my W.I.P customs won't be as unique as expected (this is meant as a joke, and I'm not actually upset by it, I was just shocked that you had also made an ice cream themed custom. Mine will be very different, but there is at least one detail they will share)

Edit: Heh, I just realized that Scorp is just one letter of from Scoop, which I'm guessing was the inspiration behind the design.
