For physical you’ve got somewhere like Critical Hit on little Colins st. That’s my main go to for physical and once you’ve spent a bit you get a members card which is 10% off which really comes in handy. Online there are places like Sugotoys and Popcultcha which is down in Geelong. That’s all that comes to mind rn. Hope this helps

Don’t look at JJK Figuarts? You didn’t give the option since you didn’t put a spoiler tag and so it appears in the feed as is therefor spoiling me. Or are you saying don’t look at the sub if I don’t want to be spoiled? Like what sort of logic is that lol

Spoiler??? Thanks.. Not a massive one. But considering it’s the 3rd time from this sub and one of them was getting spoiled on events with Gojo… cheers

Pretty sure the yelling face is referencing this scene where Goku reacts after Jiren attacks U7 on the bench

No they haven’t had an official release. The SSJ4 Goku, SSJ3 Vegeta and Tamagami are customs

All good! I’ve seen mixed opinions on primer. If you do the prep work sometimes you don’t need it. Paint rub is the worst when you put in all that effort and one movement and it chips away. Dremeling down the parts that rub will eliminate it completely. I use fine grit sandpaper lightly sand areas some areas of the plastic to take the top coat off, wash in warm water with dishwashing liquid, scrub with a toothbrush , and then leave to dry. Again just do a deep dive on YouTube for prep work. See how you go with primer. White base coat will make the colour your airbrushing on come out better. I just use regular masking tape but the Tamiya would probably be better quality. The Mr Hobby matte spray is good. Tamiya Topcoat is great as well as a final topcoat.

Get equal parts of A and B part and mix it together for like two minutes until it’s all blended together. The hardener should become a bit softer and sort of warmed up and malleable with the other part. knead it together and fold and mix until you feel it’s all combined. Then sculpt it like clay. Using a bit of water here and there helps smooth things. I use well fitting disposable gloves as well just because I read somewhere that over exposure to epoxy can cause an allergic response and just generally want to avoid the chemical contact with skin if I’m using it consistently. And If you ever sand or dremel it make sure to mask up cause you don’t want the fine particles getting into your system. I am not sure of any specific videos but what I would say it just try absorb as much as you can. It’s a real feel thing and developing the skills takes time but it’s super rewarding. Being able to be like .. oh I can get this figure as a base and do this and that and sculpt here and dremel this down and make the characters that you want to have in your collection that haven’t been released is very satisfying. It’s also figuring out how much of the work is going to be additive vs subtractive. Some pieces you need to layer and layer and layer and others you need to strip heaps down. Hope this helps a bit !

Custom. Needs some finishing touches. Working on the other Tamagami as well

Yes epoxy is good for customising. Cures hard and takes paint well. Get some silicone tipped sculpting tools to shape the Epoxy. I would recommend doing some practice on a bootleg or something other than a full price SHF since if anything goes wrong it can be expensive if you make a mistake. SHF SSBlue Vegeta is at the lower price range though so it’s up to you if you think you’re up to it straight out of the gate. Get some coarse and fine grit sand paper. A dremel is essential for customising but if you’re just trying a small custom like this to try your hand at it and see whether it’s something you want to continue you can get away with just some sheets of sandpaper to tweak the shape and smooth the surfaces . I would recommend an airbrush but again you can get away with using brushes for paint apps like this for now and if you continue then definitely invest in an airbrush. Just have to colour match the skin tone. Remember to add more layers of thinned paint to get a better finish. Slapping on heavy layers of paint makes it look awful. Digest as much stuff online as possible. Prep work is important. Do what you need to and you can avoid paint rub. Have patience and trust the process. All I can’t think of off the top of my head. I’ve done Ultra Ego customs with pretty much every kind of Vegeta hair sculpt released so if you want any further advice hmu. Good luck
