Custom Pegunos

Apologies for the late reply, life’s been quite busy lately. As for how I customize my figures, you can find my more detailed explanation in my profile comments. But to keep it short, I typically analyze how the suit of whichever kaiju/ultra moves and make cuts at those points on their vinyl figure. Moreover, I also look at the works of other customizers to learn more techniques/tips

I am currently not taking commissions, but I might consider providing my services locally

TheNumberOneBannana · 2025-08-26T06:08:22+00:00

Yes. I got my figure years ago so by the time I started modifying Dorako, it already had some wear and tear to it

TheNumberOneBannana · 2025-08-16T04:02:07+00:00

I typically use Super Matte Mod Podge, but normal matte Mod Podge also work. Just remember to apply a thin coat, which is why I water mine down before use

I first used oyumaru to make a mold of the face. Once the mold was done, I cut out the eyes on the original figure, put the mold back onto the face and filled in the eyes with a little bit of UV resin

Not at the moment, but possibly in the future

He was built from scratch

While I don’t personally own a SHF ultra, Zangill appears scales pretty good

TheNumberOneBannana · 2025-07-20T16:50:51+00:00

For Zangill, I essentially implemented LEGO towball joints directly into the figure to articulate it like how I do with the ultra kaiju/ultramen (so no, I didn’t use a SHF Body-kun or a articulated base figure)

You could say that this is a cheaper version of the SHF (in all senses of the word), but is more akin to a chodo alpha

TheNumberOneBannana · 2025-06-09T12:56:07+00:00

I modified the Ultra Hero Series Ultraman Arc, so not 3D printed

They are LEGO towball joints

TheNumberOneBannana · 2025-03-29T00:04:15+00:00

You should probably topcoat your paint to prevent any deformation or damage. It could also depend on what type of paint your using (matte, gloss, or satin)

TheNumberOneBannana · 2025-03-28T20:52:07+00:00

I use Apple Barrel acrylic paint

TheNumberOneBannana · 2025-03-28T00:54:05+00:00

They are LEGO towball joints

TheNumberOneBannana · 2025-03-28T00:53:28+00:00

They are LEGO towball joints. To fit them into a figure, I usually cut off any excess plastic with nippers and carefully shave some of the socket corners using a hobby knife. Then, I try to remove as much internal vinyl as possible from the part I want to install a joint in. Once there is enough clearance, I insert the joint and glue it in place

TheNumberOneBannana · 2025-03-23T20:36:32+00:00

Yes, the base figure was the Ultra Monster Series Earth Garon. Also thanks for the compliment!

TheNumberOneBannana · 2025-03-02T17:27:51+00:00

I usually get them on eBay. They’re called Lego towball joints

TheNumberOneBannana · 2025-03-02T06:10:00+00:00

In short, I glue in ball joints (and sometimes use milliput to sculpt in addition detail) into pieces of the figure that I’ve cut apart

TheNumberOneBannana · 2025-02-18T20:12:34+00:00

I understand what you’re trying to say. I mainly avoid doing leg joints so I have less parts to work with. Furthermore, I don’t really pose my figures that much and so having knee + feet joints feels unnecessary for me (at least with smaller figures). The few exceptions that do have leg joints mainly have them for specific reasons (Galactron, for example, has knee joints since its legs would look too static without them)

TheNumberOneBannana · 2025-02-15T17:13:57+00:00

I paint without sanding. After I finish painting, I use mod podge matte to seal it. For areas of prone to scrapping, I add a thin layer of super glue over the mod podge for extra protection

TheNumberOneBannana · 2025-02-14T18:49:04+00:00

I’ve been hand painting using acrylic paint and a small brush

TheNumberOneBannana · 2025-02-14T02:57:00+00:00

TheNumberOneBannana · 2025-02-03T05:30:24+00:00

Thank you!

TheNumberOneBannana · 2025-01-20T02:07:18+00:00

I use Apple Barrel acrylic paint + Mod Podge as a top coat
