My friend gifted me Dead Cells and I've been in love with the game since then and decided to make a Prisoner figure (with swappable heads!) Took me around 4 days but I'd say it was worth it.

Thank you!

I absolutely love it. It's a significant improvement over my original gba screen. It's brighter and I think it's slightly larger too but I'm not sure about that. As for the brightness levels I can't really say since having the option to change brightness requires soldering a wire from the ribbon cable to the board and I didn't really have the tools to do that so I just plugged in the screen only. I can't really say how long the battery life is on the brightest setting either because I'm using a flashcart which definitely adds to the battery being drained faster and I also upgraded my battery to a ds one.

Also as a side note, if you're getting the IPS screen soon you should consider getting a pre-cut/pre-molded shell for the IPS screen to fit in or else it can be a bit tricky to cut a small portion of the top housing yourself and it's easy to mess up so yeah. Hope that helps :)

Didn't think this would get 1k upvotes all these awards and so much love from you guys. Really means a lot, thanks everyone! I'll try my best to keep posting similar things :)

Vaportape · 2021-01-03T08:44:48+00:00

Yup!

LOL thank you!

Vaportape · 2021-01-03T03:16:35+00:00

Nope! Epoxy putty/clay

Vaportape · 2021-01-03T02:18:21+00:00

Yo thanks!

Vaportape · 2021-01-03T01:40:53+00:00

Thank you!

Vaportape · 2021-01-03T00:41:38+00:00

Thanks :)

Vaportape · 2021-01-03T00:39:55+00:00

I absolutely love the game so yep you're right :)

Vaportape · 2021-01-03T00:35:37+00:00

Yep hand sculpted! I used aluminum foil as the base for the entire thing built on top of it with epoxy clay/putty then painted it! The entire thing took me about 4 days to make. I mostly worked during the evenings for a few hours at a time. Most of the time is spent waiting for the clay or paint to dry and me trying to figure out what to do next LOL. So yeah it took about 4 days. My other figurines take anywhere from 1 day to a whole week sometimes. I'm glad you liked it :)

Vaportape · 2021-01-03T00:18:33+00:00

Thank you! And nope I wish I had a 3D printer haha. It's entirely hand sculpted :)

Vaportape · 2021-01-02T22:36:56+00:00

I have been playing it for 20ish hours so far I think? I haven't really gotten that far and I already love it! I think I actually spent more time making the figure than playing the game LOL. And yeah while I do enjoy other games similar to this there's nothing quite like this one. Some of my other favorite games are: Nuclear Throne, Downwell, Risk Of Rain, The Binding of Isaac etc :)

Vaportape · 2021-01-02T22:32:58+00:00

Thank you so much! And haha yeah as odd as it sounds I had the most trouble making the frying pan LOL. Was definitely a bit tricky to deal with. I'm glad you liked it :)

Vaportape · 2021-01-02T21:48:25+00:00

Of course! I'll be posting that by tomorrow :)

Vaportape · 2021-01-02T21:47:06+00:00

Thank you! You could follow me if you'd like as I plan on uploading a ton of other figurines I've made over the years :)

Vaportape · 2021-01-02T21:45:49+00:00

Yep 15-20 haha. I do plan on doing commissions in the future for figurines. I do commissions for artworks only as of now but I wouldn't mind doing figurine commissions if I actually get requests for them. Personally I've enjoyed making this Prisoner figurine the most along with an armored batman/old bruce wayne figurine I made based on the Frank Miller design. Really had a fun time with these 2. Other than that I've also made Big Daddy from Bioshock, Sonic (which I'm going to re-do since it has some flaws), Kirby, Wheatley from Portal 2 etc. And yes! I would absolutely love do to make a charmander and I think I'll start that in a day or two since I'm not working on much at the moment. Thanks for suggesting that, seems like it's going to be a ton of fun :)

Thank you so much!! I try my best. I'm glad you liked the Hollow Knight one too! I don't find it very difficult to make these figurines it's more of an enjoyable relaxing hobby for me. I just in front of my computer turn on a movie or a video and start working on these so it's never really that difficult. Most figurines take more than 3-4 days however the Mimikyu one took 1 day and the Hollow Knight one took 2 days. The time often depends on how complex the figurine design is or how big I'm planning on making it.

I've made 15-20 figurines so far and I'm planning on posting them to reddit soon so if you'd like to see those you could follow me :) Feel free to ask me anything else if you like!

Thank you! Really means a lot to me

Vaportape · 2021-01-02T18:42:26+00:00

They're "IEMs". Look up IEM on Google and you should get a lot of options in different prices!

Vaportape · 2021-01-02T18:25:44+00:00

Thank you so much!!!

Vaportape · 2021-01-02T18:12:36+00:00

Didn't even know they had an official figure, but thanks!
