I made an account here just so I could share this. I always wanted a proper Super Saiyan Bardock figure, but they haven't exactly made one yet. So I snagged a Banpresto HQDX Bardock, and a Clear-Version SS Goku and made my own. I'm not new to customs, but I do it so very rarely that I'm not 100% confident in my skills. I don't use professional tools, nor do I have a proper workspace. I did this with simple acrylics, a pocket knife and glue, on my computer desk. lol I gave him a gold tail, which I personally saw as an oversight in Episode of Bardock. I also added a custom paint job to his green plating, to make it a bit shinier. I wanted to differentiate this piece from my regular Bardock HQDX figure. I plan to add more to this figure...possibly a nicer base, or maybe even the Tamashii Effect lightning. Not sure how many people have attempted this...it's really quite simple. I don't want to come off like I know what I'm doing when there are so many people on this site who make such nice customs. I just wanted to share my own personal favorite creation that I made.

I mean, it doesn't LOOK like a custom figure, so I would consider it to be a great success all around

First of all a welcome to the forum! Well done! Well once again about HQ DX! I miss somehow this line! Was also my first line that I started collecting figures!

I customized another figure tonight. It was on my to-do list, so I got it out of the way. I combined the Chozoshu, Reurrection F Gohan with the head from the WCF, SS Gohan in his Kai garb. Their heads are pretty much the same size. I thought it would be a good opportunity to make this figure a bit less dorky. It was quick and easy. The WCF head just needs a wider, deeper socket for the neck, and to slice off the Portora earrings. I recommend giving it a try!
