Dang! The red Shenron looks awesome! It's not every day I see someone buy a $40 to $100 figure to immediately repaint and customize! What are you going to use for his chin whiskers?

I'm simply going to use his normal whiskers but modified to be attached to the underside of the snout / chin.. should look pretty similar to what I've seen on some illustrations. As for the price of the figure, I was lucky to find one pretty cheap so it wasn't as risky as it could have been. I'll have other projects completed soonish to share with you all! |

Hi everyone! I've just finished working on a project that'd been on the backburner for way too long : Buutenks and Buuhan! I also updated my older Buucolo to have a new head and antenna.. I hope you like them, I've been dreaming to have those boys in my collection for so long! Which probably means Tamashii is going to announce them any day now!   |

Those look really great! Good to see you still putting out good work! Thank you very much! It's been a long time indeed, but I've finally found some more time to work on some customs I had been delaying far too long.. In fact, I'm about to start working on one of my largest DBZ customs yet, but before I attempt that, I decided to tackle a relatively simple one : Caulifla. She's joined her sister in the Tournament of Power display on my DBS shelf.  My apologies about the poor flash lighting.   I hope you like her! |

Aaaand my big damn project is finished, one of my largest customs so far : Big Gete Star Cooler Core! Pheeew this one was tedious, with all the wiring going all over the place.. he's actually not 100% finished as I still need to wire up the fists, and add some bendable cabling to the back of his body, but I wasn't sure he'd fit into the display with all that attached so I decided to take some pictures before I figure out if and how it should be done.. I now have all the forms of Cooler, that's something I wanted for a loooong time so I'm happy it's done at last. I hope you'll like him too!  Also a close-up..  And since I had to move a lot of stuff around in my DBZ Movies Display to accomodate for current and future arrivals, I decided to take a picture of that too and share it with you.  As always, thank you to this great community for the kind words and support customizers receive, it's what drives me to keep trying new challenges and to improve, your comments are always valued and appreciated! |

Whoa! Caulifla and Cooler's giant form! You're really filling in the areas the other lines have left open for years! Heck, there's still not a Cooler Core figure by any manufacturer that I know of, not even a gashapon.
If Bandai doesn't hurry up, I'm going to make my own Universe 6 female characters too. I'm getting tired of waiting for my favorite Dokkan Battle characters to be made in 5 inch scale!

I'm getting tired of waiting for my favorite Dokkan Battle characters to be made in 5 inch scale! Thanks a lot! I'm happy my collection is filling up but at the same time the choices of what to do next are getting smaller and smaller, so I'm not sure what to tackle next actually.. Probably Dore to finish the Armored Squadron, but after that I have no idea.. could go with the Spice Boys maybe, or Grampa Gohan. I'd really love to tackle Garlic Jr in his giant form, or Hirudegarn or Dr. Wheelo's robotic body, but those will take time for me to be able to craft them, they have very unique designs and will require a lot of work and preparation. As for the Saiyans from Universe 6, like you I was tired of waiting for more after Dragon Star's BAF Kale. Still, I have a feeling Tamashii will probably make a Kefla at some point because they tend to go for the "main" forms of the characters and Kefla got the most screen time in the Tournament of Power.. she could pair well with a non-exclusive "Omen Goku" release, since Jiren is paired up with Ultra Instinct Goku. And who are your favorite Dokkan Battle characters? |

Do you play the game? My absolute favorite is AGL Broly from the 2018 movie. He hits hard, looks great, and is really versatile. Then I really love LR Kale & Caulifla... PHY SS2 Kefla... PHY SS Kefla... and pretty much all of the SSR cards of Caulfla and Kale. All of them are very good for long battles.

No, I haven't picked it up, though I like to read the thread sometimes because it sounds fun. But since I'm looking for ideas for customs, I figured I'd ask in case you liked someone I haven't made or don't own yet. |

 My best advice would be: don't play it! I spend quite a bit of money playing it and it eats up time I normally would have used to customize! It used to be extremely strategic, because the events were incredibly hard. Now it's balanced better, so team building doesn't matter as much as just having as many overpowered cards as possible. It's still fun for me, but that addiction is real, and it eats up lots and lots of time every day. |

That Cooler Core was made from a Limit Breakers Golden Frieza, I presume?
Very cool!

Hi again everyone! Someone suggested I could work on Garlic Jr.'s Spice Boys since I was beginning to run out of ideas for DBZ customs.. so I did!  It was a fun project, and it adds some flashy colors to the display so I like him. Some of his buddies will be more challenging due to their body shape, especially Salt and Mustard, but I think I'll get there eventually, it will be a while though but I'll make sure to share progress with you. I hope you'll like him! |
