BotCon 2009 Customizing Class Figure Images!

First Gen · 06-02-2009, 12:48 PM

Wow, that is an amazing job. The paint is so clean and straight. Never knew the customizing figures came disassembled like that.

Man it would be super sweet if Hasbro released kits llike this at a lower price. I know I'd buy a ton of them. Not of that figure because I think it's horrendous but of other figures that fit the Classics style.

Thanks for the pics by the way, it's interesting to see some WIP shots of the class

dang that toy looks so nice I'd be tempted just to put it together and keep it all white (unless putting on paint apps is retard proof)

I brought a little "kit" with me since this was my first year in the class, and i didn't use it at all excpet the "nippers" that help remove the parts from the tree. otherwise, they had everything you might need their, incuding an x-acto blade. the paint they use was acrylic, can't remember what brand. i'll check tonight if i remember. i still have the custom booklet shawn made up that has a bunch of tips and tools. Really cool class. I'd do it again if i could. it was more intense than i thought it would be. We started at 9am and it goes till 5. i could easily see people working that long. no offical break for lunch, so i'd bring some snacks. i tried to power through it, and it's a good thing i finished up around 3 beacsue i was getting a little woozy. Should of brought some coffee and something to snack on.

haha nice. yeah it was a little long at least you didnt have some annoying guy who cant even pop a ball joint into a socket (not joking here) constantly complaining that he cant "get it" and no one is helping him.

I finished at 2ish. I took my time with shaving and cleaning the sprue flash.

I was pretty much detail painting from 9 to about 1. Good times. Solscud, where you in the wednesday class?

Randy!

Yeah I was In The Wednesday class. The guy who kept complaining was non-stop about everythin under the sun. I wanted to scream "I don't frigin care!! STFU stoopid noob!!!" haha but that would be mean. I mean even the girls in the class were getting along fine. But his guy was just hopeless.

Megamus and I were the first to finish assembly and painting.

mmmm, alcohol based.
