JValk Posted March 27, 2004 Share Posted March 27, 2004 I've been staring at Devon&Mike's Minmay Guard Chunkey Monkey on my lightstand for a week now in awe. If you haven't made or commissioned a custom toy yet, do it asap. The care put into a unique toy is going to really wow you. I have to say it kicks the missing milia buttocks off every toy i own. It's art-grade, man. I'm in Zero-G Love. Can I say enough? I don't think I can. It looks better than a SoC. Viva La Viverator. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mechamaniac Posted March 27, 2004 Share Posted March 27, 2004 Yeah, take a 125 dollar toy, and spend $500 bucks on it . I love the customs put out here, but wow, the customizing fees are steep. To be expected though, alot of work goes into those things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not saying it's not worth it, because I know, personally, that customizing (anything) takes time to do it right. Also, for one-of-a-kind display pieces, the price is arguably worth it, judging from some of the masterpieces in the customs forum. I'm sure if someone wanted to sell their commissioned custom, they could (at least) get their money back, on ebay. If you've got the money, having a Minmay Guard, CF, Blue Roses, or TV Kakizaki is definitely worth it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
warrhead Posted March 27, 2004 Share Posted March 27, 2004 I'll do it for free, but I only do "battle damaged," and the damage is real, but hey, since I'll be throwing it off of my roof, every custom will be a "one of a kind" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Renato Posted April 1, 2004 Share Posted April 1, 2004 I specialise in custom work on Banprestos and do house calls. I'll even bring my own drill, hammer, chainsaw and shotgun!Graham In all seriousness now, I do admit to actually having used them for target practice. To be fair, it was an experiment. I wanted to see if the spring-loaded gunpod of the 1990 1/55 VF-1S reissue was as powerful as that of the new reissues. Answer: No. Had a lot of fun to get those results, though.
