The best GI Joe Figure of 2023 - A Customizing Tutorial for Beginners: Python Patrol Officer Custom
16I recently saw the kitbash that Gun Bunny Customs did with the Target-exclusive Python Patrol Cobra Officer #97 from the GI Joe Classified line. It inspired me to do something similar and I realized it's a great opportunity to do a lesson on customizing action figures for people that have never done a custom before. With a few steps, anyone can make a really cool Stealth Viper figure (at least that's what I'm calling him).
In this video, I'll cover step-by-step:
-Boiling and Popping
-Dyeing plastic
-Simple paint applications
As well as the tools you'll need and a few bonus tips along the way.
This is intended for beginners who are interested in getting into the work of action figure customization. I may do more tutorial lessons in the future if people are interested.
Hat tip to Gun Bunny Customs for giving me the idea from his kitbash. Original video here: https://youtu.be/ockajur3BUI?si=7QkEBZA3usc10Qy0
