The Toy Customizer's Toolbox Thread

[wally2974]

Much appreciated, all the tips and tricks are!!! Just waiting for the figures to arrive from Ebay, and it will begin

[wally2974]

Does the flesh color Mattel uses on most of the figures match? For example, Is Wonder Woman's skin painted the same color a say Rah's Al Ghul's face and hands?

[AcidDragon]

Nope. I find that they usually vary more than slightly.

Let's put it this way....What color/brand of paint did you use to customize your Ra's, Acid? Since I'm going to use Ra's hands for my Bruce Wayne custom, I want the hands, neck and head color to match when I paint them.

Hi guys, I thought I'd start a toolbox thread so we can share what we use for custom figures since I see a lot of people ask, "So what did you use for...".
