4:18 "So instead moved on to the most important asset-" That was perfectly done. Thank you for adding his cake and making this beautiful figure of him. Absolutely gorgeous. Much love💕
Pro tip: use different grit sand paper to get a smooth finish and save all that putty work, start by low to high grit, I usually start with 220 and finish with 400 to 600. This helps with smoothing out that surface.
no way! Leona! I love your work! thank you so much for the tip! ive always been a little confused when it came to sandpaper grits so this really helped!
I am STILL thinking about this figure after seeing it on Instagram. Your hands are seriously so amazing??? It baffles me how much care and attention went into making a custom figure that ACTUALLY SLAYS. I thought art was tedious enough and now I've been introduced to the patience and repetition of figure sculpting. As another person who has a deep personal connection to this show and its characters, bless this video so much. I'm so glad you get to have something you're proud of just for you to keep! AND YOU MADE IT!! There are so many things I could say but basically: this is such a cool project. All the gratz for finishing it. Thank you for sharing with us!!
oh my gosh thank you so much for the kind words, I was smiling so much just reading your comment! it amazes me how one show can resonate with the lives of so many people but Im not shocked at all that mob psycho is a special anime for almost everyone who watched it. Despite all the memes around Reigen, He's actually a character I really love and Im glad I was able to do him some justice in this figure! :D
I stumbled upon this video on accident, but as someone who reads Detective Conan, I immediately recognized this figure of Amuro and laughed my ass off when you pointed out that his ass is too flat. I agree completely. This guy... doesn't have an ass... Though, a lot of people argue that he does. Like. Where? 😭 This custom figure was really cool, though! Reigen deserved a good figure and I love how you utilized this Amuro figure's pose with the jacket! (This character has 3 different names/alias, but "Amuro" is the one I'm used to calling him, lol.)
I absolutely agree on the homemade merch part!! I have tried to make some figures on my own and they came out absolutely terrifying but I just love them so much because the process of making them was so fun!! :)) I even liked them better being terrifying, it gave them character lmao
Figure companies should take notes from you cause your Reigen figure looks super cool! Also you're pretty brave sculpting him at the desk near your figure & rement collection ~ made me a little nervous
This is the best figure repaint I’ve ever seen omg, I discovered your channel from your figure collection video and absolutely love your whole vibe, and I’m soooo jealous of your figure collection 😖 thanks for the wonderful content
This is great, but I recommend using watered down Milliput to coverup any imperfections. Because it later slightly reactivates with water, if you use a wet fine sandpaper, it leaves a very smooth surface. It takes like 4 hours to cure though, and actually sculpting with Milliput is sort of a headache, so only use it to coverup rough sanded parts. Also, using sculptor's vaseline rather than water is a good idea when using two-part putty, as it stays way longer on the surface, just remember to clean up later when finished using soap.
I have used milliput before for a Frodo doll custom and i had a way to much trouble working with it, I can see why it would be better for filling in cracks because i did not like sculpting with it
DUUUUDE THIS IS AMAZING! I didn't even know about the official Reigen figurines but yours looks sooo much better imo! I've always wanted to try sculpting and making figures, so this is really inspiring to me!
This was a well made video, you have a real eye for design. I think a dremel tool might help you a lot bc watching you sculpt with an xacto was crazzzzy
i really love the way you articulate yourself!! in my personal experience being neurodivergent, i find it hard to articulate myself and say what i need to say concisely, but i feel as though you express your ideas very efficiently :) beautiful work and a beautiful video
I was told this recently by my painting teacher, but she said that with acrylics you should just use paint thinner because water breaks down the paint and overtime the paint gets destroyed. I don't know since i usually paint on a canvas with really saturated brushes so i can't tell you that for sure, but it's been enough of a problem for previous students that she had to tell us
I saw that! I heard its like this for paint on canvas, i don't know how that would work here but I might invest in some paint thinner than for future projects haha
happy to see more people doing custom stuff! I made a custom fig last year and it was SO HARD to find references for how to do stuff, i was on the garage kit reddit forums trying to learn everything i could to apply to what i was doing lol. But its so much fun to do!!
I totally agree with you, there are no good official Reigen figures! Yours looks amazing, this makes me feel like I could do it even though I've never sculpted anything in my life before lol plus the pose of the figure you were working with was perfect for him
Really well done, I've been realizing more and more as I watch channels based around creating things with Polymer Clay, that the more talented the artist, the smaller their channel. It seems like all of the huge channels that make things like this just churn out 1 video a day of them making a quick and heartless 5 minute quick sculpt of Pokemon, Amoonguh, as well as whatever is popular at that current moment.. I found this out while watching youtube with my young daughter. When it comes to huge channels, the mid quality sculpters who bank on popular profitable characters made out of clay as fast as possible to make as many vids as possible reign supreme. When you have far more talent and creativity because you put your heart into making things you actually love, yet for this your channel is criminally underrated. Keep up sculpting, keep pushing yourself, I see you making some really incredible things in the future.
Agree on the official Reigen figures as being stiff... and plain! I wish they could have added background elements on the stand itself like what Taito did to the 2021 Birthday Miku Happy Cat version or the Rem Idol version with all the balloons around her :(
i watched this video when it first aired and it gave me confidence to customize an old figure of mine in a way that makes me much happier about it now than it ever did, just wanted to say thank u for sharing your tips and knowledge
this is the first video from you I've ever seen and WOW your dedication and talent are inspiring! I have two parting messages for today. 1. so glad you gave him that extra cake he really needed it. and the Dimple addition is cute as hell wtf ;; 2. of course you're a Jet Set Radio fan (affectionate)
omg the littlebigplanet music ToT you are literally my new favorite channel!! Its nice to see the process you had making a custom figure, I've always wanted to try
The homemade look of your figure is super charming! The paint job is so clean ✨✨✨ I’m glad to see you’re now making UA-cam videos as I’ve always been a fan of your tik toks !
You did a great job. I like that you showed all your mistakes and your process of doing the whole thing. I’ve been learning to customize Gundam kits and airbrush and I mess up constantly and it gets disheartening. It’s cool to see that everything can still come out great 😌
yes! most of my projects run into problems but a lot of times things can be fixed! it really helps to take a couple days off of a project if you are struggling and come back to it!
Silly Putty works well to mask areas for painting, it is stretchy and snappy You can make super thin lines with it. It is silicone and polyurethane safe. I use it for fill when making molds.
I LOVE THE RESULT!!! Looks so cool, way better than the good smile version. I think the good smile version is to simple, does not pass the “Reigen Arataka vibes” at least for me I like how you make it way more extravagant, for real! Looks so good, and I love it so much
Mob psycho video with little big planet music in it... no way.. That aside, really cool video! I really admire people who can sculpt and it's super cool to see your process like this :) awesome work! ^-^
i just wanna say that your editing is AMAZINGGGG-i love ur aesthetic and how your videos flow and idk how to explain it but i love ur vids!!! keep up the great work!
looks so good, i didn't expect the end result to be this great 😁 i wish i could buy your prints, but i'm from europe (same with the Solani merch), i can imagine the shipping being crazy anyway, love your art!!
Recently sculpted an entire figure from scratch and uh yeah base coated in black for some reason. That's gonna be fun to redo. That aside, nice custom and all the channel assets are looking nice, you'll have a good format going on here.
thank you for doing my man justice, I totally agree they should've made his official figure more interesting makes me inspired to want to try this
Oh my gosh thank you so much! and You definitely should! customizing figures is so fun!!
y'all gonna make me have another hyperfixation 😭

"So instead moved on to the most important asset-"
That was perfectly done. Thank you for adding his cake and making this beautiful figure of him. Absolutely gorgeous. Much love💕
“sometimes just trying your best at something is what makes it worth it” just about made me cry, that’s so mob psycho core. amazing work!!

@@tamakid9400 I'm glad it did! 😁
you made him so beautifully. i wish your version was an official figure😩

Homemade merch is so fun, i love when they are slightly terrifying too haha
Figure companies should take notes from you cause your Reigen figure looks super cool! Also you're pretty brave sculpting him at the desk near your figure & rement collection ~ made me a little nervous
omg no I was so scared! I only sculpted a little there for the video then moved to the floor because i get too scared
reigen is so cheeked up omgg
10:58 omg I WAS WAITING FOR A REFERENCE LMAO XD
glad y'all didn't miss the tournament haha
my toxic trait is thinking that i can pull this off on my first try LMFAO it looks so good !!!
Finally, the figure he and we deserve

I’m definitely trying this!!

The cheap temu figures are the best to practice customization on. would love to see a vid where you fix / improve a cheapy figure from those sites. :D
Omg he came out so good!!! Could you do more figure process video or tutorials? You don't have to but I rlly love all of your figures 💗
Thank you so much! and yes! i want to do a video on a figure making video that i make from scratch as well as some garage kits!
Why is this better then the ones you showed us, he looks so much cooler I never knew you did stuff like this. 😭
HE IS SO BEAUTIFUL... YOU SLAYED HIM
the fact that you added cake
the way the face isnt a decal??? insane
i havent seen your art stuff before but consider me a new fan !!
16:25 LMFAOO GAWD DAMN
DUUUUDE THIS IS AMAZING! I didn't even know about the official Reigen figurines but yours looks sooo much better imo! I've always wanted to try sculpting and making figures, so this is really inspiring to me!
This was a well made video, you have a real eye for design. I think a dremel tool might help you a lot bc watching you sculpt with an xacto was crazzzzy
Thank you! and yeah I definitely need to invest in one haha
i really love the way you articulate yourself!! in my personal experience being neurodivergent, i find it hard to articulate myself and say what i need to say concisely, but i feel as though you express your ideas very efficiently :) beautiful work and a beautiful video
This looks AMAZING and I love how you gave Reigen your own twist!!
I was told this recently by my painting teacher, but she said that with acrylics you should just use paint thinner because water breaks down the paint and overtime the paint gets destroyed. I don't know since i usually paint on a canvas with really saturated brushes so i can't tell you that for sure, but it's been enough of a problem for previous students that she had to tell us

THIS IS SO SO AWESOME! ID TOTALLY BUY THIS IF THIS WAS A REAL FIGURE :) great job 💗💗💗
4:18
MY JAW DROPPED AND I SCREAMED "ARE YOU SERIOUS" THATS TOO GOOD HAHA
happy to see more people doing custom stuff! I made a custom fig last year and it was SO HARD to find references for how to do stuff, i was on the garage kit reddit forums trying to learn everything i could to apply to what i was doing lol. But its so much fun to do!!
The colors just look so much lighter and cleaner to me.
I totally agree with you, there are no good official Reigen figures! Yours looks amazing, this makes me feel like I could do it even though I've never sculpted anything in my life before lol plus the pose of the figure you were working with was perfect for him

Amazing job on the sculping, you’re a real gem for this!!!
I cried like 3 tiles watching this. He is so beautiful 😭

Agree on the official Reigen figures as being stiff... and plain! I wish they could have added background elements on the stand itself like what Taito did to the 2021 Birthday Miku Happy Cat version or the Rem Idol version with all the balloons around her :(
urgh I love reigen in this pose, def better than the official stuff...AND THE CAKE YES ITS SO NECCESARY WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN THE SAME WITHOUT IT 100/10

this is the first video from you I've ever seen and WOW your dedication and talent are inspiring! I have two parting messages for today.
1. so glad you gave him that extra cake he really needed it. and the Dimple addition is cute as hell wtf ;;
2. of course you're a Jet Set Radio fan (affectionate)
This is brilliant, suits him PERFECTLY

Finally, a figure of a character I can relate to!
Looks amazing 🤩
You are an extremely talented artist, amazing work…
cant believe u caked him up
He turned out so good! I admire your skills so much, I've only barely just touched up some figures of mine. Thank you for mentioning your materials :D
The homemade look of your figure is super charming! The paint job is so clean ✨✨✨ I’m glad to see you’re now making UA-cam videos as I’ve always been a fan of your tik toks !
the lbp music during the ad almost made me cry it's so pretty and I miss that game
SHE ADDED THE CAKE
How did you manage to make a better statue then these company’s 😭😭 insane!!! I’m so jealous
This was so good that I genuinely thought that I could buy this from an official company
Omgg wthh!! This looks so amazing!!! ❤❤🎉 i could never with the figure and yours look so much offical then the og.
ITS LOOK SO REAL N OFFICIAL omg
HIS CAAAAKE
AH I love this and I would love to see more of ur videos, UR Voice IS SO CALMING ❤️❤️👍🏻👍🏻
This one sticks out more than the original Reigen figures, looks incredible!! Makes me want to buy it or make one.
Wow I just happened to look down and see you had 20k subscribers. You’re heavily underrated! I was over here thinking like 3.8M
your work was AWESOME!!!
Now I’m inspired to start sculpting/customizing figures. I enjoyed watching the video. A nice start for a new year😊
I showed my friend one of your videos, and she said she loved your hair. Stay slaying queen!!!!
You did a great job. I like that you showed all your mistakes and your process of doing the whole thing. I’ve been learning to customize Gundam kits and airbrush and I mess up constantly and it gets disheartening. It’s cool to see that everything can still come out great 😌
yes! most of my projects run into problems but a lot of times things can be fixed! it really helps to take a couple days off of a project if you are struggling and come back to it!
Silly Putty works well to mask areas for painting, it is stretchy and snappy You can make super thin lines with it. It is silicone and polyurethane safe. I use it for fill when making molds.
When small scale painting I whittle a toothpick into a syringe size point. It's cheap but works decently enough.
ugh, the cake. God bless
HE LOOKS AMAZING 😭 i’m so glad you’ve started a youtube channel i feel like ur content is exactly what’s been missing on here keep it up!!
Great channel. I can tell you have a passion for the things that interest you. I really like how you did the base (the"homemade" look lol).
Super chill video, finally knocked me out of ma insomnia spree thxxx ❤❤
He's so caked up, Love it.
OMG the Cake?!! Amazing figure thank you for showing your process!!
I LOVE THE RESULT!!! Looks so cool, way better than the good smile version. I think the good smile version is to simple, does not pass the “Reigen Arataka vibes” at least for me
I like how you make it way more extravagant, for real! Looks so good, and I love it so much
Mob psycho video with little big planet music in it... no way..
That aside, really cool video! I really admire people who can sculpt and it's super cool to see your process like this :) awesome work! ^-^
dude i'm literally gonna rewatch all your videos at least 10 times
i am IN LOVE with your figure omg!! this definitely makes me want to practice painting/sculpting :0 so so so so cool!!
God damn he’s so caked upppppppp 😩😫
even added cake, now this is what i call a real reigen figure
Would definitely recommend a priming spray paint and plastic friendly paints so everything sticks and you don't get that sort of hydrophobic reaction
oh I saw this on Twitter, nice to know the process
You really said ✨BBL✨
THIS CRAFTMANSHIP IS SO BEAUTIFUL!!!! Thank you for making a youtube channel :,3
this is literally the reigen figure ever
i love reigen but im so dissapointed you used toru😭😭😭i love how all of your works turn out tho!! imagine being this pretty and talented
nice wholesome diy video idk why it got recommended to me, but im glad it did, great work.
i just wanna say that your editing is AMAZINGGGG-i love ur aesthetic and how your videos flow and idk how to explain it but i love ur vids!!! keep up the great work!
Big rip to amuro tooru but the end result looks amazing
The end result looks promising! Looks so legit and one of a kind!
You could also use windex to thin the acrylic paint!
the figure looks SO AMAZING OMG !!!!!!!!!
You're really activating my 00s nostalgia. Back when dying your hair really meant something! I feel old....
looks so good, i didn't expect the end result to be this great 😁
i wish i could buy your prints, but i'm from europe (same with the Solani merch), i can imagine the shipping being crazy
anyway, love your art!!
i think this is my new favorite channel omg keep uploading videos i love them sm!!
Recently sculpted an entire figure from scratch and uh yeah base coated in black for some reason. That's gonna be fun to redo.
That aside, nice custom and all the channel assets are looking nice, you'll have a good format going on here.
