Hey guys! Feel free to suggest what ARC trooper I should customize.
A Arc Trooper Alpha 17 with the special helmet eye piece would be awesome, I don’t think Hasbro will ever do this one
The lambent seeker ark trooper from battlefront 2 I think would be a good challenge with the neon outlines
@@marcosdoesthings8487 actually this would be amazing to see how you do the helmet design
Yes, an accurate Captain Fordo. 🤩
Commander Colt please
I’ve pretty much given up on Walmart, etc exclusives. Literally impossible to get , unless you go to eBay and pay extra. In California, LA , most Walmarts already have a committed scalper . I just collect GIjoe Classified, Fordo was my fav ARC trooper too 🤷♀️ not really into piecemeal collecting
Dude I hear you. I thought this figure will never come to Hong Kong m. Went on to Amazon and someone is selling for 54 bucks!
I think this is on amazon for 35 bucks now
I can see Hasbro Reusing that helmet for a phase 1 rex
Makes sense, especially with the removable helmet. It’ll be really nice!
Perhaps I can repaint the helmet for Rex, great idea!
I have some Ali Express phase one and two Clones and Stormtroopers. Great figs.
I heated up the knees on the Clones and prised off the knee pads.
Cut off the pegs.
Glued the pegs back into the holes they left.
Slid the pads back on and now they're able to be positioned where I want.
Great vid man.
Thanks, this helped me out. I didn't realize the chest armour was glued on and wasn't sure what would happen if i cut it off.
It's so weird to see this figure have a flesh colored head underneath the helmet when other clones with the helmets glued on have fully white heads. Makes me wonder if hasbro planned on giving him a special head sculpt like with the original TVC Fordo but got denied by Disney which I believe is why this was named arc trooper rather than Fordo
I totally enjoyed every minute of this video, it really helps out. I've been thinking about taking my "Fordo" apart and/or customizing him, but wasn't sure. Idk if I'm gonna go through with it, but now I have a way better understanding of the mechanics of this figure. Great video. 👍
Hey Mitch glad this helps. I am making a video for all the clone bodies and hope that can be helpful to others as well.
@@ka-bashedfigures834 Is the process the same on a stormtrooper figure because of the new joints and what not
Thanks so much! I have quite a few black series figures with he heads glued that I want to customize Including Fordo, and a couple of Holiday troopers! Now i know i can take them apart safely without damaging them and get them painted up and sealed to be awesome figures!
Nice, cool video man. Great reference for budding customisers. It’s Amazing how mashed the helmet was when you separated it from the head and yet it still popped out and reshaped fine. 😎👍
Yeah I remember the first time I ever did this I was worried. On the bootleg sometimes there will be a fold mark after it settles. I think for Hasbro official release it is ok.
@@ka-bashedfigures834 I bet! First time seeing that initial result must be a real moment of tight sphincter and fear!! Haha good to know it’s not a world ending move! 🤣🤣
he needs more likes and subscribes! he destroyed a figure just for us
Haha thank you Rona! Actually I’ll be making a custom out of it so it’s well worth it for myself 😀
Awesome video! I love stuff like this! I used to take a lot of my figures apart as a kid to see what made them "tick." I don't do it very much these days due to how much more expensive things are.
Either you were very unlucky or I was very lucky since I was able to remove the ammo pack from the chest without breaking it. I'm so sorry man!
Thanks for sharing your experience! Yeah it is actually really cool to take it apart and begin to realize some of the decisions that went into making this figure, especially because it is a clone and needs to be designed for its ability to mix and swap parts. This time I didn’t realize how many parts are actually reused despite it looking so different.
@@ka-bashedfigures834 It really makes me want 3-4 of these guys to do customs... but I was BARELY able to get my order in for the one I have and the scalpers are having a field day here in the US. Such a shame. :(
@@supergeno128ds sorry to hear about the scalpers- they are the bane of collectors!
No no no. A perfectly out together figure destroyed. Sacrilege. 😧😨😱
Oh I’ll put him back for sure- as a custom figure.
Thank you SO much for the vid. Really helped me a lot. I was strugling getting the waist off and couldn't make it happen. Then I saw your vid and realized it won't come off. Thank you so much mate.
This figure is really cool and fun to customize, I’m looking to change the Kama to a fabric one for Echo and a few other black series
Thx for this dude I used a hair dryer instead of water but it worked the same I did this to echo so I can tighten his joints thank u tho
Oh MYY GOd!! Can you rename the Channel 'Clone Surgeon' ^^ Even though I'm never gonna try this, I learned a great deal from the video. The Jacuzzi, and the Hot Dip.... reminds me of trying to remold a new gum shield for contact sports. I have a suggestion, can you create a new Clone Figure that has not been seen yet, like for example a Medic Clone? "Medic!!!!!!!!!"
Yeah first time I spar my boxing coach had to help me dunk it in hot coffee to soften the mouth piece. Then my ex-father in law who’s a dentist helped me make a custom one which works a lot better!
12:06 I thought the ARC troopers hand was giving you the middle finger for pulling him apart there.
Dude your the man thank you for doing this I need to get to getting mine done. I hear ya man I want all my helmet figs to be able to take their helmets off. Just adds so much to the figure.
This is an awesome concept for videos, you should take apart other figures as well.
I’m glad you like this! am actually making a video that covers all the clone bodies.
Can You do a video with the new 3.75 inch figure. I have a Mandalorian whos knee is messed up and im scared to break it. Its from the haslab razor crest
A 41st arc trooper would be fire or lambent arc trooper and if you could a tutorial would be amazing 🔥🔥🔥
Good suggestion! I’ll try my best to document the process.
Thanks a lot for this vid! My figure had a foot that stuck out and it was an easy fix with boiling water!
Thanks for this video I have only been trying customs for a while and ruined 2 figs up to now by just pulling the arms off, never realised the fixed socket bits.
I feel your pain. I broke a couple in the past. One is at the hip because the black undergarment piece was molded in hard plastic, to just ended up snapping the ball joint at the crotch (ok that sounded bad 😂). I also broke the neck pin on the 2020 mold, and on Bly I didn’t wait for the head to heat up enough and broke the neck at the base.
Can you pop a Darth Maul in half?
Awesome Review Man. Very helpful
Thank you! 🙏🙏🙏
You should make a colt
Nice thank you
I'm kind of presuming no since you didn't end up taking it apart, but is there any way to get the torso separated from the hips?
This video was a great help, Thanks!
Any chance you'll do more like this?
Nice this is really good and I say you should make a green arc trooper since they already made a blue red abd yellow all we need is green
can u custom A jedi with these stormetrooper parts. jedi armor
Is the process the same on a stormtrooper figure because of the new joints and what not
Have you taken apart an elite squad trooper, they have the new arms but the old legs and I need a set of Arms for a galactic marine, since it's the new arms and appears to be the new torso aswell I'm assuming the arms are removable just like the 2.0 mold but if you've had any experience with it I'd love to know thabks
I see sometimes you mention knockoffs. I know of the knocks 3.75 on aliexpress but I’ve never seen knockoff 6”. They exist? Love the channel can’t wait to get into making my own soon
Hey there. Watched your video. Do you think it's easy to take the white breastplate off? I'm planing on using the Clone Trooper parts on other characters.
Any advice to remove the legs that have the hard insert plastic. Notice on the archive 501st trooper it's extremely hard to remove the legs even in hot water.
Hey Fwoosh channel has a great tutorial just on this issue. Search “Star Wars Black Series Jet Trooper Leg Swap Custom Tutorial...” Hope this helps!
@@ka-bashedfigures834 thanks man, I checked it out. I'm actually trying to learn how to remove the thighs. Unfortunately the thigh sockets are that hard plastic, and will break if removed.
Can you make more videos of Stormtroopers opposed to Clone Troopers? Thanks!
Is it possible to remove the helmet without putting it in boiling water. I wanna buy a phase ii arc trooper helmet and customize so I can swap em back and forth
Dont know if you found answer elsewhere but some people also use heatguns and even hairdryers
@@notobi-wan8344 thank you I had already found my answer and it was your method but I appreciate someone responding :)
16:45 Why don't Hasbro just paimt these beautiful headsculpts and make the helmets removable?
I've never even scene a clone trooper black series figure with this head sculpt and I know it looks like Wolfes but it's not.
Hasbro is extremely dumb. I'm done buying these figures from such a stupid company.
Yes after seeing how they paint the vintage collection arc trooper heads, I wish they do the same for the 6” figures. They work in mysterious ways for sure!
Could be a rights issue or something
