and leave a comment for the algorithm! ( even if you have nothing to say LOL
I already left a comment just now thanking you but man this is such a major help to me because I'm still new to the whole customizing action figures repainting and refurbishing and I'm getting into kit bashing and I don't want to waste or feel like I've lost money by painting my fingers and watching the paint being scratched off and having to go back and repaint it this is such a major major help to me. I promise you man to The godfather of action figure making I promise you when I get started dying my figures hopefully later this week or by next month I am going to be recommending you out the wazoo and I'm going to try to attend as many of your live streams as possible. Your channel is going to be one I'm going to make a point to keep an eye on. I can't do much for a super chat or patreon but brother I'm going to be loyal to you. I cannot stop thanking you because this is going to be a major help. And my mom and I are planning on going into business for modeling and creating things and building what kind of stuff and if I can use a synthetic dial and some other stuff and if we'd be working with some plastic things dude I'll be sure to recommend your channel to so many people that I promise you!!
I just got my hands on some synthetic die last night I'm checking it again make sure I got the right time of course I was the only kind I could find but I'm going to give it a try hopefully later on tonight. And I'll be sure to watch this video again
Lol you liked ur own vid haha 😂
acetone will remove any paint apps before using dye
Can I do this with plastic that don't have paint on them?
Just like mama used to make
perfect
Thanks man, was literally 2 seconds from buying the wrong kinda dye. Clutch video 🤙
glad you saw this, I made that mistake you dont want waste your figs and time ! haha good luck
I’m doing this so I can make my goetas hair and pants red it’s gonna look lit
He has dark black skin tone lol
For anyone who’s never done this before it won’t last, the ink eventually bleeds out and turns the figure a blue color, good news is you can paint over it tho but would still have to prep the joints.
Ahh man that's a shame! Was gonna try it 👀
What if you sprayed it with a sealant after it was dyed?
@@VideoPortfolio2010 I don’t see how that would stop the plastic from bleeding but try it and let me know!
I'm so doing this with an extra GI Joe Classified Scarlett. This looks so much easier to do than paint and with no chipping!
I’m looking to do the same with my Scarlett.
I'd like to see how things work out with lighter colors. I'd guess the factory paint would affect the results more. I'd love being able to use this method for nightmare colors like yellow.
It takes 3 baths for yellow and red on Shang chi iron mans to turn black
Synthetic means for synthetic materials/fabrics. This is a nice tip to share with others. Its something I thought I was all original and smooth coming up with for a couple of years but have seen its obviously not the case and people have been doing this for quite a while, I guess it's just something people kind of kept to themselves. I break down the figures as much as possible when doing it to base bucks. I usually give all the pieces a very quick light blasting of dull coat on all the parts before reassembling because it lightly seals everything and acts as sort of a base coat/light primer which makes paint bond better and I like to get rid of plastic shine as early in the process as I can anyway no matter what technique I use. I've also used this stuff for custom mezco figures using kos of superman,Steve rogers,and the blue and yellow dead pool(the other fakes have weird bodies that are way to far from the real thing and less recyclable outfits). That's requires a little more skill with this product so I don't recommend it until someone has gotten the hang of this stuff for the purposes in this video first.
nice!
To take paint off the figures before using a dye bath, use a little acetone and it will wipe pretty much all the paint off prior.
nice! good idea
@@ROCCOTHEGREAT about 20 years of figure customizing in my belt. 😎 Great to use on clear figures to just have the clear plastic look.
Came across this randomly, very inspired, those Rick figures are so cheap here and I love the idea of them as swat figures
thanks for the tutorial, how did the die hold up. does it still look the same today or does the dye fade at all?
Cane across this at random, but nonetheless really useful. I was just about to start a Nightwing, but I was dreading working on the butterfly joints on the mold I was using. This will be super helpful.
Glad I could help!
Anyone know if it’s okay to dye, prime then paint in that order? I was using the damtoys drawman for a few customs and there were a few with darker skin. I don’t wanna paint the joints but I don’t mind them being slightly off color it’s just I’d rather the skin tone not be a crazy difference
I had thought about doing this for the joints so I don't have to sand them. Thanks for confirming it.
Is it the same with wwe figures
oh yea! will work every better with them!
Does the dye leech out? Others had problems. Dyes ruining the paint job.
Remember you can always go darker, but you can't go lighter.
bingo!
I just started following the steps in your video. I haven’t watching on replay lol
I'm going to try to dye a McFarlane animated flash figure black to make a animated Zoom figure.....do the figures get loose after you boil them?
Is it permanent?
Have you had any problems with the dyes leeching out? I watched a video where a guy dyed his figure black and it literally bled out after a few days.
all multiverse figure = cheap crap
My figured turned out dark green
Does it stain your fingers after much manipulation?
Mine didn't stain brey dark. However it was pretty noticeable under my fingernails and crevices on the side of my fingernails. Made them look dirty when they actually weren't. But a quick shower, warm water and soap got rid of that. Beware of staining clothes. Ruined a nice shirt of mine.
wonder if I make a green ranger or other colors how do u make it bright green.i make custom figures and want to try this.
I usually just prime them with rustoleum once or twice.. Still deal with joint issues though with paint chipping. Does this eliminate paint chipping? I'm definitely a little nervous cooking em up
Where did u get the black synthetic, I only see graphite as the darkest color
I got the one in the video at Walmart!
How long do you leave them in the water?
Great idea man !!! but I need some details !!!
.
Approx. how much time we shd keep it with low flame ON coz eventually figures will start to get rubbery if we keep the flame on for longer period....so like 20 mints, 40 mints. ??? just approx number.
.
and do we need curing time of one day as u said or 3-4 hours would do the trick ???
.
also, do you think it will harm or react with plastic in a bad way in the long run, as in bubbling or flaking ???
.
hows the durability ??? any paint chips on joint areas faced as we normally do with spray paints ???
I'm not trying to come on here to snipe all of this guys subscribers but I have a video on my channel where I go a little more in depth with this process
if i do this can i use a pot that i also use to cook. like if i use it will the pot get stained? and will i be able to use it again after using the dye in it?
dont use your food pot for this PLEASE! get a trash pot for dyes
Does anyone know if you can just use a normal plastic bucket or something for this ? and does it have to be heated water? Please let me know guys
Using RIT graphite synthetic. And the color just doesn't stay true. Goes from Blue to purple to Brown. In a relatively short amount of time. I love the initial effect. Was thinking maybe after dying hitting them with a clear coat of spray paint. Put in a way that kind of defeats the purpose
Just found out there are Black and Jet Black(which Somes in a kit) Rit colors. I think graphite dye has a higher chance of making your figures have a dark shimmer copper. And black dye a sort of shimmer dark purple. If the dye doesn't take in the plastic exactly how you want, depending on the plastic and other factors. Which it looks cool if that's what you want. But I was hoping for black black especially on my custom DnD articulated figure project. I'll retry with ajet black rit dye kit
tried this and got some cool results. alot of parts didnt dye at all which was odd, i cant figure out why, its very specific parts of eahc figure.
used the same rick flag figure and got completely different results than this
i like to put what im painting in hot water for some seconds, just enough to make them warm. Then i do the wash.
nice
Out of curiosity, what happens exactly if you don’t use the synthetic dye? Do they warp, gunk up the joints, melt away the plastic etc?
definitely gonna try make a silver surfer with this
Damn I had no idea you could DYE a figure
This will be so helpful especially since most of my characters attires are black
Can this method be used to dye lighter skinned action figures to have darker skin?
Bout to try this with some ninjas. Hope it works out fine on our electric stove. Any tips?
I'm looking to dye and paint my frog man, but I'm not sure how it will take paint since is mostly made of softer plastic
I have never seen this done before. Thank you for the tutorial.
I would like to see if it works with other colors.
it does! and good luck
Hey, alpha proto, I'm just clearing something up for you, it does not work as well with other colors, if you have an all white figure it will work OK but not perfectly, the darker the figure and the lighter the color you want to dye it, the less it'll work, I have a tutorial on my channel too where I explain more of the pros and cons, and there is no need to dye your casts Rocco the great if you just cast them in black haha
@@bane426 I was thinking for a LONG time about making Thundercats from WWE figures, I am sure orange would work ok, but what about blue or green?
@@bane426 Thank you. I will make sure to check out your channel.
Using this to make a custom shadow
About how long does it take to dye? Hours? Days? Gotta think about my gas bill too lol
You ever figure this out? I've been scrolling through the comments for like 5 min and not one person even mentions how long to let it sit in the pot 🤦🏾♂️
Great tutorial. I'm curious, does the blackness fade? Thanks in adventure 😊
Not that I know of! the dye might leak for some time after though !
OoooooooomFg dude! THANK YOU so very much for posting this DOPE video & very personal to me as'well, as I LOVE doing custom work on my 3'75"s G.I.JOE & STARWARS Vintage & Modern's. I have done some REALLY AWESOME work & stuff I too have posted on MY Bookface page LOVE for ALL 3'75"s & other group's etc. However with my failing :( physical health, & hand's shake! :( UGHHH. I have had to have my wife Help me with painting! While I'm still?! Able to sculpt, fix, restore etc. Yet THIS VIDEO I was MENT to see, learn & hope for the BEST!! CHEER'S again very much. Lol my wife TOMORROW is going out to get a black, red, Dark green, blue! 👏👏👏👏👏👏 You did a great job yourself too ....
AGH, I can't believe I bought the wrong kind of Rit Dye before I saw this video!! -_-
Can you help my please? I have an idea 💡You know marvel legends figures right? There are most of them with suit on. My plan is to make a figure with an white shirt. But do you think a white marker can cover the black hands suit? So that it's look all white? I want a figure without jacket but only shirt. I don't know if you underhand my idea 🤔
I am making a custom spider-man 2099 using your tips!
I have a project in mind that requires me to make a brightly coloured figure solid black
I have a question is there a way to mask of a part of the figure while you dye the rest?
Does the dye fade or does it only fade if you don't put the figure in the dye long enough
Hell yeah man! I put up a video using the brown to dye hands for hot toys for dark skinned figures.
Nice, gonna turn my zombie hunter spidey into symbiote spidey
Great video! Looks like a lot less labor doing it this way. If I dye a figure with apoxie sculpt on it do you know if that will dye too or will it get ruined?
Would this work on a Mafex figure?
So after you dy it is ready to paint
Can I do this with a amazing Yamaguchi?
If I stick something partially into the dye, will I get a clean line or will it be fuzzy?
Thank you for sharing this with us!!! I’m definitely gonna use this!
Hope you like it!
Yo Rocco love the videos man.
thank YOU buddy
Whats the music your using in the background
I wish I'd of found this video before I spray painted my broken vintage Royal Guards black.
damn!
Can you dye in grey colour too?
HI I HAVE QUESTION CAN I USE THE SAME POT MORE THEN ONCE ?
Oh my God bro you have helped me out more than you realize. I've been want to do some very special custom figures like take the NECA 200 3 Battlestar Godzilla and turn it into a dark evil Godzilla. I was taking a route of spray painting my figures and I thought about doing that but I was still worried about some paint chipping because there are some joints that are very tight and there are some parts that are just grinding against each other. But this is the solution to Future problems. I tried repainting a NECA Predator figure some time ago but whenever I moved the joints around the paint kept scrapping off. Thank you brother you are in my heart now. I'm going to try to go to Walmart this Thursday even though there's a hurricane coming and see if I can pick up some synthetic Dy. If I can get it and do it brother I'm giving you a shout out and definitely recommend people to check out this video and your channel. like I said I subscribed to you a while ago but I've never been on check out your channel and now I can't tell you how happy I am that I'm subscribed to you!!! Thank you so much this is really going to be a major help for so many many future projects I have plans and save me a lot on some paint.
This works with minis as well this is going to speed up army painting
100%%%%
Reee
PERFECT!
You should disassemble the figures first
"I see crappy action figures, I want to dye them black." 🎵🎶
Do I just do the directions from the box?
Can u use masking tape or some type of tape for the areas you don’t want to be black?
Can u prime a figure and then use color dyes
Could i preserve skin colors on figures while dying them by covering the parts i dont want dyed in masking tape?
I'm pretty sure liquid would eventually get under or absorb through the tape
I enjoyed the video and gave it a try. I found that after the ink dries it leaves a hue similar to pen ink or marker ink. Black Pen ink or marker has a purple hue. Black paint does not.
Until I can figure out how to avoid this I’ll use both the dye and paint methods. The dye for the joints so they won’t chip and then paint the rest. I did two figures this way and I’m satisfied.
Did you use primer after the dye? Or just paint right over it?
@@handheldhavoc6635 i used rattle can paint made for plastic and then two different non yellowing clear coats. One gloss and then finished with a matte. It worked for what I was trying to achieve.
I was adding a different color forearm to a black upper arm. So naturally I painted the forearm black.
As for dye leaking after painting over it. I noticed on one figures hand some leakage. On the others none. This could have been due to poor paint coverage. Not sure.
I’m still trying to figure out a good method.
@@josebatista3529 So if I attempt this should I get a spray on Primer?
@@handheldhavoc6635 primer is primer. I’m not an expert but I do know primer is used for paint to be able to adhere better. The type of rattle can paint I used didn’t need a coat of primer.
Personally, I would use primer next time to ensure better adhesion. Not that I’ve seen rubbing. But to make absolutely sure I’ve tried the best methods to avoid paint rub.
To answer your question, if you can achieve a brushless appearance with a brush on primer then go for it. I don’t think I can so that’s why I use both rattle can paint (applying in thin coats) and/or an airbrush depending on what I’m painting. More detail work I use an airbrush for coating. Something like the arms I’ll use a rattle can or brush with diluted paint.
I would also let the paint cure fully before attaching limbs. Don’t rush it.
@@josebatista3529 Alright, thanks for the tips!
So after dyeing my figures I should be able to paint them a different color? Or that's a different process?
you can do anything!
@@ROCCOTHEGREAT Thanks
Just tried this with my Citizen V Marvel Legend figure, to make a Vigilante Daredevil. Had it on the lowest heat, full bottle of dye and the same amount of water. Started to fume after like 5-10 minutes so turned it off and let the figure sit in it.
Would recommend wearing plastic gloves if you do this and want to take the figure out to bend the limbs every so often, as my finger tips are now slightly dyed.
Citizen V figure still sitting in the dye, after having turned the flame off.
Where do you buy this paint at
Did you save the dye mixture? Or did you toss it after you were done. I saved mine in a jar. To use a second time and get my money's worth.
0:36 what are those figs called
thank you sir greatness 👑
Is there a way to remove dye that's already in the plastic?
If it doesn't come off with acetone or nail polish remover, its probably molded in the plastic. Not much you can do. Dyeing is probably the easiest way.
Rocco dropping another gem!
thank you!
Hasbro is actually using the Doctor strange for their Red Ninja figure coming out soon!!🧨
really???
Used Abaddon black if you want pure black oh wait this is not a Warhammer 40k painting tutorial
hahah
Did this years ago with gi joes and learned that don't boil part by accident also alley vipers look better in black.
Sorry I guess I’m missing what you said...Don’t boil only a specific part by accident?
5:20 would nail polish remover work better?
it can!
Can you paint on top of the dye??
I just want to make sure cause I don’t want to ruin a fig lol 😆
deff!
Don't lie to your subscribers if you don't know the truth, dude, because he will in fact ruin his figures, you need to get rid of the excess dye from the figure, or else it'll bleed through the paint you put on, there's lots of other tutorials on UA-cam that go over dying figs too, just watch them and pick up the different pointers everyone has out there, I try to go over alot of stuff in my own tutorial on my channel too
Wash them in cold salt water after you let the dye set to remove excess dye 👍
What would happen if you used non synthetic dye? How does it ruin it?
I dont know why but it doesn't work! I tried the real dye first and it melted my toys lol synthetic dye is for plastic. but I dont know why either work.
Very cool
How did this hold up?
Do I need a pot
Is this permanent
Also worth noting that black is really a deep dark blue.
Is that star lord?
This is great thanks man. I made all the mistakes you spoke of my last time. After that I decided dye won’t work. Thank you for the tutorial.
Thank for this video! Good stuff!
Can you paint acrylic over this dyed figure?
yea deff
