Fascinating to see it go from a hobby for kids to businesses using the same technology as the official toys. Good to see there are still hobbyist customizers out there. Great video!
7:36 GCC only buys official helmets with no printing, also official helmets are no longer made so GCC will move on to replica only, that's why they're making a new and improved mold.
I made it to the big leagues fr, can’t believe I got a shout out 😱
You tha GOAT
5:12 From a cost standpoint - even though UV printing has a lower barrier of entry, pad is cheaper in the long run and scales easier
They need more visibility, i thought they where illegal until a free months ago
That has been a worry for customizers at times! However as long as they don’t pass it off as an official LEGO product, even though parts of it are official, custom minifigure companies should be in the clear 👍🏻
You still got the arealight helmets? I’m a collector
I do actually! Feel free to DM me on Instagram!
This Is A Great Video But The Only Issue Is That It Really Only Shows The Star Wars Side Of Customs. (Marvel And DC Customs Mainly)
That’s a fair assessment! In your opinion what’s been the best source for Marvel/DC customs?
@@stud_economy I Would Say Firestar Toys, They Have A Great Libary And Fair Pricing, But They UV Print. For Pad Printing I Would Recomend Smaller Sellers. Like Bobs Customs
Bro just got almost all of his b roll from other youtuber lol
MGF Customs is one of the only channels that goes that far back 🤷🏻♂️
