  • Making a custom toy may be easier than you think. I wanted to share my top 5 tips for making a custom toy. I started with a Bugs Bunny and a Star Wars Han Solo action figure and made a really fun toy mashup.
    I hope you enjoy this toy customization video!
    Thanks for visiting DR Toys, and as always...

    Also, love when you make a custom while still including articulation. You could even make the base with a peg like a store action figure

      Thanks. I did actually peg this one just to make sure he didn't fall over. 😀

    This mash-up works so well it's scary! I can relate the the giddiness and laughing by yourself too 😂

      Yes! That one was great!
      I feel the same, as soon as I saw his head in this body I knew it had to be made! 😂
      Keep up the great work!

    This one feels so much more organic than Martin. Something spot on to what WB and Lucasfilm would design for a crossover. Now the real question is, "Who shot first, Fudd, or Buggs?"

    If you use super glue gel you can make a custom joint for the head basically take a little bit of super glue gel a little at a time let it Harden add a little more into it's the right size let it Harden again and pop the head on it and it's a perfect head joint without having to use magnets

    Hey Dave! I've never done a custom action figure in my life but this video inspired me to make that Bugs Solo! I managed to pick up both figures off ebay for cheap. They're on their way! The best part is that the Han comes with the Chewbacca figure from the same line! Gonna see if I can sculpt a Gossamer head on him and repaint the body red! I was thinking I need those sneaker feet so I may see if I can find a cheap Marvin the Martian to get those oversized sneaker feet for Gossamer Chewie! And I just saw that another subscriber suggested that same thing to you! If/when I do it, is there a place I can send you pics? I'd love to hear what you think. Thanks for inspiring me to do something creative and fun totally outside my comfort zone! You're awesome and I love the channel !
