How to Hydro Dip an Action Figure! 

I really like this video; you've inspired me to do toy photography: I'm 12 and I do mine in my back yard- isn't as great as yours though but I love doing it and especially watching these( epic ) videos!

Outstanding job i need to try this

You are the best

That 18” Gipsy in the background is sick! awesome vid

He looks dope AF! Like a special Kashyyyk trooper.

You inspired me to start toy photography :]

Thanks for your awesome videos! I can’t tell you how much it helps during this strange and challenging time we’re all in. Keep ‘em coming!

Thanks for the vids man love learning new things about this amazing past time.

Captain Hyde looks amazing !

Great stuff. I had seen videos on dipping guitars years ago. Never thought about doing this with my figures. Cheers!!

I did this and it turned out amazing your my favorite RU-vidr.

just subscribed! awesome channel!! congrats for the amazing work and thanks for sharing!

It's a good idea, once you dip something IN, to wipe away any paint left on the surface with wadded up paper towel or newspaper, then pul the item OUT.

Great job mate!!! Looks dope!

Great job Jared!!

Amazing! It really is A simple technique to build with a fantastic result, the color of the figure is great my friend! 😃😃👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

This is sweet man! I gotta try this dude!

I’ll definitely try this

Wooaww thanks too much it seems more easy than painting with acrylic model paint...

This is very cool and inspiring

I absolutely love the videos

This is awesome

Hi Jared from Canada Eh!! I wanted to say how much of a fan I am of your work. I'm 46 and a lifelong genre fan, star was highest among my fandoms. I've started working on what will either be a Star Wars Fan Film or what I'm calling a Fan PhotoComic. I'm not a film student, just a dude who wants to tell an Epic Looking Star Wars Scale story in the universe, and I'll be using every trick in the book I can think of to make it Look like a big budget feature. Your work helped guide me in the direction I wanna go. I'll be spending the next 2 years in Preproduction because so far..its just me. I'm gonna need actors (friends) I've an editor tentatively, their costumes and armors...and 12 inch, 6 inch and 3.75 inch star wars figures to help fill out the Forced Perspective illusions to populate the backgrounds with for wide and long shots. I'll be making drive by scenery for speeder bikes out recycled boxes and dollar store led string lights (check out Wylocks Armory or Black Magic Crafts for DIY miniature crafting). How far I get with it will depend on how much help I can get from whoever wants to take part. Less help then probably photo comic, more help and fan film. Well specific a series of short episodes not unlike the trooper fan film I.M.P.S. the Relentless. I have various scales of production in my head for this from having All the possible help needed to pull it off to again very little. But among those ideas is a Silly one, bit one I wanted to test the waters with here. I was thinking about inviting some of my favorite RU-vidrs to participate in some fashion or another. Could be for technical reasons behind the camera for making it, to being in armor playing a character or just background with only their voices and a few lines to give them away. So I'd like to ask you here now...if this gets traction and starts to move, would you be interested in participating in my project?

Please do more of these.

This is bad ass!!! Home made camo trooper!!

damn, thats actually dope as hell.

That turned out awesome! How are the joints working afterwards? Cause I've had some figure joints lock up after paint.

Awesome brother. Wooohhh 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩📸📸📸📸📸📸📸

from sneakers to figures next month well be hydro dipping our cats

Great vid

Awesome final product. The paint don't affect the joins of the figure? I see you can move the elbow but i ask anyways 😁😁😁

Hey Jared love the video bro , keep up the great job but I wanted to say watching your videos an since I’m a big Starwars fans you got me wanting to get into toy photography and what’s the best camera 📷 but I saw you have a new one that’s yellow? Any way thanks again for love an passion bro .

Bro you should do more of these custom videos

Very cool 😁✌️

Nice . Greetings From Spain .

U are awesome man

Nice what would go good with a red trooper trying to hydro dip.

Wow- now I just need a bucket, paint, and a plain white stormtrooper......I don’t have that kind of money

this is cool

I think you need to do a imperial stormtrooper battlel toy photography and the hydro figure will be in the lead

A stormtrooper with Yautja blood 🤣

Please Do More Hydro Diping Please

The 3 f’s. a fone, a figure, and a fart

You’ve inspired me to I just started doing it yesterday in my house with no fire works

I wanna try this with like a gold spray and some other colour. But I need more troopers so I feel like this isn’t the wisest right now. Yours looks great though.

It looks like a camouflage Stormtrooper

Do you have any tips on how to prevent the environment you photograph in (e.g. plants and whatnot) to catch fire? I really want to try some sparklers but I'm just worried something will catch fire. Awesome tutorial btw!

Ordered my SirDork shirt!

Awsome

You need a squadron in this colour scheme?

I Want to Do It

Can you please tell me the name of those figures behind you in the intro they look so awesome

Wow

You should change that picture that you took at the end to your pfp

This is awesome Jared. MrMuppa06
