I made the most advanced custom minifigure I could ever think of, using almost all the techniques for how to customize a minifigure. Consider this video your guide to how to make custom LEGO minifigures.
I go over how to paint minifigures, how to find the best pieces for customs, and even how to use the new LEGO Minifigure Factory, all for building my very own sigfig.

You see, Ryan, I've always wanted to make my own custom LEGO minifigs, but I never knew what options were available. I even made my own yellow Daredevil with pieces that I have collected.

@spacetimecontinuum6546 Год назад

What pieces did you use for that daredevil? Just out of interest.

@austinclark964 Год назад

@@spacetimecontinuum6546 I used the torso piece of the Netflix Daredevil that my uncle gave me from MegaCon a few years ago, and I used two golden arms from Aquaman and replaced the tan-colored hands with Iron Man's red hands, and as for the legs, I used an atlantean legs that came with the Justice League set, and finally for the head, I used the head of the Reverse Flash. It may not look exactly like Daredevil's yellow sit, but I can only use my imagination.

When I visited the LEGO offline store, I saw them using a printer to print various different minifigures. It was only later that I learned that it was a UV printer. Would you like me to look into it

@KingBanditt Год назад

This was great! Personally I favor purist customs but you inspired me to make a custom torso! I’ve made it and it looks great!

Nice choice! The head was also used for Leonard in the Big Bang Theory set but it’s still not very well known (or used)

@theblondepadfoot Год назад

Hi Ryan, You didn’t need to remove the left legs printing! All you needed to do was find another light greyish-blue/sand blue left leg, then you would just have to swap it out! Also, it’s not very usual for it to crack, but you just need to be careful.

@RyanSevelVlogs Год назад

Very true! I guess I wanted to show off how to remove extra print if you needed to. But yeah, replacement parts are always an option!

@jarlfenrir Год назад

@@RyanSevelVlogs In my opinion you should have used a simple eraser - more effort but way safer for lego bricks.

@Jdslimedburn 11 месяцев назад

Very interesting,I might keep this in mind when making my own sigfig of myself like you did. Though I have a feeling you could do this with minidolls as well, though the process of cusomizing them probably will be slightly different because the minidoll figure is designed way differently than a minifigure's

@seankart4459 Год назад

I tend to like to stick with purist minifigure parts so I use yellow skin tones for most of my custome minifigures since they have the most variety of faces but I do like to use flesh tones sometimes aswell as I like to have my city be diverse in figures with a variety of different skin tones and the way I see it is that bright Lego yellow is just another skin tone in the Lego world

You could also try using water decals. They're a bit trickier for sure and require a high quality printer, but it's an option for more complicated designs.

If you want to stay in the realm of official LEGO, then yes, I'd say paint on the wounds. If you don't mind dipping into off-brand parts, there are a few "damaged" prints you could choose from.
