Custom Gi Joe Figures

Custom G.I. Joe Figure Lady Jaye I wanted to showcase this recent commissioned G.I. Joe Custom Lady Jaye for a very serious action figure collector from youtube (Tim B). You guys should check out his channel because he has one of the most impressive GI Joe figure collections I have ever seen. It's definitely worth your time. Back to Lady Jaye now, for this particular figure the buyer wanted me to incorporate elements from the original 1980s Lady Jaye but also give her a touch of the modern with a more artistic interpretation. This expanded my options for making this custom figure's face, hair and body type. I also tweaked the style of Lady Jay's clothing by adding black knee supports to each leg. Tim wanted her to have long hair instead of the short cropped hair of the traditional 80s Lady Jaye. He also wanted the hat backwards to give a more hip, playful look than her 1980s counterpart.

Action Figure Customizing tips about eBay  Like most toy customizers I tend to buy a lot of action figures, parts and accessories from eBay. You can find really great deals on for customizing figures when you buy custom fodder and figure lots. It's kind of like that old saying: one man's trash is another man's treasure. I don't know how many times I have taken a figure apart and for the recipe I needed and thought to myself what will I do with this fodder (left over pieces and parts). Most of the time I will save them for later use, other times I list my custom fodder on eBay. This is a good way to make extra money from customizing toys.Selling custom fodder on eBay is really a win-win for all parties involved. You get money to reinvest in your customizing business and someone else gets some parts they need to finish their own customizing projects or vice-versa.

Hi guys and gals! It's Jake the artist from   Barbincito Customs . It is past time for an update on my figure art. I'm sure you all understand that life and work will often inhibit hobbies like blogging about custom ideas and projects. No excuses though as I have actually been fortunate enough to continue this wonderful hobby of customizing action figures for Marvel Universe, G.I. Joe, and Star Wars to name a few. I'm so happy to have a creative outlet like this that not only allows me to have a sense of fulfillment but to make so many others happy along the way. I'm thankful for all of my customers who have made this possible for me.  Many people know me from the custom figs that I sell on eBay and some also know my work from Instagram where i keep a relatively updated portfolio of my figure artwork. Recently I have branched out into another venue for marketing custom GI Joes and Custom Marvel action figures on etsy. I'm really excited about introducing a new prod...

I will post individual pictures of these custom figures later on. In the photo we have Spiderman's girlfriend, the lovely Mary Jane Watson. In the center of the picture is "Sam", a  new character from my joe-verse. Sam is Gung-Ho's niece.It's kind of difficult to tell from the picture but Sam has a long blonde ponytail in the back. The next custom female on the far right is a female version of The Punisher. I just listed these and a few more on eBay, so be sure to check them out b/c there are many more pictures of them that you can see instantly in the listings.
