How to Promote Custom Action Figures For FREE

 So you've learned some action figure customizing skills and now you want to learn how to market your custom figures for free. For anyone who has ever made their own custom action figure, you know very well the meticulous process of creation. Sure making your own G.I. Joe action figure can be an enjoyable experience, it's also a lot of work in reality. By the way it doesn't have to be limited to G.I. Joe only, you can make your own marvel comic characters, D.C., games or movie characters - anything you can imagine really. My point is that you've made something that you're proud of and maybe you want to show it off or market you customizing skills and that's where this post comes in to help you learn how and where to advertise your custom action figures for free. I have three very simple quick and easy ways to do this:
  

 I recommend using Instagram for keeping a portfolio of your customs so that you can track your progress, create a theme in your artwork that is recognizable and get free advertisement and publicity. It's truly amazing how many businesses startup on Instagram daily and it's totally free! I do this with my own custom figure business. You can check out my IG page by simply searching for Barbincito. Another reason to use IG to promote your customizing skills and figure artwork is the link back to your own store that Instagram allows in the profile section below your name. It's a great feature that allows prospective buyers to buy custom figures directly from your stock. This app also features free private messaging which can serve as another method to reach new custom action figure buyers who may want to commission a custom figure or just start a conversation. Word of mouth is paramount to any business. So keep those comments rolling in and be sure to answer anyone who takes the time to notice your custom figure art!

Why do I love Gi Joes so much?

Why do I love Gi Joe? Have you ever had an affinity for something and you didn't realize why? Well that's exactly how I felt about Gi Joe until I sat down to write this post. I know to other people it may seem odd that I'm an adult who plays, collects, and customizes Gi Joe action figures. I haven't been able to fully understand what the big deal is about Gi Joe until now. Like a detective, I've been sitting her trying to remember the first time I saw Gi Joe and how I felt and I'm finding that some of the happiest moments of my childhood have involved Gi Joe. All of my friends had gi joes so my parents bought some for me and my brother so we could all play together. Gi Joe became a staple gift for me and my brother each Christmas and every birthday from our parents. I think they even rewarded good behavior with Gi Joe figures. I was always my little brother's hero whenever he broke a gi joe because I'd fix it for him and sometimes go a step further and m...

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. The auctions will end a week from today- next Sunday.

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.
