Been customizing the wrong scale!

Post by hotrodrock » Thu Mar 31, 2011 7:16 pm

Been wasting my time on 1/18 soldiers instead of babes. Looks like around 1/12 scale. I need to reconsider my customizing after looking at the prices on these.

If you're an excellent customizer you can make good money in whatever scale you're working in. An extremely limited edition figure by the well known 1:6 customizer Rainman that recently sold on eBay is a good example:

I can see where custom heads like the Van Cleef could bring big bucks. But the Storm babe looks to be something not quite as hard to do. Theres a pretty good market for the custom painted McFarlane sports figures also.
