One or twice a year, while switching parts out to make customs, the byproduct figure catches my eye and gets turned into a custom on its own. What I really like about these customs is how organic they are, and likely never would have been intentionally made.
How often does everyone else have this happen? I assume it's a common enough experience, but I'm curious. |

It happens here and there for me. I use a lot of different parts so for one to come together organically is uncommon.
What’s more common for me is there isn’t a lot of trial and error on some figures. They just come about built , and finalized from start to finish. I still don’t know how that happens. Example: I’m building a Mutt and junkyard last night switching joints legs arms parts got everything prepped and then all the sudden I built an entire Billy Kessler in like 14 minutes . And didn’t even have him up or thought about.

Gotcha. Were any of the Billy parts in play because you were building Mutt?

No they weren?t. I was looking for a certain part and found a Billy head. I painted that then added to the body and had the whole thing ready for gear. I?m unorthodox like that. Some I will completely build then paint Others I will paint then build. Others I will paint here and there part here and there and yea it?s all fucked up haha. How about you?

Yes! I have figures that have been in the WIP stage for almost a decade, but other ones will pop into my head and be done 4 days later!!
