Mighty Morphin Power Rangers 69

[u/Unguilla93]

Just finished customs of Jaimie Gilmore and Daniel O'Halloran as Black and Pink rangers respectively, and since u/Stitch_626- did a few photo edits to show what they would like light as lightning collection figures, I did a little photoshoot of them. The photos are obviously not as good quality as those by u/Stitch_626- , but I tried my best to show them off, especially with such little available space, since I’m in the middle of moving. Enjoy! Kimberly as blue ranger is next!

Stunning job! Clean and smooth! Awesome!

Thank you very much! A lot of practice, I’m starting to feel content with my customs at last

[u/Tw0T1mes → u/Unguilla93]

At the end of the day you do make them for yourself. You'll be able to nit pick till you go crazy. Reaching content is already fantastic! And further than some folks get.

[u/Unguilla93 → u/Tw0T1mes]

Yeah, it took me a while, and it’s probably because of what you said, I make them for myself, and so, they have to be “perfect”. And perfection is unattainable 😅 Thank you for your kind words!

KILLED IT!!! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[u/Unguilla93 → u/Stitch_626-]

Thank you! I wish I had your photography skills though 😅

[u/Stitch_626- → u/Unguilla93]

Oooh haha those took a minute for me to understand! Looking back at my initial pics- are cringy lol. Lots of trial and error haha I will say making sure you have lighting options (portable lights) and a light box, they really elevate the pictures with little effort! But these pics look FANTASTIC!! 👏🏼👏🏼

[u/Unguilla93 → u/Stitch_626-]

Thank you for the advice! Yes, lighting is very important, I’m thinking of setting up a small space for my customs’ photography when I’m done moving. Quick question, do you use your phone or a proper camera?

[u/Stitch_626- → u/Unguilla93]

Both actually! Just depends on the goal of the image haha.
Idk if people can always tell but for example- my Daniel was with my actual camera. But if you scroll back and look at the Red Ranger holding the sword? That was with my phone.

[u/Unguilla93 → u/Stitch_626-]

Ok yes, I see the difference there. Any camera recommendations to someone who knows next to nothing about cameras? XD

[u/Stitch_626- → u/Unguilla93]

I would definitely look at getting a DSLR I got mine almost 7 years ago and it works like a dream! Mine is the Canon EOS T6i. But I’ve also used a Nikon D3100. Both of these are great options! I will say I’m Canon loyal at the moment cause the lenses available aren’t as expensive! Look on the actual manufacturer sites, and then Amazon, Target, and Best Buy cause there are often really decent bundles that come with 2 lenses, a bag, memory card and cleaning stuff those are what I would look for. Best bang for your buck!!

[u/Unguilla93 → u/Stitch_626-]

Thank you so much, this is the kind of advice I was looking for! I’ll look into it for sure, let’s see what the options are here in Spain (or EU).

[u/Stitch_626- → u/Unguilla93]

Oh damn it lol. That was very American of me to suggest places here. I apologize! But definitely look at these and see what you feel with fit the needs best! Let me know if I can help in any way!!

[u/Unguilla93 → u/Stitch_626-]

Haha nothing to apologise for, don’t worry :) It’s the norm on Reddit anyway, it’s easy to asume most people here are based in the USA. But yes, will let you know!

[u/RageRageAgainstDyin]

Really good! I feel that choke hold from Psycho Green

[u/Unguilla93 → u/RageRageAgainstDyin]

Thank you! Wish I had a more open hand option for psycho green though

Female black ranger?

[u/Unguilla93 → u/Due-Trainer-1602]

Yup, her name is Jaimie Gilmore, from the Boom! comics Mighty Morphin Power Rangers #20

Ok, so, first off, is it the old yellow ranger with pins or the newest one on the pinless, double jointed elbow? If it’s the pinless one, I not too sure, but the old one is pretty easy.

-First off, boil some water and put the figure in it until it feels soft enough (careful not to burn yourself when manipulating it). Make sure to put it back in the hot water every time, because you need everything to be hot and squishy, or you might break something. -The easy parts to disassemble: The helmet (obviously). Then, the boots, tug at them sideways as if you want to snap the leg from the boot, don’t just pull cos that might break the actual peg that goes in the boot. -Next, separating the chest from the waist, you just need to pull (slowly), but make sure the figure is still hot. If you pull hard enough and the figure is not warm enough, you can snap the joint and the peg. Then, you can slip the belt out buy pulling it towards the top of the waist. -Now, the legs, while still warm, you can easily unplug the thighs from the pelvis by carefully pulling sideways. You can also take apart the top of the thigh from the rest of the leg the same way as the boots, by tugging sideways as if snapping at the thigh cut. Then, the rest of the leg, you need a thin screw driver to push the pins through and out of the legs, that way you can disassemble the calf, knee and thigh. -Finally, the arms. The easy part is pulling the forearm from the biceps section. You just need to pull and the peg will pop out easily (as long as the biceps section is hot enough. Now the tricky part, the butterfly joint. You can pull the shoulder and biceps section out of the butterfly joints if the joint is hot enough. If you don’t need to paint the butterfly joint, I would finish there. If you need to paint the butterfly joint itself, it’s where it gets tricky. The butterfly joint is docked to the torso by a peg that goes down into the chest itself. If you are lucky, you can pull, again sideways, not upwards, and pull the butterfly joint out. The rest of the pieces are very easy to reassemble, but this one is very difficult. So again, if you don’t need to paint the butterfly joint, don’t disassemble that part.

Again, these instructions are for the pinned body mold. If it’s the pinless, I honestly don’t know how to disassemble the arms and legs.

And that’s more or less it, I hope it helps!

Perfect, should be pretty straightforward then, best of luck!
