Here's a shot of the Skylanders Eruptor game figure before and after. The one on the left is the static off-the-shelf figure. On the right one I added articulation to the arms and legs, resculpted the left arm and lower leg sections, then gave him a game accurate paint job. I used Hobby base ball joints to give him motion along with Testors Model Master and Formula P3 paints. He's removable from the base and still works with the game!
well I have played both Skylands games and he is right. The after is like the game while the store bought is not like the game. I wonder if you could make Cynder look like the Spyro Cynder?
I think these are an odd thing for games, as I think most look like cheap crap and can see them in bargain bins in no time at all. But your improved paint job would definitely make them more interesting to collect.
