[@metamorphiccustoms]

Thanks Dante!! Appreciate it!

[@luismarin3551]

Love the simplicity👍 You can keep it minimal or go the extra mile in weathering. Great job putting this type of video. Let’s spread the word about this channel.

[@metamorphiccustoms]

Thanks so much, Luis! Really appreciate the feedback as always! 🙂

[@boxed-n1397]

Finally a cure for the sand print base plague. This is the best! Thank you so much for sharing.👏👏👏

[@metamorphiccustoms]

You’re very welcome! And thanks for watching!🙏🏻👍🏻

[@tretre3039]

Thanks, Desy! Another great video to help expand our world building to display those 1/6th figs. I appreciate ya.

[@metamorphiccustoms]

Thanks my friend! Appreciate the watch!

[@chamoo232]

An idea for a future video. Making a slim base. Using the hot toys tops but making a slim base under it. I switched to generic black bases on a few of my figures because I didn't like how high the Hot Toys ones are. Some of my shelves are quite limited in height and I want as much room above the heads as possible.

[@metamorphiccustoms]

That’s a cool idea! Thanks! I’ll add that to the list.

[@808michiganjedi3]

Fantastic tutorial Desi, might have to give this a try!😎🤙🏾🍍🌴

[@metamorphiccustoms]

Thanks Kenneth! Give it a shot. It’ll take about 10 min or so to make a simple replacement base.

[@sixscalemafia]

Awesome video bro. I would totally do stuff like this if I had space for a setup.

[@metamorphiccustoms]

Thanks Dude! Yeah, I like keeping the bases cause of the faux-metallic names plates. Keeps things consistent and with a museum-style look. But feel I need to add some variety if I’m including the bases.

[@500kruz]

Looks so much better! Great job.

[@metamorphiccustoms]

Thanks so much, Marcin!

[@uksith]

[@metamorphiccustoms]

Thanks Moz!!!

[@stevemuzak8526]

I have at least 10 of these Hot Toys bases! I can't stand them anymore. Same crap over and over again. I need to build my own things.

[@metamorphiccustoms]

I think they're OK, but alot of them could either use a bit of work, or be completely replaced. Thanks for watching!

[@FabsFigures]

👏🏼👏🏼💪🏼

[@metamorphiccustoms]

🙏🏻🙏🏻thanks Fabs!

[@FabsFigures]

@@metamorphiccustoms that is sick how you did that!

[@holmesjakekiller]

Or buy another figures base and switch the name plate.

[@metamorphiccustoms]

Yep! That's also a great option. These were very basic, but crafting your own version gives you more options since you're only limited by your imagination. Thanks for watching!
