- Found this cool little Final Faction Dollar Store toy and thought it would be fun to do a quick custom scratch build. I took a hairspray caps a quarter machine container and some Dollar Tree Final Faction droid parts and built a pretty cool scratch build Snow Droid.
I hope you enjoy this custom toy!
Thanks for visiting DR Toys, have a great one!

That's super cool. I thought it would be a nice touch to put those wires on the other leg, too. That way it doesn't look like you're trying to hide wires, but more like they are part of the robot.
Yeah, I totally agree!
I found you very randomly in my recommended and I'm so happy with that. Your droids are amazing, and the way you build really makes me want to look around my house for random bits and pieces to make something new out of instead of throwing them away!
Glad you like them! One of the goals of my channel is to encourage others that they can do this... I don't really know what I'm doing but having a blast doing it! 😂
Thanks for watching!
@@DRToysCreations That's one of the things that makes me want to do it too, I can tell you're having a great time with it! So... Goal achieved, for sure. Keep up the awesome content ❤
For me the best part of the videos is that you are just so excited and enthusiastic at the start of your videos, thanks for sharing the love and fun you get from your craft
Thanks so much!
Love this build. I'm such a huge fan of Toybashing, trash bashing, kitbashing, whatever you wanna call it. That tea light wiring was PERFECT! BTW That's a capacitor on his spine.
Right on! Thanks!
It amazes me how one’s imagination can take simple things around your house and turn it into something really cool! Great job!
Thank you! 😊 Honestly, I was just thinking the same thing... It's so cool to step back and look at something your hands made and thing a few minutes (hours) ago that was just junk lying around.
Wow. The snow stand and how you put the light at the bottom is just extra steps that make this toy build amazing. Another awesome video. Can't wait for more!!!
Thank you . I didn't have the right size drill so I did it with my Dremel, it was a pain in the neck but it worked! 😂
Great work, it seems more a rag tag Army's droid than a regular one, it has an "emergency" feeling, as something build for a disperate situation, where all the firepower is needed 👍
Thanks so much. 🙏
Dude you didn't sound to thrilled with the outcome but the insane amount of work you put into this piece and that wiring which you wound up having to make holes throughout the piece including the base and that ingenious placement of the tea light is seriously impressive. This seemed like an exercise in patience at a ten! I am very impressed.
Thanks. Sometimes at the end of a build I’m critiquing my own work, thinking about all the things I wish I would have done. That’s the fun part about being a maker critique and observe your mistakes and make the next one better.!😃
Using that spiral tubing Wrap around the center Column
Brilliant
Awesome! Thanks for watching!
Think that's my favorite so far
Awesome. Thanks for watching!
That turned out way better than expected at first, my second video of yours watching will continue on more.
Awesome! Thanks.
Never disappointed by a DR Toys video. Love watching your process reveal how your mind works as you go through each part of the creation process!
Glad you enjoyed it!
I love the texture of the snow sand - it just added that much more to the end result. Very cool! 🙌🏻🤗
Yay! Thank you!
Definitely appreciate your opinion and outlook on painting figures from dollartree!!! Keep up the good work!
I appreciate it!
I love these Toy Bash videos, very creative and inspiring. Hope to see more. Thank you for sharing.
More to come!
That light adds so much to the build and the exposed wiring looks Awesome, Great work
Agreed, it's genius.
I'm kinda a coward when it comes to soldering but that looks so effective I've got to try it.
Thanks 👍
You have truly pleased the algorithm. I also got you randomly in my feed and am very happy to have found you.
Running the wires through the leg as druid cabling was truly an excellent notion. Mirroring the wires with dummy's on the other side would have hidden the power leads utterly though. Just a thought for future builds. Keep up the good work!
I have watched several times to get inspiration. While the droid construction seems pretty straight forward, the painting brings it to another level, I wish I had that skill. Awesome work.
Trust me I'm not that great at it, just keep at it you'll get there! 😃👍
Much improved step by step and by far the best build I've seen so far
Thanks!
very impessive, i most recently made a partial space gun from a slurpee cap and plasic parts from my former breathing sleep mask ... very great work doc.
That's awesome.
Thanks!
That was amazing. Really loved it. And great music while you narrated. Wonderful.
Thank you very much!
@@DRToysCreations Having trouble finding this "T" light. Is there another name that would show up in searches?
Try LED Tea Lights. I also put a link in my description on this video. 😃
You did a awesome job on the robot 🤖
Thanks!
That was and is awesome. Nicely done. Cheap ( as in not expensive ) and looks great and fun to do. Great job.
Thank you! Cheers!
What a great looking droid! You do excellent work. Thanks for sharing this.
Thanks for watching!
watched both the camo final faction droid build and this one and I'm totally blown away by the outcome of this one! Awesome Job!!!
Thanks a ton!
@@DRToysCreations yeah I have been buying some of these figures when I hit the dollar store but I've yet to buy any of the accessories. Your channel is inspiring me to do some scratch builds.
@Golden Shaffer Do it! It's so rewarding at the end to see what your hands, brain and a little work can do! : )
@@DRToysCreations will do, not sure how I'd go about putting a Droid in my collection of miniatures but I'm sure I can make it work 😀
@@goldenshaffer9597 Where theres a will theres a way! 😀
Great Looking Build! 👍 These are such Great figures for $1 Great for 28mm Wargame Giant Aliens and the Giant Robot they have and the Weapons and Such Great for Vehicle builds and like you did Robot Biulds :) Keep up the Great work!
Thanks!
Good timing for me having subscribed day or two ago.
I love these. Makes me wish my country had proper "dollar stores" with ultra cheap toys to repurpose this way.
Thanks so much for subscribing! I really appreciate it!
That turned out incredible! I love the tea light!
Thanks so much!
Dude you inspire me to do things with my own pile of stuff laying around
You have no idea how happy that makes me to hear that! Go make something amazing!😃
DM me a pic of what you make!
I've been binging on your robot videos. Very keen to give this a try! Thanks for sharing.
Glad you like them!😃🙏
Great stuff!! I love watching you work and seeing your creative mind come up with these fun combinations!
Thanks so much!
Very unique design! Love it!
Thank you! 😊
Looks really 😎 it belongs on Hoth fighting those punny rebels more of a grey wash add a wrecked snowspeeder beside it
😂too funny!
Looks good to me!
Absolutely incredible man
Thanks!🙏
Came out looking awesome!
Thank you!
Bloody brilliant!!
😀 Thanks!
I've watched a few of your videos now and I'm totally inspired... didn't even know this was a thing :) Its soooooo cool, my mind is racing with ideas... going to start super simple and see where it goes... Thanks...
Awesome! I looooove to hear that! A word of advice, be totally cool with your first few totally stinking... some of my best lessons came out of failures! Keep at it and fail forward!
Thank you for watching!
I love your designs.
Thank you! 😊
This little dude is sick! Nicely done
Awesome! Thanks.
Really big fan of your work and your presentation! It's great to see you branching out into dioramas. I'm excited to see where you go next. :)
Awesome, thank you!
Fantastic! Love it!😍
Thank you! 😊
That's a really excellent result! As a personal thing, because I always have an internal backstory to everything I make to justify the end result, I would have matched the wiring on the right leg, to make it look more functional. That's a great scratch build, though.
Great point! In actuality I should have drilled through the top portion of the leg as well and I could have hid the whole thing. I really don't have a ton of experience with wiring and when I was looking at my footage of it I thought the same thing... it's not quite right. Lesson learned 🙂
Thanks for watching!
CAME OUT REALLY! COOL!!!!! .AWESOME!!!!
Thanks so much!
Super awesome!!!! Thank you!!!
You are so welcome! Thanks for watching!😀
Just might have to give this kind of stuff a try ,looks like fun, looks great to me!!
Thanks! You should totally do it!
Great job❤
Excellent work, love this snow droid!!
Thank you very much!
That is freaking awesome love it.
Thanks so much!!!

Thanks.
So cool! I’m glad you didn’t bust a cap in this video. Because I don’t support violence.
LOL!
another great custom!
Glad you like them!
Amazing work looks awesome! Keep these builds coming!
Thanks! Will do!
Ha ha. I was just watching this video, looked down and realised we’re wearing the same t-shirt!
😂 That's amazing!
Nice one ! Love it !
Thanks ✌️
Best one yet
Thanks! 🙏
Excellent build as usual. Found your channel a week ago and have been watching and enjoying your videos nonstop. Keep up the awesome work.
Awesome, thank you!
Supercool!!! Amazing droid with just a few simple materials!!! Subbed!!

Recently got into dollar store kit bashing and found your channel
Oh man I enjoyed this a lot
Cant wait to watch more
Awesome! Thank you!
GREAT work!
Glad you like it!
Awesome build!

I loved it you’re very creative keep up the beautiful work.
Thank you! 😊
Really cool!

Thanks so much!
Great job dude awesome robot!
Thanks!
I love this video! I'm currently building a soldier robot, so your video is great inspiration!
I love to hear that it helps! Good luck on your build!
Great build!
I'm glad you like it. Thanks.
Love the droid and the eyeglow is nice.
Thanks so much!
so awesome
Thanks.
Super cool
Thanks!
Dope!!! I find your creations highly inspiring, as I work on some of my robot builds.
That is awesome! Glad to know I have inspired you! That's what this is all about, makers helping makers! 😀
Looks really good 👍
Thank you! Cheers!
I know you were going for Star Wars Stormtrooper and it definitely still has that vibe. but to me, it also has this hand-drawn cell-shaded effect like something straight out of Borderlands 3. Love it.😊 it also looks like something I'd pay $20 to $30 dollars for at a hobby shop, If I hadn't watched you build it I'd never have known it was made using recycled bits of plastic caps, and dollar tree toys. xD
Thanks so much. I can totally see the Borderlands vibe.
This was a fun one!
Hey Dave, just subscribed. Binge watching your vids for ideas. Thank you for this one, I have been wanting to learn how to use lights and lighting in my builds. So fun! Thanks.
Awesome, thanks so much. Glad you’re enjoying them!🙏
Furniture push or car Wax from spray bottle makes great Release agent
👍
Frickin’ awesome, man! Earned my Sub for sure.
Awesome. Thanks for the sub!
I'm happy to come across your channel!
These robots are very cool, and look super fun to make :)
I will definitely try it out!
Awesome! Thank you!
You're amazing!!!
I've always wanted to do something like this.
I bought a $10 11" robot from big lots, to see how I can start... maybe, lol.
Go for it, you got this! Keep your eye out for toys at your local thrift store to experiment on... if you mess it up it's only a buck or two. Trust me I had more than a few that didn't work out...😀
Just saw some of your videos on scratchbuilding droids from anything, awsone work man
I am doing some similar work to so you gave me a lot of ideas...
Keep up the good work!!
Cool, thanks!
Awesome!!!! Started collecting toys from Dollar Tree and learned about the world of Final Faction and found your channel. Definitely subscribing!!!
Welcome aboard! Thanks so much I really appreciate that!
This channel is great discover, thanks
Welcome!
Very nice build man, great idea separating the body with a spine probably gonna steal that idea for my next build and the paint job finished it off nicely. Looking forward to the next one. 😎
YES! And don't think of it as stealing... it's just one maker sharing with another maker! Hope it turns out amazing! 😀
You are amazing!
Wow, thank you!
I love the final result! I found it cool that even recycled the scraps from the recycled parts like you did on the forearm.
I just found your channel, but I subscribed and will continue to view your videos.
Thank you!
Very cool, well done!! 👍👍👍
Thank you 👍
excellent!
Thanks!
sweet Battle droid you built recently
Thanks!
Superb dude
Thank you so much 😀
Hoi hoi. Your build videos are great. I love watching them with my kids, we’re now collecting lids to have a go in making them ourselves. You’re very inspirational. There’s a toy line called World War Robots - your robots are very similar to them, but they’re like crazy money to buy. It would be awesome if you mimicked one of them in one of your own videos. If you could do that then I would love to watch it. Keep them coming!
First off, you have no idea how happy it makes me to hear you and your kids are looking forward to making your own creations. That is my main goal of my channel, to encourage others to go out and make something amazing! 😃
I haven't heard of World War Robots but I will definitely check it out!
Thanks so much for watching!
Oh, sorry ... after I looked it up I do know about these. I actually have a few. You're right, that are expensive! 😬
Nice work!
Thanks!
Found your channel looking up final faction. Fantastic work and very entertaining. Subd and thumbs up.
Awesome, thank you!
Yay!
😀🙏
You remember Black Hole?
Those beat up robots that were the good guys would be a great basis to build these types of robots from. those, or make mechs for the hero guys to ride around in...
I don't really know the show butI looked it up and those little robots are really cool!
Thanks for sharing.
Hi Dave, I came across your Buzz Lightyear video the other day and subscribed immediately. I have watched a bunch of your other videos since and I love what you do! Thanks for the awesome content. I can't wait to see what the future holds for you and your truly great channel :)
Awesome, thank you!
First of all WOW! Discovered your channel today and WOW! Love all of these amazing droids and reviews..
Have you tried "skeleton hoard" contrast paint yet? I love it on white as it gives a creamy brown finish, that shades down, but doesn't make it grey? It's been life changing for me!
Can't wait to see the next video! Thank you!
(Also WOW!)
I haven't but I will definitely look that up. Thanks for Sharing!
Hella cool
Thanks!🙏
Hi my friend, good job.
Thank you very much
Hi ! Your Droid is very bad ! i'm very very Fan of your work, i like the details you put. Still others. Scratch Build is life ;) (watching from France )
Hey, thanks for watching!
Very goog scratch
Thanks!
Fantastic Snow droid... Sorry that was on your other video , this one looks interesting though
Thanks!
7:39 the wall needs to be finished but good to see your priorities are in order, TOYS FIRST!
Too funny! I actually just drywalled my garage not to long ago and I was doing all the finishing mudding and sanding then I thought to myself... what am I doing? This is a garage!!! 😂
Thanks for pointing out my laziness! 😂😂😂
