Customizing Mutant Mayhem Donnie! | TMNT Action Figure Custom
Vložit
- čas přidán 7. 07. 2024
- The new Mutant Mayhem action figures are already pretty dang rad, but I thought I'd upgrade my Donatello by recreating the sai-in-leg screaming gag from the teaser trailer!
I also designed and 3D-printed a custom Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles toy stand for this and all the Turtle Brothers! More on the making of those in a future video.
As always, thanks for watching. If you dig this video, I have even more cool projects planned for this year. Be sure to subscribe for more-and, hey, why not follow me on Instagram while you're here? / sweatingsmallstuffart
Until next time, it's 𝘴𝘵𝘪𝘭𝘭 in my leg...

The cool thing about this customization is there's no need to be perfect. Any minor imperfections reflect the unique art style of the film
This is the nicest insult I’ve ever received 😂
@sweatingsmallstuffart Nah yours looks fantastic. I just meant if anyone wanted to try it out for themselves. (especially someone less experienced such as myself) Sorry I should've specified. 😅
I’m just messing with ya, I know what you meant 😉 I appreciate the kind words-and it’s true about the art style!
He did a stellar job though
Unique animation style, is an understatement. It was as, if whoever was hired to do it. Was still in h.s. and they offered the kid a small fee for it. So they could get away with making a low budget, TMNT movie. 🤣
How does this man not have many subs
Working on it 😎 Cheers!
This was a fun custom, thanks for sharing the file to print the base.
No problem, and thanks for watching! Glad you dug the custom 👍
@@sweatingsmallstuffart Just watched a few of your videos with my class. I teach kindy in China. They enjoyed them a lot.
@@BooshmanLee Oh, rad!! So glad your class enjoyed the vids-that’s awesome, thanks so much again!
@@sweatingsmallstuffart Nice one dude, you've inspired me to make a more accurate Super Fly too, wanted one for a while but never got to it. I think I'm gonna extend the torso a bit and add some eyelids too.
Pls make this into a series would love to see raph next
I agree
Definitely thinking about it! I've also got another video (Short) dropping this week that'll include all four Turtle figures 😎
Aaaaaaaaàaaaaaa
Re-molding the mouth just takes it to another level. Well done.
Thanks so much!
Nice customization! 😊
Thanks so much!
@@sweatingsmallstuffart you are welcome 🤗
I just noticed that at 1:13 it kind of looks like when Donnie was screaming in the 2012 series because of the whited out eyes!
Love 2012 Donnie! Rob Paulsen is the MA-er, TURTLE 😎
looks straight out of the movie!! :0
Ha, thanks!
Me parece GENIAL este custom!!! Ya tienes en mi un nuevo seguidor, éxitos y bendciones camarada!!!❤❤❤❤❤
¡Guau, muchas gracias! Realmente lo aprecio ☺
YOO this looks awesome well done
Thanks so much!
One of my favorites never give up man!
Awesome! Thanks for the kind words 🙏
You make it look so easy great job
Thank you! Definitely a lot of hours in between shots, but I try to make it entertaining 🙂
Donnie: Aaaggghhh!
Leo: Oh, my God!
Mikey: Leo, what happen? Is Donnie bleeding?
Donnie: It's still in my leg.
🗡️🦵😱
EEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!
Wait! What
SICK!!!
Booyakahbungalah Dude!!!
Who needs to shell out lotso moolah Dollars when you can customize😂😂😂😂😂🎉
Very true!!
I kind of wish you kept the sketch lines because it would’ve made it a little more accurate to how he looked in the movie
I know, I still wish I could have made them work. I think with a little more finesse and materials, I could have gotten them to a place I was satisfied with, but ultimately think the clean look worked best for the overall figure.
@@sweatingsmallstuffart I agree it looks awesome your a great customizer
Leo next!?
Possibly, if I can come up with other fun scenes to recreate! BUT, I've already made custom stands for the other three brothers-more on those in a separate video, which I'll be posting in the next few days 😎
So dope!!!
Thanks!
It's a really nice job, congrats!!
Thanks a lot!
Have you ever thought about printing out dioramas for figures? by the way, the figure looks amazing! love the detail and time spent on it. How does one learn how to do these things? sorry if i'm asking too much questions haha.
Hey, thanks so much! To answer your questions: I have definitely thought about designing and 3D-printing more intricate dios for my figures-I'll likely get more into that in future builds! As for how I learned this stuff, I've been customizing, sculpting, and painting since I was a kid but only recently picked it back up again this year after being inspired by the tons of amazing makers here on CZcams. I've learned a lot of new tricks just by watching their videos (North of the Border, Boylei Hobby Time, Studson Studio, and Nerdforge, just to name a few). Hope that helps!
bro needs more subs for this
Thanks!! Working on it 😉
Nice video! Good job👍🏻
Thank you!
THis is soo good and creative man! love it!
Hey, thanks so much!
Cool figure. Next time you should talk in your video. Walk us through, give us your thoughts.
Thanks for the feedback! I've actually toyed with doing VO, but I also dig the "just vibes" format I've got going rn. However, maybe I'll try it in a future video!
@@sweatingsmallstuffart you’d be surprised how many people love Tom just hear you talk, even when you’re not talking about the project.
Again you did a great job!
Bro you’re so talented. Perfect job, I would buy it 😅
Yo, thanks so much!
Nice job you did a better job than panting the toy than the maker's themselves
Thanks for the complement!
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥💯
👌🔥💯
🙏💚😎
Donatello: *(screaming his lungs out in pain)*
Leonardo: OH MY GOD! Oh my-I'm gonna be sick.
Michaelangelo: Leo, what happened? Is Donnie bleeding?
Raphael: *(from the background)* My bad my bad! It was an accident!
Donatello: It's still in my leg!
Leonardo: Mikey, watch out!!
🗡️🦵😱
!!!emergency!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!¡!!
What kind of paints do you use? I kind of want of do this to the 12 inch figures to get something similar to 1/6 scale.
Apple Barrel acrylics! You can find a link to the ones I bought in my video description 👍
Hey!! Ive been customizing my turtles too. Mine are no where near as good as yours but i was wondering what paint you used for the belts, fanny pack, and headphones? I've had trouble with my acrylic paint adhering.
Thanks! I used Apple Barrel acrylics for everything except the metal bits, which were painted with Vallejo Metal Color Silver. I had similar issues as you getting the paint to stick (especially on the sprue), but I found with enough coats-and the occasional blast from my heat gun-it would eventually adhere. Hope this helps!
@sweatingsmallstuffart I'll have to try that. Thanks!!
Man I just did a Michelangelo and it bummed me out he didn’t have those tiny teeth and cute ass braces
Never too late!
honestly this video and all your others are so well made, after watching this video i was shocked when i saw you only had 629 ( 1 more now ;) ) subscribers! your gonna make it far on youtube and i cant wait for it to happen :)
Wow, thank you much! This means a lot, I really appreciate it 🙏
this is amazing
Thanks!
Awesome upgrade! Looks AMAZING! Could I do this with my own ninja turtle figure?
Thank you so much! I am always pro-customization 👍
Great video! Did you bake the plastic toy head in the oven as well, or baked the sculpey separately and glued it on?
Thank you! I wouldn't recommend it, but in this case I baked the whole head in the oven. Since it was only in for about 10 minutes at 275 degrees, it wasn't enough to melt the plastic or create any fumes. That said, if/when I sculpt clay on plastic again, I'll probably just use my heat gun.
@sweatingsmallstuffart Thank you for the detailed response. 🙏
@@GrasshopperBoy Of course!
What color / brand did you use for silver? looks good I like what you did very much :)
Hey, thanks so much! I used Vallejo Silver Metal Color for all the silver bits.
Yo how do you remove their belts. My Raph figure came with a removable belt but all the other ones are like stuck on the figures really well.
Yeah, there’s definitely glue to contend with on Don, Leo, and Mikey. I used a heat gun to securely remove Donnie’s gear, but I ended up ripping plastic on both Leo and Mikey’s belts. Luckily they were in spots that were covered up/unnoticeable upon reassembly. Hope this helps 👍
this is amazing dude!! great job!
so are you gonna do anything else tmnt bc i am here for it
Thank you very much! Donnie was the first-you can find the other Turtle customs on my channel 🙂
Bro your really good
Hey, thanks!
im getting mine this week and im deffo gonna be doing something like this since the paint job is not that good and the rack is unpainted
Nice! I’d love to see it 😄
Awesome! What green did you use for the skin? I'm going to have to copy it
Thanks! It was actually a mixture of yellow, green, and brown. Ratio was maybe 4:1:1. I wanted to make Donnie's skin a little less neon green and more olive like the promo material, so I did a base of that and then drybrushed a little yellow-green (5:1ish) on top to give the base coat a little life. Hope this helps!
@@sweatingsmallstuffart oh you did a yellow dry brush! That's the magic in there I was curious about. Thanks!
came from the leonardo video, subscribed, and went straight to the first one!
quick question(s): how many layers of paint do you use, and how long do these usually take?
That's awesome to hear-thanks so much for your support!! Glad you dig the videos.
As to your questions: I don't have a set number of layers, it kind of depends on the level of "depth" I'm going for and/or how well the plastic takes the paint. (For example, the sprues for whatever reason have a hard time taking paint, so I usually prime them first so the paint doesn't chip off.) Re: how long do these customs take-I really need to start keeping track in hours, but... a lot, haha. If I'm efficient, I can usually knock out one figure + accessories in 4-5 days, working a few hours a day, but... again, it kind of depends on how much additional sculpting/painting I'm doing. Hope this helps!
@@sweatingsmallstuffart Totally! Thanks, man!
Just curious of the measurement for the peg holes of the turtles. Wanted to make one so as to have a base like your turtles. Newbie here in customizing. Hope would be notice
If memory serves, they were larger than most, I think like 4mm. Approximately, cuz the peg holes are angular, not round… Hope that helps!
@@sweatingsmallstuffart thank you so much
@@sweatingsmallstuffart last question what kind of paint should i use in painting my turtles? Acrylic?
@@steverowe4535 Yep! That’s what I used anyway.
How did you take the fanny pack off without damaging anything? Mine is glued on.
For some reason, my Donnie's fanny pack wasn't glued on (though the smartphone was glued into the fanny pack). However, I have run into the glue issue with the other Turtles' belts. My heat gun has helped in loosening things, but they've definitely sustained some damage in the process. Luckily, it's all in spots that can be covered up during reassembly. Hope this helps!
that last song, sounds familiar.
I get all my music from Epidemic Sound, so it’s probable you’ve heard it elsewhere around CZcams!
Awesome custom build. Great painting skills. Well done.
Hey, thanks so much! Appreciate it 👍
do this custom on mikey Raphael and leo plssss
Working on them now!
I’m gonna need you to do this to all of mine please!
No prob 😉
Good job
Where did you find the sticker for the bo staff?
I actually hand-painted them! I realized there were tiny indentations in the staff where the stickers would go, so I just tried my best to color-match what was in the promo material based on those indentations.
Cool
@@sweatingsmallstuffart Pretty sweet work, If I do say so myself. I'm all impressed.
how much would it be to bye REPLICAS of the custome turtles btw im in the UK
Hey, Xander! I’m currently not selling any of my creations… but maybe someday! Thanks for your interest 👍
