- Are you ready for this how to video?! This one was pretty long and tricky. In the end doing this Spider-Man wasn't too bad at all and I'm glad I did it. I hope this helps you out there if you're wanting to do the same thing. Let me know in the comments if you end up trying this!

I like that Guile theme on piano.
Haha yeah! All the music in my videos come from this amazing LoFi artist: www.youtube.com/@LofiLiaMusic
Wow!!! This came out WAY better than I expected. I knew the paint on paint would be an issue but I'm shocked how easily you came up with ways to work around the challenge. Great job, dude!! I'm curious to see if the same strategies could be applied to VHS Jean Grey or if she would essentially require painting.
Thanks so much! I'll take another look at Jean Grey, but everything I've seen says that she basically has to be painted. At least parts of her do. So maybe that will be the impetus for me to do some paint matching.
And nice background music too, Guile's theme piano version. It really goes everything with that theme haha.

@@ComicallyToys thanks for sharing this sir.
Dude! I was waiting for this video for the last few days, and you did not disappoint! I think you pretty much aced this one! You're certainly getting more confidence at this!
I think that this Spider-Man--possibly the most daunting cel shaded figure you've tackled so far-- is a very intimidating figure because of how the shading is laid on. With the exception of the spider on the back, I think you really killed it, dude! I'm so proud of you! I've done a few paint removals with acetone, and I was wondering if I'd have even been willing to try this one or not. Your bravery inspired me to seek this figure out and try it! lol. Did you find that the ziploc bagging trick combined with the Tamiya tape worked well for you? It always seems to help me, because I know that if my fingers are left (heh) holding the bag, I'm not smudging acetone someplace on the figure, and I know that those areas are protected!
One of the reasons I prefer the "two swipes with a q-tip and out" method is because acetone will continue to dissolve your paint, the more you keep rubbing at it. Two swipes limits the amount of acetone, and you can come back to the same spot with a new q-tip and do two more swipes until it's gone. This method sounds wasteful, but it is a bit more effective on those bigger areas. You can bare down just a little on those bigger, island areas of tampo (like on the legs), and cut through things a lot faster. Also the two swipe method keeps the loose paint from getting spread around everywhere, making the area messy and spread out. Just remember to swipe once, rotate the head of the q-tip to the side you didn't use, then use that on your second pass. Then you can flip and dip the other end of the q-tip and do the two swipes with that one too. Then you throw that q-tip away and get another. It will reduce paint/acetone smudging and contamination to a smaller area to work within, and provide you with cleaner and possibly clearer results. No matter what you do, you're going to need to touch some things up, and a clear coat to restore the sheen will be necessary to even out the new matted areas where paint has been removed.
Many thanks as always, Loston! Yeah it definitely seems much more intimidating than I think it was. Or maybe I'm just getting more confident! haha!
Yeah I think the bag+tape was a fantastic combination and I think something I should have been doing since the beginning. It's definitely going into my modding "toolkit".
And yeah totally. I think if/when I do another de-cel shading that I'll see about using your method on a torso where it's a bit harder to remove paint. Thanks for the reminder!
While I do like the cel shading, I think you did a pretty decent job removing it.
Thanks so much! I actually like it too which is why I'm still trying to get a second that I can have factory painted.
Nice de-celing! More difficult than most but nice job. I honestly don't mind it, kinda like it actually, they put more effort to it than the expensive animated xmen figs. Also nice Ryu slowed version, very soothing.
Thanks so much! It was definitely really daunting. For all of the figures I de-cel shade I still also have an extra that still has the shading because I do like it too! And yeah the music is great! The majority of my videos have music from this amazing CZcamsr: youtube.com/@LofiLiaMusic
I really wish they’d re release this figure without the celshading
My pre-order is still showing "delayed" with Wal-Mart so I just wish they'd either cancel or fulfill mine already!
I do wonder though if they might do another version of this for the VHS line that they are doing for the animated Spider-Man series. While this is technically that Spider-Man, the packaging doesn't work at all with the VHS line, which is sort of the main point of the gimmick of that line. So it could be possible!
@@ComicallyToys I would love a VHS line of this figure with updates. The packaging is incredibly unique. I wonder who he could get paired with if they ever make one
I didn't even think about the idea of them pairing him, but that totally makes sense since the reveals they've shown so far have both been pairs! I think a nice pairing would be with him and animated MJ. And yeah I actually really like the packaging too. I generally am not an in box collector, but I've saved all of the VHS boxes so far.
That’s turned out sooo nice
THANK YOUUUUU!!! I was super nervous about this one actually and even though I got it earlier this week I kind of kept putting it off. I was worried about it just going absolute crap, but thankfully I took my own advice and just took my time with it and I'm super happy with the end result! Is this something you think you might try? Even if not on Spidey, there are a bunch of other cel shaded figures too.
Wow… just incredible
Thanks so much! Is this something you think you might be interested in trying?
Looks good, Im gonna try this. Thank you and more power.
Thanks so much! Definitely share your results after you try it!
Impressive! Turned out very well.
You definitely have more patience than I do! That cel shaded blue was caked on there pretty well. You did very well getting it off! 👏👏
When I did mine, I got most of the blue off the torso and arms but some spots got to the red of the figure so, I just said id do a paint match.
I did leave the back logo alone tho, Lol
I coulda painted it but it didn't look bad to me.
Great job man!! If I ever get another cel shaded Spidey, I may have to summon up the patience to try it your way.
Thanks so much! I definitely had to keep telling myself to just go slow because I'm also the type that just wants to blast through it and get it done haha! I'd love to learn more on paint matching. Specifically if there is an easy, repeatable way to do it so I can share it with others. If you have any tips then please share!
I think the Marvel legends Spiderman retro vintage still the perfect one yes Marvel legends Spiderman retro vintage is not 100% perfect but still Marvel legends Spiderman retro vintage is the perfect one that Marvel Legends has ever made and that why the price of Marvel legends Spiderman retro vintage is still expensive 😭cursed you Hasbro I bought the original one it at a cheap price but there is a defect in the paint of my Marvel legends Spiderman retro vintage is sadness 😭
Sorry to hear about your paint defect!
Great video and idea! I wonder if you have plans to do the same to the new Daredevil (2 pack Hydro-Man)?
Sorry for the late reply! But yes I plan to do it to Daredevil as soon as I can!
I said it once, but I’m gonna say it again. You never disappoint, keep going and never give up ❤
Your support really means so much to me! You've been my biggest cheerleader from the beginning so thank you so much!
@@ComicallyToys yeah no problem man ❤️
Great job! 🎉
Thank you! And THANK YOU for taking this on first and giving me the heads up about the arms!
amazing job
Thank you so much! Are you going to try something similar to this?
Once you work on a spot, for example the arm. Are you cleaning then rinsing it in warm water?
So when I make these paint removal videos I try to cut out as little as possible and instead just speed up the camera so you can see(as much as possible at least) if I'm cleaning in between. I would say it's a good idea to rinse in between since you could end up leaving some chemical on the figure for extended periods when you didn't intend to. While it's dramatically slower than regular acetone for removing paint, it still has similar properties of destruction if you leave it sitting on the figure long enough. I hope that helps!
Hi. Would you know if i can remove the cell shading from the iceman in the amazing 3 pack using this method?
I actually just recorded that video yesterday! I'll be editing and posting soon. Stay tuned! :)
@@ComicallyToys great thank you
What is the music playing in this video?
Any music I use in videos come from a VERY talented artist right here on CZcams. Here's the direct link to the song, but you should check out their other stuff too! czcams.com/video/6lln2ZqsEMs/video.html
Just got the figure and I’m wondering if mom acetone nail polish remover works
Yes it will work, but please keep in mind that you have to move very quickly if you use it. Acetone is very corrosive if you let it sit for too long. My first paint removal videos I did use acetone and some of the figures didn't turn out very well. Once I started using the product I showed in this video the results were just as good, if not better, plus I was able to take my time without ruining the figure. I hope that helps!
@@ComicallyToys it’s non acetone
I can't say for sure then if it'll work. If you try it then please let me know!
@@ComicallyToys too much of a risk deciding to go with nail polish remover
Is there a reason you're unable to get an acrylic brush remover like I show in the video? You might be able to find some in a local hobby shop.
Hey! Just came across this video! Thank you for the tutorial! I have a few questions. I started with the right leg and in the process of getting the cel shading off the leg, I ended up leaving some scuffs/scratches on the blue plastic. Is there anyway to polish out those scratches?
Thank you!
Thanks I'm glad you found it useful! How did you leave scratches? The chemical shouldn't have been that corrosive at all to damage it like that. Feel free to share links/pictures if you like, but depending on how bad it is you could probably just use 2000 grit sandpaper to try to smooth it out.
@@ComicallyToys I goof'd. So when I tried removing the paint I was using rubbing alcohol. I went back through your other videos (The Storm one) and discovered that rubbing al was not the way to go, lol. Funny enough, the nail polish remover ended up smoothing out the scratches that were left from using rubbing alcohol/rubbing the plastic vigorously. So, its all good now. Thank again for videos and tutorials on this process, really appreciate it!
Ohhh I gotcha. Yeah the acetone/nail polish would definitely smooth it out when done right and it sounds like you did it right! I'm glad I was able to be helpful! :)
hey, i removed a lot of the cel shading with nail polish remover. a few damage spots on the blue but i was planning on painting after removing anyways (will be buying paint tomorrow). i know you said you aren’t great with the paint matching/painting over, but do you have any tips? i’ve sanded down the parts im going to mask the figure up (obviously). this is for the blue bits only but i will be touching up a tiny bit of the red that’s kinda dulled out on the chest
So the dullness definitely comes from the nail polish remover/acetone. I'd recommend for the future that you switch to the brush cleaner that I link in the video as it'll not be nearly as harsh.
In terms of paint matching, the only real tip I have is to bring the figure with you to your local hobby shop to look for the right(or as close to) color that you can. I've tried getting paints to match VHS Jean Grey and I've gotten close-ish, but I'm still not 100% happy with what I've found. I at first tried matching against the printed color sample, and I DO think I matched that well, but the actual color of the paint ended up looking different. So if you're able to just open the cap/lid of the paint and compare it to your figure then you'll get a much better idea of how well the color matches. I was hoping that maybe the color would dry a little differently, but it's really the same color wet as it is dry so keep that in consideration too.
If you're going to actually start with a color that is close and try to match then I'd probably get black and white as well to try to darken/lighten slowly to try to get it that much closer to the right color. I'm not sure if it's easier to go dark or light though. Haha maybe this should just be another video I make!
What’s the brand of the black marker you use?
It's a Gundam Marker! You can find it in this 2 pack(because it's cheaper than getting it by itself): amzn.to/3H7b22n
@@ComicallyToys Can you show the finish product after you fixed the back logo?
I still haven't actually gone back to fix it! I've been so busy with each new project. I really think the only way to fix it is to paint match it, which I have no skill in doing at the moment. :(
@@ComicallyToys does a thinner works to remove the cel shading paint?
It PROBABLY would work, but I don't have any experience with it so please be careful and test on a small spot(or a different figure you don't care about) to make sure it isn't too corrosive.
just buy the MAFEX this isn’t even worth it
I think "worth" is pretty subjective. For some people they can literally afford this figure more easily than the Mafex version. For other people they prefer to keep all of their figures within the same line as much as possible, and there are even other people that are interested in the challenge of doing something like this. I think all ways of collecting are valid and fun!
@@ComicallyToys i hear you, this paint removal just seems like such a hassle. isn’t this figure like already over $30? and you bought 2 right? so you’re nearly at the cost of a mafex anyway and it doesn’t need extra work to look good. but i agree with you every one has different tastes. variety is the spice of life 👍
@@CYeoung It actually wasn't too bad. I had been putting it off for awhile because it seemed really daunting. But I think it just seemed scarier than it really was. Yeah I ordered 2, but before I started this channel I only ever bought 1 of each figure(with a few exceptions) but at this point I get 2 for anything that I modify since I do like to keep things factory/original as well. I'm definitely interested in the Mafex one though! I might see about getting that and the Mezco to do a comparison. Do you collect any Mafex or Mezco?
$100 figure VS $35? 🤔 Also they're both nearly impossible to find, atleast animated spidey, unless you get off 2nd market like I did, $55 😢 hope it's worth it.
@@suhtangwong so it’s not $35 then is it
