OK i remember a long time ago on this fourm, people would get mad because other people would post fix-ups in the customs forum, so there was 2 different fourms made, one for customs and one for fix-ups, and heres what makes customs different from fix-ups Customs are about 99.9% painted, fix-ups are about 50% painted, customs are about 40-50% (or more) sculpted(hair, kick pads, beard, knee pads, elbow pads ect ect) customs can be posed, fix-ups cannot, customs must have 100% detail, fix-ups do not, and last but not least...customs take alot more time effort and talent to do then fix-ups i am not saying anything bad about fix-ups, i did alot my self, but in my mind, a custom will always beat a fix up to me, and here is why fix-ups most of the time will look alot better then customs, why? because you are just getting a figure and changing the bad stuff about it into good, like different hair style, different attire, beard, shirts...well you get the point, so really there is not much of a chance for you to mess up, you got a great company like jakks doing all the hard work for you, but you just pick up on there lazyness and fix the little imperfections that they do, on the other hand, customs take really re-doing almost everything on the figure, some of you might not know, but its very easy to mess up a custom, bad choice in skin tone, messing up on the eyes, all that stuff takes talent, i have done both my fair share of customs and fix-ups, and both take talent and time to do, but customs take alot more talent and time, i dont know what this contest is about, but i dont know any of the people that are in it, never talked to them or anything, this is just the truth, so in my mind, i dont really care what the contest was about, but the better figure wins and thats haku by scott, end of story... ok so you know the old deffinition of a fixup.... but gates custom is more of a custom then scotts is.... he sculpted the shirt beard hair and hat..... and painted the whole attire... the only thing he does not have is the skintone..... Haku is just a sclpted/modded head........ the rest is no modding at all just repaints..... |

Can't we just end this arguement? They were two great customs by two great customizers. Enough said. We are the winners in this match because we got to see them.

scottxxnwohall.
very, very, VERY hard decision, but I think the head and body hair on Scott's puts him over the top.
great match though!

As everyone else has been saying this is a really close match, but I gotta go with scottxxnwoxxhall....Both figures are great, but there's something about Haku that I just like a little bit more...

Gates custom is by far more then a fix-up. agreed i guess ill add my thoughts scott the mystery guy ok i like the custom alot but i dont like the legs on it or the feet/ankle tape stuff.good painting as ussual. judging to the ref pic you off alittle bit gate i love this custom. nice sculpting of the shirt and beret and good painting as always.judging to the ref pic and that i already knew there was a variant it is very accurate thus the winner is GATECITYSINNER |

I really hate to top an old thread but i spend hours searching through topics trying to see if i could find a Corp K as i'm looking for some ideas to make one myself. Since a "true" winner was never declaired I guess i'll add my two cents to the match.
Both figures are great but i'm going to have to go with Corp K. due to lack design (or just lack of better pictures) on Haku.

It's from March! Word of advice, just use the Search option next time you want to find something. |

What I don't understand is how you think you can take custom orders when your stuff likes like crap. |

You know I am right so you try to insault me to make yourself look less stupid. I dont care if you praise GCSs work as I and alot of other people do. But why top an old post like this It is completly pointless. |
