Figure Realm Comments and Questions

I'm going be honest, in the years of competing in contests against my peers it helped me become a better customizer. It also raised my creativity levels and imagination. I think contests is a asset for customizers for showcasing their work and knowing where they stand as a artist.Its a way of improving your skills and raising confidence when you place well. Basically, competing on this site was fun and also a learning process. Hopefully it will be back

I don't know why they were canceled but then again I joined kinda late..toward the end of the run on that.. It was fun voting..it was basically like a blind critique showcase. I especially thought the themes were imaginative.

They were cancelled because not enough people were entering the contests. One of the last ones had only one submission. Guy took all three medals for that one. I entered a few of them myself and they were fun. I just wish there was a way to get them back.

Good catch! It should be fixed now.

Appreciate the help sir!

It's a very similar process as submitting a Custom. You can submit it from this link:

Thank you Sir!

Success!!! Thanks for the help

it should appear as 'collection' point at the overview of your public profile,like comments,topics,customs,etc...

I clicked on a person's profile and see their customs, but I do not see a Community Action section nor a way to follow someone. Please help.

Thank you, I’ll give that a try!

Im not sure what the official path to " following " a fellow customizer is , but I have found that if you click on a users name after they have posted a comment in the comments section ( at the bottom of the posting ) it will bring you to their profile. Then in the Community Actions section you can chose to follow them. Then when they post a new custom it will show up as a alert on your home page.

Thank you very much.

Best way is to send the customizers' work you like a personal message to see if they would be interested in doing a commission. To do that, open the page for one of their submitted customs, then click on the small icon at the end of their name, from there you will have access to a link allowing you to contact the customizer.

What are you having trouble with, sounds like a straitforward job.

I recently bought a jeweler's saw specifically to cut styrene to make weapons and stuff, works great.

You could post it as a comic strip. The limit is 20 pictures per comic though.

Not familiar with these, but a quick search turned up this forum and topic http://dinotoyblog.com/forum/index.php?topic=650.0 maybe there's some info there that can help. Anyway, most of the time, battery operated toys tend to use fragile components, VERY thin wire with bad/weak solder joints, cheap plastic gears in motors and other moving parts which can still deteriorate over time despite how well they're stored. In general, the first thing I'd try is cleaning the battery contacts since oxidation of the metal can still occur. If that doesn't work, check to see if there are any loose or disconnected wires. Those are probably the two most common and easy to address issues, so I'd start there.

Thank you! I'll try cleaning the battery compartment first. They're in fine condition otherwise but it would be better if they still worked!
