Any interest in a shipping tutorial? in Off Topic by Henchmen4Hire   
Tuesday, December 20, 2016
   [Edit]
When people send me things, sometimes I notice they overpay shipping by a bunch. Do you think it would be helpful to have a shipping guide in the Tutorials section? It would cover the basic stuff like buying postage online, what the difference is between First Class and Priority Mail, etc.

=====================================

EDIT: Here's a quick guide, I'll try to answer any questions.

I'll be covering the most commonly-used shipping services the USPS offers. (United States Postal Service)

*Postage costs less if you buy it online than if you buy it at the post office in person. The savings add up quick! I'll be referring to online prices here.

**Tracking is free when you buy postage online.

***Buy a scale, you need it to weigh your ...[See More]

Blegh, that should only cost like $3 to ship, even less if they buy their postage online.

I updated the topic with a quick guide.
Creating a Figure Realm Hall of Fame Section in Off Topic by VicVeinz   
Sunday, September 11, 2016
   [Edit]
I have a idea for Figure Realm to create a Figure Realm Hall Of Fame (HOF) section on the site. Many great and elite customizers from the past contributed and inspired many with their work to make this website what it is today. With a Hall of Fame section many new customizers can learn the history of this site as well have knowledge of the great customizers that lay the foundation to make this hobby great and for all to remember and honor their names,avatars, backstory and resume of their fantastic custom figures made when they were active. There should be a selection process and voting system on who will get inducted to HOF. The first customizer that should get inducted automatically should be Glen Webb. He inspired many and his work and...[See More]

   [Edit]
As many of my fellow Realmers may know, Carrie Fisher died today at age 60. A sad day, and a loss to both her family and cinema.

Go peacefully into the Force Carrie, you were the dream and idol to many throughout the galaxy.

How would you Realmers feel about a Contest dedicated to this legend's memory?...[See More]

I can't believe she's gone... I never met her but it feels like I lost a close friend,silly I know but it's really how I feel right now, I stil can't get my mind around it.

Their should be a custom contest dedicated in her memory, without a doubt.
I can't wait too see the tributes here dedicated to this fantastic lady, who always made me smile in everything she did..

goodbye carrie, we'll miss you... rip

Hello everyone!

Just found this site yesterday and it is AWESOME! I am almost 50 years old and have been playing with - er, I mean Collecting Toys and action figures for most of my life. It started with the original Star Wars figs and then I got into G I Joe and now it's pretty much anything. I have a pretty extensive accumulation of figures and I also have an eBay store where I sell them.

The most of one type I have are G. I. Joe's, must have about 1,000. Also trying to get all of the Simpsons Interactive figs and playsets.

Anyway, the site looks great and I can't wait to poke around more!

See ya around!

Where do you keep all your figures? I have them all in a giant tub because there's nowhere to display them lol

I guess it's time to start putting some in the bathroom to spruce the place up

Glenn Webb in Off Topic by Deaditor   
Sunday, August 28, 2016
   [Edit]
Many of you know of Shartimus Prime or Sean Long, but Glenn came along and joined that community. They all had great respect for each other and we as viewers watch all of them. Glenn passed away unfortunately. He just didn't wake up apparently it's a hereditary thing that can happen in rare cases. Glenn gave us entertainment some unique ideas and shows like his toy rewind or confessions of an eBayaholic. He was very active in responding to his fans and it has genuinely shocked me that he's passed. I wish his family and friends my deepest sympathies. This is a tragedy that shouldn't have happened, but we can all actively go and sign the petition to have a marvel legends made of him. I think this is a great way to honour him, hopefully in his...[See More]

I was so shocked! Woke up in the morning to check Instagram and saw Glenn had died! It was so sudden, he looked healthy and happy....at least he died peacefully. He was my favourite YouTuber, he got me through times and he was always there to give an in-depth review of the figures he had. He was funny and nice, and I was so devastated. R.I.P Glenn
I'll always remember you
Glenn Webb Marvel Legend in Off Topic by wolverinefan83   
Saturday, August 27, 2016
   [Edit]
I came across this petition on Shartimus Prime's channel. Somebody has gotten a petition going to try and get a Marvel Legends of Glenn. I think this could be the greatest honor we could do in memory of this man who has brought us so many great reviews and showed us his love of action figures. "Hasbro: Remember Glenn Webb with a Marvel Legend."

I think this is important. Will you sign it too?

Here's the link:

Appreciation post in Off Topic by Deaditor   
Wednesday, August 10, 2016
   [Edit]
So a while back I posted a question asking what you get out of customising, why you do it basically and got some cool responses and then I believe I talked about how messy we can be and our fodder spare pieces boxes or bags, but I thought I'd just take a minute to appreciate this site and its members. This site allows us to show our work and share it with the world but more importantly it has members who continue to show their support and vice versa. People like Dr Knightmare or Rudotrese, Durin, LOTR Customs or Yokai-John, ENulmerfigs to name a few, if I missed you out its because there are so many of you and you know who you are. You don't have to have the largest presence hell you don't even have to have made any customs just the people ...[See More]

This post is not lame..it's the truth!! Customizing is a source we all could expressive ourselves and handle stress that life put upon us. Many times when life kicks you in the @ss, I turned to customizing and get lost in my art to mentally re-focus again.It helps..its a form of theraphy

Anyone want to write a Marvel fanfic with me? in Off Topic by StarGirl

I'm a little bored a little lonely is anyone interested in writing a Marvel crossover?
The overall idea is Jessica facing Kilgrave moments along with other heroes, The Avengers have fallen under Kilgrave's mind control.
Some of the Guardians of the Galaxy have fallen under: Only ones who remain are Star Lord and Rocket. Daredevil is there with Jessica Jones and Luke Cage has fallen under Kilgrave's mind control.
There was this particular scene I had in mind that Luke Cage is there crushing Star Lord and Jessica tackles Luke....[See More]
