each time i buy sets of figures. my wife(previously was my mom who does the ranting)would be saying:WHY ARE YOU BUYING all THESE TOYS, EVEN YOUR KIDS ALSO CANNOT PLAY(note the upper case). I told her: I appreciate the pose and of course those scantily dressed babes if there are any in the set.

As time goes along, and with the constant blasting from my wife, I told myself:'Woah, I have been spending alot of money admiring people's figures and i can't even open up and play, why am i still doing it?

These got me thinking for quite a while; Why don't I make my own figures as much as my imagination can allow me, I can do all those wild dynamic pose for figures which you can't get it from figures of the shelves. It would be cool to have a naked wonder woman figure,(don't you think). if there's interest, why not sell it.(marvellous)These thoughts has been boucing around.bouce bouce bouce.It could maybe turn to reality when just the right amount of push and motivation

For me, sadly I don't have the skills to do it even if I wanted to. Customizing still possible but not from scratch.

Yeah, time is a major obstacle, I still got numerous model kits yet to touch on and I doubt I'll have the time to do it in the near future.
