So I rarely come up with unique threads, but this is seriously something that interests me.
Come and share pictures of custom amiibo's either made by yourself or people on the interwebs.
Here's a few I have found.

Come share your collections too and please enjoy your stay :)

I got Marth.

I'm planning on painting him green (in the same way as he looks with the in-game recolor) as well as tweak him a bit so he's more detailed. (Like leaving darker colors inside creases, that kinda stuff)

I just have to figure out what the **** am I gonna do with the insignia on the back of his cape, cause there's no ****ing way I'll be able to recreate that.

I'll probably have to get some extra paint too, I used to collect Warhammer miniatures, and still have a lot of paints from that time, but about half of them have completely dried up.

Can someone teach me what paint to use if I wanted to custom design Amiibo colors?

I might like to know this as well.

EDIT: Found a thread on reddit. Apparently acrylic paint is the kind to use for this. Wet q-tips can be used to spot treat misses.

I just add an accessory which was under my sleeve. It's not really perfect or hard. I planned to be more into painting / fimo later
Acrylic works wells with fimo. It really easy to make something wich works well. Don't be afraid. I post my Kirby later.

Super helpful! I'm paraphrasing some stuff just so it's easier

"Keep two q-tips nearby, one wet and one dry. That way if you slip and get blue on white you can use the wet qtip to get the paint off and the dry one to dry it off, best of luck!"

"Actylics, it was trickier than I had originally thought because you need a really tiny brush to get into some of his cracks and crevices, especially under his [Yoahi's] legs.

"The brand name I used was called AppleBarrel, I got it from Walmart.

So I was wondering if anyone had any idea how to do this?

I thought of just doing some sort of mini-stencil, but the thing's so freaking detailed it's just not feasible at all. And I just don't trust myself to paint it manually.

I guess I could always just leave it out, or change it for something else. But that's kinda lame.

Might try painting a Samus amiibo into a Light Suit / Dark Suit / Fusion Suit.
I've heard it starts to lean a bit over because of the cannon, though, so I might get a Kirby amiibo and put a little Meta Knight mask on it, or a Link amiibo painted gold or blue or whatever.

I can't wait to get artblock thinking of what to do with them.

I'm going to make a Monkey D. Kirby with Straw Hat and scar.

I also want to make double characters Amiibo with a little Pikachu on a Kirby something like that.

I would pay someone to do a repaint of my Link amiibo, but I wouldn't personally do it. I'd probably mess it up.

Hi guys see that you are all enjoying the thread :D
Any way I plan on making two (or should I say 3) cut characters a reality.
will become a redone job of:4ness:with a similar pose just with the hair, blue eyes, different mouth, shoes, colours and the lack of a back pack :)
:popo:
will become a reality through good old Killager:4villager: as they can be customized form what I can tell.
I will upload a sketch later on how these 3
:popo:
can be made from these two:4ness::4villager: :)
If it's possible to do.
Note: I plan on making
it's trying to change him fro a :4fox:Fox amiibo might be extremely hard so I might have to wait for different amiibo like :4falco::4lucario: to pull of a decent pose.

If you turn Wii Fit Trainer into Fi I might just pay you.

That might be extremely easy if I was to cut a few parts like the leg and re-adjust it near to the front and if I change that arm of hers


Plus their faces are extremely similar :D
Right? It's totally possible since their structures are so similar.

Forgive me if someone has already asked/pointed it out, but what is the best kind of paint to use on an Amiibo?

I've been thinking of possibly buying a custom for my birthday(Cause I can't paint or trust myself on even trying to do it). But the price seems expensive when I looked them up. But the fire mario ones are so tempting(and blue luigi).

I, too, made a custom Pink Gold Peach amiibo based off of someone from amiibo reddit
