It is the DREAM of every Godzilla collector to have that one figure that no one else has. When that never happens, you make your own. This was the case of the Neo-Monster Island Silver Burning Godzilla. Using some of my standard customization techniques, I took a normal Burning Godzilla and gave him an overhaul.

First I took the figure apart, and soaked him briefly in a bath of hot water and red RIT clothing dye. You would be surprised how many people actually think I use Kool-Aid. One the figure dries and cools, I reassemble him. I finish him off with a brief spritz of silver paint on his toes and spine.

It's simple enough that anyone can do it, and it looks professional. Sit him in your collection and see who notices the difference. I even designed and printed my own tag to go with the figure.
