When it comes to toy lines that encourage customizations such as Lego Glyos and Busou Shinzo. As adults how often do you find yourself actually customizing figures?

If you mean simple building stuff with lego/glyos/shinki parts? All the time. I collect all three toylines you mention, btw.

If by customization you mean permanent changes like scratchbuilding and painting, never. I'm terrified I'll botch it.

Yeah I just meant building. I always intend to and it is a big selling point for me but when it comes down to it I more times then not just leave it as is.

Well with Lego I buy parts with Bricklink and build with ideas I have in mind. It's rare I buy sets. So everything I make in lego is built custom.

With Glyos I'll usually do something simple like add Axis parts to boost a Glyan although sometimes I'll get a little more creative. I'd say maybe half of the Glyos I have has been modified built at one point instead of kept as original figure.

With the few Shinkies I have I've tried to do some things putting parts together but I've never really been satisfied with the results and so I'll either have them in original armored-up configuration or just as dolls.

Shimmies? As a /toy/ reader this sounds familiar but I cannot place it.

Busou Shinki. Android girls with armor parts. Dead(?) toyline.

>>6141293
Busou Shinki is dead in its original form, but Kotobukiya has sort of taken up the reigns in the form of Frame Arms Girls and Megami Device (which is actually sculpted by Masaki Apsy just like the original Shinki bodies were).

I used to build a lot with Glyos actually, but one common criticism with the line now is that it seems to be moving away from buildability. It's less about big squads with tons of buildable pieces in the same color, and more about single standalone character figures and homages to 80s toylines. I hope it finds itself and returns to its roots someday.
