Yeah, those prices are crazy, but people wont stop paying that, so he is making bucks hand over fist. It must be the bright LED lights in his customs, they attract flies. Just check out what his Custom MU Hordak went for $430......YE OUCH cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=320523012765

found that guy who made the first one on deviantart... his stuff is pretty rad. I understand after reading his construction notes why the price is so high. he used parts off of around 6 different figures to make the drone. He also did a realy awesome looking army one. here is a link to his gallery... he has a bunch of joe figures too that are pretty slick... jin-saotome.deviantart.com/gallery/has anyone ran across this guy b4? is he someone we'd want to invite here? his dev.art handle is Jin-Saotome... ring a bell with anyone?

I've seen him several times on JC. Doesn't really seem too active other than posting his customs.

We had invited Jin, if memory serves me correctly. I don't know him personally but I know I've read some back and forth between a member of our board and Jin.

He posts at Joe customs about once a month on average with about four customs that he is putting on Ebay.

Yeah, he only posts to promote his "business". I've never seen him post in a thread that isn't about his customs. I guess this site doesn't attract enough traffic for it to be worthwhile to him.

Jin posts at EVERY website that will allow him to advertise his custom auctions. The ones that don't allow it, he won't bother with. And that's pretty much ALL he posts. He does great work, and gets insane money for it, but he has a bad attitude IMO towards community or any kind.

well that settles it then. I kind of figured as much. although for someone making figures to sell he explains alot of his recipees on deviantart which I thought was odd. Most people who are anal about their customs selling won't give out any details as to keep their techniques a secret...
still realy cool work... most of his work is with the 6" figures, at least with the iron man figs anyway... I was a little disapointed that the drones were 6"... I have yet to see a good 4" one.

I'm sure the fact that given the desire, anyone here could replicate his stuff & therefore has no need to pay him, doesn't help.

Heck given his lists of parts he uses off of deviantart, and given the money enough to purchase all the figures to get those parts, I could probably do these even...

I was really hoping to get him active here since it's a closed board, but like Marcus said, he only seems to be interesting in promoting his business, which I can totally understand. I let anyone do all the self promoting they like here, but I'd prefer they be active in our community.

My favorite part about Jin is that he's a white dude. For years I thought he was Asian or some such. His customs are really well done, he's one hell of a kit- basher, but it's his ability to shoot incredible pictures that puts them over the top. I've looked through his deviant-art gallery... alot of stuff... good photos your right. he does better work in the larger scales though, I didn't care too much for most of his smaller scale figures. I realy liked his bat variations though...
