I enjoy taking a figure that has a good sculpt and making it better.
I bought a Walmart Exclusive 11” Groot figure on clearance for $5. It was sculpted really well but due to budgets the company used very little colors. I used the Hot Toys Life Size Groot figure photos as a reference and used Tamiya acrylic paints and went to town. I repainted the head, body and all other details to match the photos. I went a little green crazy on the head because he has lots of moss on his sprout head.
Anyone can do this with the right paints and lots of patience and you can turn a $5 figure into a $200 figure.
