Customization Center has begun
Our new customization center is just getting started! We need folks to help out and share your customs, techniques and skills with the community. We are looking to provide a variety of guides on Nendoroid customization from the perspective of a variety of community members. We've started with the basic tool lineup video and will be adding some more of our own, but we need your help! We need written guides with photos, step by step pics of customs in process of being made, or videos detailing a particular technique or instruction on the use of certain tools or materials. You can pick from the list below or suggest some of your own. Just reach out via email, on social media, or come chat on Discord (links at the bottom of the main page and to the side bar):
- Intro to the tools (already done from our YouTube video)
- Beginner guide; picking parts and re-painting
- Intermediate guide; modifying parts and painting
- Advanced guide; build up re-sculpting, modifying, and painting
- Painting guide; techniques for shading and highlighting
- Painting with airbrush
- Guide to dying parts
- Face painting guide
- 3D printing; modeling

Social Media Changes
We have just ended our Twitter (aka X) account and have started a new TikTok account. My intention is to soon be producing a lot more content at the start of each month and scheduling content releases throughout the month to promote new items, update about changes and additions to the Chop Shop programs and to start sharing more info and resources regarding customization, part compatibility, and Nendoroids in general. So come on over to TikTok, follow us and get ready for what we have to share!
Hold Order Cleanup Reminder
Please remember that if you do not have an active hold order membership as of October 7th, and you still have items on hold, you will need to either submit a ship request order to have your items shipped, purchase a membership, or contact us to make arrangements to give you store credit for the value of your items (less the 10% restocking fee), or you will lose the items in your cache with no refunds or store credit issued. IF YOU HAVE A MEMBERSHIP, you don't need to do anything and your cache will be continued; this concern is just for old caches that don't have active memberships and no recent activity.
Back to School Sale
Fall is just around the corner and now's the time for some last minute savings from the Chop Shop! Now through Sunday the 7th at midnight we are doing 25% off all split parts in the entire store!
Back in the shop
We've returned from vacation and are working to catch up on orders currently. Orders will take an extra few days to get out, but we're working on it through the weekend to catch up. Once orders are caught up, we'll be following up on any pending sell offer requests next.
Big Body Blowout and new Affiliate program
Through Tuesday at midnight we are running a buy one get one half off sale for all Nendoroid bodies.
We also just launched our new affiliate program where established social media folks can earn 10%, 15% or as much as 20% of all sales you direct to the Chop Shop using your affiliate link or discount code. This is a great way to interconnect the community and help drive support for the Chop Shop, all while earning yourself a little money as well! Start earning from your very first referral and help grow the Chibi Chop Shop!
