Hey guys I have not been posting regularly since I had been packing and preparing for a big move into my lovely new condo. I'm still getting situated, but at least I now have an internet connection at my house, so no more driving to McDonald's for free WiFi.  In between unpacking, putting up window treatments and setting my soon to be daughters nursery. I have been doing mad fix-up's that may be considered customs. What I have here though is a fix-up of Don Muraco. I actually did this about 3 weeks ago, but I have not been able to post it until today. Hope you guys like it.    And now a bonus match featuring Muraco. Being led to the ring by the devious Mr. Fuji, He is the World Wrestling Federation Intercontinental Heavyweight Champion, hailing from Sunset Beach Hawaii: "The Magnificent" Don Muraco!!!!  Already in the ring, hailing from Newark New Jersey: Tony Jobberoni  The Rock get's right down to business and delivers a big knee right toJobberoni's chops.  Muraco with a vicious knee drop unto his hapless foe.  Muraco now adding insult to injury by using Jobberoni's face to scrub the mat!!  Muraco sets him up for a big powerslam.    Muraco has just tossed this young through the middle rope and onto the hard wood floor.  Muraco is being admonished by the Ref.  With the Ref distracted, Jobberoni appears to be in no mans land as the devious Mr. Fuji lays a boot right into the kids neck.  Mr Fuji pleads innocence to the ref.  Jobberonni struggling to get back in the ring, but perhaps it was a bad idea.  Muraco is perched on the middle rope and is looking to deliver his patented Asiatic Spike.   Muraco with the cover and that should be all.  Apparently Muraco feels that Jobberoni has not suffered enough as he breaks the pinfall.  Things appear to have gone from bad to worse for Jobberoni as Muraco sets him up for a little facial reconstruction via way of the knee!!  ]  It's time for the Piledriver!     And Muraco adds another victory into the record books.  |

Thanks guys. I have wanted a Muraco like this since I first started collecting Classic Superstars. I received my inspiration from PJ's sig and I added a little twist (the tapped thumb). I love this figure and the era that it represents.

Looks good, but might I suggest fixing were the boots and socks meet. Also if you want stripes on the socks but don't want to paint them take the CS7 Muraco lower legs and paint those boots black and swap the foot for a black one. That's what I did with mine.

Thanks for the tips PJ. Once I find another Muraco I'll be sure to do that. |

Oh you don't still have his body? The CS7 Muraco is one of the most underrated CS figures out there. I really wish they gave us a heel version though.

Brilliant stuff as always June, love the fixup (Big Show hand and all). You really don't like Little Guido, do you?  |

I still have the body, I just want to leave it intact since it is in excellent condition. I want to have both a face and heel version. I agree that the figure is underrated, I just wish he would have been tanned. |

I have nothing against Guido, I just think he is the closest thing to a jobber that I have in my collection. I hope I find another one at the flea market once it opens up for the season. I think Tony Jobberoni and his cousin Vinny would make a hell of a tag team combination. |

I agree that the figure is underrated, I just wish he would have been tanned. That makes sense. I have him as a face (CS7) and 3 custom heels ( black trunks, blue trunks and a DA black trunks)    And tanned would have been nice. |

Yeah, I know, I was just joking, but yeah, all good, I'm sure your team of the Jobberonis would be a lot better than 'Ron and John' -you've probably seen them lurking around this board, courtesy of 'Anvil Fan'. *shudder* |

Oh...I see. My apologies then, even though I've known 'Anvil Fan' for a while (here and on another forum) the Ron and John thing isn't my...erm...thing, I guess, for lack of a better term... Anyway, all the best with the move, and looking forward to another fixup from you in the future! ;D |
