Who is "sunka?" You wrote it three times, so I don't THINK it's a typo. Did you mean Snuka?

Sunka = Lost lost brother of Snuka.. He is nowhere near the athlete of Snuka, but a much better cook.

I gotta add "Superflea" Johnny Sunka to my wishlist. ;D
For real though, I'd just wait for a barefoot Snuka from Mattel.

is it possible that you could switck the feet on snuka and erich? that way we would have a better snuka? maybe add some darker paint to the feet? That would probably work. You could probably just do a dark wash and it would make the skin tone closer to Snuka's. Tough to say without having them in hand, though. To be honest, the Snuka figure is kind of a mess. So let's hope they just make a proper Snuka, complete with a new head sculpt sooner than later. |

Excuse me! Excuuuuuseee meeee!
Can we be serious for a moment?
Let's put aside that the proto pic for Kevin Von Erich shows a much lighter skintone (since he is a white guy) compared to Snuka's skin tone. But switching the feet isn't as simple as popping off parts at the calves/boots articulation point. If we keep Snuka's trunks (because it is orange with tiger stripes like he's known for), you'd have to switch out the upper and lower thigh portions and knees for a pants-less look - no easy task.

agreed, that snuka figure is lame . i dont know why people are rushing into customs of people mattel will make anyhow... customs cost a lot more and 90% of the time dont look as good as what mattel will make...

Two things about this i dont agree with (and might open your eyes to why we like to make customs): -people (well at least I) just like to make customs. Its a hobby. I know they are coming out with Bret Hart, but that doesn't stop me from making him. - also, my customs USUALLY (can't say never) don't cost more. I'll use an extra head i have sitting around (free) and only buy items on sale/clearance that I plan on using for customs (recently I bought a few legends for $7.49 at factory 2 u). |
