The original Rick Rude release was awesome, Mattel nailed his likeness but it didnt feel Rude enough to me, I never really remember him in yellow. Green, Pink and other colorful costumes but def green, like his CSDA release I wanted a Rude with his wet slicked back hair pre-match... And Thats what I made. This is Paintless below the neck, I re-colored his hair, Moustache and eyebrows. Also No Sculpt Whatsoever. I'd love to paint Tight designs but I prefer a more Mattel Made look and prefer to go paintless as often as I can. The recipe is Jake the Snake tights + Hair Added/Rick Rude Everything else. enjoy. Also Took some Macho Man shots with Rudes Trunks in case anyone was wondering how it would look. .... What I'd like to have right now is for all you fat, out of shape, San Francisco sweathogs to keep the noise down while I take my robe off and show all the ladies what a real man is supposed to look like      -----  |

Looks good. The hair came out great. That macho man would look great for a mega powers era figure.

terrific. so clean
that mattel legends 2 rude really bothered me for a number of reasons
especially that his hair/moustache colors were so washed out.
you're coloring is much much better

I think you got a winner here. Although I love Rude's short-hair more (hey was one of the best WCW US Champs like that), this mullet does take it back to the true 80s.
MDT really REALLY missed the boat on this guy. Rick Rude is one of the few wrestling stars where you can release re-paint after re-paint of him due to the many MANY tights designs he had. All the parts are there, it would have only cost them paint applications.

I'm surprised they never made a slicked-back long hair Rude. That's how I remember his WWF run most, but they generally either go with the short or "big" hair look. Would be cool to see a WCW version with the mustache acetoned off.  |

I WISH they Made a Rude with long hair, Slicked or puffy AFTER they made warrior so they could have Warriors Face on his tights. He has had so many awesome Tight Designs in WWF alone. Im really happy with this though, It looks so much better in person and really brings the display together. Thanks for the comments

Meh! Not your best work bro, but it's alright. I think the hair should have been A LOT thicker if you were going with his long hair look, and if it's just staying plain tights it don't strike me as Rude really. I only watched Rude from like 89-til his death and I remember him briefly with long hair, but most was the short hair look that Mattel nailed. Wouldn't change a thing about it.
Honestly, this would have made a better Magnum T.A custom over your other one. All you had to do here was paint the hair blond and the mustache a little lighter and you would have an awesome T.A sculpt out of this.

Have you ever seen Rude with long hair? Sometimes He would come to the ring with his hair Wet, And it was slicked back and Not puffy.... It would have been A LOT thicker if I was going with the dry puffy hair look he had but if you read what I posted then you would know I wasnt going with that look Honestly, this would have made a better Magnum T.A custom over your other one. All you had to do here was paint the hair blond and the mustache a little lighter and you would have an awesome T.A sculpt out of this. Ok, Remind me not to take your advice on anything ever lol |

Easy big guy. It's only a little honest constructive criticism. I'm not saying it's bad or nothing, just saying the hair could be thicker and that your sculpt really looks a lot like a started Magnum.  so yes i seen Rude for sure. Don't get mad about it. |

That is rude with dry puffy hair. he also slicked his hair back wet which is the version i made. Saying his hair should be thicker just baffles me. If you read what i wrote before the pics you would get it or if u had seen him pre match with slicked back hair.

No i just carved jake the snakes hair off and glued it on and carved it so it looked like it was part of rudes hair. I actually carved a little more since i took these pics. It looks much better now. then paint and done
