nice stuff guys everyone's figures look good.
Crazywrestler's Hernandez
i like the head and body choice i think they work well for Hernandez, the only gripe i have is the skin tone should be more "Mexican", i suggest adding a bit of green to the skin tone paint it'll make it more Spanish looking and the tattoos need to be painted.the socks/boots need to be cleaned up a bit.
WEZ's Mideon
to be honest i havnt seen many mideon's but this looks really cool!
i cant tell how well you did the tattoos because the photos are too small, but from what i can tell it looks nice. the only gripe i have is the front of the shirt looks a bit chunky.
Gonzo's Barry Windham
im not sure what you did to the figure but it looks nice, almost factory like.only thing i can think of that needs work is the line were his trunks start on his stomach, needs to be cleaned up a bit
Maskedsuperstarfan's Atsushi Onita
i am not familiar with this guy, but overall it looks good. i think that a funaki head would have been a better choice for him instead of the masato tanaka head. but i appreciate the work done. the body didnt have much done other than some part switches
Skunk's Madison Rayne
not sure what you did to the figure, not familiar with it. but the paint looks very nice.
ChristianEdge's Kevin Steen
over all it looks nice, but kevin steen is a lot bigger than this. the head needs to be modded more and the body needs to be fatter, the body works for him but its simply too small. the painting looks nice tho.

WEZ's Mideonto be honest i havnt seen many mideon's but this looks really cool! i cant tell how well you did the tattoos because the photos are too small, but from what i can tell it looks nice. the only gripe i have is the front of the shirt looks a bit chunky. Thanks, it's my first ever custom. For the tattoos I managed to find decent reference material for most of the them but did have to improvise a little. What did you mean by the shirt looks chunky, the paint? Full size pics here: s161.photobucket.com/user/666wez666/library/Customs?page=1 |

I like the head choice for hernandez. The skin could use a little more brown. The thing that bothers me most about it is that the hands arent painted.
Mideon looks good. I think you could have painted in thinner layers, but for a first its really nice.
Wyndham looks nice, just needs little cleaning up.
Onita could have ladrger eye balls and even brows, but nice head work. Is the only thing painted on the custom the head?
Madison looks great. Definitely want your painting skills skunk! Sleek as usual.

I thought about re-doing the eyes, but not to sound racist, I kind of liked how the smaller pupils gave him a distinct "asian" look so I kept it as is. Yes, the head was the only thing that was really modified, and quite a bit went into it, although I don't really have pics to show that. Matching a skin tone was a real pain in the ass, too. The rest is considered more of a fix-up, I suppose. He does look cool standing beside my other Japanese "garbage" wrestlers (Matsunaga, Super Leather, Terry Funk, Cactus Jack, etc.), so I'm pretty pleased with how he turned out. |

Thanks everyone for the comments (and criticisms). There’s not much I can say about everyone’s entry that hasn’t already been said, but here are a few comments of my own anyway:
Crazywrestler’s Hernandez - The skin tones do seem a little off, especially with the hands not being painted at all. I don’t really follow Mattel’s product so I’m not sure who was used, but it looks to be a really good likeness regardless.
WEZ's Mideon - For a first custom, it does look pretty good. The “chunky paint” issue has already been discussed so I won’t harp on it. I’m also a fan of your character choice as I personally enjoyed the Corporate Ministry back in the day. Thank goodness you chose him instead of “Naked Mideon” -Lol!
Gonzo's Barry Windham - Seeing the before and after “WIP" pics shows just how much effort you put into this and it really paid off. From the re-sculpting to the full repaint, just an excellent job overall. I’ve enjoyed all of the Galoob customs that have popped up here recently and yours is no exception. Great job.
Maskedsuperstarfan's Atsushi Onita - I won’t bother commenting on my own entry.
Skunk's Madison Rayne - To echo TAVG’s comments, I’m not sure what all was done as I barely remember what the original figure looked like. The paint job however, is tremendous as always and makes for a spectacular figure.
ChristianEdge's Kevin Steen - Excellent use of a Cena head, and I enjoy seeing “WIP” pics when any type of resculpting or modifying is done. The only drawback is that Steen is a big, chunky dude and the figure really doesn’t reflect that.
Despite the usual, small turnout, I really like how different styles of figures were still showcased (Mattel, Jakks, and Galoob). I just wish more people had submitted an entry - hopefully these Custom Showcases will continue.

@tavg, @msf This was the original figure. I made this Madison to match Velvet Sky and Lacey Von Erich in their Beautiful People attires.  |
