My birthday was over a week ago, but my birthday presents are STILL coming in. My wife has had some health issues lately, so we had to cancel the trip we were going to take to NYC to celebrate my birthday. She felt terrible (even though her health problems weren't her fault) so after a quick trip to Target and Best Buy, I woke up to these on my way to work. I don't collect Funko Pop, but I love the way they did they Guardians of the Galaxy. We just found out yesterday that they're doing the dancing Groot, so I'll be pre-ordering it very soon. Even though I beat the Last of Us on PS3, I'm very excited to play the updated version. Over the past few weeks I've been working on my first customs. I got off work early on my birthday, so I was able to finish a couple of them off. Raven was made from E14 Cena, Pillman arms, and a Jakks head. Lashley was made from E16 Zeke and a Jakks head (still working on the skin tone). Benoit was made with Elite Brian Pillman, E14 Cena arms, and a Jakks head. Samoa Joe was an eBay purchase. Rhyno is a repainted Big E with a Jakks head. Here are the figures I got for my birthday... I got these Elites for myself. Thanks to the members in the classifieds for making my birthday great. It was pretty cool to update my current roster. I used a couple $5 Amazon gift cards I got from Bing and got the Mankind exclusive for about $3. Not too shabby... Finally, here are the final customs I've been working on... Using the BoPPV Miz, I made three Prince Devitt customs. The hair isn't exactly what I would like, but I'm learning how to sculpt right now. I made the Carnage the realized I HAD to make the Venom. Then the Joker. There are a couple other looks I might try (the Amazing/2099 Spider-Man might be my next one). Finally, this is my 5,000th post. I've had an awesome time on these boards and I love the community that's on here. Thanks for giving this a look and I hope you guys have a great week!

Are those GOTG POPs Bobble-Heads, or straight vinyl?

Also, I'm glad I'm not the only one who made custom Devitts with Miz heads

The paint job on the Devitt figures is pretty impressive. Raven looks neat too!
Batista and Mankind are awesome figures btw.
Happy birthday buddy!

Nice! Can we get done more pics of that Joker Devitt? It's nothing mind-blowing, but I'll post a coupe when I get home from work.

Happy Birthday man! The Last of US is amazing on PS4, worth the upgrade imo and such a brilliant game. Love the POPs. I actually just picked up the Rocket Whacky Wobbler. Can't have enough Guardians merch right now if you ask me.

Me neither, but between my long boxes of comics, original art, four bookcases, SideShow statues, and my wrestling figs I don't have TOO much space. lol

Amazing job on Raven, I might have to borrow that formula! How easy is it to swap that ttl head to the Mattel body? Did you have to modify it in any way?
