Gonna be uploading the pics of my nearly finished Elite Nakamura accessories as I make 'em, but in the meantime I'm looking forward to other possibilities as well. These include the recent 'enhancement talent' poll winner (The Yeti) and other miscellaneous customs. To date I have worked on:
Elite WK9 Shinsuke Nakamura
Mighty Mini AJ Styles
Elite Yet-ay/Yeti
Future projects include a local indies project based on Oregon's West Coast Wrestling Connection. Stay tuned for details!

You know, I don't believe that Mattel has produced a figure of Test as yet. As a jobber, and a fairly basic attire, I would think the head would be the hardest part of things. And I still like his entrance theme... "Test...this is a test...test test this is a test.."

Thanks for the suggestions, garbagemon and carlyrsmith! I appreciate your feedback and those will be included in the poll. I'm also gonna add another option for the 'what do people want to see?' - the man, the myth, the legend that is Barry Horowitz.
Dark Images, thanks for the compliment, it's greatly appreciated!

For fake diesel just take a head of a figure and just put it on the elite diesel that would be the easiest to make

Another thing coming down the turnpike: possible alternate 'what if' ring gear on a Basic Bayley fig inspired by Bullet/Balor Club. Not sure if 'what ifs' are a thing anyone's done but the idea came to mind this week when I was sorting through my collection and parts.

Update: The base figure itself is done for my WK9 Elite Shinsuke Nakamura! I'm now working on converting an Undertaker leather coat into Nakamura's entrance jacket and figuring out how to make his cape and crown to complete the figure.   As far as the 'enhancement talent'/obscure 'stars' poll goes we've got kind of a runaway winner so far, though who knows how he could run when he's.. well.. the Yet-ay. Even if someone overtakes him I do have the materials to make that monstrosity, so you can stay tuned to this thread for that. |

My vote is for Barry Horowitz and Repo Man, although The Yeti would be cool to see too.

With the 4th of July come and gone, the 'Enhancement Talent' poll is finished and your winner is.. the YET-AY! I have the figure and materials necessary to create that monstrosity, so updates will be forthcoming once I get it started. In the meantime, here's a little project I embarked on last night. Our local Target has a ton of 'Mighty Mini's' (misused apostrophe theirs, not mine) in stock, so I got a couple to see what happens when you combine pieces. After putting together the torso and head of Daniel Bryan with the legs and arms of Undertaker something was taking shape.. and that led to my attempt here to create a phenomenal Mighty Mini.. er.. a Mini of AJ Styles. Some basic painting has been done and while I have more to do on him he's looking somewhat promising so far.   A new coat on the kickpads is gonna be needed to clean him up. Somehow a bit of the blue paint ended up on his hair and that's since been touched up with brown paint. I will be getting some new white paint for accents since my old jar was unopenable (if that's a word). |

Also the Jakks Micro aggression figure heads fit on the Mighty Minis bodies so you can swap their heads too

Excellent job, my stores have a whole bunch of those too Thanks! I have the pieces, I think, to make Gallows & Anderson to go with him. For the moment however I just have a complete (or nearly complete) AJ Styles in Royal Rumble 2016 gear as a Mighty Mini standing atop a stack of post-its:   |

A couple of customs in production at the moment, including the poll-winning Elite Yeti:  |

Quick update - Slow progress on the Yeti as I'm attempting to point the joints I can't mummify for the sake of articulation preservation. Pics when I've gotten far enough to show the improvements.
I'm also planning to do a few customs of Oregon's local indy promotion, West Coast Wrestling Connection. Not sure that anyone will recognize the names and faces of those guys, but I thought it'd be cool to show some support for the local outfit.
