We've seen a lot of great custom figures over the years. Many of which we thought we'd never see from Mattel. A few years ago, there were many custom Flairs, Hogans, Stings, and Balors. All guys that seemed like they'd never end up in WWE again (or ever), and now we have multiple figures of all of them.
After the great reveals from SDCC, we have more wrestlers coming our way that could only have been in our collection if we customized them. Beefcake, AJ, and Nakamura, just to name a few.
So, what custom figures have you ended up replacing once Mattel has made them? I understand that some custom figures will always be in our collections because we prefer them, or like them as much as a Mattel. But which did you end up replacing?
For me, I replaced my custom Barry Windham when he finally came out in the Horseman pack. I like the Jakks head for him, but it was just too huge.
And now it looks like I'll be replacing the Boogeyman. That Mattel prototype render looks great, and I can't wait to get him.
How about you?

None. IMO, nothing replaces factory made figures, as good as the customs look. Customs might get added to the collection but never replaces Mattel's.
NVM. Its the other way around I guess. I'd say mine will be Jeff Hardy when one eventually comes out.

I'm also hoping one day to replace my Freebirds. I'm sure it's a long shot, but maybe a Network Spotlight three pack? |

I only buy customs I know we won't ever get. Jeff Jarrett, Owen guys like that. Eventually I think we will get most guys we want at some point.

I'd say mine will be Jeff Hardy when one eventually comes out. they're going to make so much money off of Jeff Hardy figures when he finally comes back or signs a merch deal. No matter how much he messes up or stumbles he will always have a cult like following. Crazy Charisma. I can't wait. |

All my customs are of older wrestlers. Angle, Ventura, Chyna are the first ones to come to mind. I have custom designs of Blue Blood Hemsley - that I doubt I'll replace w/ the new one. And BA Billy Gunn in orange that I used the original as a base.

I will never understand why people rip apart their figures when the star they are making is bound to come out...
