I was browsing Ebay out of boredom and looking at figure lots. I found this and it cracked me up. Anyone else ever make or find anything hilarious like this?  |

A former member here named CB88 made an hilariously awful HBK fix up with a giant head and the wrong skin color. Everyone was kind enough not to say a word. But then he threw a tantrum because he didn't get any likes. Found it on page 369... |

lol That HBK, my lord. The fact that he even had the balls to do a side shot, which really shows off how awful the scale is, is pretty funny. I almost missed that horrific slice job on the boot area there. I gotta try and track down his temper tantrum.
I've seen some pretty bad scale/color issues over the years of browsing/selling customs. Someone was once kicking the tires on ordering some figures from me, and it was pretty obvious they were wasting my time. I answered respectfully, and tried to stay patient during the constant emails. It was a real nightmare though, and their shipped offers were a bit below what individual figures cost at retail. Of course I got the whole lecture of how I was crazy to expect more, how nobody spends that much, they were just gonna make the figures themselves, etc etc.
So a few weeks pass, and I get another random email from this person. It's pics of a few customs they made themselves, and most were guys they tried to buy from me. It was pretty damn bad. They hollowed out a ToyBiz Luger head (the first, terrible gorilla looking head his figure got) to fit on an Elite body. But they literally hollowed out the head, without cutting/modding the neck line to resemble a traditional Mattel head. So the neck skin of the ToyBiz head was bulging over the neck plastic on the Mattel body like some sort of disgusting mask.
As if that wasn't bad enough, I just about lost it when I saw their Perry Saturn. They must have gotten sloppy when repainting the head, and had to redo the eyes. So they put two single, totally centered, massive drops of black paint for the eyes. The combination of rough painting skills, and poorly fitted head, resulted in a Saturn that looked like he was trying SO damn hard to keep his lazy eye straight.
They even had the nerve to list the total cost of parts at the end of the email. Like "f*ck you dude, look what I created for less!" I really wish I had saved the pics to share.

When I was a nipper, TTL era, if I had doubles of a wrestler, I'd do headswaps to make 'new guys'
Anyway, about a year ago I took my box of like 80 figures to a guy on the market and traded them in without checking them out
The guy now has an X Pac with a Stone Cold head, and a Triple H with a Big Show head sat on his shelf waiting for a buyer

I never really believed in having useless figures, and did everything I could to keep finding uses for them as they got updated and so forth. When BCA moved on to TTL, my BCA guys basically became the CW division. I know at one point I had a Taker BCA head on the body of a Rock figure that came in some belt set to create a horrible looking Sabu. As if the skin tone difference wasn't enough, I even heated a wire and burnt a bunch of marks onto the figure to try and create "scars". Of course I was a stupid ass little kid, so I over did it all, and he essentially had 30+ gaping lacerations across his body. |

He claimed everyone only hated it because it was a Jakks head. And that we all have some Jakks bias. |

Actually if you put that HBK custom next to BATB Sting it would look perfectly fine.  |
