Going to try to resurrect the old Build N Brawl thread and try to post some pics. I'm sure there are a few more people out there like me that are still stuck on the 3.75" line.
I will re-post my request for figures and parts in the classified when I hit 50 posts. Still willing to take offers until then!

The original TNA title before Hardys, in my opinion was one of the best wrestling titles ever made. Now this new one looks like cheap plastic and bedazzled. Oh god yes. Why they didn't just go back to that after Hardys terrible looking belt completely baffles me. And who can tell me why they would let Eric Young run around and diminish the value of the old belt is beyond me. No going back now!

He looks more bad ass then when he went through his "biker taker" look that's for sure!

Sounds awesome, I'd have to classify myself as a cruiser wieght though. I would be very interested in seeing what the heavyweights roll out!

Thanks man, I think they were well worth the time and effort. It's a shame they only put out 1 belt for this entire line.
I'm very interested to see how your Dudley Boyz come out and what pieces you will use! I have a Kevin Nash and a few Sting figures already done up, will have to take a few pics to show you.
As soon as I am able to get some more pieces together I can continue working on more figures. As soon as I get enough posts I will start to post in the classified looking for more BnB figures and parts. Good luck!

Going to try to revive a dead thread here, anyone still working on or collecting build n brawl customs?
I have found a pretty cool way to create some championship belts for your build n brawl collection using the old Toybiz line from the NWA/TNA era. By trimming a little off the bottom and altering the top I think it looks pretty close to the old version of the IC title. The X division title has been filed around the edges to make it fit better with the 3.75" line. This was my first crack at this and think they came out ok for being home made!
Anyone else out there still working on custom BnB figures?

Ebay is always a gamble, I have seen some go for as much as $100, and some go for less than $20!

It would be nice if they brought in both Bernard and Anderson, they have been by far the most dominating tag team over the past 2 years!
I still dream of the 80's and golden age of tag teams!

I agree, they should have turned Natalya face and set up a match between her and Beth. The WWE has never appreciated true talent in it's womens division!

You are right, buy on get one 50% off all WWE, GI Joe, Star Wars and Marvel Universe. I will be hitting all TRU stores within 50miles!
I was also lucky enough to snag a 5$ coupon ($5 off when you spend $25) from the paper a few weeks ago, you might still be able to find it online and print it out!

I can't wait for the Zombie Apocalypse, bring on the walking dead!
If anyone really loves the show you have to read the graphic novels, so much more in depth! As soon as I finished I turned right back to page 1 and started again, what a great story!

It would be closer to the Build n Brawl line, or the UFC "Bring it on" line. I was hopeful that since Jakks & TNA have teamed up they might decide to put out a few figure to test the waters.

Man, even though it was close to home WM XI gets my vote.
Bret Hart vs Stone Cold gets my vote for my favorite Wrestlemania match of all time though!

I thought Jakks was one of the worst repaint offenders. It was almost like they gave up at the end and just repainted what they had leftover.

I am just realizing that this is the perfect forum to ask: has anyone heard of any plans for TNA & Jakks to run a line of 3.75" figures?

It would be great if they could pick up where the Build n brawl line left off, but I agree they don't need to add all the extra's that don't really work with the line. They should focus on releasing some title belts for the smaller lines and keep working on the quality and articulation.

My bad, newbie mistake! Is there any spot on here dedicated to the 3.75" scale?
