It's disheartening to think that someone has been a member of this forum for over 3 years, yet never ran into Tommy's work. Who ever decided to kill the Custom board by putting the "fix up" thread in the Mattel section, CONGRATULATIONS. You succeeded in making sure new fans don't come across Hasbro customs. Be proud! You guys won! I think it's funny that you, The PREMIERE Hasbro guy had to make sure that we knew that you yourself didn't buy one of these, but were rather GIFTED the figure. Once more, I think that the first person to respond is under the impression you "jumped on the bandwagon" with these MATTEL retros and only made the arena because of them! Anyways, since I'm too lazy to look at your archive, which Hasbro body do you prefer for Austin? Thank you very very much, i highly appreciate the kind words! Razor's body would be too obvious for a Hasbro Austin, already seen it way too often. I might would have used a Macho Man #2 with additional abs, if i had to chose an existing one, maybe Million Dollar Man #3 with different arms. Thanks all of you for the replies so far, not many people are checking the custom section for hasbros, here's the thread for the arena anyway: forum.wrestlingfigs.com/thread/338999/hasbro-raw-war-1999-arena

Where'd you get the crowd? Thank you guys! I've drawn it myself and colored it digitally. I am a Hasbro Customizer and built my own arena for better pics, so i made an original set-up to display my stuff. Here's the thing in action:

I always wanted to know how many hasbros were produced in total, it must be a massive amount of batches. Great question. Hasbro must have the numbers. I wonder if someone could just email them and ask? Edit: I just went to Hasbro's site and submitted the question. Hopefully I get a response. If so, I'll report back. Thanks for asking them, they can still be found for fair prices everywhere, and i guess they were pretty cheap to produce in the 90s.

I wonder if instead of adding mineral spirits to the mold, we can add mineral spirits to the head and have that shrink instead. I have some Flex 30 from Alumilite but who knows if that's compatible with this. That won't work at all.

You can easily shrink a head by adding odorless mineral spirits to the silicone. The spirits fade away in 3-5 days causing the mold to shrink. I've done it many times and you don't even have to buy a whole new product. Wait. So basically just cast the head and mix in some spirits into the solution? That's right, i've found a video of it:

This is some really amazing stuff. How many customs have you made? Thank you very much, I've made around 300 customs in my first years and around 60-70 since 2013. My first 100 customs were pretty sloppy, i improved very slowly due to the lack of knowledge and patience. The last 100 very pretty nice but i lost the interest in customizing in 2006 and got back to it in 2013. I wanted to put more time into every custom and i always push myself to new standarts. I'm now on a 2-3 month hiatus again, because I'm moving to Hamburg, GE. I can't wait to get back at it, I'm really loving this crap.
