Hello all! Happy new year to everyone. I’ve been very busy and not around or online as much as I’d like but I wanted to showcase my last custom (for awhile anyway) Life duties and lack of guys that I can’t jut live without collection wise is going to have me focusing on other things for the foreseeable future though I will always lurk around to check out the amazing work on the board. For my last custom, I had to do the final major hole in my collection. In my opinion second only to Hulk Hogan (and maybe Flair and Hart) in terms of wrestling importance, there were so many versions of one of my childhood favorites to choose from, but I decided to focus on my favorite macho era, heel IC champ Macho Man. Thanks to Ralph’s amazing Macho robe and headband, it really makes the custom. This one was a lot of work. The body is from fellow Randy, Randy Orton, The head is from Tank abbot (I felt the lines of his face an the structure looked most like Savage), with the cheeks withered down, the mouth and beard area 100% resculpted and the hair 100% resculpted. The glasses come from Koko B Ware. Thanks as always for taking a look and I hope it can inspire some great customs from you all. Thanks all, take care and we will see you around the boards in the new year!         |

Wow, Great custom dude. It's amazing. Looking at the picture of the head, and your head scan, I can't tell a diff. It looks great. The Ralph clothes in a nice touch, but even the body tone, is just amazing. Lovin it man. Better then the ADA Head IMO. 10/10.

AMAZING! No offense to anyone else but that is hands down the best Savage custom I personally have ever seen. Great sculpting job for the head it looks dead on.
Phenomenal detail all around. Bravo my friend!

That is absultely Amazing,a very very nice Randy custom indeed. The tank head really works, and with the beard has a very good resemblance to him in real life.
Your detail is great aswell....

Dude, that has to be the best Macho Man custom to ever grace the pages of this site. Very cool. That head is dead on. You can tell you put a hell of a lot of work into it...it shows! Great likeness. I also really love that it's a DA fig...we need more custom DAs on the board. Again, incredible work...your work is greatly appreciated.

Ohh YEEAAHH!!! Great job. The likeness and overall attention to detail is amazing. It's hard to make a Macho Man custom stand out after we've seen so many attempts, but this one definitely gets the job done.

This IMO is your best work. I love the hair sculpt. It looks very good and makes it stand out. I would have never believed it was a Tank Abbott Scan unless I heard it from you. The one thing I don't like is the Beard. It looks a lil too flat or 2 dimensional. But it does not break the custom thats for sure. The glasses make for nice accessories. Nice job on getting Ralph's gear to go with it it only ups the authenticity of the custom. I like the paint on the trunks the green is real smooth. Not sure if you used decals for the lettering but if you did I cant tell... Overall this is a great custom and is by far your best work. Good way to go out for now atleast....

Best Savage I have seen. The detail is amazing. You captured the puffy (frizzy hair), the intensity of his glare, and I love the decision to use green when he is so often envisioned in other colors like pink and orange. Great job.

Wow. That is fantastic work. I can't even tell that it used to be that worthless Tank Abbott head. It is also 100% better than that half a** Ada sculpt. (I don't care what anyone says that thing looks nothing like Savage. I looks more like Lanny than Randy.)
Anyway thanks for showing us this figure. It is excellent work.

Well you beat me to it...I traded for a Tank a couple of months ago for this very reason. I am so glad to see that it works so well. So I'll defiinitely use it as soon as I get done with my other 15 customs I started and never finished. LOL
Great work! It looks awesome.
