Can we see a closeup of the Missing Link? Sure. I'll take a closer pic and post it. It might be a little while, though. I've got contractors doing some work in my house and I'm trying to get some stuff sorted out.

All around that is a really sweet collection. Very nicely displayed and thought out. Love the customs. I really like the fine detail like the custom painted tag belts. Those look great.
Nice work man.

Here's the requested close-up of the Missing Link. I've been trying to find something to use for furry boot covers before I break down and add them to my next order from Ralph's.

Thanks. He looks very cool. But have you thought about giving him that ripped torso? Unless I'm mistaken I vaguely remember him being ripped.

Thats an awesome collection, and its very odd to see someone with a figure collection that doesn't include... well... 'stereotypical' figures such as Cena, CM Punk, RVD, Kane and Taker

Yeah, the Link was pretty ripped, especially for back then, but I think this torso does a fair job of capturing his build. He's probably somewhere between this one and the super-ripped one. Probably the torso that comes with Luger would be the best representation, but I hate that one because the anatomy seems so off.

Yeah, I'm not that big of a fan of the HW torso either.

Because i grew up in "Crockett country," I was just more of a fan of that style of wrestling and wrestling character. Honestly, it seems kind of weird to me that people love Vince's wrestling character type (you know, wrestling cop, wrestling tax man, wrestling dead guy) formula so much. NWA was just a bunch of charismatic tough guys who wanted to beat each other up, with the occasional foreign heel or painted-up wild man thrown in. But I loved the Hogan era just like everyone else -- it was fun, even though it seemed like a completely different thing than the wrestling I watched most. As for modern guys, like many old school fans, I just don't really like it as much. My son loves it, so I've got tons of Rey Mysterio and Cena (his favorites), as well as Kane, Taker, Orton, etc. all over my house. Since I just display my figures, I actually end up playing with the typical guys more when I play with him. He's got his own old school guys, too, though (Horsemen, Dusty, Hogan, even a custom Magnum). You gotta know your history.

That is an excellent collection. You've got some great customs too. Thanks for the pics. It looks like you've got all grounds covered. I love seeing collection pictures from people who are truly passionate about collecting...and collecting figures of the guys the loved watching.
You gotta give it to Jakks on this one thing....they certainly have given us enough figures to be able to make our own. Think about what it would be like if Jakks only put out 3-5 series' per year. Even though we get cheaped out figures, and wrong bios, bad part choices and wrong attires...you can't complain about the variety

I hate how the classics line has gone to hell, but I understand that financial pressures (bad market, losing the WWE license) means that the bean counters have probably giving the production guys a very tight budget to get the remaining figures out the door. As for passion, I agree. Its great to see people that seem to have a real connection to their collection. I think it was your post about the gift of a skribble custom CM Punk (with the heart/ribs t-shirt) -- I remember thinking what a great gift that was, and how you were genuinely thrilled. I feel the same way about my favorites -- I'll keep making Stings, Flairs, Magnums, and Dustys as long as I keep getting parts and ideas.

That is a beautiful collection you have! Some of those fix-up figures are great (ex. LOD)
