Wow bro, yet again simply amazing work Going back to the other page... Crush is absolutely perfect. From the attire to the sideburns. FoF & both Jimmy Harts look great Loving the Hulk Hogan & Jeff Hardy That Christian is honestly the single best Christian figure I have ever seen. The graphic is perfect, the attire is excellent and that Jakks headscan is awesome. Nice to see a head for Borga other than the original Finlay scan. Sheamus looks great too, nice sculpting work. I always am ultra-impressed with your work. Thanks for the comments Chip. You are always very thorough in your reviews, which is nice. It gets old seeing "awesome," and "9/10." Check your messages, I PMed you. |

New Customs (2/17/10): Iraqi Sgt. Slaughter- This is the figure I always wanted. This was made from an abundance of spare parts (some obtained from the classifieds). HE IS AVAILABLE, PM ME!!!!   123 Kid- This figure represents 123 Kid's early career (following his big "push" squash over Razor Ramon). This figure is for an order. The decals were a BEYOTCH to make! |

Your 1-2-3 Kid is awesome man, that attire should have been the regular release IMO.

LOVING the Kid! Man... I can only imagine how difficult it was to make those little decals. But they came out perfect! I'm sure Willy Wonka is going to love it!
Sarge looks great too! Love the choice of torso. During those days his gut was pretty big.. The part choices and accessories are awesome! Oh and thanks for the flag link! I am going to order a few flag!
One more thing... YOU NEED TO ADD SHEIKY BABY!!

Wow bro, again a Home Run I always wished Jakks released a Sarge like that. You nailed it even painting the logos on the boots!  Great idea using the larger torso as well, Sarge was never really a "body builder" lol Kid is great, I remember that outfit vividly. I can imagine how hard those decals must have been to apply. It all looks clean though for sure. |

Thank you for the comments, gentlemen.
I definitely wanted to go for an accurate Slaughter body-type. I have no recollection of Sarge being thin and muscular (except on the Gi Joe cartoons).
Yes, Warheart, Wonka is very happy with his 123 Kid. It only took me forever to actually make it for him.

Outstanding job on Halme, head choice works quite well, what is it? Also looks like it'd work perfectly for a Mirko Cro Cop.
Hayabusa looks splendid, though is missing his waist sash and arm bands look too plain(Maybe it was like that in the ref pic you were going for, and that's fine)
Sheamus is very well done, prob one of the best head choices and hair sculpting for him. Great job, keep em coming.

Great job, keep em coming. Thanks Gonzo- The Ludvig is a Basham head. I made one about 5 years ago with that head, and thought it was worth attempting again. I think the Hayabusa looks like dog feces, personally. I had three snow days in a row (last week), and started customizing from my parts bin. The attire is based off his NJPW figure. I thought I'd have a go at Sheamus also. He's the new Ebay pop-icon. Thanks for the comments. |

Finally a heel Slaughter done correctly. One of my biggest problem with all of Jakks' Slaughter releases is the the overly muscular frames. Slaughter never had a very big chest so even this torso is a little thick upstairs for him, but it's by far the best choice for him. It's a beauty.
Also love the Borga. Never was a huge fan of his work, and feel like his modern day appeal is based entirely on the fact that he was made in Hasbro form and people want to recreate the diversity that Hasbro had as a line. That all being said, you did amazing work on him. the only thing I would have done slightly different was to square off his flat-top a tiny bit more. Otherwise it's perfect.

The average, modern-day wrestling fan has little recollection of Ludvig Borga. He was only in the WWE for such a brief period. You're exactly correct... his popularity is due to his Hasbro figure. I definitely dislike the "Slaughter torso" also. When was Sarge's chest so muscular, and waist so trim? Thanks for the comments Phunk... |

Your 1-2-3 Kid is awesome man, that attire should have been the regular release IMO. I agree, that's the attire I always wanted too. The attire we got wasn't bad though. I love them both, but, you painted the strap, so why not paint some details on the Winged Eagle plates? It's still great either way, but that would add so much to the figure! |

I considered painting details on the plates, but decided to leave them as close to Jakks' releases as possible. Thank you for the reply bro. |

The 1-2-3 Kid is pure greatness. Just awesome detail, and I would love to own one myself.
As far as Slaughter goes - awesome as well. I myself am JAKKS 4 Life, but - I feel they let us down when making the heel Iraqi Slaughter fig. Could have had so much more detail and time spent on it.
