 He's pretty simple, but I pretty much LOVE him. I made a Keiji Mutoh too.  I'll post better pics of him after I get him clearcoated. I want to make a white leather trenchcoat for him, after that I think he'll be totally boss. It really didn't take so much time to make the tights design. I copied it from tights he wore his last IWGP title reign. Enjoy! |

Thanks for all the comments! I really appreciate them!
To answer the one question, the heads are from the mini big heads, but it's not as simple as a regular head swap. Because the MBH's don't have a neck at all and each one is different. So you have to physically cut the toybiz necks in like a curvature depending on what head you're transplanting. For example, with Muta, because of the hair in the back, it had to be cut in a zigzag pattern.
So far I've made the following figures from using mini big heads: Inoki, Tanahashi, Nakamura, Kido, Hase, Omara, Tiger Mask IV, Original Costume Liger, Bockwinkel, Darkness Muta, TARU, and a bunch of others.
Some of them are in the videos I'd posted before. If you don't cut them in that manner, then the heads won't be able to move and/or you get a gap in the neck, which I suppose you could fill with putty or hot glue, or if you don't care about them being able to move. I'm a big stickler for all the joints being able to move and for them being "playable".
Like I always say, I don't consider myself to be a serious customizer, these are just my little attempts at happiness. So thanks for the comments!
BTW I LOVE the Disco Muta comment! Just imagine Disco's theme music with those lyrics DISCO MUTA DISCO MUTA DISCO MUTA YEAH YEAH YEAH!!

Both of these are very well done. Paint jobs look great, head transplants look awesome. You should really post up the rest of your figures, good or bad, we'd love to see them.
