So uhh Kimbo is not a STREET FIGHTING LEGEND? His youtube status is legendary its how he got famous. I didn't read the other comments before I voted. I still think that's a bit of a shaky categorization... you could've done Chris Crocker by that standard! But that's fine, I said I judged on the customs anyways and Save Us' still wins. |

Oh I know your vote still stands I just wanted to clarify that and I knew it would be shaky. Just wanted to make sure people knew. Thanks anyways for the kind words though... |

Tex- I don't know enough about either one of these guys so I had to google the pics. Austin looks very clean. The tattoos look good and his "love trail" looks to be well done (i hope that sounds ok). Good paint work.
Fulgore- I don't think that the blood is really terrible. Try mixing your blood recipe with some brush on sealer or better yet Future brand floor wax(or generic if you can find it). It's acrylic and it'll give it a flow. I like the pants. The vivid color stands out.
Winner~ Tex

Dream- It's hard to judge this one because of the pics. I wanna like it but it's the same figure that's been done 100x. From what I can tell the beard looks good and the paint looks clean.
SaveUs- You look like you're improving. The paint is getting MUCH better. The lines look good and tight. The mask could use some flare to the sides. The yellow laces on the boots impresses me the most. It's not easy to paint yellow over black.
Winner~ SaveUs

M2K - Great figure. The skin is killer and the lettering is out of the park. Another pro.
Irish - I'm gonna go against the grain and say that I like this figure. The ears are a little on the big side but otherwise it's "there". I'm gonna go a little further here because of the complete head sculpt.
People will never realize how difficult it is to sculpt at this scale. It's beyond and art form and getting a likeness can be next to impossible if you don't know facial anatomy. I know that you bodybuild/extreme lift, and I can see it in your figures because of your attention to detail when it comes to the"form" in your work.
Great work by both
Winner~ Irish

Damn my pictures are effing me over. Didnt have the propper lighting to get them the way I wanted. Oh well nothing I can do now. Thanks for the kind words to the judges who voted so far. All I can say is im going to come back my next match better than ever lose or retain my title...

Sandy, Wars, and Titan have all been asked to judge. I will go ahead and judge as well.
Texacide vs Fulgore
Tex - The parts choice looks well chosen. The cleanliness of this figure is outstanding. Paint job looks very factory. Tat work looks to be well done and the head choice works.
Fulgore - Overall this is a decent figure. The gloves/wrist tape and the arm bands look like they were just slapped on. Very uneven and sloppy looking. I think the blood does not help the figure at all either, really just makes me laugh. Good job overall.
Winner - Texacide
Dream vs Saveus
Dream - By far not your best work. Looks like you regressed in your abilities on this one. As well you really need to get to figure out that camera. It's not so much a lighting thing(although it is dark), but a blurriness issue. Overall the figure is very clean. The shorts came out very well, looks to be a transposed knee and lower leg onto a sabu type upper. Good job with that. The face looks great, beard is sculpted very well. I do not like the du-rag though. Looks a bit too thick for a du-rag. As for the shirt, I'm really not sure what you were doing with the straps of the shirt. I understand that is a wife beater shirt, but should have a bit more uniformity to it. When doing a shirt like that or a singlet, look at how it actually sits on them, and then trace you out some lines on the body and see how it looks. If it doesn't look right, don't keep it that way. I can barely see some tat work done, which is good, many forget his tats.
Saveus - Your pictures seem a bit blurry too. This figure is definitely not your best either. When I look at this figure I see one of the tiger mask esque characters from the old Nintendo wrestling games. It's like you can see who it is, but the details and what not are blurred. The mask is hard to capture, but to me doesn't look very well done. Your paint job looks well done for the most part. The lines are a little rough, and I can see some areas where you didn't get enough coats of paint in.
Winner: This was a hard one for me, and really I would call this a draw as neither figure really stands out to me. Since there can not be a draw, I will give the match to Dream only on the cleanliness factor.
M2K vs Irish Rebel
M2K - The head looks really good, not exactly like him, but works. Hair should be a bit thicker I think, but over all it captures him. The skin tone and shading looks excellent. The logo work is very well done, though I see some shakiness in places which is off from your normal work. Very clean and very smooth looking. My only real complaint is that the skintone looks a bit too dark to me.
Irish - The Full Head Sculpt for Tito looks good. It looks a bit cartoony, but I do see the Tito in it. Camo looks fantastic, as well the logos look great. Overall very clean and very smooth.
Winner - IrishRebel, his figure just seemed to stand out to me more.

Texacide vs. Fulgore
Texacide- Very clean factory made looking figure. It looks fairly simple. But it also looks like it could be sold in stores..so that is a very good thing. I love the tattoo and how you painted the hair on his torso.
Fulgore- The cuts look terribly fake. The wristbands and the armbands look sloppy. The tattoo is decent but too dark. I don't like the head choice at all. I think it is a decent figure and I love when people make customs "post match" with blood covering the wrestler, but you didn't execute it very well.
Winner: Texacide
Dream vs. Saveus
Let me start off by saying that for title matches I PERSONALLY think that no matter what the stip is, both customizers should have to make the same wrestler. I still think it is beyond ridiculous on judging a match of two different wrestlers and picking a winner.
Dream- I like this figure. Your pictures still suck..horribly. But the overall execution of Kimbo Slice is there. This is one of the better Kimbo's that I have seen. I like the skintone, the beard, the body choice, and the head choice. I don't like the wifebeater though. The top straps look a little too....I don't know the word...just not right. But I'm not going to talk sh** on your figure for one mistake. You need to work on making things symmetrical.
Saveus- You have improved by leaps and bounds. But this is a faily simple custom. The mask looks pretty good.
Like I said again I think both of you should have another match but do the same wrestler.
Winner: Dream
Bartman vs. Nobody
Bartman- I am not sure of this "rust" you keep talking about..but this looks fantastic. I think the tights are a little shaky but everything else looks great. Nice mods to the torso, great paintjob to the face..it looks extremely lifelike.
M2K vs. Irish Rebel
M2K- Great job on the Koscheck. I know you have little to know idea who the guy is...but you captured his look perfectly. The logos on the shorts look unbelievable.
Irishrebel- Probably the most talented customizer on this board and at the same time the most underrated. I really like the Tito Ortiz. It is so damn hard to do a full head sculpt..especially trying to make it to scale to a JAKKS figure. I think the head definitely shows resemblance..but the one thing I would change would be the ears. You did probably my least favorite of Tito's PPV attires but you painted it very well.
Winner: Irishrebel
