Wow! Both of those look great. Brock is just top notch and Faber looks good. The detail as well as decal placement is just awesome. Great work..

wow.
anyways. I like them. When I first saw the Brock head I was kind of iffy on it. But then I saw the whole figure and the head actually fits the body. The mouth, eyes, forehead, and hair look excellent. The nose really bugs me though. I think it is a bit too big. The ears look good too. The decals are applied very well. It looks legit. The packaging is a nice touch.
Urijah looks pretty good. I would make the chin a little more pointed with the butt of the chin more prominent.. Skintone, the body, and the parts choices are amazing. The abs are a bit too sharp for me..the stubble should be more subtle...and the feet aren't very good. But I'm known for having HORRIBLE feet sculpts so I have no room to criticize.. The shorts look really good. They look better than the shorts JAKKS has been putting out.
Overall great stuff. Good to see you back.
...whatever happened to your Vampiro?

I'm very impressed with both. Brock has got to be one of the best R5 customs I've ever seen.
Very good work!

Wow man! I honestly think these are amazingly awesome! Very well done man! My only two real complaints are that:
A.) Lesnar just looks a little bit too old for my liking. I do not understand why I think that; but it just seems that way to me.
B.) Faber's face just seems a little too flabby in the nose, cheeks and feet.
Overall though man, these are fabulous! I think you've done a great job with these! ;D

the right eye on brock looks odd
and the right eye on faber along with his cheeks look odd
they are full face/head sculpts so ill let you slide,because they are pretty damned hard to do
besdes those couple of flaws that i pointed out the look as good as the rest of you work, keep it up

Thanks again Guster! Ill be sending the money asap and I cant wait for these! I love them both. The packaging is awesome and Brock is perfect. The only complaint on Faber is the face still has a few minor problems but its all good!

Finally! I remember you showing me these protos like 6 months ago, haha.
Brock looks downright amazing. As Pdw said, best R5 Custom I've seen(Mine being the only other one that I know of). I like the use of the decals and the packaging, it really made this figure look factory. Damn you for being a graphic designer, lol.
Urijah is really well done. The only thing I don't like the is the nose on him, it just looks odd. I know he has an odd nose, but oh well. Logos and everything look splendid. Great job on these man, can't wait for you to make more stuff!

I know he has an odd nose, but oh well. Logos and everything look splendid. Ha! I started the Brock when ever the first series of R5 came out (it's a Rampage body with modded shoulders, waist and pecs in case anyone was wondering), so yeah he's been waiting to be finished for a very long time. I tried and tried to get a good photo of his head, but for some reason every photo I've taken his nose looks alot wider then it really is. Originally the nose was alot wider and I sanded it down, so I think the larger nostrils make the actual nose look fatter then it really is. The firm I work for finally has been able to hire some more help and on top of that gave me a raise. I won't have to do so much extra freelance work and I'll be pushing out alot of figures that have been sitting on my desk for months now. Keep an eye out!

Love the tattoo and logo/paintjob on the trunks for Brock. The packaging is also very impressive. The head sculpt itself is pretty good, but the mouth really throws it off for me. It looks like he was sucking on a grape lollipop or something. It still looks good as a whole though.
Urijah is kind of a let down for me. Again with this one, I love the paintjob, trunks, and packaging. The head is just way way off to me. The chin and hair are both fantastic, but the rest just doesn't look like Urijah at all to me. It's admirable that you took the time to restructure his face instead of just adding a couple minor details to an already existing Jakks head, but I can't get behind this one too much.

OK so first off I never want to disrespect anyone named Guster. Guster is my favorite band, my dog is named Guster, I just went to two sold out Beacon shows. If you are a fan of the band then you are alright with me. That being said I am not huge fans of these. The decal work you did with logos and tattoos looks phenomenal. It also looks like you are a tremendously clean painter. The problem is that the heads both kind of look like bad claymation to me. Also something about Uriah's torso makes me think insect and his feet look like he drives a Flintstones' car and has to brake with them. I respect that you attempted a full head sculpt for Brock. It's far better than many including myself could do, but I just don't think it "looks good." I'd love to see less "sculpt-heavy" customs from you that are more "paint-intensive." I hope this is received as constructive and not as mean-spirited.

I like the logos and tats. If you add blood and a little bruise marks, they would look like GREAT post-fight figures.
