Hi all, i had the privilege to meet to of my all time favorite wrestlers, two of ECW's finest, STEVE CORINO & KID KASH. Steve goes by Mr.Wrestling 3 these days and his outfit was based on his previous visit to the UK. He liked the figure so much, he even cut a promo on the figure and for my website (which should be up in about a month). The video isn't edited yet, so i grabbed a still to give you a sneak preview. ENJOY!! KID KASH Kash with figure STEVE CORINO Corino with figure Foxeth Customs - Corino promo video still I'll keep updating this thread depending on who i meet, i will also make a post about my site when its ready. Thanks for looking again guys! FOXETH CUSTOMS .................. ....................... ..................... Just thought id bump this and add the pics of Zack Ryder and the hasbro custom he ordered from me. ZACK RYDER Hi all I went to a 90's W.W.F convention here in the UK on Saturday. I made a few customs of the wrestlers i was meeting and got photos with them! I gave them as gifts to the superstars Here they are: WARLORD The GENIUS - Lanny Poffo TERRY FUNK WRATH All were very happy, Terry and his wife were thrilled and she was apparently showing it off to other fans... that made me so happy and justified the time they took. Warlord was so surprised to receive it as a gift, he had a big grin and kept looking at it. He said, "man its so cool, thanks so much man", and signed a couple of things for me. Poffo was so delighted he wants to put my links on his site... way cool. Bryan Adam Bomb Wrath - didnt care less and was miserable with everyone.. lol Im so happy with the outcome of the day! Hope you enjoy too!

Wow that's so cool that you got a picture of Ryder holding your custom and that figure looks great too! What'd he have to say about it?

Sorry that Adam "Wrath" Bomb hated his own existence, but that's an awesome story. It's always cool when you meet guys and they are super nice, it makes you an even bigger fan. Zack Ryder is my favorite new character right now. Here's hoping when EcW goes down, he goes up. Nice work.

Fantastic work man and for the superstar to appreciate a small gift like that would make any fan feel even better. I think is super ultra cool that Zack Ryder ordered a custom from you. That is like .."WoW"... I'd be honored to have any superstar order a custom.

cheers for the kind words guys Zack's a nice guy, really happy with his figure and how it turned out. Im looking forward to making this a regular thing. Im meeting a number of guys in March so will hopefully have a few things finished for then. Expect a website in the near future too, just as soon as i find someone who can create or copy a specific text for my logo. Basically i want the 1990-1993 style 'royal rumble' text, and the idea is to change the wording to 'foxeth customs'.. just a heads up But yeah, thanks again guys, its nice to hear nice things!

Ryder is a huge figure fan/collector, and used (still is?) to be a member here. I actually did some trades with him a few years before he went to the WWE.
