First off, back a month or so ago, I wasn't planning on making Mattel customs at all, I was content to just keep on with the Jakks customs. Although that certainly changed, I was at Target last month, and made an impulse buy of some Mattel figures, and decided to tinker around with them (this has caused a little pushback of other Jakks customs I have in the works however, but those will be done soon). Here I have for you all 8 Mattel style Indy customs, as well as one additional Jakks RA custom. Enjoy...  "Lightning" Mike Quackenbush  "The American Dragon" Bryan Danielson (WWE NXT's Daniel Bryan)  Matt and Nick Jackson, The Young Bucks (TNA's Max & Jeremy Buck, Generation Me)  Claudio Castagnoli & Ares, (of The Brudershaft, AKA Swiss Money Holding)  Amasis & Ophidian, The Osirian Portal  Bases for Mattel customs (The Mattel line offers a unique addition to my customizing efforts with the addition of bases to every figure. Instead of just tossing them aside, I have customized them to fit the wrestler they are for)  "The Sultan of Slam Dunk" Sugar Dunkerton  Sugar and Dasher Hatfield, The Throwbacks. -CMD |

Sugar Dunkerton is amazing, everything from his attire to the afro. The face is spot on as well.
My favorite of the Mattel bits is Amasis, but the scale is off. I am not a big fan of the Mattel line, as it doesn't have the scope for customizing like Jakks (as of yet). That being said, your work is always top notch, smooth and clean as it comes.

Wow, beautiful work!
Great parts and paints. Dumb question, is "Ares" Austin Ares? I don't watch indys anymore but I remember him from 4-5 years ago in IWA:MS.
Great job!

Wow, beautiful work! Great parts and paints. Dumb question, is "Ares" Austin Ares? I don't watch indys anymore but I remember him from 4-5 years ago in IWA:MS. Great job! Wars "Ares" and "Austin Aries" are two different people. I've heard Ares' name pronounced interchangeably the same as Aries, and without an 'i' (like R-S). Austin Aries is the 2-time Ring of Honor World Champion. Ares is Marco Jaggi, a Swiss pro wrestler who for the earlier part of the last decade was one half of "Swiss Money Holding" with Claudio Castagnoli in their native Switzerland before Claudio moved to the USA in 2004, thereafter continuing the Swiss Money Holding team with another guy by the name of Marc Roudin. He now lives in the USA aswell, and is married to Allison Danger, indy women's wrestler and sister of Steve Corino. OH MY GAAAAAD ! Claudio Castagnoli is larger than life ^^. Mike Quackenbush very good custom. How long to realize Quackenbush ? Your wording is kinda weird, but what I gather is you are asking how long did it take to make Quack? Not too long. A couple of days. The factor of how long it takes for me to make something all depends on my motivation at the moment, and at the particular moment, I was quite motivated. Also for those curious, it's the head and crotch from a Cody Rhodes, Torso from a Santino, and the arms and legs from a 2-pack series 1 HBK. OMG I LOVE THE The American Dragon" Bryan Danielson what figure did you use ? The Danielson is a Jericho with a modded Ted DiBiase head. -CMD |

That Quack is spot on amazing. The designs are neatly done. The paint is smooth. And the head choice is perfect.

They all look great except for Bryan imo. Why did you give him such a dark hair color?
