Hey guys. I always thought it was a shame that Hansen was not given a Classic Superstars fig, so I decided to make one myself since I doubt he would be included in the NWA line (if it ever comes out). I used several different figures to make Hansen: Heidenrieh head Eugene body Evan Bourne's lower legs (for the top portion of his kick-pad) JBL's cowboy boot bottom's from a suited figure. I sculpted and painted a mustache, and his hair. I also painted his tights, boots, and lower legs. Accessory wise I cut strips of suade to make tassle's on his vest, then I used a long strip touse as his temporary bull wip. This is my 2nd custom figure, and I have several more to come. Comments, Compliments, and Criticism are welcomed. For those that missed it, here is my 1st custom. Baron Von Raschke
Here are a few of the Customs I have been working on. Don't know if this Ernie Ladd counts as a custom, but I did add new boots, and gave the legs a custom skin-tone. (Thanks Ben). Here is the late great Fred Blassie Gorilla the way he should have been made (at least IMO). It sucks that Jakks never made Magnum, so I did my own. I know a bunch of folks made their own Magnum as well, but I wanted to do one that is a bit unique. I still need to add a varnish, and I'm not sure if I'm going to leave on the painted chest hair, or just put some doll hair on him. Comments are welcomed. Thank You for looking.

I really like the Baron, especially his ears. You nailed it!
My only suggestion with Hansen would be to mod his hair. He very rarely had a crew cut, usually longer. Otherwise, it looks great, can't wait for more from you.

Great Stan, I couldn't figure out the head you used until I read. That means it really fit him.

I don't feel the actual legends get enough respect on here, or in the actual CS line. The CS line should have included a wrestling attired version of Blassie, as well as a version of Monsoon similar to mine. Keep your eyes peeled dude, because I have plenty more legends coming.
