Hey all its been awhile, just got done with a Stan Hansen custom figure, made him for my fed, he's one of the greats, if you follow wrestling in japan you know exactly what im talking about, without further ado, heres "The Lariat" Stan Hansen!!!!!!!  Warsman head that i got and painted some time ago, the light does it no justice, i think the skintone is way darker in person.  Finally got ahold of some cowboy boots and painted them black, i love'em  The bigger elbow pad he always wears, i shrunk a DA knee pad down by heating it up, fit perfectly, and somehow i did it on the first try, who'd of thought, lol!! |

i dont think that head works at all. it looks like a cartoon character that just got hit in the head with a mallet or something. the rest looks great.

It's simple but works. I don't know why people don't think the head works, it's an actual toy mfg released head just resized by Wars. As for the color of the head with your flash, I would try a white background as well as putting more light on top of the figure or behind the camera and don't use the flash. The flash is what is distorting the skintone on the head. Might also try taking the picture from further away and zooming in.

I think the head works fine, my opinion though, (and my figure so,  ) i happen to like it alot, once im able to get the skintone down, (which ive tried a hundred of times) ill be real good with it. |

I actually think that scan captured Hansen perfectly, he was always wild and unstable and his eyes almost wandered, due to I believe a vision problem he had.
Look at him close especially during his AWA days and I think this figure captures him really well.
The skin tone can always be changed (those buggers at Jakks used a tough one to duplicate) but other then that I love it!

Mo Man, i agree..the head works (after all it is a cast of a real hansen head!) lol skin tones can be a real pain in the butt... but i think despite tinkering with that another great addition to your awesome fed man |

I was looking at it and trying to remember who it reminded me of...you dudes are right. It is the guy from Celebrity Dream Match!!!
I give ya credit for trying, but I honestly don't think the head matches in any way.
