Skintone aside, that's a very well made figure. The purple is very clean, which can be hard to do, especially with a lighter purple.
Not in love with the gear you gave him but that's a personal preference and not a knock on the figure itself.
Not sure the Steamboat is the best torso for him, maybe an earlier career Benoit but the later Benoit was so thick.
Question, how did you do the joints? Did you break him open, paint and baby proof everything, or is he pretty much stuck in that position? If you bend his knees will red show?
One tiny bit of advise, not sure if it's the flash or what, but take the hands off and paint the part where the hand meets the arm, I think I see some white showing.

Thanks for your advise, It seem I was a bit overhasty with the painting of the hand wrists and missed some spots, othervise all the joints are painted and sealed so the fig can move smmothly, just like an elite fig ought to. I've always loved Benoit's purple attire so I've decided to paint my custom Benoit in purple with claw scratches on the side. Thanks again for your comments and advise It's much appreciated. |

Looks very good. I was going to keep the one I had started a few weeks back when someone asked what his head looked like on the Steamboat body. But I decided to wait for an extra Pillman before I mad my Benoit. How does it look without the shirt?

I seen what you did there...  Asides from that I actually have that TTL figure and now am thinking about doing something like this. I doubt... No I know it wont look nearly as good as this but it's the thought that counts right? Now just to find some time... |

I have only one problem with the Raven, and that is the logo is a bit too low on the shirt. Apart from that, I really like it, any chance you could supply those decals? Keep it up.
