Glad to finally see a clear photo of this guy. It's obviously a little on the simple side, but you make it work well for what it is (beyond that, this is pretty much exactly what Mattel would have given us if he was made in Elite form). Outside of maybe trying to repaint the hair on his head to be more detailed, there isn't much you could do.
Good job either way. Can't wait to see Joe, as well as the detail work on Jericho.

Thanks man. Yeah, he is very much on the simple side. I do wish Mattel could have made Knox themselves in Elite form, but I have to say I like my chest hair more than any of the chest hair Mattel has done to date. I might just have to add some dry brush to Knox's hair and beard. I hadn't even considered that. Thanks again Pride! |

I need to find some testors silver. Mine went bad. I tried to hit a local hobby shop today, but they are closed Sunday. Jericho will be up during the week. Brock will probably be up by the weekend/early next week. |

good job with knox.. i have mine on the finishing table.. looks just like that... joe is good.. but i personally think the head is just a tad too small.. but i do like the added kickers... good job!

they are both really good. the only thing i would suggest for knox is to make the shorts just slightly longer. as for joe great job with wat is available. im not a fan of those kickers but i know mattel doesnt currently have any kicker boots for that body size. im also not a huge fan of the head but the jakks head would probably be way too big so that is really the only option u have. great job

While I know there isn't much else out there to use, I think the Dusty body for Joe is far too big. Joe is fat, but he isn't the same level of fat that Dusty/Kamala and Vader are as far as Mattel scale goes.

Joe is fat, but he isn't the same level of fat that Dusty/Kamala and Vader are as far as Mattel scale goes. That's what I was thinking. The best alternative is maybe Sheik with the muscles sculpted over, but some might consider it to be too small. I just think it's the lesser of two evils, personally. Still, using what you have available, the Joe looks pretty good. The hand tape and edges on the short look a little off center. Minor nitpicks there. I like the idea behind the kickpads for sure. It looks a little funny on the left foot, but still nice. Not a bad 1-2 combo you dropped on us today. Keep them comin'. |

I like the way you handled the chest hair of Knox.

Cool customs. I think putting a ball necklace on Joe would add a nice touch.  Knox is perfect. That dude is a monster in real life and the chest hair looks great.  |

IMO, Dusty should be fatter. As for the left kicker, the elastic gets bunched up due to the peg being plugged into the foot which is why it isn't bunched up on the right. Thanks again for the praise, much more coming! |
