Both figures look really good. The Joe looks really well done and I like the idea behind the kickpads. CS Rikishi, right? The Knox looks awesome as well. The chest hair looks so realistic. My only suggestion is to maybe make his trunks a bit longer. Other than that, both figures are superb. Good job.

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 honestly think the body is better suited for Joe than Dusty. 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! I'm just speaking in regards to the scale of the rest of the Mattel WWE line. |

I'm just speaking in regards to the scale of the rest of the Mattel WWE line. I understand what you are saying. That's what I was saying, I don't think the body is properly scaled for Dusty. I get what you mean. I think the body works perfectly, or as close to, for Joe. Both Dusty's I have are now Joe (one still a wip). BTW- I've got a couple of figures I'm working on that I think you'll enjoy. IIRC, some time ago in the discussion thread you mentioned self customs (or was it Warheart? Correct me if I'm wrong), one of myself and the other my brother. I'm actually most excited about those more than anything else I'm working on at the moment. Both are based on our SD Caw's appearances, but my brother is also asking me to make another of him from when he wrestled. The caw designs are more dynamic than real life, which make them a bit more fun to work on, and lack of necessary "fat parts" make the real life version a bit difficult to pull off for The Greek Assassin. |

Joe looks good he looks to be a bit short too which is nice. I like the use of the Toy Biz head.

how did you remove the birthmark?? The same way I remove any and all factory paint, acetone on a qtip or cotton ball and wipe it away. You can also use nail polish remover as long as it has acetone in it. It will take the paint right off. |

Sweet custom Joe man. Beside removing the birthmark, did you use any paint of him or is that factory paint?

Standboy88- Hey man, how much do I need to reduce the size of those to print them out?
Jonesgonnakillu- I assume you mean the skin tone? None, but you would have to remove the skin paint from the TB TNA Joe head, otherwise it's really off. I re-did the eye brows and the sideburns.

Niko, beautiful job man!
Joe looks quite heavy...almost like he looks now. I really like seeing these new Mattel customs shape up the customs board. Gives us something different to look at.
Great use of those Rikishi kickpads. Almost makes the figure looks like an actual Elite release with the clothes and stuff.
Now Knox is well.. Knox I still like it. A Real shame he got let go, I honestly thought he was better than Snitsky...
The chest hair looks fantastic man. Gotta share your secret on that one! Great batch man! Can't wait to see the Jericho you're making! Any chance of you getting rid of the body? Let me know!
