Yes.. Just a preview. And I only currently have my iPhone, but please do not lock, I'll be finished tomorrow and have pics up in this post of the finished product. This is JUST A TEASER PHOTO. Now on to a few words. I've been off of work over 2 weeks due to a fractured elbow, and finally got the urge to get back into the game. And I STILL got it, in my opinion at least. This is an Unmatched Fury Kane figure, with fully sculpted Mask and Hair. Sculpting also done to fix the glove, wrist band, and prepare the painting for his suit. I have many pics I took a long the way, starting with outlining his mask and constructing it. I did NOT fabricate the elbow pads OFF because I do not have proper tools so I molded around the right pad, to where, once I paint, it'll look beneath the suit. Here's the first photo, as I'm too proud of my work to wait til I'm done... A true classic guys.

I appreciate the comments so far guys. I was stoked once I started knocking this thing out and had my "artistic juices" flowing and the talents starting running like a well-oiled machine. And because I just CAN'T hold back atleast a proto shot of the mask, I'll throw one in this comment. All other pics will be in the main post, and I'm considering putting this up for sale on eBay. Or here. As long as it finds it's way to a fellow Kane fan's collection. The fun and enjoyment is in creating the figure, not necessarily owning it, as I'm sure that goes without saying to most.

Dude! That's great! Did you do any additional sculpting on the legs? I have several sculpted figures and your posts make me want to finish mine up.

Its looking great, especially the mask... just two things... 1) i know its not as iconic, but for the sake of accuracy, is it not better to do Kane's double sleeve attire? its just for he one sleeve attire, a bit part of it is he does have one arm totally bare, having the elbow pad will take away from it a bit... so the double sleeve would be better surely? 2) Kane's hair was never that straight, making it a bit bigger and curlier would add to the head alot Heres some pics for what i mean.

Lol I'm aware of what you meant on the hair. This was pretty much a fun project I took up and nearly finished up in about 8 hours. It has it's realistic areas, which will be seen, and also has it's "novelty" style areas. Ripped and Ruthless 2 Kanes hair wasn't curly worth a flip, but that definitely didn't take away from it's promise of being a great/rare collectible. Now I know it's different, since this is a custom, but trust me, tomorrow it'll all come to a head and the straighterhair won't be so bothersome. It just sticks out like a sore thumb at the moment due to it being basically the main focus so far. Much appreciated guys.
And no, no additional sculpting on the legs. The lowest I went was his waist for his belt. Also, I hate giving away too much before actually laying it all out, but the reason I chose the single sleeve look was because of the overall idea I had. The mask style (after painting) is actually focused on a mask he wore during his stint wearing the singlet top. The suit, I'm aiming for the style a little after his debut when the black stripes spanned down a little further, but without the "see-through" areas. It's not one of those random, mix of eras, type figs like NWO/Red & Yellow Hogans, but it is slightly just a variation "outfit" as he's already had too many to count anyway. Like what? 57 different style masks? (Paint wise/Mold wise) lol.

The sculpting is so well done and the mask is looking awesome, hair is good but generic and needs ' fluffing'. Cant wait for the painting and finished product. However how has no one mentioned this is unfinished and should not be posted on the main board

sculpting is rough on the chest,back and arm. the hair is also really flat.
also it sounds like you need to be knocked down a few notches because your work isnt as good as you think it is.
this needs to be moved because this is an unfinished custom and if you would have read the rules at the top then you would have known not to post this here

This is honestly looks promising! I am really liking the mask! I totally hear you with the hair, I doesnt really bother me. And honestly, brag as much as you want and be as excited as you want. Dont let little Angus tell you to "knock down a few notches". He hates "unfinished figures" lol
