Same thing with CMD. He's been "working" on a Joe I paid for a few months ago. Every time I ask how it's going, he tells me how busy he's been and didn't have time to make any real progress on it. Honestly, I don't understand why people take orders, if they can't get the product out to the buyer at a reasonable time? Makes no sense. Haha I ordered a Nakamura and Super Dragon from him in late August and still have nothing. I keep hearing " oh well I have finals and stuff to do." I paid well over what CMD asked for because I figured I'd get the best service. Said itd be done at the end of September. It's a real shame too because you expect better from them. I get that they have lives and jobs but don't take a order if you already have 5 others you haven't finished. Then on top of it make other stuff that you're doing just for fun and to put on eBay.

I get the point of making stuff for eBay, as certain pieces on there can grab him some quick money. It's just a matter of making what people WANT. Every time I place an order, I ask him if he's overhauled with work. Always tells me no. Every other time it's been $300+ worth of orders, that I've waited a year for. This time, I decided to just do one... and it's still been several months. "School and finals". I get that those come first, but I'm also paying you for the service. I dunno.

Yeah I just don't know with some of them. Like their work is so amazing but A. It costs over $100 or B. decent price and a long wait. There's only 1 time where I go cheap customs and them done quick and that was from PrideFCF. I had to seal the customs once I got them but that never bothered me.

Looks like this thread has become a frustration-venting forum already. Anyone has new customs or fixups to share?

This is a fix-up I'm 100% sure that has been done but I haven't seen any pictures posted, apologies if I'm wrong. This is a fixup I've been wanting to do for sometime now since this is one of my favorite Mankind attires. I also painted the wrist tape on each wrist and his right hand like he did have in his HIAC match. The simple formula I used was Amazon Exclusive Mankind legs and torso, Basic Mankind shirt, arms and head, Cody Rhodes boots and Daniel Bryans right hand. ![](http://i1156.photobucket.com/albums/p576/rock4ace/Mobile%20Uploads/IMAG1949_zpst4o2buwo.jpg) ![](http://i1156.photobucket.com/albums/p576/rock4ace/Mobile%20Uploads/IMAG1951_zpsmz5v4emt.jpg) and for those that are possibly curious how the Amazon Exclusive head looks ![](http://i1156.photobucket.com/albums/p576/rock4ace/Mobile%20Uploads/IMAG1947_zpsymnobqst.jpg)

Simple Million Dollar Man fix up. Saw something similar on her a long time ago. Figures I'd make my own. ![](http://i478.photobucket.com/albums/rr141/jonnybananas24/Mobile%20Uploads/B50DBC84-3D97-4169-B2D1-9B35E4C2A13C.jpg) Good stuff. Love seeing some M$M. I want to do one with a green and white suit but I've no idea how to paint the damn suits so that they are durable and the paint won't flake off. Also, I just did an elite of M$M but the torso was too ripped. Old- Barrett torso down to thighs, EG arms, head and calves/boots. New- Terry Funk upper and lower torso, EG arms, head and calves/boots with Barrett crotch and thighs. ![](http://i453.photobucket.com/albums/qq260/yearofthespider2k3/IMG_20141130_093952.jpg)

lNot at all, if you get the arms off 1st you could easily slip the shirt off. The challenge was the torso cracking but if you let the torsos sit in HOT water then it shouldn't be too hard.

Havent posted in a while ![](http://i712.photobucket.com/albums/ww124/rjhales/21b9c834-25b9-4f5a-938f-cbce6a8d9092_zps0eb3e9df.jpg) ![](http://i712.photobucket.com/albums/ww124/rjhales/cb08cfdc-12a3-4574-80eb-8786ed440875_zps6376ab11.jpg) ![](http://i712.photobucket.com/albums/ww124/rjhales/c522070d-b8a0-47f1-9916-7da4a2f213a5_zpscd3cf21e.jpg) This is a Basic/Elite mix I did for a customer here, He wanted the basic torso on the elite legs but wanted it functional. Most basic elite hybrids ive seen were glued down and I wasn't sure it was possible to keep the articulation. I came up with a good idea to sculpt inside the basic torso so it fit on the elite legs, as you can see above, it worked out really well.

I agree. I mean I'm not bad at customizing but there are certain things I know I can't make so CMD was my last resort. Probably will never order from anyone again because they never come through on their end.
