Considering how the guy he "ripped off" has said everythings fine I'd consider that case closed on the matter.
Now that AJ posted a few pages back looks absolutely wonderful, I tried to do an AJ years ago now , it was shocking.

I actually like that Joey Ryan few pages back. Made me chuckle a bit cause the dude is a class A talent. I really hope to see him on TNA a lot more soon.

I'm not going to be a douchebag and post the message publicly, but "Ultimateenigma" did admit to his "professional/creative dishonesty." It's over, and really, that's all I wanted. I appreciate your honesty "Enigma." I also won't be a douche and categorize you with Deepfreeze for stealing my poop, especially when that Snuka sucks. I can understand how someone stealing your ideas can get annoying. I posted my typhoon wip and asked about a road dogg head. Also mentioned i was working on quake to go with typhoon and something else i dont remember what. Two days later someone posts wip for 5 customs i had just mentioned and showed wip of. Then more recently i mentioned using my e8 taker and custom crush head to do a evil crush and someone just did a evil crush too. Owell i won't post my ideas or wip i'll just wait till im finished to show. I guess my problem is im not even that good so the ones who stole my ideas and finished before me probably came out way better than mine lol

I can understand if someone is stealing your custom and posting it as their own. Its happened to me at times and is pretty pathetic. As for ideas. I could care less if someone used mine. I hate to say "steal" because it is possible for someone to use the same parts. Hell I welcome if someone uses my idea. Great minds and all, right? If they do a better job, even better. I love seeing customs i am doing or have done and to see when people do it better. Its called inspiration.I don't mind sharing my formula for figures when I get around to writing back. But I do admit I hate playing 21 questions with the same person. Not trying to pick a fight or name anyone in particular. Just putting in my 2 cents.

I really don't think it's a big deal to borrow ideas, or recreate figures made by others. I mean if a formula works, it works, what can you do? Purposely use lesser parts, and end up with a crappy figure?
It's just in good tastes to give credit where credit is due if you know for a fact you heavily relied on their work/ideas as a guideline, or simply flat out copied the thing from head to toe.
Though I do think a person is dancing a fine line if they not only copy someones recipe, but immediately sell it around the same time. I recall quite some time ago having one guy fake interest in a custom of mine. He asked a bunch of questions, and then immediately used all the info I gave to make a lazy replica of his own to sell at the same time as myself.

I still remember when somebody claimed some TERRIBLE early customs of mine back in '04 as their own... Haha, when I think back to how awful the work I had done was, I should have let the guy take the credit! I'm so glad I've learned to have patience with customising/modifying figures...

back to posting fixups! Good idea! It's currently 3:45am in the UK (I'm only online because I'm an insomniac) but I might have some time in the daytime to get a bit more done to the ABA street clothes Undertaker I'm working on, so if I make decent progression I'll have some updated pictures! I'm planning on making some jeans for him as I still can't find any legs that will keep the scale... If I go the material route, I'm going to aim to make it look as realistic as humanly possible because I don't want it to look like simply a bit of blue denim on his legs!

WWE.com recently did an article of different factions reborn....so it inspired me to create a NEW fantasy nWo. i will be adding Randy orton and Cena to this WIP mysterio. added glossy accents to give a shimmery look to pants. Will have nwo painted shirt, "nwo" in white down right leg, "4 life" in black down the left leg. Complete nWo will be posted in main forum when done

That's a neat idea joejitsu ^^
These figures are just way too expensive for me to customize "concept" characters so more power to you!

Aside from the short boots, that Brodus is amazing. Kurt's gear looks sick too.

I have used recipes i have seen b4 too but i gave the person credit

christianedge-That Von Erich head for Angle reminds me so much of his later RA scans for some reason. The butt chin kind of throws it off though, as I don't believe Angle has one. Very creative route on the Brodus head as well. I don't know enough about his Funkasaurus character to say if the expression fits his gimmick much, but I like it.

thanks fellas!
clay is a slightly modded angle head., from DI I think. he's an angry tyranno-funkasaurus.
Angle's attire is based from SvR 07. I agree that I should've removed the butt chin on him.

There's some great work on this thread, i really like that Brodus and Triple H with short hair. These are nothing spectacular just a couple things i did a while ago.

That Cody is great. I'm about to do something similar. I'm waiting for an extra Elite 13 Cody to come in and I'm going to put that Battle Pack head with Elite 12 Del Rio Kneepads and Boots.
