Feed me more! I've been wanting to do this guy as I feel Mattel didn't do him justice with his small torso. As you can see, my sculpt-work is still a work in progress. I'm watching a lot of videos on YouTube, trying to improve. Let me know what you guys think. I'll have more photos in the Customs board in the next few days.
***Just remembered that I forgot to paint the words on his singlet straps. Does anyone know what it says?

I love it, I feel like Brock calves and bigger hands would be good too though. Don't know if the calves would throw off the height though. |

Unfortunately, I don't have a huge inventory of spare parts so I would have to buy extra figures. Except for the head, this was entirely made up of a Bruno Sammartino. My custom fodder game is weak haha! |

Ridiculous Ryback, dude! I love that torso for him and am working on one myself! I feel like I liked the graphics on his older singlets though rather than the 'Big Guy' ones, what about you? Excellent paintwork and sculpting here, my friend  keep them coming! |

Perfection. Sheer perfection. Seriously, that's amazing. Exactly how Ryback figures should be made. |

Any suggestions for a Wildman Marc Mero head?

I know he didn't have all the tattoos back then but they looked cool so I thought I'd keep them in.  You could put the E23 head on it and it'd be very accurate for a WrestleMania 13 Taker |

Updated Elite Wade Barrett with the chest hair he has now, and two fist hands.  |

 Did my first swap ever. Elite 3 HBK head and arms onto Elite 19 HBK for a 2002 Era Shawn Michaels. |

I ended up doing an all black fix up on the Elite 25 Seth Rollins. I went from being apathetic about this figure to absolutely loving it.  |

A little tip for all you guys customizing, I saw it on Facebook so credit to whomever that guy was....
To remove paint (like say the Stars & macho man from a Macho man trunks) use clear fingernail polish. Brush it on for a couple seconds until the paint starts to smudge, then take a wet/damp cloth and just wipe it away. You might have to do it a couple times but the nail polish doesn't have acetone in it and it wont burn/eat the plastic or leave a white residue behind. Ive done it on 4 different figures so far and it works to perfection.

jarvis19 - Cool Dean Ambrose. I'd give it a shot of Matte spray on the hair, unless they shiny "wet" look was what you were going for, but then I'd make it a tad darker color too. Looks like a great sculpting job though. And I've tried my hand at sculpting hair, and that's a brutal task. So great job at accomplishing the wild messy hair-do sculpt.
