 Sid was pretty easy. Jakks head on a Hillbilly Jim Body with Undertaker Boots. Toybiz vest and Taker's elbow pad. To spice it up a little, I painted the area between the knee pads and the boots.  Sabu was a little bit more complex. Elite 3 Miz base figure. I think I used Cody Rhode's boots, when I should have used Mr. Perfects -- I wouldn't have had to paint them but I wasn't thinking at the time. And then again I used CM Punk's tattooed arms, forcing me to paint over them all, lol. I started this custom a while ago so I think my fodder pile was a lot less than it is now. Sculpted the sash, wrist tape and the bottom's of the pant legs. Used the TNA Toybiz head which I REALLY had to hollow out to get to work. The head dress is also from the Toybiz figure. Painted the skin tone and went with a glossy green and white combination for the tights -- not sure when or if he ever wore that but I like it. I wanted to sculpt the scars but I just slapped them on with some paint...it was easier and faster haha. In the end, I'm happy with it but If I made him again, I'd use the funk torso as I think it fits him much more. I can't show the eyes because they're not painted because I suck at painting eyes. Thanks for looking. |

Dope stuff man, I'd really like to see some more pics of the head/ neck area on Sabu if you got em. I'm working on a Mattel elite Sabu of my own and I was thinking about using the ToyBiz head myself. Either way bro nice job on both and I hope to see more in the future!

Wow both Sid and Sabu look awesome, Sabu especially great paint work/craftsmenship
the only issue with it is the skin tone looked a little to dark and the head cape looked
somewhat unrealistic.
Perhaps some different material would make it look better but
regardless nice job, Sid Vicious looked perfect no problems there.

Both figures are really amazing. I might have to use your same parts for my own Sid custom with added shin articulation.
