Holy crap, man that is AMAZING! That looks very realistic and I love the fact that you mixed up Jakks with Mattel. It only shows the extra work you are willing to take to make a custom look better. The blue/black combo is my favorite attire color of his, so that just makes it even better. Incredible job!!

I love when people think outside of the box like this. It makes the figure really stands out amongst the Mattel Basic style as something unique. If it wasn't for the different shoulder area, this could pass as something "factory" from Mattel themselves.
And you even managed to make the ToyBiz Joe head, which is only so-so, really look good.
Seriously, just an all around great job. Hope to see more from you soon.

Can't wait to see more. |

Wow when I first saw the pic just by the face features. I though it was a Mattel made
figure anyways great custom dude. The Samoa Joe figure had a great paint detail.

amazing work buddy, the R3 torso's add a touch of realism and your paintwork is very smooth as well.

The compliments are very much appreciated. I have plenty of customs I'm working on, but I take forever finishing them. This Joe was finished 6 months ago...I just got around to posting it. |
