So much talent here! I am saddened to announce I will be walking away, not retiring from custom figures. Good news is, I am entered into #ToughEnough ! I don't really check this site out as much as I would like. I am working hard daily for this & I will win! Wade Barrett's girlfriend is also a friend, so yeah! Root for your BROTHER HERE PLEASE! I love you all and will always be around here and there, but custom figures started this all for me! You CAN DO ANYTHING, so please keep working hard! Maybe some of you can work with me and make a custom of me? I will work with you on it as I still have time before leaving to the road to WWE Tough Enough..
Wade Barrett's lady.. So, no BAD NEWS here!
I love you all, but please don't blow up my mail here as I am NOT taking any more orders, but I will fulfill my obligations as I have always been true. Sure, things happen & pain happens. I am sorry if I ever hurt anyone & I will do all I can to keep customizing. I love this board as I started here 15 years ago. Thank you! I will check & see if anyone makes a custom of me & maybe I can do what Matt Hardy did for me for one of you amazing artists. This artist is always an artist, but I am going to WWE.

3.10.14 - This custom was fun to make 4 Real..
Chris Benoit:
--------
3.8.14 - Since I am not a fan of the Jakks head of Brody that I recently used, I thought I would create something different. Enjoy!
--------
3.7.14 - I wanted to make a Justin Credible without using the TTL head & here is my go at it..
Justin Creidble
--------
3.5.14 - I know.. I know.. Stop with the Sid's! Well, I was going to after the last one but then a member showed one with this recipe and I had to give it a shot and my own way to it.
Sycho Sid:
How it was looking before painting..
--------
3.4.12 - Now that I have the WWE Network, I got to see some classic matches and other ring gear ideas. Here's a Sycho Sid in Red I been working on the past few hours. Enjoy!
Sycho Sid:
--------
3.2.14 - Picked up an Ambrose yesterday and decided to customize it to his current look today. Hope you guys enjoy & more to come soon!
Dean Ambrose:
Here are two pictures of the in between stages..
--------
2.27.14 - Been a while since I have been around, customized, or posted. I am getting the dust off the ol' customizing table and getting back on past projects as well new ones. Here's a few simple ones I made today to get myself back on the figure effect..
Bruiser Brody:
Sycho Sid:
--------
8.8.13 - Made ANOTHER Chris Benoit, but this time in his 4-REAL attire..
Chris Benoit 4-Real:
I'm not really sure why I keep making Benoit, but I just have been enjoying creating a great wrestler that Mattel for great reasoning will never produce. I am only enjoying creating someone who inspired me to become a wrestler, and not as a person he was in his final dark days..
--------
8.7.13 - Elite CM Punk with sculpted hair..
CM Punk:
--------
8.5.13 - WMXX Chris Benoit. Made another with a less ripped torso and shorter legs. I liked how the first one came out, but wanted him to be a bit shorter..
Wrestlemania XX Chris Benoit:
Side By Side:
--------
8.4.13 - WCW Era Bill Goldberg & WWF Era Sycho Sid..
Bill Goldberg:
Sycho Sid:
--------
7.30.13 - Elite Wrestlemania XX Chris Benoit & Chris "No Gimmicks Needed" Candido..
Chris Benoit:
I always wanted to make a Mattel Chris Benoit, and I feel this came out really well. I captured him in his Wrestlemania XX attire when he won the Heavyweight title, but it took alot of watching the match, still photos and browsing to get his attire as accurate as I could. The head is from his R3 figure in which I had to fully paint because the skin tone was too dark for the Mattel body used. I think I mixed up a good color that syncs up with the body.
Chris Candido:
--------
7.28.13 - After 15-months, I finally finished my Elite Jimmy "Superfly" Snuka. It was about 90% done then, but I just put it on the back burner, but it's now complete! It's a mixture of parts as the lower legs are from a Jakks UFC figure as I didn't have a Kevin Von Erich to work with. The hands were from a Toy Biz Scott Hall and properly molded to make Jimmy's signature hand pose. The hair and head band are sculpted, as well as the wrist and ankle bands. The figure is fully painted, but enough of me ranting about it..
--------
7.27.13 - Elite Hogan, Lashley, Justin Credible, JBL & Mike Knox..
Hulk Hogan:
Bobby Lashley:
Justin Credible:
JBL:
Mike Knox:
--------
7.10.13 - Elite CM Punk with his current Wolverine facial hair..
CM PUNK:
Resculpted his hair to how it is now, along with his Wolverine chops and painted his tattoos and kickpads accordingly..
--------
7.8.13 - Been a while since I have worked on anything or posted, but I am back at the customizing table. Here's my latest finished piece..
CURTIS AXEL:
Next piece I have in the works..
I had a hard time finding a good quality pic of the back of Axel's trunks, so I just worked with all of the angles of pictures I could find of them. I also included the scar that he has near his belly button. I noticed on the current Japan tour he reverted back to his old trunks, but I have another Elite Axel in the works in the near future. As for the Punk, well I want to roll with the punches on his current look and hope to have that wrapped up in the next day or two. Enjoy!
--------
10.14.12 - I haven't done too many Elite customs, but I for sure wanted to create another Kane in this form. Started this last night and got so caught up in it that I finished it today. Fully sculpted hair & mask and painted in his current attire. I had a hard time getting the right flash and lighting in some of the pics for his mask, but was able to get a few that weren't so bright that didn't take away from detail. Enjoy!
KANE:
--------
8.10.12 - Had fun making these two, especially my favorite wrestler, Kane! Kane is in his current attire with fully sculpted hair and mask, and Brock is from his WM19 attire. Trying to get more figures finished to post soon. Enjoy!
KANE:
WM19 Brock Lesnar:
--------
7.7.12 - As excited as I was that Mattel made Mason Ryan, they didn't do him any justice. I feel that the body mold is far too small and outdated, as well too cut up, as Mason is lean, he's more mass than anything. Enjoy!
Comparison
--------
5.24.12 - Here's my ABA/Big Evil Undertaker. I used a WM Heritage Undertaker and fully sculpted the hair & bandana. Hope you guys like it..
With a light flash:
A pic after sculpting:
--------
5.23.12 - Here's my JBL Custom/Fix-Up. I used his Havoc Unleashed head as the scale of it is perfect for Mattel and I couldn't pass up on a few JBL's at $2 a piece. I had to paint the hair as it was missing color as well not the right shade for him. I had fun making a quick Elite version of him while making a Basic to come soon..
With a light flash:
--------
5.22.12 - What better way for my 1,000 post than to update my custom page with everyone's favorite imposter, "Big Daddy Kane" Diesel? I've wanted to make the fake Diesel for a number of years and happy with the way it turned out. Being that Kane is one of my all time favorites it seemed right to make him in one of his interesting era's.
With a light flash:
--------
5.14.12 - Started working on this Saturday night as I got an Undertaker body that day to make it. I know there is a Mattel Elite one being made, but I still wanted to make one of my favorites as a kid in my preferred basic form..
With a light flash:
--------
5.9.12 - Forgotten I had purchased Mattel Berzerker outfits from spam until today, I decided to throw a quick custom together. I sculpted and painted the hair and beard and did the wrist tape, so it's a fix-up/custom of sorts. I have an elite version in the works that I feel is really gonna shine, I'm just trying to make a helmet for it and it's alot of trial and error, but here is the basic version I did..
--------
4.29.12 - Created a new Brock using the Jakks head this time. I feel this came out alot smoother than my previous figure and I used the tattoo decals Jay created, which he has a post in the reference picture area, so he is credited for the designs.
I used an Ezekiel Jackson body, Kozlov lower legs, Batista boots and a Jakks Lesnar head..
Here is a picture of it with a light flash:
Here's a before picture as the Jakks head I used had factory error creases in the chin and you can see I sculpted the cauliflower ear Brock has..
