Lord Tensai - Attempt at Mattel Custom

That is so cool. The figure is amazing. The thing he wears on his head is a little large, but still very good.

If you do end up selling it on ebay, I would like to know.

Looks amazing! Great job on painting.

Thanks for the input so far. There was no perfect figure for him since he has a weird shaped body. I thought the Dusty was too fat and Duggan had too fat of a stomach.

I used a Nikolai Volkoff figure with the legs switched from the knee down. It is a tad too small in the upper torso, but looks good with the head.

I knew that everyone would say the headgear is too big, but it was the only thing that I had as a plastic helmet. I did not want to sculp something new. I also figured that it would be loose and not mess up the paint on the head if it scraped it. I thought the flaps on the side helped a little. I will paint the head soon and add a custom robe. Once done, I will update with new photos.

I also did a custom Cody Rhodes over the weekend with his red Wrestlemania attire. I may post photos of that also.

Thanks again!
Jeff

The attire looks dead-on!

You did a really great job on the attire and tattoos. The head piece is a bit big, but you have a really good idea with this and I am looking forward to the end product. You can make a huge amount on eBay with this if you can get it up sooner than later as I saw one that was already going for over a $100 not too long ago when there was still days left for the auction.

awesome job dude! it looks great

Thanks for the comments. I knew the helmet was too large and expected those comments. I thought I did a nice job with the exterior of the helmet though. It was all that I had to use.

I will be adding the tattoos to the face and legs soon and will add updated photos. Does anyone know how to add those to the main post without adding them as an extra post? I have one more photo that I can add here that my friend just took of the robe.

that is one good looking custom

Is this the 1 that went Over 180
