Nick hit the nail on the head. I got the inspiration from the mini big head figures of Japan, but use the rumbler bodies because they're bigger. TR56 and I are good friends. He was cool enough to ask me how I felt about him doing these which, of course, I thought was awesome. It's not like I own the style or anything, but its not like his ripping off my thing. I think it's awesome that Nick has done a few customs in this style too.  |

What body and head is that? I know you said that your painting wasn't the best. I totally know how that feels, I'm terrible with logos & tattoos myself. With that said, some very small details are keeping this figure from being over the top excellent: - Chest hair. Every pic I've seen of Ox, his chest is never clean shaven. - OX in white on his pants. - White boot laces. If you have a reference picture that disputes those things, feel free to post it. Just going off of google images. If you could've found an arm without an elbow pad, that would've been great as well but that's no biggie. Looks like the open hand might need a touch up but that could be a shadow. Definitely an improvement over putting a Nash head on a Taker body. Keep it up man! Judging from your avatar, you're going to like one of my newer figures . |

The Good thing about the chest hair is the crazier it looks the more it will look like Ox, Like I said in Nicks thread Im really enjoying the Custom Rublers everone is posting up

Such an improvement, man! I really dig it. Is the waving arm sealed? Doesn't look like it from the pic. Chest hair could use some work. I'd say next time almost dry brush it on in a fluid pattern. That way it doesn't look so random. Besides that, everything else looks excellent man.

Man, I feel so silly since I just sent you a pm about Ox and how I can't wait to see it. That being said... It looks incredible. Nick said everything that I was thinking and you took the advice and made Ox look great. I agree about the elbow pad arms, but sanding them down with a dremel is about the only thing I've found that helps with that. You're progressing very well with these figures man! Proud to say that you're my buddy  |
