The Road Warriors, a.k.a The Legion of Doom, is undoubtedly one of the greatest tag teams of all-time. This custom pays tribute to one of the many highlights of their career, defeating Money Inc. to win the WWF Tag Team Championship at SummerSlam 1992. Custom wooden base plays the iconic L.O.D. entrance music
Complete repaint of shoulder pads and vambraces in rare gold color scheme
Heads significantly modified Facial hair resculpted Warpaint recreated using a combination of decals and paint
Complete repaint of boots
Highly detailed decals applied to tights and shoulder pads
Custom championship belts with genuine leather straps
For our take on the discontinued Entrance Greats line, we created a custom base that accommodates both figures and plays the full entrance music, about 3 minutes in length. To the best of our knowledge, SS '92 was the only match for which the gold armor was worn. (They were worn in some promo photos but not with the same tights used at SS.) As with all our customs, we strove for "idealized accuracy." So while we went to great lengths to get the details right, we chose to keep the original torsos, even though at the time of the match, neither one was in the same kind of physical condition as the Mattel figures depict them. We took the same approach with the vambraces, using the original Mattel parts which we thought looked much better than the real ones which kind of looked like last-minute additions. Higher resolution pics and details at the site in the signature. As always, your feedback is welcome. Happy Holidays.

Those are right up there with the HAO Versions of LOD. Love that you put all the effort into all the little details such as the logo on the pads. It's the little things that bring the whole picture together that many people miss. Great job, couldn't be more perfect.

Thank you for the kind words, everybody. Those are right up there with the HAO Versions of LOD. Love that you put all the effort into all the little details such as the logo on the pads. It's the little things that bring the whole picture together that many people miss. Great job, couldn't be more perfect. Thank you very much. Outside of HAO, are you aware of any other factory-made LOD figures with the gold pads?

Great work man but I'd suggest getting the world tag titles that came with Arn and Tully.

Great work man but I'd suggest getting the world tag titles that came with Arn and Tully. Thanks. I have those belts, I just don't really care for them all that much. The gold is a little too yellow to me and the "World" part looks flat and completely distinct from the rest of the plate.
