100% improvement, would be even better if you added a row of fans around the announce and entrance areas.

Thanks I was gonna add a security guard by the entrance as I may have room now and I originally was gonna have a pose able crowd and staff behind that announcer back guard rail and thank heavens I have a small table or who knows how much more $$$ I would spend  but Im still really enjoying the collection and I will show my 4 Brutus Beefcakes next . Im almost done with SNME but I have Challenge and Superstars DVDs coming soon TC June and Im up to 120 figures so Im gonna make my Universe cutoff 1985 - 89 to control my collection so bye bye Yoko  and this is why I never bought a Taker or Paul . Hey June do you like the Blue outfit LOD ? any thought on me making the barricades blue ? As Im really trying to make things look best over dead on realism , thanks for any comments or suggestions as I appreciate you insight |

Herc looks good, and I do like the Blue LOD, but they are inaccurate for the era you're going for. As for the barriers, I like them as is, but I suppose you can spray paint them blue if you'd like.
Cutting off at 89 is something that I considered, but I ended up pushing it back to 92 to include Sid Justice whom is one of my favorites, as well as Iraqi sympathizer Slaughter & early Taker.

Nah the black barricade blends in good with the raised crowd as I dont have a traditional ring set up , Jakks did some wild stuff like andre double strap but did LOD ever do the blue ? I Dont have a good Taker yet but as of now Him and Paul B are out .The lego chain looks great but should I give hercs beard more volume by the jaw to lose eugene look , I use a glue I can mold and then paint but silicone like ? what can I do about the neck and arm distance as its too long , chest to low

There is a torso that is perfect for Hercules, It's used for Later versions of Batista, Warrior and Dynamite Kid. You would have to do a torso split though, refer to PJ he had posted a tutorial and is always willing to help.
The Lego chain looks good, but I feel that the chains you purchased if simply wrapped around the neck would do a fine job of concealing.
If you insist on cutting the neck down and re sculpting, go with apoxy sculpt as it will be rock hard.

That's the Dynamite/Warrior torso, I think there is a late RA tripe h with that torso and plain black tights too. |

It looks awesome. Glad there's still someone who does Jakks customs instead of Mattel.

I had to cut down the Directors chairs but there gonna look great in my pipers pit ring set with mr 1 derful , heres my mod Hercules and I have lego chain coming for him as the metal doesnt work imo and I was able to frizz Hercs hair with a dremel but I my add a thickness to the jowls of his beard and I wish I could adjust the distance between his arms and neck as its too long ? any torso ideas June ? In pic two you can also see the barricade close up and I added a second blue mat under the segregated ones for thickness and realism    Dam I put Hercules on ebay as a joke opening bid for $40 and someone bid as Im only $16 into it but I sold my first custom so I guess Im a pro Now  so time to make another few but it was pretty fun and next time I will lower the neck somehow and I might even make some custom 80s entrances as I have tons of that expensive skirt material . |

Hey guys Heres the MM and I have a trick where I can stretch his head so its a tad bigger and I been watching a lot of SNME and I see either blue or black rug leading to the ring so does it look ok or should I lose it ? Thanks as always and I got my new Andre torsos in and they look and pose so much better than nipple Andre and June Goof off was amazing one wipe and the tats were gone black and colored ones so thank you !   |

Its been a while but I made many changes and Im focusing on a 1985 to 1987 rosters with multiples of most wrestlers if possible and I have many new items in the mail , from Ralphs special Andre suit with salmon shirt , Golden Hammer robe , Federette ring girl , WWF Camera man and two yellow jacket security guards and need to find a head for a Joey Marella Referee.
Im also working on a Pipers Pit and I took my collection down from 140 to 90 and widened my ring entrance for better flow as I have to make every inch of table count , well Im still loving my jakks as theres so many options with the incredibly deep rosters , rings and accessories so heres a few pictures coming soon below .
So below enjoy a little WM2 Steel cage tag team action with the challengers The British Bulldogs managed by Captain Lou vs your WWF Tag Team Champions The Dream Team with Greg The Hammer Valentine and Bruts Beefcake leg to the ring by their Manager Luscious Johnny V and to avoid any possible cheating by either team the WWF has installed 3 referee's for this match where first man out wins rules. ( and yes thats The Hammer going for a figure four/heartbreaker move .

It would be awesome if you posted your collection on here. As for the pix-elated fans that we were talking about, maybe add random figures around the barricade to make it look more realistic like Bigeviljohn did.

As for the pix-elated fans that we were talking about, maybe add random figures around the barricade to make it look more realistic like Bigeviljohn did. My collection is down to around 140 and I have many in storage as I only have detlof space for 90 figures but Im currently focusing on multiples of each wrestler to create Defining moments like Hogan getting his ribs broke by The Weasel , Muraco and Bundy , many Pipers Pit Scenes ect . See I really only collect what I like at the moment so while I enjoy Snuka , JYD and Terry Funk they have no room in my universe as I lose focus easy so Im staying with my Passion Heavy Weight Championship , Continental and Tag Teams with only my favorites for now . I had a few key items come in today see pics below but as I said above I have 2 yellow jacket security guards , a WWF camerman and a Federette Ring Girl coming soon and maybe even a live figure crowd behind the announcers . Ill check out bigeviljohn right now thanks asparagus |

I learned along time ago bigger isnt always better and I normally go with quality over quantity as you wanna enjoy your hobby not let it control you so heres some of the tough pieces I found Asparagus .  |
