30th October UpdateCurrently working on a few different customs, all at different stages so thought I would share the progress Cut off the hood from the Toybiz jacket and remodeled it onto the back and given a few coats of blue to match AJ Matt Morgan - Wade Barrett body, acetoned off the logo from the shorts and his arm, headswap with jakks debut figure John Cena - Sculpted on wristbands + armband painted pink, still working on the hat. Jakks El Generico - Base coat of black on RA Christian body, sculpted the mask + put first coats on Jakks Fandango - Just started, Joey Mercury body, painted legs black so far  Hi there, I've dabbled in changing up a few Rumblers before now, but I've never made my own full scale figure. I wanted to make someone that I knew Mattel would never make themselves, so I went for my favourite non-WWE guy in AJ Styles. And Here's the finished article! I had to repaint the eyebrows and hair because the paint had faded. I'm currently working on the jacket but the Figure itself is finished and I'm really happy with it.  Let me know what you think

That looks awesome! Great job on your first custom. I always loved AJ and want to do one of him. Can't wait to see the jacket on him.

the fact you got that figure for that cheap off ebay, only to use the head is insanely irritating! ive been looking for a replacement for some time since mine got lost/sold/stolen or something, still looking for one at a decent price but tna marvel go for stupid prices now, when i used to buy them for £3-5 retail on release !!!
but the custom is nicely done although the decals are slightly pixelated. nice work!

Thanks for the feedback I have a Sabin too that I was going to use but I think the heads too small, do you need it? whats yours is yours man, do with what you please, and sabin is too small i'd say, they're a different scale, i had all the toybiz tna but sold them off (regretably) as much as id want to collect them all again prices are crazy and im out of a job atm, im just getting back ones i like, such as hardy, abyss which im glad to own again thanks though, cant wait to see more customs from you though ! just make more hi-res decals, it;s worth the effort |

Nice job on your first custom!
One suggestion for those that use decals is to make them in high-resolution, like 300 dpi or more. Yours show some digitization due to the low-res you used. They are NOT bad, but just an FYI for next time. Also, how will you move his legs with the decals overhanging his hips? Doesn't that interfere with articulation?
Keep working at it!

Is it really your first? Can't believe it is, that's how rad your custom is.

Wars Thanks for the feedback wars, I have nothing but respect for you and your work so I appreciate the advice and I will definately take it onboard to improve my future customs. As for the articulation, I didnt quite seal down the overhang of the styles to the legs, although it is shaped in the correct way, so I can still move the legs around without it damaging it |

I am actually shocked with how great this looks. I love this figure. I wish I could own it. You are inspiring me to make one.
