well today i got home early from work and happened to get a few new figs in the mail.after opening them up and playing with them for a bit, i went to put them away with the rest of my figures. i started sifting through my collection and decided with the nice sunlight pouring in, i would have a little phototshoot. customs are sprinkled throughout the photos, so dont get caught off guard.
FIRST OFF:
CM PUNK-the early years
ROH, ECW, ECW CHAMPION, IC CHAMPION, HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION X3
the roh is a lazy man fixup right now. im working on making a legit ROH era punk here. My ECW Punks are the handywork of Ruff Figures - so is the black/white punk.
CM PUNK-the late years
SES, NEXUS, WWE CHAMPION, BITW, VS TAKER
CM PUNK-BASICS
SES, OTL VS MYSTERIO, MACHO TRIB, BITW, RESPECT PUNK
DBRY.
the basic scan is one of mattel's best EVER. if they could just find a way to stick some shaggy hair on the scan, it would be the best dbry likeness prioduced!
SHIEKY BABY!
i saw the RF shoot where shiek gets drunk and craptalks everyone. i instantly fell in LOVE with shieky baby from that point.
TENSAI
M$M
SUITS.
paul heyman in progress.
ZIGGLER.
when i first saw ziggler in E19, i was still getting back into the wwe product, and dolph hadnt really impressed me at all yet. people were loving his figure and i thought that it was just money saved for me. after a few weeks, ziggler grew on me and i bought the figure on a RSC sale and it has actually become one of my favorite figures overall.
RYBACK.
gonna pick up E24 in a few weeks when prices settle down a bit.
CESARO!
one of my top favorite performers in the wwe right now. after he won the US championship so quickly into his wwe run, i got into his early work and have been a top fan ever since. i marked super hard when i saw the photoshoot and him holding the EUROPEAN championship!
BROCK LESSSSSSNAAARRRRRRRR.

THE GR8 1.
CACTUS JACK & MANKIND.
im looking to add the mailaway mankind to my collection once it becomes available. not interested in a dude love personally though.
HBK.
i think it was a little ironic that my very first ring gear HBK figure was the jakks raw tenth anniversary HBK in black and silver; my first mattel ring gear HBK: E19 in black and silver.
KANE.
DEADMAN.
BOSSMAN.
im a big fan of gimmicks if they are played well and fit into wrestling well. bossman's police officer/security gimmick i thought was awesome. he played the part perfectly and i really enjoyed watching bossman wrestler, even late into his hardcore championship days.

BIG DADDY COOL & NASH.
i was always a fan of the big man nash. i remember buying the old wcw toybiz outsiders two pack with nash, hall and a car door. that nash was wearing the outsider red outfit and it ended up being one of my top 5 most played with figures as a kid. the mattel recreation is just so so.....COOL.
MACHO MADNESS.
LOD.
VADER
Y2J.
good figure, but i HATE the jacket. it was a really smart concept; the glow in the dark, but the fact that the rubber is stiff really just negates all the coolness of the entire jacket. the factory used some sort of oil to help get the jacket on and it smeared my jericho's hand tattoo, so it just looks like a bruise.
KING LAWLER.
i never thought we'd get a lawler figure from mattel, let alone a lawler in ring gear, but it came out really really good; although as a little gripe i would have preferred a different attire than all black.
REGAL.
ORTON.
my only orton figure, and the only one i will probably ever have. i bonded with his black and white trunks during gameplay of the first smackdown vs raw game for the ps2. that roster sucked and orton was the only one i could really bear to play.
STARRCADE!!!!
props to Bandalero and classicdas.
SHAMROCK.
the worlds most dangerous man captured flawlessly by classicdas.
ECW GUYS.
taz by dxdeacon, other customs by classicdsas
WCW GUYS.
ANDRE.
CALLIHAN & O'HAIRE.
two of my TOP FAVORITE wrestlers OF ALL TIME. i made callihan and o'haire a team on my wwe 13 and they are a beast of a tag team.

A DOUBLE.
the infamous glitter paint custom by GDM, and my very first classicdas creation.
STING & DANIELS.
both of the TNA era, fantastic customs by skribbel24 and classicdas
