That Owen looks great! Slightly longer hair/spikes - and maybe push his head down a bit (so his neck's shorter) - and he'd be perfect.  |

Here is the next wave of Mattel Customs I've been working on. First up: The Natural Disasters.
Earthquake: I used Bundy's body and boots (painted red) and a jakks classic head. I was hoping the old jakks singlets would fit these guys but the Mattel figures were quite a bit smaller so I had to cut up the sides and shorten the top straps and sew them back together. Took some time but they look better and not so baggy.
Typhoon: I painted an Akeem legends and took the head and singlet off the jakks classic Typhoon, again modifying the singlet and reprinting some Big show boots.
   Next up is a really simple Psycho Sid recipe that I'm sure has been done before but still cool. I took the blue overalls off Hill Billy Jim, used a jakks head and vest and Bret Hart Winged Eagle title belt    Since Mattel will never be making a Chris Benoit figure, I decided to try his WM 20 gear. I didn't want to waste an elite here so it's just a basic version. Skin tone is off a bit and his chest could be bigger but my focus was on getting the pants right.    Thanks for looking |

Here's my next round of customs guys. I've been working on Warriors a lot lately. Most were made with the basic Warrior WMXXX battle pack with HHH elite TRU exclusive bodies.
Mr Perfect - I used Jack Swagger's body i think he looks a little skinny.
Harley Race - Used basic Tensei body and lots of acetone. I still have some touching up to do.
Ahmed Johnson - used basic Zeke body and head with slight mods.
Owen Hart
Hart Foundation - Needs sealer
And these are just simple fix-ups ....
Bray w/ Lantern & WWE Title
And last and certainly least.... Christmas Cena 
Thanks for looking guys!

Probably a good head without hassle for Ahmed would be Titus O'neal

I can't believe you used a TNA Hogan head. It makes him look too old!

Your customs look pretty good, and I applaud the effort, however, the paint you are using looks very chunky. Try and thin it with some water or paint thinner. The details are there but the paint seems very thick. I like the parts choices and attention to detail, though. Just thin your paint and your customs will improve a lot. You can thin it by first dipping your brush in paint, then dip it in water, and then apply it to your figure.
