I was playing around with the latest Ricardo Rodriguez figure when I realized I could pop his arms off like a build-a-figure, when I saw the white torso and bowtie underneath, something snapped in my brain and I decided to make these. Thankfully, my Walmart had a plenty of this series to choose from.
I just painted the arms white, bowtie and buttons black, and it looks awful because I don't have any idea what paint to use that won't get all gunked up in the joints or flake off with use. I also used Sculpey on a Ricardo head for the Raw ref's bowl cut and comedic moustache. The 90's WWF wrestling games are really what turned me on to the whole wrestling scene(back in 1996) after I realized that they were fighting games where brutalizing the official is a thing you can do, I was hooked.
First is the Super Wresltemania referee, I don't think you can beat him up like the others, but I couldn't make the other two and exclude him
Second, the Royal Rumble referee, you could beat him up and run him over ad nauseum.
And last but not least, the Raw referee, oh my god how I loved to torture this guy. I used to repeatedly run him over, punch him in the head, and finally make him quit his job!
I can imagine while he's laying there, Vince shouts into his earpiece "YOU'RE FIRED!", and the refs says, "That's it, I'm outta here...".
