Thanks guys! Amazing! Bronco buster's body looks like macho/martel one isn't it? Bronco is indeed a Martel styled body, and Gory is a heavily modified Ax figure |

I hope this doesn't come off the wrong way because these are great in detail, but wtf are these?

I don't know but modelling skills like that could quite easily make realistic prototypes

No disrespect meant to anyone who has ever posted something here (myself included), but if every custom had this level of detail, I would literally never ever leave the customs thread. These are phenomenal!

cheers everyone. The response so far for these have been great, and new characters will be added to the roster in time to come I would like to echo the sentiment expressed by a few others here, and ask: what are these, exactly? Are they characters from a comic book, or "actual" wrestlers? Are they wrestling moves embodied by monsters? Or were you just messing around one day and accidentally created them? They are far and away the best customs I've ever seen, but of I don't know what hey are, it's hard to know why I should spend the amount of money you're asking for. |

simply put, these are original characters that were conceptualized and sculpted by me. I grew up loving the hasbro wwf line and wanted to incorporate wrestling ethos with my craft. I used hasbro stock bodies, modified them and sculpted hands and heads from scratch. There is a general theme running with these characters in that they're all named after wrestling maneuvers, and have animal motifs that I felt related to their names. And yes, I certainly understand that the price point for these is way more than retail figures that you can buy off the shelf, but I do feel that the amount of time and effort that I spent creating these piece justify the cost. The pieces are all sculpted, individually hand cast and painted by myself, and the edition size for each character is much more limited than your run-of-the mill mass produced figures. The reason why I chose to post them up on the forums is that when I first started customizing figures some 10 years back, wrestlingfigs was the very first forum that I became a part of to share my creations, a really awesome community where I could showcase my works and learn from others. And now that I'm doing (somewhat) wrestling-themed pieces again, I wanted to get back to my "roots" and share these figures with the place that first encouraged me to pursue customizing and sculpting. Hope that clears up your queries! cheers everyone.

Actually, that completely clears up everything I was wondering, thanks for the info! Like I said, without a doubt you do some great work, sometimes a little context is needed is all.

Beyond words. This is so great. The ethos you've created with these two figures has me already chomping at the bit for more. Love the idea that they're wrestling moves with Animal motifs. Can't wait to see things like "Anaconda Vice" "Chicken Wing" "Cobra Clutch". AMAZING work!

A-MA-ZI-NG CUSTOMS BRO!!!!!  I'm impressed with the job you have done especially with the parts created by sculpting. Also your extensive paintings reminds me some Games Workshop's professionals. Keep us informed for new projects and keep up the good work   . I'm a fan of you from now  .

These are just awesome. Can't wait to see more. It's nice seeing something different and original. You say they will be limited edition, but I didn't see on the website how many of each you made/will make. It's showing that Bronco Buster is sold out already, so I'm guessing that it wasn't too many. Either that or these are super popular.
Also are you numbering them 1 of xx, 2 of xx, etc.?

thank you for the compliments everyone. Will be working on some new pieces over the coming months where time permits. These are just awesome. Can't wait to see more.

It's showing that Bronco Buster is sold out already, so I'm guessing that it wasn't too many. Either that or these are super popular. Also are you numbering them 1 of xx, 2 of xx, etc.? This particular colour way of Bronco Buster and Gory Bomb were limited to 15 pieces each. They will all be individually numbered on the bottom of their boot. |
