Currently writing up a review of all this. It's worth noting the match you labeled XWE is actually ZCW, Old Spice's fed.

This was a pretty awesome turn out. This was a good show. Great job guys.
-Tyler, That match was so nice you showed it to us twice.
-WWEJ That was a cool little match, work on bending every joints of your figures. Try to really work on your posing and maybe even work on your arena. I did see improvement in this match. The pacing of it and posing was a bit better. Keep up the good work.
-CMLLJ Very fun little match.
-Ziggly I have watched this match about 3 or 4 times, I wish you had have made a new match. Are you still retired or what?
-BDW I saw so much improvement in this match. Posing and everything has improved a lot. However keep on working on it. I liked this match. That Crack Smack name made me laugh pretty hard.
-ASW That is an awesome Sting figure. This match was pretty cool man. It made me get a cool nostalgic feel. The posing could be improved a lot however.
-WELCOME BACK! WELCOME BACK! WELCOME BACK! Welcome back Mikey. Great to see you return. That was a cool debut to Chimu. The arena looks cool man. I like that ring. Your arena really makes Chimu unique from every other fed. I marked out hard when I listened to Bryan's theme and saw him in the sweater. Great stuff man. My only complaint is the posing wasn't the best and can be improved, however I feel like you will improve over time. You are probably still getting used to posing mattels compared to Jakks.
GREAT STUFF GUYS!

Figamania's finally here..
All right, to start off...I'm noticing your photography is rather blurry for some reason. I'll try not to let that get to me. (Mandatory comment about wanting spike dudley)
Claudio vs Ziggler...this I can get behind
Posing's pretty good. Some nice spots like the transition into the swing. Nice match. Just gets me
more hyped for your PPV.
WWEJ....
Presentation here is meh. Posings good so far. Like the storyline recaps. Match starts...I like that it has a bit of history to it. Surprisingly decent posing for basics. Pacing is a little off...but not so much that they're acting like spot monkeys. Overall, posing wasn't the greatest but far from bad. Story's seem decent enough. Pretty good. You're on the right track.
CMLLJ
I remember last time I saw this, I was surprised at how good the posing you got out of nonarticulated figs was. I can't help but find humor in the fact they're in a GI Joe base..lol. The trash talk before the match is pretty good. Don't have much else to say, surprisingly good posing for these. Good effort. Only thing that could make me enjoy this more is if you perhaps improve the presentation a bit. Just a little off putting to see carpet in the background.
ZCW
Sucks that Ziggy ended up having to stop pic fedding...he was getting pretty good. Match isn't the greatest, but to me it's more of a sign of what could've been. Only real gripe besides the alright posing is it seems a little too fast paced, especially since it's 4 minutes long and they already started the ladder spots 30 seconds in. Either way, an alright match.
BDW
All I'll say about my match is, I didn't actually go all out. I definitely put effort into it, but this isn’t the peak of New Jack matches in BDW. Future matches will include more weapons, and more blood. Heck, I’ll probably revisit the Jack/Brodie Lee matchup in the future…this was just to start Da Hood vs New Jack.
ASW: I actually liked your pre reboot fed. Frame rate is kinda hard to watch here. On one hand, it's gotta be slow enough so you can read the commentary. You're making it a little too slow here...or maybe I read way too fast. It's pretty good so far besides a couple odd poses (like the tie up) and a weird german suplex. Probably gonna be watching this at x1.25 speed if it doesn't affect my reading of the commentary. Like that sting custom. Death drop 2 minutes in? Y u no pace? It's a 13 minute match, and he's already wondering what it could possibly take to put him down? You shouldn't be asking "How did sting kick out?" 5 minutes in. Overall...it had the potential to be amazing.
It had the potential to be suspenseful. The slow frame rate (even when taking the commentary into consideration) and pacing, even if it wasn't off enough to go into spot monkey territory, kinda ruined this for me. You've got all the groundwork laid out to be a great fed, but not quite there yet. Fix the small problems and you'll go far.
GWV....god I love Richard's matches. Almost all of them are amazing, and this should be no different. Posing was fantastic. The match had a fast pace without feeling like a spot fest. I honestly am not familar with Gargano so I can't tell how accurate his moveset is, but Brodie's on point. Amazing. A few great spots throughout, and a great finishing stretch made this possibly my favorite match of the night.
CHIMU..high expectations and I'm sure they'll be met. Posing's pretty good so far. Pretty good, especially for basics. I'm liking this match. GTS pose looked incredibly awkward, and I couldn't even tell what it was before I read the commentary. Granted, he was doing it on a basic so it couldn't be helped. Pretty good match. Posing was surprisingly good for how long you've been out of the game. My expectations were met for the most part, and I'm ecstatic to see your new fed.
Overall, great Figamania. My favorite match of the show was Lee vs Gargano. Great job guys.

See, if I'd done this in the "traditional" format, you probably wouldn't of complained where certain moves happened. But because it's a video, it's "too soon" to do these moves. It seems to me that I only get negative criticism every time I post anything. |

Don't just blame it on the video feds, or it's just because you are who you are. Just try to learn from his advise and improve your fed. |

I crap on Bricks work all the time, and this was his best match yet as a result. but he can still work on his posing. Gonna put up a full reply soon fellas |

Looks like a good turnout. Congrats to everyone who handed in! GWFDecent way to start the show. These two are guys who you can put into a good match whatever they do. Such good characters. WWEJI like that you included a back story to the match. Legs were stiff on a lot of the poses, but I liked the use of display bases as posing aids. Some cool spots in the match. CMLLJHas to be said it wasn't my favourite. I'd rather you put more effort into the poses on your WWEJ fed than try to get two feds out there. Sorry.  ZCWI do like a good ladder match and this was fairly enjoyable. Nice mix of wrestlers. Didn't think the flag as the ring mat added anything to it. Made it look a bit scruffy, but the match itself was enjoyable. BDWHarper fits your fed down to a tee. You have improved so much over this year. The match was a really good brawl, and a nice way of tying your next show in with this match. ASWTwo classic wrestlers in a classic-style match. It's a shame your fed never really took off, as you always seemed to be planning it so much and building the roster and storylines for it. A highlights show would be a cool way to do it, rather than fully text fed. The frame transition was slow, but a solid job overall. GWFHarper has certainly been a busy boy at Figamania. A perfect example of how to pace and produce a match for a YouTube fed. Didn't need commentary, although I did always like your post-match/show promos. CHIMU ProNice production and setup. I enjoyed seeing how well you posed with that Barrett Basic, as I used to hate using it to pose with. The match was obviously really good, and I look forward to seeing which other teams will compete in the tag tournament, as Bryan and Punk look dangerous. Great effort overall from everyone. A nice mixture of matches and it's good to see that despite the board being in a lull, there are people out there still willing to produce matches and contribute to joint PPVs. The board could do with a revamp and some fresh ideas in 2015, and hopefully we can get a community going on here again. Nice one to Tyler Black for organising Figamania. Good work, buddy!  |

Really nice turnout for the show, which is a plus. I do think something needs to come along and help shake things up around here, raise the bar a little bit and get people pushing one another again. That said, this was a very sharp turn out and diverse too, which I love.
GWF:
Certainly a great match, arguably the best match on the show IMO. But there's something about your pics that's off. Nothing seems sharp. I wish it was a bit sharper. The "cloudy" look has it's place, but we still need to see some sharper details too. Loved the GIFs though, added to the match and made it stand out in a good way. Prefer that to video all day long.
WWEJ:
I don't care to scroll through pics. Just never enjoyed that. Especially when there are so many. Another fed that could deal with a sharper camera. I feel like some of these feds from 5-10 years ago had sharper cams and that was using cheap webcams. Maybe the pics should be smaller, I dunno. Anyway, LOVE the Rhodes entrance. Such an easy entrance area, but looks sharp and different. A bit too much recap in the beginning, but I do like that you set up the story. Solid match with some good posing, but arena and photos are a bit rough.
CMLLJ:
Same issues as previous, but worked better here for some reason. I kept wanting Sarge to put them in the Camel Clutch. Why not do a GI Joe fed? Seems you have the perfect ring for it. Amusing comedy, with decent wrestling for immobile figures. My only issue would be a few of the opening sequences were a bit too basic. Those figures were made to do headscissors.
BDW:
I don't know if you were trying to pay homage to the fact that New Jack rarely used all the stuff in his weapons bins or not, but I was bit disappointed that most that stuff just laid there. For a hardcore match, this needed more weapons shots. Solid posing all around. A bit baffling that New Jack won, to be honest, but I figure that was more to set up Da Hood run in post match. That was fun, given that those guys are largely a Gangstas riff. Great posing, wonderful blood effect and only real complaint would be an occasional out of focus pic. Super fun match.
CHIMU PRO:
Didn't feel like a PPV main event to me. Felt like a main event to a smaller TV show, like Main Event or something. Not that it's a bad thing, just the vibe I got. It was a great match with some fun posing though. Good back and forth, with perhaps a bit too much domination from Punk/Bryan, but it was good to see Gabriel and Barrett get in some offense as well. Solid match all around.
When I get time, I'll try to check out the Youtube feds. Not really my bag, but the Sting/Flair match intrigues me.

I cant understand why you gave the main event to a fedder who hasn't supported the board all year and comes in for a show and gets the main event while other fedders have supported the board all year and deserved the main event. Same thing was done last year for champ and he was never seen again around here. No disrespect to mikey but that's exactly what is the problem around here. Good show really glad to see the amount of turn ins this year and a surprisingly solid show. BDW was really fun to watch as was the Castagnoli vs Cesario match. Sting vs Flair in a cage was extremely entertaining even though I felt the pics were too dark. Chimu Pro was ok, way too short and too much talking/entrance stuff and the match felt rushed and short for the main event of a PPV, let alone the flagship show of the board. I was glad to see Mikey updated his setup after years of the same thing, and the pic quialty was well but the posing was super stiff and I felt it was rushed to put up for the show. The match of the show yet again for the second year was GWV and I really feel he should of deserved the main event last year as well as this year with all the support he has shown for the board in the past two years. A really well done match perfect length and a really overall well done match from the pacing, posing, action and a great finish!!! Match of the night even though I am partial to the Flair Sting match.
Good show fellas glad to see a good turnout hopefully the board doesn't fall prey to the usual winter drought and I will edit when I watch the rest of the matches!!!! Congrats to everyone!!!

Good show fellas glad to see a good turnout hopefully the board doesn't fall prey to the usual winter drought and I will edit when I watch the rest of the matches!!!! Congrats to everyone!!! I understand where you're coming from John i really do, but i felt like, who do i put as the main event? I've given Asparagus the main event at least twice this year and always because he's earned it with the quality matches he puts on, but as much as i enjoyed this match, it wasn't my favorite of his. I'll never give myself the main event because i feel like thats tacky. Brick put on a very good match my favorite of his ever and the first one i can say he really got me invested in, but i can't exactly put New Jack vs Brodie Lee on last. I considered putting Sting vs Flair on last but felt it was mising just a little something to go on last. Then we had Mikey, guy had one of the most popular feds of all time most of the guys here that remember him love him and even tho he was a tad rusty it's still Mikey. He also had made the effort to reply to shows here and there in the last few months. It's kind of like if the CWA back for the next PPV, The match could be an absolute stinker (Which i highly doubt would happen from you but just for arguements sake) no matter what unless Warsman swoops in and steals your spot light, you're going on last  |

First of all, I'm so sorry about so many grammar errors in my subtitles. I'm trying to improve that.
Thanks for all who commented on my feds, both praise and criticism. Caught everything and learn more, to constantly improve the quality of matches.
What a amazing show! Two Brodie Lee matches? I love this guy! Sad to see he lost both...
I love to see how you put your favourite wrestlers to compete. When we would see Justin Gabriel in a main event?
Finally, congratulations for Tyler Black, for this amazing presentation! This card with wrestlers photos was 10/10!

RWFNew Jack barely using weapons was kind of a problem and I realized it, but I kinda wanted to make my biggest match of the year a bit more watchable. So I still had him use weapons, but not as often. Half of this has to do with I just finished my New Jack custom a couple days ago and didn't have the time to go to Hobby Lobby to get all the household appliances I wanted him to use as weapons. Old ZekeIt doesn't matter whether you do a death drop within 20 pictures of a 200 picture match or 3 minutes into a 13 minute match, it's still too soon, and I still would've mentioned it. Criticism is the first step to improvement, like Tyler Black said.

Thanks for all the comments on my match so far - I used this as a good chance to kick things off, and get rid of some of my ring rust, so I'm taking any comments, especially about my posing, into account.
As far as the "main event" goes, it's nice to be recognised in that way, but I do feel a bit awkward about it, and I agree with what John said, maybe it would have been better to have Rich or Brick up top, being two of the most active, contributing members over the last year. But hey, it is what it is, and hopefully this time next year I'll have been one of the most active members.
Hopefully get a chance to watch everyone's matches and leave a proper reply over the weekend, but congrats to everyone for getting their matches done!

Wow...it's been awhile. But Freedomania is up and Mikey's back? Maybe I need to come by here more often. Let's see if I remember how to do this.
GWF - Ziggler vs. Claudio...nice. I'm sure most of the feds are now Mattel. Pics are a bit blurry throughout but I can definitely follow. Nice match so far. Wow...gifs in the middle? What kind of new technology is this? Is this commonplace now? It works great for Claudio's swings, I must say. Nice going. Love seeing Claudio as the big man manhandle Ziggler, but in my opinion, you made Claudio maybe a bit too dominant. Would maybe have liked to see a few more false finishes, where Ziggler almost got the win. Either way, a nice quick and enjoyable match.
WWEJ - Hmm. Seems like we're just in the middle of a fed, with storylines and backstage stuff. Your arena set up seems to be pretty thrown together. I would have liked to see a bit more effort in disguising that this fed is taking place inside a house. Posing is also pretty nonexistent. But I do like that you seem to be very passionate about your fed, putting a lot of work into the backstage / storyline aspect. Overall, you seem to still be starting out, but if you keep up that effort, you will grow.
CMLLJ - ...I don't know what's going on. Is Mark McGuire in this fed? Why are you using figures that have no points of articulation? I do like seeing Blue Demon Jr. though in a fed. Maybe I don't get it because I'm coming into this blind, but are you the new Simon?
ZCW - I like the idea of the match, but I've never been big on "YouTube feds." Maybe I'm just old school. Also, I can see your hand in a few poses. I give you credit for trying to do aerial pics, but seeing string in the pic is actually better than seeing your hand.
BDW - First off, I love seeing that you have an audience. No matter how big or small, having an physical audience always adds to an arena in my opinion. Brodie Lee vs. New Jack...this should be a fun match. I don't think I've ever seen New Jack in a fed before...I may be wrong, but either way, it's a nice treat. You really captured the feel of a New Jack "brawl", but I would have liked to have seen a balcony dive. It just feels wrong not to have one in a New Jack match. String would have also helped, but most of the moves like the power bombs and pile drivers worked pretty well for not having mid air shots. Overall, a fun match, and nice to see Brodie bleed as a little bonus.
ASW - Another YouTube fed. I don't mean to bash you or your fed, I just don't really like the format of video feds. I like to be able to watch the match at my own pace. But I can tell you are putting a lot of effort into your fed. The arena has that 80s early 90s feel to it, and you shot it so the crowd looks massive, and the arena isn't all lit up like current WWE. The match seemed well done, I just don't like the format of not being able to navigate the match at my own pace.
GWV - Another YouTube fed. Woah...you're playing Loser over the match!? Love Beck. Haha...love the streamers. Makes it feel nice and indy. I don't like the format, but you at least have the pictures go by quick to make it feel like a fast paced match. I can see string, but I 'm just happy you're using it. Gargano definitely needs string for his arsenal. Love how you had a bunch of action and big spots, like indy matches do. Stuff like Brodie big booting Gargano off a springboard looked sick. Overall, this was both good and bad for me. Good in that I love seeing indy feds, but bad in that it was a video. I like classic format, read at your own pace, commentatry feds. But I would check out more of your stuff in the future as I like indy feds the most.
Chimu Pro - MIKEY! So glad to see you on the bill. I know I'm going to enjoy this. Wade and Gabriel vs. Punk and Danielson. Man, that tablet titan tron works so well. Man, pic fedding sure has changed. So nice to see mid air shots with string edited out! That lariat shot by Wade was awesome. Nice dives too. But I must say, I miss the old white arena with the two or three guard rails. But this one looks much cleaner. I just miss the old one for nostalgia. Nice quick match. I really hope this is the start of a new fed for you. I would really like seeing you back. I'm going to have to start checking this place more often. I like your renewed passion to be active again. I'm watching some PWG shows I got for Christmas with the Winter Sale, and I'm feeling like maybe FIW should get back on track. I'll have to look into it.
Overall, I am very happy to see Freedomania still going on each year. This was an enjoyable show for the most part. Thanks to everyone involved.

Titch: WWEJ I like that you included a back story to the match. Legs were stiff on a lot of the poses, but I liked the use of display bases as posing aids. Some cool spots in the match. CMLLJ Has to be said it wasn't my favourite. I'd rather you put more effort into the poses on your WWEJ fed than try to get two feds out there. Sorry. RWF: WWEJ: I don't care to scroll through pics. Just never enjoyed that. Especially when there are so many. Another fed that could deal with a sharper camera. I feel like some of these feds from 5-10 years ago had sharper cams and that was using cheap webcams. Maybe the pics should be smaller, I dunno. Anyway, LOVE the Rhodes entrance. Such an easy entrance area, but looks sharp and different. A bit too much recap in the beginning, but I do like that you set up the story. Solid match with some good posing, but arena and photos are a bit rough. CMLLJ: Same issues as previous, but worked better here for some reason. I kept wanting Sarge to put them in the Camel Clutch. Why not do a GI Joe fed? Seems you have the perfect ring for it. Amusing comedy, with decent wrestling for immobile figures. My only issue would be a few of the opening sequences were a bit too basic. Those figures were made to do headscissors. brm: WWEJ - Hmm. Seems like we're just in the middle of a fed, with storylines and backstage stuff. Your arena set up seems to be pretty thrown together. I would have liked to see a bit more effort in disguising that this fed is taking place inside a house. Posing is also pretty nonexistent. But I do like that you seem to be very passionate about your fed, putting a lot of work into the backstage / storyline aspect. Overall, you seem to still be starting out, but if you keep up that effort, you will grow. CMLLJ - ...I don't know what's going on. Is Mark McGuire in this fed? Why are you using figures that have no points of articulation? I do like seeing Blue Demon Jr. though in a fed. Maybe I don't get it because I'm coming into this blind, but are you the new Simon? Ok, I will try to reply all the answers about my matches... Brick: Thanks for the words and tips about WWEJ. About CMLLJ be in a GI Joe’s Brazilian base, I got the idea of doing a mexican Tribute To The Troops since 2013 but never had time to do it, then the GI Joes demanded that the CMLLJ’s match would be in the secret base of them... Titch: I hate these Mattel’s knee and elbow pads, they make it very difficult poses of legs! This is one of the reasons why the legs were so stiffy. I'm sorry if you did not like the CMLLJ. It's a pity. I got the idea of making a CMLLJ schedule in WWE molds in 2015 and do WWEJ struggles of this year, because of the difficulty in achieving good poses. Also because I lose a lot of time to make the entire structure that requires WWEJ, unlike CMLLJ, in which I take only an hour to make a good fight and have so much fun with this! RWF: I used my cell phone’s camera, this is the reason that some photos do not get too clear, I'm sorry... I've thought about making a GI Joes FED, but my figures are very old! 25 have some other age 30! I usually call them GI "Jolds". The Slaughter barely stood up, which is why I had to put him on the ropes a few times. This is why he were not be able to make a Camel Clutch in Blue Demon Jr. The idea for the end of the match was with GI Joes taking Hijo Del Santo in the stretcher, but the figures could not stand and hold the stretcher while... br: My idea is just that my FED shows the house. This is why I use some backstage angles close to plates, cups and other items. Mark McGuire was only a guest commentator, he is not part of CMLLJ. I use figures without articulation for one little reason: I just LOVE these Mexican figures! In 2015, I will do more and more events with them, even without being able to take good pictures because the lack of articulation. We have already started in January with the Royal Rumble of CMLLJ! I don’t know who is Simon, but I can assure you I'm not the new Simon. Finally, I thank you and apologize if I failed to respond to someone. Continue helping me improve my pictures and stories. A Happy New Year to everybody! |
