Nicely done on all of these. Steamboat looks great, and the fact that you transplanted the face, it made it all that much better. I really like the Steve Williams. I will be making one of him in the very near future as well. I think I'm gonna use a different head to see how it works. Great job on all of these.

amazing work dude - I thought putting the CS IRS glasses on a CS bobby heenan was a good enough JJ - but you have proven me wrong with your custom - it looks fab!

Loving the Venturers, loving the Pat Paterson.
I'll be making the J.J. Adonis and the Dr. Death myself, they are Perfect!!
Not too crazy about the Baron. Be tonnes better with the Flair flabby torso, as he was never THAT big and matching up the skintones.
Mr. Fuji....i can't make my mind up on. It's good, love the inventiveness of the jackets and coats etc.....but yet, sumthing looks wrong about them too lol Makes no sense i know. Quite enjoying the head choice too.
The only thing i absolutely hate, is your attitude. It's needs an adjustment and fast. You post on here for people's opinions and unless they're positive, they're instantly a troll and you slam them. Opinions come in good and bad forms dude, you gotta take the rough with the smooth. As they say, opinions are like bunghole, everyone has 1 and not all of em are pretty.

Opinions come in good and bad forms dude, you gotta take the rough with the smooth. As they say, opinions are like bunghole, everyone has 1 and not all of em are pretty. Nope. I think your problem lies in the fact that you think all opinions are 'valid' or 'right.' My 'attitude' was directed at an idiot who said I should've used a Great Khali or Hulk Hogan head for Jesse Ventura. The kid is like 12 and probably never saw Jesse Ventura, but, like most on here, was quick to spout off on something he knows little about. The other guy I labeled a troll left a 2 sentence reply. Bashing my work in the first, then saying it's 'OK' in the second. Give me a break. That is called spam, and we're told not to do it. (not to mention it made no sense, which is something I do like to have in a reply) My work is far from perfect. If you (or anyone) have a problem with the work, fine, let me know. I've gone back and reworked several of my customs based off of feedback from informed forum posters. (Dr. Death is getting repainted as I type-my Texas Tornado's hair was bashed so I re-did it, etc.) Now to prove I have no issues with people who think my work is flawed, I agree with your assessments on the Baron and Fuji. The Baron is still awaiting a RA 31 Flair body (the Blassie body was just a stand-in until I find one). Fuji isn't great, just a decent custom that I'd do many things different on IF I ever make one again. His sideburns need to go. I could've sculpted a more scraggly goatee. His white shirt should show more, so his vest should be wider and lower. See? Hardly what I'd call a problem with being critiqued. Thanks everyone for all the thoughtful replies... WC

Firstly, i'm not saying that all opinions are correct, but they're not incorrect either. They're exactly what they are, opinions. There is no right or wrong answer to an opinion. It's in the eye of the beyholder. As for the poor lil fella who suggested the Khali head, i thought it was unfair of you to fly off at him, as he clearly stated he'd never seen him wrestle and didn't really know what he looked like, but was giving his suggestion from the pic and i can kinda see where he was comming from, just looking at the pics. I don't want to start anything dude, i just merely think, you can be a bit more tactful and subdued in your replies. Like your reply to me, just felt forceful and very short with me. Just calm down dude. I know it'd your work and when you've put time and effort into sumthing, it means sumthing to you, but being snappy won't help you get the honest, thoughtful replies you want. and on a side not, can't wait to see that Baron, if it comes out like i expect, i will be doing the same thing. I'm guessing it's the only Wrestling Legends figure head? and just 1 more side note, dunno if your any good with torso modding, but when the Baron head goes on the flair, the neck might be a tad long for such a small head, if you can drop the neck a bit too, it would help the figure, i think.

BUMP For the WWE's first Diva... Wendi Richter! I loved her back in the day and hated it when she just disappeared off WWF TV. She was a victim of Vince's original 'screwjob.' Firstly, i'm not saying that all opinions are correct, but they're not incorrect either. They're exactly what they are, opinions. There is no right or wrong answer to an opinion. It's in the eye of the beyholder. I told you that was the root of the 'problem.' There are right and wrong opinions... I'd love to debate it, PM me if you wanna keep going

Great job on the Wendy, she looks spot on. Nicely done on the repaint for Dr. Death as well. Keep it up.

I thought about making that statement in the post to avoid 15 posts about the skin tones, but I assumed people remembered that about her. I loved her on the cartoon, but especially in the Cyndi Lauper videos like "She Bop" and "(Goonies R) Good Enough." She made the lil condominium grow, LOL. WC

great joc WC!
On richter i did think it might be pantyhose but the color extended towards her back, that may be the reason why there were posts about skintone differences

Which parts other than her legs don't match? Her face & forearms match up to the Trish Stratus torso nicely (IMHO). I did have to paint her upper back due to someone chewing on it (I think) is that what's off? Help me out now. ;D WC

ye dude, if u look at the pic of her back, you can see compared to the arms, it is a tad darker. Not as dark as the stockings, but darker.

Yeah, like I said, I had to paint her back as her previous owner chewed her up pretty good. I tried to match her front skin tones, but being rather colorblind, it's kinda hard to do. I guess it's off, LOL. My point was only that her legs were supposed to be darker than her top exposed areas due to the pantyhose. But not her back. ;D WC

whose head did you use for Pat Patterson? ? The Rocky referee, Lou Filipo--I think... As for Issue 3, we'll see, I didn't get much of a response for Issue 2, so I'm not in any hurry, you know? I'm glad the few people who 'watched it' like it. But I did make most of my customs for my pic fed... Warsman
