This is a figure I have been waiting on for quite some time. I was so glad Jakks released a Clubber figure in the Rocky line. I was unable to find any reference pics of his entrance gear. But if you have seen WM 1 , I am sure you are familiar with it. I did put some reference pics for his in-ring attire. It has a Classic Series 4 JYD body Clubber Lang Street Gear Head Hulkamania T Shirt from the Legend VS Icon Set White Knee Pads Rocky Wheel Chair Exclusive Robe (Thanks to Rocky forum member deadpucks) Abdullah The Butcher Classic Series 14 Pants Best of WCW Billy Kidman hat It isn't 100% accurate, but the exact parts aren't avaliable. The Abdullah pants are a little big, but the design is almost perfect for what I was needing. JYD's skintone is a little different shade than Clubber's head, but not to noticeble. But overall, I am pretty happy with it. I also have the Hogan and all the heels from WM 1 in entrance gear. My next project is Jimmy Snuka in his workout clothes that he wore to the ring with Hogan and Mr. T. Not sure how I am going to pull that one of yet. Hope you like the pics.

First, this isn't really a custom. It's a head switch with added parts, and doesn't really resemble Mr. T from WM 1 costume wise. The head is good, the shirt is good, the robe is good. But you could have done so much more to make this figure accurate. Mr. T didn't wear red pants with one stripe, he wore red tights with 3 stripes. The JYD body's a poor choice cause T was jacked, and again, too dark. Kneepads had red on them as well. IIRC, his hat was yellow (at least the brim) and his shoes were gold, not white. He also had wrist tape -- this is all coming from the ref pics.
Sorry man, but I'm not really feeling it. 4/10

The stripes on the pants would be impossible for me to do. But I definately agree on the knee pads and boots.
