Hello fellow customizers! This is my first post on this forum so I'll introduce myself first 
I'm a 24 years old lady from the Netherlands, currently living in Belgium. I've been collecting dolls for my whole life (mainly Asian Ball Jointed Dolls in my teen years
) and been customizing them too.
I haven't been watching wrestling shows for that long, I think since October last year so I'm a bit of a noob when it comes to recognizing wrestlers here :/
My first project was a birthday present for a good friend of mine. He is a wrestler named Robbie Maddox from Belgium, so I thought..for his 30th birthday...why not make his own wrestling figure!
Since he looks a lot like Sami Zayn (might be brothers from another mother..) I took his figure as a basis.
Regular Sami
...
Robbie Maddox!
Details! The beard and chest hair is flocking material, usually used for nails ( I dont get why women would want fluffy nails but ok..)
I painted the Lonsdale boots and tattoo with regular acrylic paint. The stripes on the legging are pencil stripes.
I added velcro on the back of the packaging so he can get the figure out and into the package without damaging the cardboard. This was last moment idea so it looks quite bad :/ but I'll work it out better next time.
Paige's NXT belt used for the Flemish Championship Belt. If I had more time I would've added a clay layer to flatten the NXT letters but oh well..
Aaaaand the final result! Robbie Maddox' birthday present! I think he was quite happy with it
Really enjoyed working on this small scale, so I'm definitively going to do more customs!
