I'm a long time member but don't post much or even visit these boards much anymore due to work, life, and sometimes pure laziness however I must comment on these. I love old school, and I love the Jakks RA style so needless to say, I love all of these. I don't know that I've ever seen a Kobayashi or Kansai custom before - a phenomenal job on them both. The use of a HHH (I'm assuming?) head for The Sheik was interesting. I dare say its just as good a likeness if not better than the CS version that Jakks released way back when and I love the foreign object! Kabuki? Another great job. He was one of favorites and I like the spewing green mist effect you gave him. As a fan of old Florida wrestling I truly marked out for the Sullivan, Haze, & Hart customs. I never really liked the CS Sullivan that Jakks made - you knocked it out of the park. I did an old Sullivan custom years ago but with different face paint. Your version is the one I had originally wanted to do, and yours looks tons better then how mine would have turned out.
I used to do a lot of customs of mostly old school guys (including sculpting and even dabbled a bit in casting my own repro heads). However, I haven't picked up a brush in well over 2 years now. I still have a ton of parts though, and seeing your work is quite the inspiration for me to start back up.
Who is standing behind the Bruno custom? It looks like Ted Arcidi or maybe Scott Norton, but I can't quite make it out.
Lastly, I'd be interested to know what parts you used, atleast for the heads. You can PM me if you'd prefer. Again, just an absolute fantastic job on these - hope to see more from you!
