A couple of things I’m working on... Tito Santana  Hitting his Flying Forearm on Bad News Brown  The very early beginnings of an arena, starting with the ringside mat area   |

Is that mat pliable?

What exactly do you mean by pliable? It’s not rock solid....it’s a approx. 2’ x2’ camping mat, with the jigsaw edges trimmed off. |

Just thinking, every 2-3 inches, depending on spacing, maybe make an indention from ringside to edge of the mat.. in order to look like it's multiple pieces fitted together. Even possibly slit one spot, affix velcro to the bottom so it can be "pulled up." For what it's worth, I love what you've done.. |

Yeah I was actually planning to cut out two mats, that could be pulled up for piledrivers onto the concrete floor! But maybe I could score lines for each mat...I’d just be a little apprehensive so I didn’t cut through & ruin its sturdyness! |

Looks really nice. |

What are you going to use for audience? I know Retrostars used old Hasbros painted dark grey. That could get pricey, though! Awesome Tito. I have a Mattel Santana, but I have to modify the head. He looks like an ostrich on the Orton figure lol |

Cheers mate, I’m pleased with how things are turning out.
Yeah, no way I’m gonna ‘waste’ my hasbros/retros by painting them black for the crowd! 😂
Their set up does look cool though.
I’ve printed off some old video game crowds, but they look pretty crap to be honest. But I might still rig it all together to see if it looks any better as a whole.
Yeah I heard somewhere that some of the Mattel heads sit a bit high on retros, & I feel like some look a little small too. So I’ve tended to go for Jakks heads so far. Mattel heads seem just the right size for hasbros.

 I finally got around to doing the tattoos on my CM Punk custom The retro series got me back into collecting the Hasbro style of WWE figure and CM Punk is one that I would Loved to have seen in the retro line up. The fact that there is an almost zero chance of that is what got me into doing these customs in the first place |

Similar for me, it was the retro that got me buying stuff as an adult - and first port of call was making customs of the guys hasbro didn’t make! |

Another awesome set of customs. Do you display all of your customs once completed? If so, could we get a pic of your display?

So, I was thinking about using PS to make the old Undertaker "Undertake Em All" ad, but with Big Evil. Then use all of my 2002 era figures. I basically finished the entire roster for that year outside of a lower card guy or two. |
