Daaaaaaaaaaamn! Hakushi is one of the figures that I wished we had gotten the most! Not because of his WWE run, but, because of his career in Japan. I mean, his feud with Bret Hart was good.

Good to see everyone sharing their customs.
I need to get round to doing Arn & Tully at some point if I’m going to complete an 88-94 ish era WWF.
And really cool to see the progress with your 3D modelling Showbiz, I’m fascinated to see it play out.

And really cool to see the progress with your 3D modelling Showbiz, I’m fascinated to see it play out. Me too. I'm basically building up somewhat of an inventory of sculpted heads while I wait for the 3D scanner. When that shows up, I'm scanning the body parts into Blender and will add modifications when I need to. I'd like to create silicone molds of my figs and parts so i could make resin copies of each to go along with PLA (test shot plastic). Arn is a funny one as a Hasbro. Duggan is too bulky, but you dont want too slim of a waist either. He's basically my dad's friend that drinks cheap beer in those little foam coolers who helps work on that old Ford Bronco and tells dirty jokes in the driveway. So, Valentine lol. You'll need kneepads, though. Tully? Eh, probably go for the Martel and call it a day. |

I’m definitely glad I have one of the old WCW Galoob versions of Arn Anderson |

Being in between jobs and my latest purchase from Curb stomp City Decals has helped me to get through a few works in progress. Here’s my latest:   Modern Triple H   Regular Fin Balor with the Demon King for reference I’ve got so many more on the way too which is exciting, Johnny Gargano’s decals, finishing Aleister Black, Gangrel, Boogeyman, Rey Mysterio, Undisputed Era and Bludgeon Bros are some. And when my eBay order comes in The Fiend 😎 |

cmpunkguy - love that HHH! Thanks! I definitely feel it’s a real improvement over the weird jumper version that was used in the official lineup. I loved that head scan and just had to use it for my customs. |

Yowie Wowie! My EBay order finally came in. So I dogged everything else I was working on to put together my latest custom.  The Fiend  Bray Wyatt!  The faces of Wyatt! I can’t wait until I snag one more retro bray and a Funhouse Bray figure to finish the set |

Great work man - this is so cool to watch unfold! I didn’t know Rudat had done a Savio drawing. |

Duke "The Dumpster" Droese    Trying to detail hair now. It's very tedious. I'm getting the general sculpting down, though. |

As far as customs go, I'll be stopping by Menards to pick up 3/8"x1/2" steel dowels. I bought 2 Dusty Rhodes last month for $20 each, but each has a missing R arm. I'm using beat up Ax R arms and will use the dowels in the shoulder to allow movement.

Props to customboss2016 on Ebay on a fine job making this Hulk Hogan. I really wanted a scan of this unreleased Hulk head. I used to not care for for that head scan, but after awhile it grows on you.   |

That’s the 12” Hogan head shrunk down, right? That whole custom is a thing of beauty. It’s difficult to find a Hogan without a shirt. Man, I’ll have to search eBay for one of my own.

The guy that sold me this custom once owned the actual proto head. He 3D scanned it before selling it to Zack Ryder. I knew that if I was going to get an exact scan scaled down I'd have to pick this up. |
