I need some help….any freebirds fans out there? I’m planning on making a 90-92 WCW Fabulous Freebirds, but struggling to decide what attire to go with. I’ve never been a fan of them, but they need to be represented in my 91/92 WCW custom collection. I remember them best with Badstreet, wearing the black with pink/green swirls - like the galoob figures had. But wondering whether to do something different…. I was going to use Brutus #1 for Garvin, with either Adam Bomb or Mankind retro head; made me wonder about their pink attire with black patches - but then I’d need to try to colour match the Hayes. And can I get away with leaving the long gloves - like he wore as a single? This shouldn’t be taking up as much of my head space as it is! 😂🤦🏻♂️  |

I think it would translate well to Hasbro style figures and is very toy-etic. Regarding the gloves, if Mattel can monster mash figures for official releases so can you! It’s your world, and your creation!! 😊 |

The other toyetic version of the Freebirds could maybe be the red & blue tights & the flag face paint - but that’s not really the era I’m going for. Looks like I’ll end up doing the galoob attire - I just wanted something not too involved! 😭 Well the Hayes elite turned up today, so I’ve removed the head and have chosen a body; just need to decide which head for Garvin….any thoughts people? |

Nice jacket man! Where is that from? Or did you make it? It’s actually from a website called classictvtoys.com I can’t afford a lot of figures so instead of sculpting on a suit I use clothing so I can ditch them out. |

Interesting….I’m in need of a couple of dark blue flatcaps and see they do something similar for 8” figures. Just by the time shipping to U.K. is factored in, it’s a fairly expensive guess as to whether they’ll fit. We need to start a thread (or include it here) of clothing/ accessories from other toy lines that work with hasbros/retros. I’ve been thinking of trying playmobil stuff…. |

Appreciate your opinions; think i’m gonna go with the Foley head as it’ll match in better with my Hayes. Might try sculpting some shades on though. Hayes is the elite head on a Stone Cold retro - but i’m gonna switch the arms out so he can kind of do the dancing/finger pointing/strut! |

Please show some pics when you’ve finished. |

Hello all. It’s been a while since I worked on any custom figures. I have a few lined up that I’ve been planning, just haven’t been taking the time. However I just finished my first AEW retro custom:  He’s better than you and you know it  Maxwell Jacob Friedman MJF! I’ll be looking into his tattoo later for the finishing touch |

I must have done like 70 odd customs since the last time I posted one here….maybe I’ll post a group shot and then if anyone’s interested I can do close ups of specific requests.. |

That Aleister is SO good! Man, I really wished we could have gotten some more of the current WWE guys as retros. Really wish we could have seen the Fiend.
