 RVD in progress. I want to PS a yin-yang and "RVD" logo for upper body, then paint light red speckles everywhere else on attire. This is the perfect use of a jumper figure mold. Great work already |

Great work already Yeah, I'd there were any justification to use the jumper mold, out would be for RVD. All the guy DOES is jump. I'm expecting Mattel to use the jumper for the eventual Jeff Hardy, and Nakamura for Matt Hardy. |

Although seeing how often they used it so far probably also use it for braun too lol |

When Mattel did it, they used it for guys with legit aerial assaults like The Rockers, Snuka, Savage, even Koko. They DID cast bad molds here and there, but not like Mattel Retro. Kamala comes to mind. I get it, he body splashes from the middle rope, but c'mon lol |

Thanks for the awesome feedback, guys. And pretty soon I think I'm going to upgrade from the paint I'm using. Here's the New Age Outlaws, Road Dogg and Billy Gunn. Billy is just waiting on lip decals, both will need paint sealer. I used a Dremel tool to sand down the Warrior boots.   |

Great work as always...you must’ve bought up a lot of Stone Colds!
It seems the best body for customs to me, it’s versatile.
Some of the others are a bit character specific.

And yeah, it's a great general mold but is problematic too, because I really want more shapes and sizes. Id love a good fat wrestler mold, or a bare footed one..the jumpers work perfectly for some. Warrior was a match for Billy Gunn...I'm hoping for more variety to work with soon. The Sami Zayn small guy mold will be welcomed. |

I also have a sandwich bag filled with about 15-20 Stone Cold heads. It's the weirdest and most morbid looking thing lol.

Great work on these - rude steamboat and bulldog look great Thanks buddy! The only beef I have with the Bulldog is having to get the decal close to the waistline. I started having a bit of an issue. I'm thinking about doing a 4 Horsemen next since Flair is coming soon. |

Great work on these, as usual.
I really enjoy seeing what comes next.
Really like the Bulldog & the paint work on Rude’s tights in particular.

While it's cool to have so many options with the Mattel heads, I don't like the lack of diversity in bodies to use. I started digging in my old tote and found extra Hasbro's intended for customs...3 jumper Warriors, a Piper, 2 Orange Savages, a few Hulks...might as well..I'm working on a 2002 Hulk Hogan. Right now I'm trying to figure out how I want to tackle the yellow flames on the boots. Already used the Hogan face decals. I'll show the pics.. |
