That's extremely impressive. I'd buy that in a heartbeat!  Also, is that an "All In" Jericho figure coming together in the last pic? |

I'd buy that in a heartbeat! Also, is that an "All In" Jericho figure coming together in the last pic? That'll be Tinieblas, a luchador, it's in scale with the rest of the line standing as tall as Konnor (6' 4''). Could be either Sr. or Jr. because they're almost the same size. |

Started on alternate barbed wire colors  For anyone wondering about the process: •I pop the legs off to paint the surfaces between the thigh swivel. There's nothing uglier than painting legs and seeing flesh when you turn the thigh. •When the joints are a bright color (they were flesh here) I spray them with a quick coat of black VHT, that way if paint rubs off there's black underneath instead of some crazy bright eyesore color. •I brush on a quick coat of flat black to the pants because paint sticks better to flat paint (it has microscopic texture). •For these pants I made lavender (purple with a bunch of white in it) and mixed a little red into it so it's not so pale. |

Legs and arms pop off easily?
I've never tried. I figured they would break.

Some figures are made with crappy plastic or have thin joints, those do run the risk that you might break or tear them, but WWE figs are resilient.

These are all commissioned so I don't get to keep any of them. I do them for roughly $25 to $50, depending on difficulty.

Here it is after sealing and with the boots on. I liked the satin purple, matte black and gloss metal silver lines, but making everything satin/semi-gloss with the sealer gives it a more finished look. I left the boots matte because I think they contrast well with the shinier pants.   |

The hair looks really dark on the purple tights one but the paint application itself looks great. I really love the paint work on all of them. Good job, man.
