Wow, this looks really good! I see you used parts from the Jakks ttl.
What jacket did you use? It seems to fit good and doesn't look as strange as Mattel's.

The only parts I used from the Jakks figure was the hair and the flannel. The leather jacket is a custom jacket I got on eBay for Marvel figures such as The Punisher. Only issue is that it is a tad tight with the elbow pads and such. Thanks for the compliment. This is actually my first ever Mattel custom so I am stoked it turned out so well.

Dude, this is pretty damn rad.
Looks factory and the shirt came out great. My only suggestion would be to make more.

Honestly I’ve been out of collecting for a really long time so I have zero Mattel figures so my overheard is terrible on it. I had to buy multiple Mattel Elites for one small part on them. Example being 20 bucks on a Dean Malenko just to cut off his legs. If someone supplied the parts I could bang these out for pretty reasonable. I actually think I want to make myself another one maybe 99 era ECW with Ankh over his eye. I think I can improve upon what I did on this one. I truly learned a lot doing it, my last custom was probably two decades ago. |

Sometimes you just have to look for fodder online (or on the classifieds here once you hit 50 non-spam posts) or just get the whole figure depending on the amount of the figure you need. That being said, you have the talent, all you need now are resources. |

I’ve a pretty artistic guy and do a lot of other creative stuff such as drawing, painting, woodworking, so the creative process isn’t new to me. This is just a new outlet. I had a lot of fun doing it and plan on doing more. Look forward to becoming a bigger part of the boards here. |

DUUUUUUUUUUUUUDE.
That looks amazing! Who would've thought that a John Cena head makes a good Raven custom?
We're both huge Raven fans - I like you.

As you can tell I’m a HUGE Raven mark. As for the head, as I was making it I wasn’t so sure it would work but once I added the hair and painted the beard on it really does work well. Thanks again  |

Aside from the eyebrows, I think it’s remarkable

Awesome job. The classic ECW World Title is a nice touch.
On the topic of Raven I just recently purchased his ECW Thrill Zone figure MOC.

I ended up just buying the figures I knew I needed. |
