Official Build N Brawl Thread

I thought that some of you might be interested in a new Build N Brawl custom using WWE Rumblers. I have been stuck trying to figure out how to construct a head for a custom Alberto Del Rio, and noticed that the Rumblers heads will work with this line. Let me know what you guys think.

wow those look really cool...

Looks really good imo

one of the most underrated lines ever that has come from either jakks or mattel.....really great lineups as well

Thanks for the feedback guys! The heads on the Rumblers do tend to look cartoonish, so I don't think that all of them would work with the BnB line. I did happen to get lucky with the Alberto Del Rio, I used a Morrison body and HHH legs & waist due to the matching skin tone. I should note that the peg holes on the rumblers are pretty deep, so I ended up using Loctite, steady hands and a good amount of patience but I think the end result was pretty good.

Should have pics of some more customs coming soon!

I'd like to create a *simple * point based system that introduces an element of chance into a wrestling match between 2 figures. Technically this game is for my nephew but in my heart it's for me
Between the educational element and cards i might print this should add to his / our enjoyment

Point Scale : 1 to 4

Categories :

Strength / Damage - 1 (low) , 2 (average) , 3 (powerhouse - Ultimate Warrior or. Goldberg) and 4 (high - Monster. Example - Big Show or Lesnar)

Speed - 1 (slow) , 2 (average) 3 (fast) 4 (...Sin Cara?)
Wrestling Ability - 1 (lumbering oaf) , 2 (brawler) , 3 (some skill) and 4 (Bret Hart)


Bonus Stat's:
Championship Experience *Only the title that has the highest point value is used .
Heavyweight Championship or WWE Title = 3 points
Intercontinental Title = 2 points
Tag Team or "other" title = 1 point

Example Match:

Roddy Piper vs. The Big Show

Piper : Strength = 2 , Speed = 2 , Wrestling Ability = 3 , Championship Experience = 2 (Intercontinental Title )
Total Score: 9 points

Big Show: Strength = 4 , Speed = 1 , Wrestling Ability = 2, Championship Experience = 3 (WHC/WWE Title )
Total Score: 10 points

The Element of chance: A die is rolled once by each player. The number rolled is added to the wrestlers total point score .
Roddy Piper rolls a 5 (Total Score 14 pts)
Big show Rolls a 3 (Total Score 13 pts)

Surprise outcome.... in this example Roddy Piper beats The Big Show.

My question to you - How can i improve this system while still keeping it simple ? New categories ? Different point spreads? More than one die roll?

Remember this will be played by kids (nephew and his buddies primarily. Myself when i have some time with him) so i want it to be simple and fast paced (i.e. read the Wrestlers point value and add the number rolled). Hopefully some of us collectors will enjoy it as well though so i'd love your input.

Nice ADR custom. I'm curious though, how does the reverse look? That is; how does a BnB head look on a Rumbler body?

I'm hoping to make future Batista, Scott Hall, JBL & Regal rumblers and I was hoping to use BnB heads for this.

Thanks!

The rumblers faces are a little more cartoonish, and the peg holes are very deep, more so that the Gi Joe and Star Wars lines so getting them to work takes a little bit of skill and some strong glue! As for Reversing the two, using a BnB head on a rumbler body you would first have to drill out the BNB head, but I'm sure it's possible.

I agree, that would def help out! With limited options for creating new custom figures this could help out some of the less experienced people as well as help those of us who may be stuck trying to figure out the final piece to a custom figure.

For example my custom Alberto Del Rio figure consisted of a John Morrison Torso, HHH Legs and waist and an Alberto Del Rio Head from the Rumblers line. I know some people have used a John Morrison head to create a custom warrior, and I have seen a Hogan made from a Randy Couture head.
