You know my deal with wrestling, bro, which is why I rarely comment on the Customs board nowadays.
That said, while Owen Hart was one of those "done a million times" customs that I always talked to you about when referencing how much I enjoyed the originality and diversity of your customs, I have to say that something must be said for doing a custom right regardless of whether or not it's popular enough to have spawned literally hundreds of iterations.
The painting is great, the head and facial features work, overall, I think that's one of the best Owen Hart's I've seen in a long while. Nice job, man.

The painting on Owen is amazing, but the hair needs some work..

It looks like you added your hair in the middle of the head. It still has the same Kenny bangs and front half of the hair. I think you did a great job with the figure, but that's what I see is off when it comes to the hair. I would've sanded down Dykstra's head and just redid the whole thing..

I think your work is amazing and I don't want you to think that I am bashing it, because I think it's very well done. Just with the picture it looks like he has this added layer of hair on top. It's an easy fix, but overall it's a wicked Owen. Many people will be getting the Owen's going once my Owen Hart Head Sculpt Project is complete..

No I dont take it that way at all, I appreciate it honestly. What I did though was I took an exacto knife and I cut the back of his head. The long hair isnt actually sitting on top of his old hair, its sitting in a divit I made in his head to make sure both were the same height.The pic does make it look like its sitting on top, I guess its something you gotta see in person lol.
Im gonna take your advice and see if I can sand down the back some more, the only reason Im not gonna re do the whole thing is because the Owen I went off of, his hair was pulled back in the front of his head and it overlapped the pulled back hair in the back to conitinue down to his shoulder. If that makes sence? lol
If youv ever seen Summerlsam 1994, thats what I was shooting for.

As always, your mugs look amazing. You really do a great job on those. I checked out your Owen too, looks really clean and smooth, only complaint is the hair piece doesn't fit the best on the head but no biggy.

you do a great job with these customs, but i have to say, i can't see the appeal of these mugg figures. i find them useless. still, good work.

you do a great job with these customs, but i have to say, i can't see the appeal of these mugg figures. i find them useless. still, good work. To each their own, IMO. I fell in love with these things the first time I saw 'em. I think the uniqueness and lovability of Muggs depends on your ability to embrace the idea of super-cute miniatures of your favorite licensed heroes, whether it be Star Wars, Marvel, or new lines like GI Joe and Transformers. Embracing the "kiddieness" of them goes a long way towards seeing their charm. That said, great job on the latest custom F1SH. You should send that one in to Game Informer too, lol. I heard MadWorld is one of the most violent games of the last few years; shocking that it'd be on the Wii.

Damn dude, seriously your Mugg-painting skills are nothing short of amazing. The new diorama is stunning. You are truly an artist who has found his medium. You actually included shots hitting the sand. My goodness who else would even think to include that?

Wow, man.
Just...wow.
I had high hopes when you and I first talked about your idea of doing a diorama, and you blew them all away.
That really is a stunning piece, it turned out beautifully. The shots hitting the sand, the diorama itself, the Muggs themselves...everything about it is vivid and inspiring.
I think it's honestly your best work yet...I'd be shocked and saddened if that didn't nail you an A for whatever class you turned it in to.

The D-Day diorama is flippin awesome! That's the only thing that needs to be said about it.
The Owen isn't your best work, but I think it looks really good all the same. The paint isn't as clean thoguh, which is a little odd to me. Still though, I'm sure it fits in your collection nicely.
I',m not familiar with the source material for the other recent figures but they look really awesome. Great work my friend.

On the 1st page is a photo to compare what my new version of the Power Rangers will look like as compared to my old set that was done a while ago. Ill be doing 12 characters from the original Mighty Morphin Power Rangers TV series and it will be up on ebay, unless someone offers me an insaine figure, which I highly doubt will happen lol. Anyway, Id love to hear what you guys think of the new design, and Ill try to get more preview pics up every so often while I finish them up. Thanks Guys
