Those Mighty Mugs both look great, you have a real talent for painting and the unique style of those is refreshing. What type of paints do you use?

Another neat MUGG figure.
There's a saying that sounds something like "It's not the paints but the painter".
Peeps are complimenting your stuff not because of the high quality of paint you use, but because how high quality of a painter you are.
And you really are. Normally I'm all for pouncing on people for jagged edges and messed up lines, but the fact that you're able to create such firm lines and solid edges on such big figures is very praise-worthy.
Plus, as I've said before, your MUGG figures look leaps and bounds better than the "Vinyl Aggression" figures that look like small demonic monstrosities to scare children with.

I've sorta-kinda taken it upon myself to give praise to Indy/Puro customs whenever they filter through the usual WWE-heavy customs. Of course I have no problem ripping apart a bad custom when I see it, but good indy/puro customs need support and praise because they're semi-rare around these parts. Most of the time they're just weird-looking and more of a "look at me, I'm different" thing, then there's the odd people like enestaesquinaaa, skribble, Texacide and CMD that post fantastic customs that just happen to be based on indy or puro or even MMA people.
I'm a big supporter when it comes to those kinds of customs.

The MUGG Muta kills, I want one so bad. Liger is awesome as well. MA customizing is an expensive hobby.

Im not fond of the whole might mugg concept of a figure. But you make the customs look good. They seem as they are kind of difficult as the head has no features. You basiccally have to paint the features on. Great work man i cant wait to see more form you!

I'm all for different customs. You can only express so much individuality with the 6,000th DA Goldberg and the 1,000,000,000th RA Surfer Sting.
Mighty Muggs are just so damn cute I can't find myself to hate them.
Excellent job as always. I wonder if Mugg accessories would be possible? Mighty Mugg Captain America came with the shield, after all.
It'd be pretty interesting to see what a Mugg title belt would look like. Either way, they're still fantastic customs that are very original and very well-done.

Zomg.... Those RAWK!!
Seriously now, since you asked me to critique this, i#m gonna be brutily honest... ok lets review...
Bobbleheads
Ok, first of all, i don't know how big these are so i don't know how much room you got to paint but anyway...
I like the effort put into sasuke, the attire looks nice, but tbh, it would be hard to mess it up as it is pretty simple. On first glance, the head looks really nice, but when you take your time, its quite lopsided and slopes down... if i were you (and they were big enough) i'd do one half, trace it and see if you can flip it over and imprint the markings... 7/10
Muta is much better imo, the attire is more detailed yet still clean, and the head is much less lopsided... but there is still a tiny bit there. Aside from that, the only flaw (and its small) is one of the wristtapes go onto the hand... 9.5/10
Hayabusa is nice... i was going to nitpick at the wanky sash... but when has a sash ever been straight... anyway i like this custom, but some of the paint isn't as straight as it could be (compare right wrist to left for example), also like sasuke, the head design is a little lopsided... 7/10
M.A
The Ultimate Warrior is seriously nice, the colour contrasts are really nice and the head mod is superb tbh... some problems i have though is the sculping under the kneepads to keep teh tassles in place, why not justy glue them to the inside of the kneepad? also, i don't like the hands used, fists would be better and there is no excuse for having the Lashley trunks showing, either use HHH lowers or sand them off... 9/10 if trunks were sanded, 7.5/10 without them sanded (nice skintone btw)
Ok... thats enough for now... i'll reply to the others tomorrow

A few comments on my behalf lol............The reason i didnt glue them to the inside of the knee pad is two reason, 1 glue didnt seem to be doing the trick, they kept falling off, and two if you look at pics of the match, Warriors tassles always connect to a thick cluster, almost a band.......essentially by making the band out of clay i killed two birds with one stone.........
Now the Mighty Muggs are about 4-5 inches tall, little smaller than a RA figures but anyway the Muta i replicated didnt have the tape connecting to his hand, normally i know he does but this particular version didnt for whatever reason. Thats about all lol thanks for the review, ill see what you got to say tommorow

One last thing, i agree Warriors hands would have been better closed but i wasnt willing to spend another 20 on hands you know, also it eased me to go along with the open hands because WARRIOR pointed up from time to time so it looked right.........look at pic for reference.......
