This Macho project is turning out very well and the sculpt Savage head looks AMAZING, cant wait to see it painted to check the final result! When we will have pics of the Savage painted head? Joel, I hope that in the near future we will continue making more projects like this one for more GREAT heads, OK? Joel, I´m with you for next´s projects!!! I hope so...
I´m in for:
- Owen Hart - Texas Tornado - Sting from the 89/90 era with short yellow hair from the GAB-WCW - Ricky Steamboat - Ultimate Warrior 2008 return

btw, i have only had contact with her on my ebay deal with her..been good about not pestering so lets go easy guys and not overwhelm her...if this turns out to be good, we will bennefit by getting folks in our collections that we might not ever get or have to wait years for..and it would bennefit her do to all the income..
i consider wars our front man on this...if we all start emailing her with questions or the same questons it could take her much longer to get savage for example done...or she might get irritataed with however many e-mails she might be getting..wars,you the point man brother...
ill follow you here:)

I email Ada thirteen times an hour asking about the neck...
Seriously, Wars has got this way under control. I don't know why people would be bothering her. This project could not have gone any smoother. Everyone needs to chill. When and if we do this again Joel should totally be the one that handles this if he is still willing to put up with all the BS that is. There is no need for every one of us to try to go into business for ourselves, because it will only turn Ada off and she will stop wanting to deal with us. Leave her be people.
By the way Joel, count me in for Project Tornado, Project Franchise, and Project Owen when and if they happen. And next time make certain to keep paypal fees in mind.

Out of intrest, would anyone be intrested in a 90s Hogan scan Man, if you're looking for a '90s Hogan scan, your best bet would be the Finishing Moves Hogan. In my opinion, it's the best Hogan scan/sculpt that Jakks ever did. I've been wanting to use one for a '90s Hogan myself, but I hate to tear up the original figure since it's such a great one. What would be great is if someone could graft that face onto the CS8 nWo head to make a bald '90s Hogan with a removable bandana. I've thought of doing this with a cast resin/molded head, but I don't have any kind of experience with resin yet. //////////////////////////////////// Also, just to throw my two cents in, I'm all for a '80s/early '90s Sting head. Even when TNA gets the license, it's doubtful they would want to do a WCW version, as all of that footage is now owned by WWE and it just wouldn't be a smart business move. Besides Savage, that figure seems like the biggest star that we're pretty much assured to never get. If we were to commission an Owen Hart, it would be great if we could get one smirking, smiling, or straight-faced. A grimacing or mean-looking Owen wouldn't look right for his face days, High Energy/New Foundation, or under a Blue Blazer mask. A smirking Owen would work for any era. Just a thought. Is Larry Zybysko signed?

not sure but it seems to me that with us old schoolers that ricky steamboat, sting nd maybe the modern day warrior are just as big a annying hole in our collections as macho has been... in any event if theres another head to be comissioned i think wars should do a poll among a group of names before hand maybe and who ever gets the most votes would be the next one we go with or somehing like that...
i would be in on a 80s sting,kerry and steamboat for sure

I'd love a Texas Tornado, that would be a great looking figure. It seems to me that a lot of people want Owen, and while I'd like to have one, I have to admit he's further down on my list than those guys you mentioned. Has anyone thought of perhaps a Jushin "Thunder" Liger?

Here is what the sculptor sent me today showing the neck joint. Before the next 10 replies state how long the neck is, I know, and I instantly replied that the neck joint needs to be changed to reduce the length of neck showing.I'll post what she responds with. I really like it, long neck withstanding. Rest assured, it will be fixed... Wars

Wooooow!! A collecters dream come true.
Thanks Wars for making it all possible, and Ada for doing this for us.
I just saw this thread a couple of days ago and I wanted to wait how it looks on a jakks body. It looks fantastic.
How much longer is Ada going to have this avalible for us to buy? I don't want to miss out.

I don't know if it's the angle or what but the head still looks a lil big for the body.

It kind of reminds me of what a TTL head looks like on an RA body. Basically looks hideous until you dremel it out a bit and sit it on the neck properly. I'm sure this will be a rather easy thing to fix for her.
The head does look a bit big, but not too out of scale. I may just end up putting it on a DA body in the end.

now that i look at it again,i think once it sits further down on the neck the head size should be good..maybe sending her a pic of the inner head of one of the ra guys might help...awesome totally awesome is all i can add now...

It might help I did ya one better, samson, I sent her the body you see in the pictures and 3 loose Jakks heads for reference (which I've stated SEVERAL times over the course of this thread) Its possible that the head might go down further if the figure was standing up. If you've ever worked on a figure and taken out the lil barbell thing that connects the head to the neck--and then laid the figure down, especially heads with long hair, the head doesn't rest right lying down. We'll see. It has been brought to her attention, and she does have reference. Wars

One more thing about the size of the head, I sent her a loose DDP and Rick Martel head (along with a Jimmy Hart) and both are on the larger size, IMO. She was probably taking her cue from those heads.
I'll Photoshop it later and see if it looks better without the long neck.

I don't want to miss out. I first saw Ada's work about a year or so ago. All the heads she had for sale back then--she still sells on eBay today, so I would bet she'll sell Macho Man for a good while, especially if she has consistant buyers. I really want her Bill Murray head in Jakks size! My figure fed needs some 80's celebrities to attend! ;D Wars
