Although I love the Mattel Legends Rick Martel I would have preferred his pink attire. I whipped this up tonight. I have an e33 Batista hat on the way to finish the look off. Thanks roman bellic for the suggestion! I might suggest the old STOMP jakks series Austin beret, perfect size for Martel's head, and a great sculpt! Wars

Were those your thrift store finds you told us about awhile back?
Great classic commentary duo!

Suc le bleu? Anyway, this guy trolls like he's been doing it for years. Hmmmm. I notice you needed a Mattel Ricky Steamboat head on your JAKKS figure, and that Andre...and Mattel Savage I would presume? Both lines have their holes...and their flaws: Why is a grown-ass man trolling? Wars

Both would be great in the Flashbacks, Valentine with a colorful robe and a "Heartbreaker" shinguard! Brutus has so many looks, but I'd prefer one that could pass for both eras-- Dream Team or Baraber. Maybe yellow or blue tights with zebra stripes, and a long trench coat ring jacket to match. Shears or clippers and scissors would be icing on the cake!

Like everyone else, I have a wish list a mile long. But, true "GRAIL" wrestlers I need:
1987-88 British Bulldogs tag team set Union Jack capes, Matilda, tag team titles
Adorable Adrian Adonis I've been a fan of the man and gimmick since '85. Great heel, great LJN figure. Needs scarves and a removable dress and sun hat. Padded bra for extra points. ***************************************************** Wish list: Islanders Haku & Tama- Survivor Series '87 look Brutus Beefcake Ted Dibiase & Virgil Bobby Heenan Jimmy Hart The Fabulous Rougeau Bros.- Fleur de lis bike trunks with blue sequined capes The Midnight Express (Lane & Eaton) in lime green/neon green with Jim Cornette Hercules
Last, a totally self-indulgent wish: Stan Hansen & Bruiser Brody two-pack

Didn't we see a Jakks Mr. T with all his chains as a prototype WMI figure long ago? Wars Yes! He was in baby blue trunks. Good memory, Axe! I had to hunt down my saved image. I thought it was a plain old Mr. T, but yep, it's a Clubber Lang, I guess. Did T wear the chains and such in his role as Clubber Lang? It's been YEARS since I watched Rocky III... Anyway, Jakks sculpted the chains, would've lead to a GREAT WM I Mr. T!! Wars

I did make that image long ago ('03?) and I think I have a larger size on my external HDD. I'll look for it and share it if I find it. I'd buy one of each from your list!

While I'm not a Attitude Era guy, I do have a size-able AE collection, and am about to expand upon it with a few custom/fix ups from that era. I stopped by a local thrift store and found some great fodder and will be debuting my completed work this weekend. Well, it's the weekend! No pics, no proof!! Let's see some Attitude Era customs, I need some inspiration to get back in the game! Wars

I will no doubt buy that classic blue cage and ring! I bet The Warsman is loving that Wrestlefest skirt!! Absolutely! I really hope 3rd party merchandise takes off, as Mattel can't (or won't) do it all alone! That cage and new skirt look great, a definite purchase! Wars

I am so flattered! Looks like I went back in time and gazed upon my old set up!
You even have Vlad the Superfan! Nice touch!
Just kidding. You put your own spin on this and it all looks great! Loving the fans in the crowd and all the custom work, you are a customs making GOD!
Now shoot a pic fed already!

Warsman DID retire, which was a pity because I always thought he was a genius at pic fedding whether you like old school wrestling or not. Its so funny because me and Warsman are friends outside of the internet and he always said if they made a Mattel Hogan he would fed again and wouldn't you know it................THEY ARE!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Did I say that? Wars

Ralph was a class act to do business with, and created great product with every order.
He will be missed by the wrestling figure community, and best wishes to his family at this time.
...shocked...

No june vignette? A very good collaboration there from you guys. You make the classic feel work really well, and even for someone who wasn't around during all of the syndication, I still get it and enjoy what you put out. I think a more uniform way of presenting the matches would work better, similar to how most of you have a uniform set up with the crowd background, RSR ring, etc. Also a point, which I'm sure some other fedders may agree with - we'd love to see you guys reply more to other shows. Bigeviljohn is the only one who seems to regularly comment on other people's work, and I know his feedback is greatly appreciated. With the expertise you guys have, whether it be posing, picture taking, storylines - lending some of that in replying to other people's shows will definitely be for the good and help others improve their shows, myself included. Plus, more shows with more replies makes casual visitors to the board know that this board is definitely jumping, rather than looking on the page and seeing shows with only 6, 7, or 8 replies. Anyway, great show and will be interesting to see what you do and when you do the next one! As of October 22, 2013, june will no longer be working with TWA. TWA wishes him the best in all his future endeavors. Thank you Titch for the reply! I can only speak for myself as far as the need to leave replies, but I do when I can and especially when I see something I truly like! For example, a TNA themed fed does nothing for me personally, nor would a post-attitude era themed fed. It's just a matter of taste, and I truly understand if the "classic" style of the TWA isn't for today's teenagers. Different strokes for different folks and all... Plus, as a "long time" fedder, how many times can you type "work on your poses" or "what's up with your arena?" before you lose your mind? Many "replies" are of the VERY generic type anyway, heck most replies are just a rehash of what they probably read from someone else's reply before them. Not to mention the snarky backhanded compliment replies that pop up all too often. Wars

Loved it obviously; here are some extra thoughts: bigeviljohn: Flair vs Bockwinkel Flair vs. BockwinkelCan't believe the Nature Boy came up short in this one. Zybysko needs to get what's coming to him; same with Bockwinkel; they're not fit to shine Flair's boots!!! greensborohill: Russians vs Atlas/Putski/Poffo Russians vs Poffo, Putski, AtlasThe Russians and especially Nikita were dominate just as I expected them to be. I don't think there is any 3 man team on this planet that will be able to take the 6-man titles away from them. It would need to be one helluva superteam; tho I think they would be even more unstoppable if Ivan replaced Boris... Classic88: Warrior vs Kamala Warrior vs KamalaFantastic match here. Warrior came out on top like I knew he would and I expect to see him rise quickly thru the TWA ranks bigeviljohn: Blanchard vs Taylor Blanchard vs TaylorCannot ing BELIEVE Tully lost!!!! Thank God he is taking his talents to a promotion that will treat him like the A+ superstar that he is haha Mo4Sho!!!: Funk/Lawler vs The Rockers The Rockers vs Funk & LawlerI'm not sure what to think of this Funk/Lawler tag team... Not happy that they bashed my boys The Rockers, but I kinda liked them taking the gold away from the Von Erichs and really injuring David... Kerry looked none to pleased at the end there and I'm expecting him to unleash hell (or a tornado) in the near future Warsman: Savage vs Haynes vs Race Savage vs Haynes vs RaceUnfortunately I was only able to see like 3 or 4 slides from this match Not sure what the heck is going on and why I can't watch it... It's all still there, I promise! I think the problem is that you need to click on the right side of each set of pictures to advance the slideshow, NOT hit next. Next is for the next set of slides, I haven't figured out a better way to set it up so i can have multiple entrances with music for each guy. So once the slides start to repeat, then hit "NEXT" to go to the next set of slides. Let me know if that works! Thanks, Wars

THANK YOU for the detailed feedback, thecolt, it is appreciated! And THANK YOU to all who have replied!!
I'm not sure what happened to Rude v Rhodes, must have been technical difficulties? Maybe Mo forgot to pay for 2 matches of satellite feed?? Maybe he tripped on the electric cables and unplugged them??? Poor Mo.
