Thanks for the feedback, aaron34 most of my current work isn't wrestling related, but my previous stuff can be found here forum.wrestlingfigs.com/user/321/recentn2jib cheers man. I haven't done many elite pieces since the last run, but honestly the stuff mattel is putting out these days is pretty decent. Only I haven't found a good place to get them locally.

thank you for the compliments everyone. Will be working on some new pieces over the coming months where time permits. These are just awesome. Can't wait to see more. It's nice seeing something different and original. You say they will be limited edition, but I didn't see on the website how many of each you made/will make. It's showing that Bronco Buster is sold out already, so I'm guessing that it wasn't too many. Either that or these are super popular. Also are you numbering them 1 of xx, 2 of xx, etc.? This particular colour way of Bronco Buster and Gory Bomb were limited to 15 pieces each. They will all be individually numbered on the bottom of their boot.

I've got plans to release these with minimal colours as well as solid, unpainted colourways, so all in good time with this type of sculpting ability do you or plan to work in this field? I can only dream to sculpt that well. I'm currently a full time artist so yes, I do sculpt these for a living, something that I'm very thankful for!

simply put, these are original characters that were conceptualized and sculpted by me. I grew up loving the hasbro wwf line and wanted to incorporate wrestling ethos with my craft. I used hasbro stock bodies, modified them and sculpted hands and heads from scratch. There is a general theme running with these characters in that they're all named after wrestling maneuvers, and have animal motifs that I felt related to their names. And yes, I certainly understand that the price point for these is way more than retail figures that you can buy off the shelf, but I do feel that the amount of time and effort that I spent creating these piece justify the cost. The pieces are all sculpted, individually hand cast and painted by myself, and the edition size for each character is much more limited than your run-of-the mill mass produced figures. The reason why I chose to post them up on the forums is that when I first started customizing figures some 10 years back, wrestlingfigs was the very first forum that I became a part of to share my creations, a really awesome community where I could showcase my works and learn from others. And now that I'm doing (somewhat) wrestling-themed pieces again, I wanted to get back to my "roots" and share these figures with the place that first encouraged me to pursue customizing and sculpting. Hope that clears up your queries! cheers everyone. The response so far for these have been great, and new characters will be added to the roster in time to come I would like to echo the sentiment expressed by a few others here, and ask: what are these, exactly? Are they characters from a comic book, or "actual" wrestlers? Are they wrestling moves embodied by monsters? Or were you just messing around one day and accidentally created them? They are far and away the best customs I've ever seen, but of I don't know what hey are, it's hard to know why I should spend the amount of money you're asking for.

appreciate it guys! No kidding, I'm in awe..... These could easily be a start to a retail line,... Did you make these characters up by yourself or are they from something else? Honestly, I love them The characters were conceptualized and sculpted by myself (with the help of course from the hasbro wwf stock bodies). So far the release has done really well, and I've got at least another 4 characters planned in the roster for the year.

Thanks guys! Amazing! Bronco buster's body looks like macho/martel one isn't it? Bronco is indeed a Martel styled body, and Gory is a heavily modified Ax figure

Apocalypse: it's a local brand called epo putty. it's basically a plumbers epoxy and you can pick it up at most handy fix stores. it takes a while to get a hang of it, but it's my preferred medium. and i guess pictures are misleading coz that stuff cures rock hard

really happy with how this one turned out so I might have gone a little overboard with the pics, but i wanted to show the figure from as many angles as possible. recipe jakks cactus jack head volkoff torso and upper legs barrett arms slaughter lower legs and boots shirt from ralph's clothings miniature scale barbed wire hasbro jim duggan 2x4 I tried out removable hands on cactus, since he's got the iconic 'bang bang' pose and i wanted to have him hold a hardcore weapon of some type. used some 3mm magnets and attached them to the wrist joint and hands. Cactus Jack
