I think while white decal paper would work, there's simply too much work involved in cutting out the "R" and "F"s, which needs to be done if the logos are printed on white. with the tights logo, its virtually impossible to trim out an exact outline such that only the rf is in white. you could print the logos on white decal paper on a background of the tights colour, but it might not necessarily match the shade of colour on the crotch and boots

thanks,
the texture was achieved with the tip of a flathead screwdriver; applied just before the clay cured

Whose legs did you use? Del Rio's? I think he's the only one with matching skintones. Or did you repaint them to match Snuka's skintone? Either way that figure is what Mattel should have given us. And yes Bandy I did shed a tear of joy at that figure the upper legs were martel's so i ended up repainting the legs as well. the torso, face and arms are unpainted. hopefully somewhere down the line mattel pulls through and gives us a barefoot snuka

appreciate the feedback
his height doesn't bother me. the bare footed shins were designed specifically to fit the ripped lower legs, you'd have to modify them to fit the others.

only the legs and hands had to be painted. the rest of the skin tone is courtesy of mattel

cheers guys, Those hands make a huge difference on Snuka. If you don't mind me asking, how did you go about doing those? I'd like to eventually make a pointing finger for Savage and a thumbs up for Hacksaw. I cut off the fingers from both hands and essentially repositioned and sculpted the fingers into the "hang 10" sign. i used the existing tips of the middle and ring finger as well as the thumb. the other bits were sculpted from scratch. would definitely like to see more wrestler-specific hands, i think it adds more character to the figure.. savage finger pointing..cactus jack's bang bang hands..the list goes on..

decided to go with the bearded look for snuka, since i'm still banking on mattel to eventually release a barefooted version of their own. sculpted arm and feet bands, beard and hands superfly jimmy snuka
