I think that's just the special packaging for what was supposed to be a live event-only orton, but it ended up at Walmart with the rest of the shirt figs anyway What do you mean live event only. Like they are sold at events? They had a couple of them at the store. |

Saw this at Walmart today. Black packaging. Not sure if this is supposed to be the new packaging Mattel was talking about at Comic Con or not. Thoughts?  |

 I tweaked your pic a bit. Love it! Wars Perfect Wars! Thank you so much. As you could see my crowd background which is usually adequate for photos of one ring is just not big enough to contain the War Games. Looks perfect now! |

Agreed. We need a new Swagger in Elite style. With a decent head sculpt this time. Mattel has yet to get swagger right IMO. Have you seen his last basic? They did a great job on it. I havent. I only collect elite. And cant justify paying 10 bucks for just a new head. |

Yeah i doubt it but I was surprised to see Rakishi coming in an upcoming set. WOuld love to have them though since they have yet to be made in ra/matty scale. Then again I want everyone made so take my comment for what it's worth. You need to ask Mattel for more NWA/WCW guys to make that War Games ring even more pretty! Yeah i hear ya. Ya know with just a few more guy like JJ Dillon, Paul Elering, and Dustin Rhodes. We could do a good bit of the war games matches between Matty and Jakks |

Thank Naparo! A voice of reason. But the WORST thing from our wrestling childhood had to be that King Kong Bundy LJN figure! You could way lay someone with that thing! Yeah I showcased it in silver to point out that it is not a Jakks plastic table. But rest assured. More pics will be coming where I will paint it brown and show it side by side with the Jakks one. My next custom is pretty big. It is already done. Just awaiting pics of it. Not sure if we are ready for another one form you. Your not going to do a Jake Roberts custom real glass crack pipe with real crack or the RVD head shop set are you? |

It's okay for your first try. The background has the image in reverse for some reason. What are the stools made from? Love the concept of R. Truth interviewing Michael Coles severed head.
The clothes rack is a cool idea. If for nothing more than organizing fig clothes. Where did you get the plastic hanger hook things?

I get where you are going. Kinda right. Technically divas do have waist articulation but knees are still basic. Either way i'll take it.

I would buy one. But in the tradition of mattel. I would want it to be a new atire not previously done by Jakks. I'm also the geek that would like the deciple, the booty man, and the Zodiak

Yeah nothing i know of. Doe sJakks even go to comic con? Toy fair was always there reveal spot.
I still dream of the day when Jakks announces ditching TNA and focusing only on a non branded classic line like spam's old Legends of Wrestling line.

Probably a custom. Just can't see jacks doing that knee pad detail. I know they have in the past but lest we forget Chinese New Year.

Ok so I had to take a moment to "moderate" as I sometimes do in a very comunistic fashion. I have deleted a number of posts that were either not productive comments or had a tone that I felt did not reflect what I expect from members on this forum.
All are entitled to their opinions. Please dispense them in a respectful way.
Fell free to respectfully debate what you think should and should not be posted on the forum. But keep it in the spirit of an open minded debate.
Do I think that it is wrong to post this for fear of encouraging children to play with fire? Not really. The minimum forum age according to the rules is 13 making the average age much more than that. I mean many of the sigs of members on the forum are on the verge of pornographic. So I think if you are old enough to handle some of these sigs then you are also old enough to know that fire is dangerous. Let's be honest. This is the internet and there are dangerous things on the internet and much more dangerous than this. I think this forum even has other dangers that are discussed such as use of drills, power saws, rotary tools, broken glass, and dare i say some of the swinging punch Hasbros (those things can hurt!). I mean the LJN ring itself has impaled children for God's sake! And as a former 13-y-o my self I am sure I would have never needed a forum post like this to give me the idea to light a table on fire. In fact I didn't need the inspiration and tried this myself as a kid. That being said it is not a wise idea to do this. It is clearly dangerous and can cause damage to your body, your figures, your set up, collection, and your house. Even if you think you know what you are doing, you are not a pyro technician, fire is unpredictable, and flammable liquids are even more unpredictable. So I would never recommend doing this. But do i really need to say that?
AS far as the item. I prefer your other work but as a cast of the table it's fine. I would like to see it painted so that the wood part was brown like the real tables. I think it would make them a bit more crisp that way. I am curious as to what you did for a mechanism to hold the 2 halves together. Is it the same nub as the originals? One thing that I always wished was that the table were a little more in scale. Slightly taller and slightly longer would have been nice. These were as you may remember originally released with BCA figs.
Since you have the ability to cast tables Why not try belts in real metal? Chairs? Ladders.
Anyways Hobgoblin. I hope the little bit of drama that this post brought out doesn't stop you from making the cool work that you have been contributing to the board.
