I remember that the Mc Donalds Happy Meal toys are the most selling toys at all, stated in "Supersize Me". We really can't count them in because these are mostly licensed toys and the collection of one 4-8 toy line can be bought easily at once. As i asked in the Hasbromaniac post, i really want to know how many figures of each line were actually made, Hasbros are still everywhere on the planet and the rarer ones didn't even get much higher through the last 10 years. As you might know i'm a Hasbro Customizer myself and i love the figures to death, even thought i never even collected them. I had some of them in my childhood but i was more into TMNT and comics back then and recovered my desire for wrestling during the Attitude era in early 97 when the BCA line was the current toyline for WWF figures. Some of them were really nice but i never really got into BCA, when Toybiz came around, i got more into collecting new stuff but you couldn't get them easy over here in germany these days so i bought almost everything i could get in a store. Jakks put out the first TTLs and i got the ones i was interested in, moneywise i couldn't get all of them anyway. When my dad finally got the internet working, i was obsessed by wrestling figures, i still wasn't a real collector with around 30 figures but i spent hours in front of the computer just looking at figures. I read all info about all kinds of lines and my passion for Hasbros never died so i came across Quirks Hasbro Customs (RIP) and i was even more obsessed about Hasbros. With the fact of figures beeing to expensive and my desire for art, i decided to make them on my own. The hunt on Hasbros begun! For some reason i never collected the real Hasbros, i only made my own Hasbro Custom collection.

I always wondered how many of each series were produced, i know the last series was quite rare but most of the others are still very easy to get. I haven't found any on german flea markets nowadays but ebay is still flooded. They must have been MASS produced, even more like any Mattel or Jakks-line, anyone got an info for me? Thanks!

Love it. Alsways did want a cage for the hasbro ring. Can't believe every othr line had a cage except Hasbro. Looks decent. My only criticism is the shade of blue. FOr my taste would like it a little darker blue. You're right, the spray paint cup had the same exact color as the hasbro ring, sadly the actual paint didn't.

Thanks! I've found the cage walls in my dad's basement, i don't know what it's meant to be used for, he's got some more of them, i might build some more. Just had to cut it to the right size and glued the building system parts on the sides to make it connectable. The squared posts are very tricky so i had to make it that way, turned out very well.

It's finally done! Hasbro never made a steel cage for their ring and every Hasbro-fan was upset about it. This cage features a classic door and it's connectable at the sides! I will put it on eBay tomorrow or maybe sunday, so you'll get a chance to get your hands on this cool thing!

Thanks guys, work goes on! Shep Ramsey (Suburban Commando) Proto - Don't know what to say, it's modified and sculpted from head to toe. Will come with the spacegun later when it's finished. Yes, it took quite a bit to make.

Very neat one! I don't like Brodus Clay but i do like this great custom! The painting on the tattoos is superb, the head and body choice is perfect, very very well made.

I really like this Triple H, always loved the headscan. Might be a bit too big but i don't really care, the whole thing looks great. Nice paintjob on the logos and i dig the tapings on the fingers.

Genius, you have the right to lose your mind with these ideas. Warriors music is best for such a light show. Man, you pulled it off again, sweet job and very innovative.

Thanks buddies! Rip of No Holds Barred in street gear - "What's that smell?!" Here is the second Rip in street gear, turned the hands around, sculpted parts of the bandana, belt, gloves, watch and sanded down the kneepads. It's for the Hogan-Movie-Project i'm working on. Sculpted the hat, cape, neck to the sideways/up pose, sanded down the Kneepads, put pearls to the cape and added feathers to the hat. The rope is attachable.

Wow Tom, still at it mate. I packed it in for a few years, came on here for a bit of inspiration, and came accross this thread. Ill be in touch. It would be fun to maybe do a joint effort sometime. Anyway, cracking stuff and speak soon I really enjoy making these right now again, back in the day i was just bored and nobody cared about Hasbros and i didn't sell anything for a good price so i with no income, i had to quit it. I'm glad that everybody likes my stuff and i have a lot in my mind to impress the Hasbro-fans! Even Hulk Hogan, yes the real one himself, posted on my wall on Tommys Customs facebook page asking for a talk about Hulk Hogan figures.

Mr. Nanny - What have i become, putting Hasbros in tutus?! Well, sometimes you don't have a choice to succeed, same went for Hogan when he did that horribly ... good movie. Here comes Mr. Nanny as part of the Hulkster Movie Project as an order, still poseable with sculpted hair, socks and boots (due to the black color it isn't noticeable)

Thanks for the posts so far! There aren't just cuts on the cape, quite a few but also not pictured wrinkles!

3 new proto sneak peaks of the Hulk Hogan Movie & TV Customs Project. I'm making all of these for an order and they are keeping me very busy right now. Thunderlips cape and hat was sculpted, same goes for the arrogant sideways up pose on the neck. I will add some more details on the cape and hat when it's painted. Mr. Nanny's curly hair was sculpted so i had to remove the original hair. This one will be so cool when it's finished! The other Hogan is another Rip of No Holds Barred, in his "street wear". Which one are you most excited for?

Bad ass Goldberg, i always liked the headscan and it looks awesome on the Mattel body. The whole thing looks great, nice job on the tats and the attire!

I'm not a huge Hogan fan nowadays but he just belongs within WWE.

The Luger custom look factory made, it's perfect in every way. The head is amazing, you did a great job on the modification! I also like the Stinger, i enjoy your customs really much!
