I'm downright amazed, dude! I always loved Rey's WCW attires, this one is perfect, smooth paintjob and good work on the mask. Totally nailed it.

The paintjob is dead on, it looks like you put it right out of the box. I will make a Bryan Hasbro anytime soon! Try photoscape for your pictures to combine them, it's free, i use it as well!

Thanks. It depends on the wrestler to make, parts, details, time involved, mint on card or not but they usually start at $65.

Hey customizer-elite! A good friend of mine is now providing latex molds of Jakks/Mattel/Toybiz/Hasbro heads! I'm promoting this project for him because he hasn't got an account on this forum. The guy is collecting for over 25 years and has quite a huge variety of wrestlers, which means he has a crapload of different heads. The link below shows only the current progress, he is still listing heads every now and then. The Jakks-list is almost complete but his collection is always growing. You choose the heads you want and you'll get a LATEX MOLD of the head, which lets you create as much heads as you want! The only thing left that you need is: casting ceramic. It's very cheap and you can make a lot heads with one package. I'm using casted heads for my customs for ages and as you can see on my facebook-page, they always like the originals, some even better. Check out the pretty heads he has got and ask for prices, he'll make you a fair offer!! The page is mostly in german language but nevermind, he speaks english as well! HEAD SELECTIONThe final casted heads will look like this: ![](https://fbcdn-sphotos-d-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-prn2/1236337_718454534848081_1244393900_n.jpg) You only have to sand a little bit and mold it on the body like this: ![](https://fbcdn-sphotos-e-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-prn2/1148886_587504064633879_38703259_n.jpg) Cheers, Tommy

Thanks to everyone, you can bid on it on EBAY LINK NOT ALLOWED now. Here's the custom i'm working on right now, ECW FTW Taz in promo-pic pose: ![](http://s1.directupload.net/images/130901/hs3zwz6b.jpg) ![](http://www.canoe.ca/WrestlingImagesT/tazbig.jpg) Sculpted the singlet and sanded down the kneepads since here never wore them and lowered down the boots. It was my first try on switching hands, had to cut them off, sand down the lower arms and put on the Hogan Press up slam hands and mold the tapings to the perfect likeness.

Look at these small logos, great detail! You really have to put some proto pics up, i'm not fond to the rumblers line and want to know which parts are molded. I really like it, good job! I'd love to see a Kurt Angle rumbler!

Quirk is the reason why i started customizing back in 2001. I've found it when i searched for wrestling figures, didn't heard anything of customzing and came across his website. I was literraly blasted by his work. I wasn't that much into Hasbro figures at this point, i had quite a few but didn't know every line and figure. He had everything on the his website, tons of customs, zip-folders with the hasbro figure images and even old wwf hasbro commercials. It was a time when youtube wasn't around and it was awesome to see these old funny clips. I spent hours and hours on his website, i did a few fix-ups to my toybiz and jakks figures back then but he really inspired me to make a custom figure. Well, my first custom wasn't really a whole new part switch, it was basically a Hulk Hogan repaint to end up as a Kane custom. I saw him using the figure as a base and i had one for spare. I still got that Kane custom, it's horrible yet hilarious, if anyone really want to see a picture of that piece of crap, please let me know ![:D](http://www.wrestlingfigs.com/images/grin.gif) . When i was new to the whole thing, i always checked out which parts he used for a certain figure or which wrestler i could make with the parts i had left. My customs took about 1-2 hours back then so i was kinda addicted to make one hasbro after another because it was so much fun. Quirk really made every wrestler of the attitude era, some even twice and they were really well done. I remember some bad ones like a Jericho which was a Warrior repaint but damn, he had an amazing skill for parts choice. Someday he stopped putting new customs up, i kept looking for at least one year but still nothing. I didn't know that he was a indy wrestler at this time. His tragic death was mentioned on the largest german wrestling newsboard and i thought that it was him because i remembered his real name. I double checked it and i was really sad to hear about my "mentor"s death, the kid had so much talent and seemed like an awesome guy.

Are you kidding me?! That Tiger Mask looks absolutely brilliant, top notch sculpting! Dynamite Kid is a great addition but Tiger Mask is a true show stealer!
