If it's Bryan, I hope it still has the inaccurate short haired scan, and 2 rubber shirts , one YES and one NO.

Piper needs to be in this series, with red tights, like his LJN. I would say jeans, but I don't want a Piper in bell bottoms.

Next clue will be, "you will all be disappointed, unless you want a Dude Love figure."

I'm getting the Crush figure, but would've preferred him to be Kona Crush, why everyone is clamoring for deathbed Demolition to e reformed is beyond me.

Macho did not wear bell bottoms on his TNT debut. I don't know what Mattels obsession with bell bottoms is, but I hate it. They should also use a proper t- shirt mold for their t- shirt series. I stand corrected. My apologies. I could have sown he wore Jeans when he was talking to the various managers. He wore jeans, but the style is nowhere the mattel default jean mold. Which has been worn by none of the superstars they have released in that mold.

Looks legit, they sculpted his hair really well, but they made him look too old.

Has anyone else noticed that the Savage figure from this series is in essence a depiction of his debut on Tuesday Night Titans? I just might buy it for that reason. Macho did not wear bell bottoms on his TNT debut. I don't know what Mattels obsession with bell bottoms is, but I hate it. They should also use a proper t- shirt mold for their t- shirt series.

Absolutely love them. Incredible passion on your part, and incredible work by an amazing customizer in Axe, and equally incredible work on clothing by the late great Ralph. I'm thirsty for more.

Hey dude, any new work, or pieces you've never listed? I'd love to see more. I'm actually tackling Masked Superstar today, and stumbled upon yours in a google search, glad I did, because it looks spectacular.

I think the people rubbishing this guys customs are pieces of crap! At least he had a go, -'m sure all you haters and experts have never even attempted a custom - it's not easy! Look at Tommy he has amazing customs and has nothing but respect for Qirks customs. Yeah they aren't perfect but they got a lot of us interested and inspired to start! Also, a lot of the pictures that were shown in this thread were of the figures 10 years later, and also sculpty and epoxy wasn't very common back then, so people had to make due and yet some people don't understand how innovative Quirk was for his time. The Warsman was making professional factory looking customs before quirk, so how quirk is called an innovator, and pioneer is beyond me.

Exclusives are always one of the usual suspects, Macho, Hart, Foley, Kane, Punk, so anyone aside from them will be a real shocker.

It makes sense to pack whatever fig this will be with old school tag title to entice people into buying multiples.

His elbow drop looked like crap and was a disservice to the Macho Man.

I think the better sales have to do with the figures looking better, and the assortments lacking Evan Bourne. Not to mention the excellent accessories.

Well I'm stumped, I have traded for many figures in the past that were in peoples attics, and storage units, and boxes and in all my years I have never came across a figure that has this problem. Now I went through with my normal cleaning of him, and I tried some other methods of cleaning Big John Studd's legs (it is only the legs) inside the knees, the crotch, are the factory white. But It turns out the plastic seemed to have changed from white to a cream color on just the legs. So how many of you have come across this issue and was a this problem for anyone else? However, before anyone says anything I knew this way ahead of time before I got the figure, the guy show plenty of pictures of it. I just thought it was a bit dingy from sitting in a storage container. But however we both have now found out, it has to be a change in the coloring in the paint or plastic it was molded in. I'm just wondering if anyone else has experienced this issue this figure? I have 4 of those, and luckily have not had that issue, my Strike Force on the other hand have portions of the tights that have turned yellow. On the bright side, you can list it on ebay as a variant, or break it into pieces and say it's a rare prototype.

It was kind of disturbing how you went into state of arousal as you were zooming in on Aries. Kinda creepy.
