I made this figure to represent Hogan from his various eras. I was originally going to make a Mr. America, but decided to take a different approach. Feedback is welcome:  I made another "hybrid" figure, but this time, it is of my favorite wrestler, The Ultimate Warrior:  I was unhappy with the rereleased Best of Shawn Michaels, so I took the liberty of making a Shawn from his early "post-Rockers" era:  I also was unhappy with the Too Cool figures that were recently released. They were accurate (attire from Royal Rumble 2000) but did not capture the characters properly:  All but Warrior are on ebay. |

Nice work on all of them. The painting is smooth and the modding looks well done too. The Hogan is interesting but it lacks very much of his most iconic look. The only thing I can really see from 80's Hogan is the boots.

All of them are really good. Especially keen on the Warrior hybrid. Real clean painting.

wow i never knew my favorite ebay customizer was a member here. man where do i begin?
Hogan- the idea is amazing. all the eras of Hogan into one. looks very good especially the sculpting of on the mask.
Warrior- another incredible idea. the painting and everything is top notch. the detail and the colors are perfectly executed.
HBK - this one has to be one of the neatest HBK customs i have ever seen. the tights look very well done man. i have always been a fan of this attire. the only thing that bothers me is the boots. wished they were the kickers instead of the laced boots.
Too Cool- great job on giving the proper gear. the sweat pants just look alot better and the designs look great.

Thanks for the replies! All good feedback. The Warrior sold a few months ago for like $80 buy it now...I might make another (with different attire). Credit to Marco from Germany, and the person that made the Doink/Big Josh hybrid for the idea. I can't take credit for the concept.
Warheart: Thanks for the praise. I hate the boots also. I got a bit lazy. I was going to change them.
It's probably not permitted to post links, but check out my ebay auctions. I love making custom figures, and the corresponding html customized ebay auction pages. Check me out (theaxehennig).

100% the best Mr. America sculpt I've ever seen...100% ****tiest custom!...Stupid idea, I wouldn't but it at all! I don't like the idea of the whole "throw his gimmicks into one" thing. I am not here to bash anyone, but can you do better? also, please read the second post on the rules by cmd on the customs home page. Thank you |

Thanks for the feedback. I pride myself on originality. If a Hornswoggle made from various (non-WWE) figures, or a Randy Savage with a blatantly obvious head, Owen Hart made from Kenny from the Spirit Squad, or Sting made from every person with blond spiked hair (i.e. Kennedy with facepaint slapped on) is what you are looking for, then my auctions certainly are not the place for you sir. Originality is essential. Thank you for your blatant and uncouth opinion. At any rate, attempt to have respect though, unless you have customs as a basis of comparison. |
