Im just a Honky Tonk Man / Million Dollar Man

[Deleted]

After seeing Cammi Oh's HTM I decided to make my own. This is just a placeholder and I still have to change the body as you can see in the pics without a jumpsuit on.

I think im gonna use a Terry Funk with Ricky Steamboat Legs and Tall White boots. Steamboat has skinny legs but they are the color I wanna go for, and they would have a good height with tall boots, and for the torso, I think HTM is bigger than funk but Not big enough for Austins body or Hacksaws. Do you guys think Funk would work well??













As you can see ^ the body is Just a Placeholder, Im thinkin Funk.... ??



Have Mercy

It doesn't really matter what body as long as you keep the jump suit on. Looks rad man!

[Cammi Oh]

I am wishing I never sold the jumper that Honkey Tonk won because that blue one is really, really cool.

awesome brother!! all he needs is a guitar!! ( GEE -TAR)!!....
this is WHY i am pissed about the Death of the Legends Line.. we SOO should have a Honky Tonk Man by now... more than a Bundy or ...ok ok i wont even go there...

DEAR MATTEL, PLEASE Give US HONKY TONK MAN & BRUTUS THE BARBER BEEFCAKE ASAP..??

along with a Foley, and then more HBK & Takers, those two legends are MISSING from my display..

any1 agree..
..?

Yeah Terry Funk would be perfect actually considering both Honky and Terry were 6'1" 247lbs. Only thing ya would need to do really is paint the legs blue and some logos down the sides and on the butt and give him some white boots. They don't even have to be tall ones really as long as they match the size of the ones Funk comes with. Idk i don't have Funk to tell ya but knowing there stats his figure would fit perfect
really liking this custom. I'm in the works of a Hulk Hogan myself then i think I'm going to work on Berzerker then Tatanka in white pants from 1992.

i think the Funk body is a good fit for HTM

[qdogg]

Im hoping that Honky Tonk Man and Brutus will be considered by Mattel soon and maybe be a part of the Legends voting for 2013 if the line continues for another year.

[MachoManiac]

cool brother.. just Look @ the promo pics of Honky & Brutus in my Last post.. they had more character than watching most of the young guys now... for ex: i work in a gym doin personal training, and today a GORGEOUS perfect 10 lonely house wife in her mid 30's (looks like a bella twin with no ass!) came in to train and ended up telling me she "loved the wwf" growing up.. the first wrestler she mentioned Was Jake THE SNAKE Roberts & then was Brutus The BArber Beefcake...!! obviously she knows the top guys.. but for those of you who watched wwf hardcore from 88ish to the 90's... Brutus & Honky R A MUST.. no questions asked...

can sum1 maybe from mattel comment on this..?? is it even possible to make them both??... i am unaware of their contractual status if any..

[si4life02]

i used Funks body, i think it fits him the best

[jasonphoenix1]

I used Funks body and Steamboat legs with Perfect boots for mine. Other then the crappy guitars I painted on the side of the legs it looks alright.

[a666a]

That is awesome Apoc!! Loving the fix up. I think Funk and Steamboat will work perfect

[East Coast]

Is Regals body the same as Funk (i dont have funk).

maybe Regal torso, Elite 8 edge tights, Mr perfect arms and boots?

[#SHOWOFF]

I'm thinking Matt Hardy torso would work best... Jumpsuit looks great, I can't waut to see the finish product.

[Deleted]

Looks excellent, the Funk torso works the best.

[Warrior]

Nice looking custom figure..wondering will Mattel eventually release a Honky Tonk Man fig? It doesnt matter its an exclusive or an elite Flashback figure...

Hows the height ? Perfect uses the same height of boots steamboat does so i figured that would have made him a little short.

I think for sure i Will go Funk/Steamboat/Macho King boots if the height works

thnx for the pic si4life02, thats how i want him to look.... ill paint the white guitars on the side too

[Bandalero]

Wasn't Honky Tonk a bit round in the middle? I wouldn't say Dusty Rhodes fat, but maybe like Ax or Smash-thick.

[The Madness]

I'm wondering how the Volkoff torso would look, since it would put him around the same size as Hacksaw and Demolition. HTM was never that "cut."

provided the reds match up, then a Nikolai upper body/trunks with Ricky Steamboat legs and either Macho King tall white boots or Mr. Perfect/Rockers mid-sized boots.

I think body-wise it would make an accurate Honky Tonk Man.

The Pics of Honky Jumpsuit-less is for bandy - at his request , i think ill go steamboat/funk and give it a try. cammioh has pics of htm with hacksaws body. i think its good but just a little too big, just like i think funk is good but just a little too small

Million Dollar Man - I Feel Austin is the best looking body for him, but when he stands next to guys like jake or future arn i think he'll be too big, out of scale, so i tryed funk. The lower legs beneath the knee are basic as you can see.

I got Andres Singlet from Ralph. He did a great job =
