Thanks guys, The Head and body are Del Rio , Ive tried the rock a few times but it always looked like The rock. Thankfully this del rio scan looks off enough that i could use it

Nice work as always.
Question: why did you get rid of Brodus Clay's tattoos?

Wow you really went all out on this one! As a 1990s golden age fan myself, this is awesome dude. That Hercules is my favorite though, as simple as it looks in comparision. Herc' never seems to get figure treatment no matter who has the WWE license

Looks great buddy. I actually like the use of the Del Rio in this application. While I think the Rock's build and skintone look better for Barbarian, I agree that the head screams Rock a little too much. The boots on this thing are definitely my favorite part. They look great. I like your use of what Mattel has released modded slightly to work for this figure. Its very creative. Your stuff is always fun to see as it's usually not only creative but very resourceful as well. I love seeing that.
I have a brown Orton shirt by the way and always interested in parts. Shoot me a PM if you'd like.

Herc looks spot on. And that's the best barbarian I've seen.

Apoc - for a plastic fur cape - look up Masters of the Universe Classics Vikor - he would have the perfect accessory - come to think of it, he's got a skull and bones necklace that might work for you too. Here's some pics I took when I had him in my collection: (thought I had a pic of his cape in the back but I can't find it now)

Thanks for the Kinds Words ClassicDa's , Ive been a fan of your work Since i collected CSDA figures. I tried to put this Del Rio Scan on the Rocks Body but it sat way too high and the skin tone was a little off, I loved how wide this Del Rio scan was and knew it would work. As for the Beard and Boots - Sculpty , Ordered Apoxie clay but couldnt wait, The Fur on the Boots are Golddusts Fur from his Robe, Modified, Shrunk by carving the insides. The Necklace is Papa Shangos and the Two Skulls are from the Shango Necklace - One Skull Cut in Two The Gauntlets and Belt/Fur Trunks are From the E.G Triple H, I shortened the height of the belt a little, and the headband is E.G Triple H's with Antlers carved from Bulldog Boot Tassels. This was Probably the Most fun Custom Ive done yet, Just need a Plastic Fur Cape and It'll be Complete. As for the Collection Pics, Ill try to get some done tomorrow Im waiting on one more figure and a head in the mail and Im gonna start my Natural Disasters Bandy - I should have Guessed Masters of the Universe.... That Looks like it would work great

triple h boppv robe thing is also brown or atleast mine seems that way since the whole inside is brown. I always figured the outside must be painted black and silver. If that helps any. I also have a extra one if interested I'm always looking for parts. You could probably make both pieces you wanted from that cape also.

Thanks guys, Im Really Happy with it too, Considering my other attempts were such bombs. I decided im gonna try the BOPPV HHH Cape, It wont be completely accurate but I can modify it to work. Ive Tried to Talk RoLPH into making a Premium Barbarian Cape but No Dice, thats ok cuz I'd rather it done in plastic anyhow, Two more Accessories to make and this will be Done.
Just waitin on parts for Quake and Typhoon then Im gonna get Sculpting/Painting
