That looks great, I like the plastic look waaay better than cloth.
I've been waiting on a decent Barbarian figure for over 20 years now. You'd think that some toy company would have done one of WWF's coolest looking gimmicks ever some justice.
Barbarian is arguably the most glaring omission in the Hasbro line, IMO. He would have been a perfect fit.

I hear ya , Jakks Barbarian Was so Cheap.... He should have at least had His Trunk Fur.... I was really dissapointed with both Warlord and Barbarian from Jakks for that, they deserved CSDA's if for nothing else then just the accessories
Barbarian would have been a Great Hasbro as well. Im hoping one Day mattel makes him in all his Fur and Antler Wearing glory, Same with Warlord, I think they have enough cool accessories that even kids who never heard of them would buy them.

The Powers of Pain were always a favourite tag team of mine, and I especially loved their singles gimmicks/attires. But either Barbarian really pissed off marketing or he just has the worst luck of securing royalties like an action figure.
LJN missed him, Hasbro missed him, Jakks made a terrible version of him, and Mattel isn't even hinting at him...

Can you do anything about sitting the heads lower on the neck? They look bobbly, especially from the side - maybe it's reforming the hair to fall down more I don't know. I'll tell you what though, that Typhoon head would make a killer Steve "Dr. Death" Williams!
Edit: Looking at that head more and more I'd definitely be interested in using it for a Dr. Death if ever you make a second.

Looking good but the heads seem a little too big.

They Do Look a little big, this def wont be the end all be all of Natural Disasters... Im just hoping its passable so I can live with it . The heads do sit a little high but im not sure I can lower them anymore. I was thinking of using the serious Brodus scan for earthquake and the smiling brodus for typhoon. But when I seen Smearone1994's quake I thought it was pretty bad ass and used it here.
Ill probably make a typhoon out of the smiling brodus tomorrow to see if it works any better, the serious brodus scan has a longer face more like earthquakes so if the smiling face works for typhoon ill try the other on quake
Bandy its just a Serious Brodus Face with Kerry Von Erich hair.... just carve part of the brodus head so the hair fits

your typhoon head bears an odd resemblance to Dr. Death Steve Williams.

i'd say the smiling brodus scan works much better for Typhoon. His serious scan is dead on Dr. Death. I did like that original Earthquake head that that person did for you though - it's just that they are sitting to high for some reason - it might be the hair that throws it off. It's weird because these are the brodus heads that come with those bodies to begin with.

I loved those guys as a Road Warriors clone tag-team, but I kinda hated the singles attire. I thought the Warlord looked kinda cool, but the Barbarian looked like a goof. I agree Jakks dropped the ball with their lazy ass versions (I was always gonna order attire for the singles and tag versions from Ralph). I would love to see Mattel make their tag attire with entrance gear. Heck, we could use another attire for the Road Warriors/LOD, too! But that custom looks pretty fantastic, I gotta say.

Nice. Earthquake works really well As for typhoon i dun remember him smiling.. but still looks like him though. I think they need larger arms.
