I was watching the "Monday Night Wars" most recent edition and noticed this. My jaw dropped. Being kinda obsessed with wrestling buddies I'm now stuck with a lot of questions! I knew of the Diesel and Bret prototypes that were pictured and I have shown off the proof of the Atlantis buddy in the past... But I never saw this. I apologize if this has been mentioned here previously. Enjoy!
And heck why not (some of you may not know me or view the customs section). My most recent creation (im making one exclusive buddy per month for sale on ebay and never releasing the print or making it again so the buyer has something unique):

There was a vader and flair proto also. I own the proto of the big 3 foot tall figure he's holding but the buddy proto has never surfaced.

Thank you... and now I'm starting a Vader buddy art lol. Those are hideous, but I'm so glad I saw them.

Did you ever get caught up on your orders? I recall some people complaining of having paid but not getting their orders? You might recall the bam bam doll I made. I never constructed any more after that but still have fabric for another bam bam, 2 razor ramons and 2 giant Gonzalez's

The one in Hogan's hands looks a little like a custom Tonka.

I bought a Daniel Bryan buddy off someone over the summer on ebay that needed quick cash. Always wanted it, marked out when I saw someone selling it.

I never constructed any more after that but still have fabric for another bam bam, 2 razor ramons and 2 giant Gonzalez's lol im not Shawn Cowan of rassle pals if that's what your thinking. My name is Michael Anthony. I started making buddies after being ripped off (and hearing from several people and a few fellow wrestlers being ripped off) by Shawn. I never got behind on any orders had 100% satisfaction from every sale I made. Treated every customer/potential customer with respect and had many repeat buyers. I stopped making buddies after November of last year (just made buddies for independent wrestlers). Im now back to producing 1 ebay buddy a month and selling one unique print a month. Not taking any orders is less time consuming and my art is better because I know what I want to make, I can visualize it and thus the art is getting way better! I am really interested to see the buddies you are talking about of Bam Bam.

I was never pleased with my art on his face on that one and its taking a while to get his face right this time around too.

Oh, ok. You're the other guy. I preferred the rassle pals but this bret you've made looks great. Better than all your previous ones but my main issue has always been how you drew the eyes which are disguised on bret.

No denying my older art on the buddies was not as good as it is now (and I liked the rassle pals too, just the guy was a con artist and stole a lot of money from people). How do you consider the new art?:

They're much improved. I've never been a fan of the hatching on the shadows. I'd just settle on a shape that helps define the contours and leave it at that. Your highlights and shadows are all kinda nonspecific. The facial likenesses are all terrific and the line quality you have on the beard of the bushwhacker is great. I'd want you to do something similar with Rowan. I have lots of other minor criticisms but overall, I really like them.

I have stuck with the "Tonka" style art on the muscle lines etc. Any pictures of that Bam Bam and others you mentioned?
