Hey man, you think you could like throw all your pics in a photobucket. Especially your indy guys, like Mitch, Rollin, Ian, etc. Hey Nick, I'll see if I can dig up some of those old photo's of the IWA Mid South customs. I have em somewhere on disk? My thoughts go out to Rollin's family and friends. I heard the news.  To clear up a few rumors as to what I've been up to the last 5 years or so. NO : I've never done any work for JAKKS YES: I've done some freelance work for McFarlane, not a lot. I'm currently work for a toy company in Chicago. But it's all digital sculpting which is where a lot of the industry is headed anyway. (I'll post some of my digital sculpts later.) Sculpting digitally is an entirely different process, which is why I decided to start getting my hands dirty again during my personal time at home just to keep my skills up, thus the Joe & AJ. |

The rumor of you working for Jakks must have been like the 6 Warriors and 4 are dead rumor. Glad to see you back man! |

Good lord. This brings back memories of the Custom Countdown and all of the amazing customizers that used to be here. For those that don't know...customizing used to be insane around here. Not saying the guys that customize today don't do a good job. It's just that...the guys back in the day utilized everything they had and it was a big deal. Creating body parts from scratch, the whole nine yards.
Great to see you back Baity. Hope you stick around

I've always loved your customs/sculpts, it was definitely one of the reasons I joined these forums. The AJ looks wicked, I still can't believe how amazing you are at sculpting. I'd definitely like to check out your digital sculpts. Nice to see you back here.

I was the big cheese of full sculpts before you came around! haha. Those are all excellent! It really gives me some inspiration to get out of the sculpting slump I'm in. I realize now I have a long ways to go. How long have you been sculpting for? One again, they are all brilliant.

I hope you do not mind me posting this, but this is Baitys Goldberg I got when I googled WWE Baity  I remember seeing this years ago and was amazed. The Joe and AJ are amazing, the likeness is scary, I would buy them in a heartbeat. Since you are starting the figs from scatch and not using other heads, it would be great if you created someone like a Macho Man. |

I'm sure Baity would've accepted the rediculous amount of money everyone paid Ada to make that half-resembling Macho sculpt, and the end result would've been remarkable.
I wish you still posted regularly, Baity. You've always been an inspiration to guys like me. I've improved greatly in the past couple years, and it would be cool to see your opinion on some of my figures.

I don't like Joes head that much, Idk why. And AJ has too much of a six pack. But AJ's scan is aesome and so is that goldbergs. Do you draw well? And how do you do this stuff lol?
