I really like the concept of Hogan and Warrior. Nice job on both.
Too Cool are awesome. I so wish we'd got/get those. I don't particular like the pants mold for Grand Master though.

100% the best Mr. America sculpt I've ever seen...100% ****tiest custom!...Stupid idea, I wouldn't but it at all! I don't like the idea of the whole "throw his gimmicks into one" thing.  Thanks for the feedback. I pride myself on originality. If a Hornswoggle made from various (non-WWE) figures, or a Randy Savage with a blatantly obvious head, Owen Hart made from Kenny from the Spirit Squad, or Sting made from every person with blond spiked hair (i.e. Kennedy with facepaint slapped on) is what you are looking for, then my auctions certainly are not the place for you sir. Originality is essential. Thank you for your blatant and uncouth opinion. At any rate, attempt to have respect though, unless you have customs as a basis of comparison. I wasn't trying to be an ass about it. I'm sorry you took it like that. I was simply trying to say I didn't like the concept, which I could have stated less harsh....But still...That sculpt is a kick ass one!! |

sweet, nice work indeed, originality is what i reply to these days, after coming on here for pretty much 7 years, you get to se the same thing quite a lot, and when leaving comments, you end up repeating yourself a lot. Not bknocking other peoples customs what so ever, but 'different' is what i like to check out, 'diferent done well', is what im all about, and you have captured this greatly.
I agree, the doink/josh hybrid was unreal, i have seen another since then, slightly different, equally as good.
Yours however are also very nice, the Hogan made me laugh originally, not because of how it came out, but because of the scenario it created in my head...
'Hogan, 5 years from now, still doing his best to get in the ring, problem is, too much time on the sunbed has turned him potty', he's lost his mind and cant figure out if he is a face or a heel, a super hero or a wrestler'. Quiky idea for a fig fed.
Same for warrior, it made me think of the early 90's when he was spending time in the darkside with undertaker, confussed JIM.
The other figs are nice, they very clean and well painted.
Good work overall, Warrior and Hogan are the prizes.

WOW!Talk about customs!Your "hybrid" Warrior is awesome.The Hulk Hogan is an idea i thought of back when they released the mail away Hogan two in one figure(my my painting and sculpting skills are no where near your level of talent though).I would have bought The Two cool set,if Jakks had made em' that way.The Shawn is a simple concept, but such a smooooooth paint job, it is definately a figure i would buy if Jakks put one out.I like to gaze upon your customs,keep up the great work.
May i give you some ideas for future customs?:I like the hybrid idea
Razor/Diamond S. hybrid
Akeem/OMG hybrid
Goldust/Dustin rhodes (young wcw Dustin) I think this one would be a GREAT challenge
El Gigante/Giant Gonzalez
I know some of these may be obvious,but im just trying to spike some creative juices.
New Rockers!Marty and Leif ("Al Snow") Casidey (sp)
Mantuar
Alundra Blaze
Bertha Faye!SWEET
Thanks, take care.

they all look awesome. scotty seems alittle tall tho. by my eye it seems as tho the pants may be different than the ones used on grandmasta making him taller. but all very good. i hate mr america as a gimmick. but that head u did is out of this world.

Not a fan of the "hogan hybrid" maybe it's the color combo.Love the warrior though,way to be creative.Looks like something he actually might have tried back in the day.

That'd be a great figure. I always was a fan of Hall also. Deepfreeze already did a Hall/Razor custom I believe. It was phenomenal. Thanks for the feedback. |

I was originally planning to make a complete Mr. America, but got lazy when painting the stars and stripes. For anyone that has ever attempted this figure, it is ridiculously difficult. I thought it up while failing at the America custom. |

I noticed that when they were completed. I used the Spirit Squad pants for these, and didn't realize the difference. In the package, they look incredible. Check them out on ebay. Thanks for the comments. |

I dont understand the hybrid concept.. Unlike the present-day wrestling "stars," former wrestling icons went through various eras in their career, where they saw many character (and gimmick) changes. A "hybrid" figure celebrates the various eras of wrestling's stars by combining eras into one figure. Present personalities have not undergone many drastic changes (for example, Randy Orton has ALWAYS been Randy Orton). It is mostly my artistic prerogative. |
