Great job all around.
I don't like the overall concept for the Hogan including all the gimmicks, however the execution is perfectly done.
Warrior looks great, the split era on him, painting is done perfectly.
Shawn is my favorite of the bunch. This is my favorite era for him, and we don't see many customs of this era(granted many on this board are too young to remember it well) I enjoy seeing this era of custom.
Too Cool looks great, though I would have given Brian Christopher a bigger torso. He always looked much more stacked than Scotty. Great parts choices otherwise and paint jobs are superb.

If I saw that Too Cool 2 pack in stores, they would instantly have my $17. That's how impressed I am with those.

This Warrior depicts the "ultimate one" from his 1991-92 days when he returned to the WWF (in the post-steroid days). His attire is based on a photo I saw online. His face is airbrushed on. In my opinion, a much better representation of the Warrior than the CS14 Terminator/Warrior figure. *This figure will be on ebay tonight.* I was not pleased at all when I saw that Jeff Hardy was in the CS line, due to the fact that he already has approximately 24,591 figures. I took this one, and customized it based on his TNA look (2004). Reference picture is below.   This figure completes the Hart Foundation with Bret Hart's CS 13 release. Why would Jakks choose to release a single figure that depicts the person from a tag team era? Neidhard is painted exactly like Hitman's CS13 release.  Another disappointment was when Jakks released the Eddie Guerrero figure that depicts Eddie as The Black Tiger. The figure minus the mask is Eddie Guerrero in Black tiger attire. This is the same concept as releasing Ax or Smash in black studded attire, and no facepaint. This is "Black Tiger," complete with mask.  Lastly for this week, this is the Warrior from Halloween Havoc 1998, when he faced "Hollywood Hogan." This is one of my favorite Warrior looks. It is shown MOC, and includes the "Ringside Collectibles-like sticker.  |

that Warrior is insane. I haven't seen anyone use an airbrush in years on this site.
I'm really impressed with your stuff. You are an excellent painter. Do you make stuff for your personal collection? Or do you just make stuff strictly for ebay?

Do you make stuff for your personal collection? Or do you just make stuff strictly for ebay? Thanks for the feedback. It's not actually airbrushed. I hand painted it. Warrior's was airbrushed. I wish I had those skills! I don't actually collect my work. I paint it and sell it. I enjoy painting, but have every CS figure ever made (with the exception of the "impossibles" like 1/25 Flair, and a few of the 1/100's). I don't collect my own because I'd have about 5000. I keep all the photos of them. |

I can't foresee that in the near future though. Maybe submitted for an event or something. I do like RVD as a wrestler, so I'd do that. |

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. I knew what you were going for..But i wasnt sure why you were doing it..But its unique so cool lol.. |

Ahh! So your he guy who makes all these great customs on eBay.. I gotta say, your Warriors are incredible, i was amazed when i saw the Halloween Havoc one. Jeff looks pretty well done as does the sculpted mask on Black Tiger. I think Anvil's attire may be off abit as i remember PJ saying something like his boots were white and didn't match Bret's. Still you produce some amazing stuff, keep it up!

All amazing work. I love the idea of Hogan Hybrid on pg 1
Your Jeff Hardy Classic is top notch
The 1991-1992 Warrior is amazing. The original is my favorite Classic Warrior...but yours is even better. Awesom, awesome job.
Painting looks crisp, neat & smooth, and your ideas are great
