I called it in the competition thread. I knew Gate would make that Jarrett. It looks great.
Awesome customs from everybody. I will have an in-depth review later on tonight. But let me say DAMN, JAY IMPRESSED THE HELL OUT OF ME.
TCKDeen has really outdone himeself with this one.
dream I feel you were far too hard on yourself on your custom. It turned out great. Titans is nice as well I'm going to have to google that person though because I have no idea who it is.

3 Mutas
2 Flairs
2 Double J's
I feel sorry for the judges this is a tough one .My fav custom of the card besides mine is Scorpion.
Second is Hasbro Muta great detail on such a small scale very tight match but if I was to vote I'll give it to Scorpion.
1st match: I give it to myself .The Tito looks great and clean but the flames are lacking.
2nd match:BOOKER, simply beacuse I like him as a wrestler and more detail work.
3rd match:CRUSH, the glove doesnt work , but seemed slightly more difficult to pull off.
4th match:WILL FERREL, looks more like the character
5th match:like I said earlier that Muta looks insane !! but i gotta give it to Scorpion.
6th match:SANDMAN'S, even though he is still dealing with size of the heads it looks better
7th match:JAY's, looks just like a younger flair when he won the title
8th match:GORE's ,simply because the head choice looks a little better

My my, this is truely an unreal thread.
In my eyes:
Delerious vs Ortiz - Although both figures were of a decent quality, the Ortiz head just looks to much like angle, and its pushing me towrads voting for Delerious. Really good effort and claps to both of you though.
Reckless Youth vs Booker -Youth looks good based on the pics on page 2, a lot of work going in to the leg region. The eyes are slightly off, somthing i understand is now fixed. I dont like the red elbow pad either, just looks too shiney. The booker is also a decent effort, i think the parts choice is quite good although im not a fan of the flames and the hair sculpt. Although both are nice, i think Youth looks cleaner, so i pick Youth
NOD Crush vs Golga - Hasbros are my thing and the golga is a really decent custom. Im not crazy about the mask but the sculpt on the pants are fantastic, i also really like the shirt, lovely job. I had to go with crush though, its great, i love it, its simple but is mint, sooo smooth, id add it to my collection, at first i didnt really like the face, but on reflection, its really good. Well done guys, but im tipping crush.
Chazz Michael Michaels vs Jason Gideon - after seeing the refs, im gonna have to go with chazz, its based on the character rather than the detail seeing as both customs are very good. I have no prior knowledge of either character, and now i have looked back at them and the ref pics, its soooo very close. Both heads are great, both painting's are simple but nice and clean.
Initial gut feeling says chazz, so thats what im picking. Good stuff both of you.
Sandmans Muta - i cant help but see this one as being a lot better than Gates, realism wins out. Gates looks fun but sandmans just rocks, plain as that. I hope this does not sound rude although im sure it does, but although both customs are detailed and clean, Gates almost looks like a 3rd party companys version of Sandmans official version. I tried to say that with tact as its not a knock but in comparison, i hope you see what i mean.
The detail in sandmans is pure class, the scale, the dragon, the paint work and im partial to the random posed figure every now and again. - Sandman wins
Gates Jeff - Both are fantastic, really really great, i will be honest, the attire is what won it. Any points that Gate lost on the Muta he more than made up for on this. Infact i think gore has caught the look 'facially' better, i think it looks more like jeff. But Gates version just thrills me, the attire is sweet, so clean. Really difficult choice, both are great but gate just gets it.
jays RIC FLAIR - coin toss. Its gonna have to be preference based on more than just quality, and i prefered Jays era flair, simple as that. It is such a tough choice as both look soooooo good. Well done.
Everything above are my picks on initial gut feeling, it can be tricky to pick why i like one more than an other when there is not much between them, like the JJ & Ric face offs, but i will make a detailed response at a later.
Now, SCORPION vs MUTA.
i honestly can not pic, i think the majority may pic scorpion due to the scale well, and how mint it is. I hope the Muta is not overlooked due to it being a hasbro, in fairness thats whats making it difficult.
Both are perfect in their own respect and i can not decide. When i saw Scorp, my eyes started to pop, without thinking i just presumed it the winner without seeing the competition. Then i scrolled and saw Muta, unreal, truely unrealy.
Seriously, the pair of you should be very very happy with these, i presume they were sculpted and parts were picked, i.e, i hope the scorpion is not just a modified figure from an MK line. I assume its not... man, i keep looking at them whilst typing this and its not getting any easier. The modeling and paint work is insane.
edit - gonna have to pick muta, its a hasbro and thats the reason it wins, sorry, but thats the case.
WELL DONE

Man, this is one of the best shows ever as far as overall quality of customs. I don't know if you've ever felt like a spectral lollipop was hanging grimly over your head like a riced-out sword of damocles, but that's pretty much the idea. Jay's flair is one of the best customs i've seen in a long time. Really accurate and realistic. I love the abs. I will judge later

Like I said previously, WOW with everything! I want everyone to know that you all did great..
Winners:
- MrSaveUs: Still resembles Angle, but I like the logos you painted and it's a very affective figure..
- Nova: I'm a huge fan of Harlem Heat and I think you pulled off Booker very well. Looks clean..
- ClassicCollector: I really like the parts used and I think you pulled off the tattoo on his head perfectly..
- NYDream: Love the look of it and the work you put into it. You're really coming along nicely with each figure..
- Deen: The Scorpion is by far ofne of the best customs I've ever seen when it comes to detail. You did an amazing job sculpting and painting..
- Sandman: I remember you showing me the prototypes for this and I was impressed then. You did a great job all around and by far showing a much cleaner look with your figures with this one..
- Jay: I also remember you showing me proto's of this as well and I was a little off about the hair, but now that it's painted I see what you were going for. That Flair is insane and by far better than anything Jakks could pull off. Great work!
- GateCitySinner: The painting on your JJ is sooo clean! I really love the paint job and work you did with this..

I contacte a big group of people to judge..... over 10 atleast. The first 5-7 of them are official judges...... But im going to review their reviews of the customs to see if their input was solid judging.

1. Mrsaveus, simply yo me looks way more clean.
2.Nova, because it looks a little better in my view. Good Match
3. Classiccollector, because it is waaaay cleaner than biohazards.
4.Titantrap, it is cleaner, and looks more professional. Dream almost won this, and if he does, he deserves the title
5.Deen, looks mad awesome, and looks really good.
6.Sandman, because it looks reallly good and just a hair better than GCS.
7. Jay, simply because it was battledamaged and it really caught the look of a battle damaged figure
8. Gatecitysinner, it looks better than jakks, its just an awesome custom, and its captures his look great.

  The Black and White is for the Hair and the white wrist tape. The color one is obviously for the shirt. I didn't have a jester hat, so I put Reckless in a Crown. He was also known for sunglasses, so that's why he's rocking them in a few pictures. Late 90s Reckless Youth Reference   I took this pic because I had two different legs and a different crotch piece and I wanted people to know that I painted the jean shorts myself. I used two different heads to reflect his different hair styles. So please go to the photobucket and look at all the pictures. I also redid the eyes. |
