UPDATE june 24( Haku Fix up plus more!)

[Smash Ventura]

;Dnote ( update following this original post below)

Hey all,
first chance i have had inawhile to post some fresh stuff so here we go

First off we have a slightly resized Kamala...i wanted to put the "Giant" back into "Ugandan Giant"

the recipe: head and legs from Kamala figure, arms chest and crotch pice from a extra big show makes him slightly taller then my hogan who has big show boots but shorter then andre

and what would kamala be with out kim chee ?
the recipe: masked head from a pyroth or one of the lucha guys they use to sell back in the mid 90s... chest and arms are from a jakks suited body waist down is a bone crunching bossman(my brother had cut one of the leg pockets off for some reason so i had to trim the other off so it would not look odd )

"WE SNACK ON DANGER & WE DINE ON DEATH!"

recipe: ellering is the joey styles that allot of folks are using these days including me...lol
Hawk has the thick chest type commonly used on most ric flairs and the tall edge type boot mold...
animal is a hacksaw duggan type size with short kick pads

and for the one im most proud off...
My macho Man savage...

i had gotten in on the savage head sculpted by Ada and while i have been happy with how she did the hair the face was ok but seemed thin..after i saw some of wars incredable work with making the face fuller i releasied i should try and fix the face on mine if i could...

then i recalled another brilliant board member who had used the short haired ddp classic figures head as a base for his savage..and then thought what if i could combine the ddp face with the ada sculpted hair...

so i removed the face of the ada head and the face and ears of the ddp head and then glued them together...

its tricky holding a figure head and trying to virtically saw it in half...lol

i am very pleased with it as i am not good with things like sculpy at all so this idea seemed to be right up my ally...

here is a shot of the ugandan giant and macho facing off in my "LJN ARENA" and the pics of fans in the arena should be credited to wars who has been awesome in helping allot of us whip up some pretty sweet arenas


rate/hate or debate
rock on everyone:)

These are some customs and fixups including a correction made to my macho man seen above...having the face still have the ears on secound thought seem to make his head very wide so i made a adjustment and below is my revised Macho Man Savage ....





next up a fix up on the CS Haku... i love the king haku gimmick but also like putting the cs guys in there LJN counter parts look...
first a pic of the 1989 ljn haku for refference...


and now here is my new ljn styled classic Haku...




and now for more LJN styled classic super stars...

The Iron Sheik


Jake The Snake Roberts


Hacksaw Jim Duggan


Olympic Strongman Ken Petera


Greg The Hammer Valintine (No Painting,just a strait parts change)


Ravashing Rick Rude

me and my brothers use to joke that the ljn one must off by mistake super glued his hands to his tights...lol

we wanted him as kids for our collection but i wondered how moves would be limited due to his arms being down...(for those who recall the ljn rude)...

Brutus Beefcake


Rowdy Roddy Piper


Ace Cowboy Bob orton
note ( the ljn one did not have a cast on but i am very happy with how close to the ljn one he is)


WrestleMania 1 Mr T



This next pic is of the ticket promotion hogan i got for my Dad on fathers day he is pictured with the classic a team mr t my Dad got off of ebay awhile back...


you will notice he has the thunderlipps head scan...turns out my Dad prefered that scan and i prefered the ticket promotion scan so we traded hogan heads win/win

here is my custom hogan with that cool scan... you may notice the big bicep arms which came from the classic delux brutus due to the skin tone matching perfectly...

gives Hulk the 24 inch pythons look for sure and the big show boot mold which boosts hogans hight more inscale by contrast to say andre where he is a little shorter but also puts him taller then people like piper warrior and so on...




also a LJN styled Andre The Giant both long hair and short hair versions...



that wraps up the ljn styled classics...

jakks had put out a Ultimate Warrior that was in that memorable summer slam 88 gear... i made a few adjustments to him...


Big Boss Man ( i had posted this one awhile back but here he is again for those who have not seen him)


One Man Gang ( non yokozuna sized...lol)


Docter of Style Slick (how long has jakks had him signed for goodness sakes!)


and now i proudly present The Bobby Heenan Family!

Classic Heel Murocko


Missing Link " Bang your head!"

rock on everybody

Wow everyone is using those Lucha heads today. Kim Chee looks good. What body is that with RA arms? I may be crazy but your camera may be set to landscape and that's why your pics are coming out blurry. Try the close-up or portrait option. (flower or face rather than Mountains).

[Smash Ventura]

thanks for the tip T Phunk, wich ra arms are ya asking about man?

[T-Phunk]

Not asking about the arms, just the body that they are on. What body is that Kimchee figure? Is it the BCA Camera man (or referee) with RA arms attached?

[Smash Ventura]

oh,gotcha now... hes a combo build...he has the button up shirt chest like the ones on the cs vince mcmahon... i removed the tie and kept the sleved arms on him, from the waist down he is a old bone crunching boss man....suprising to me the waist on the torso and the waist on the bone crunching boss man match up perfect...then i painted everything

[XHW]

Ellering looks cool, good idea with Kamala

[bwiwrestling]

Eh, something bothers me about the LOD figures... either Animal is too short or Paul is too tall... just looks really weird to me
