THIS. I would love to buy/request some. Keep up the great work.

DUDE, FANTASTIC!!! I love the little hair tie in the back of the hair! (he used to do that in WCW 90-91ish!) Sooo cool man, you are the man!

[Glorydaysofwrestling]

Wow! I love these. ..did you ever wind up selling any?

[whydraft2]

Impressive man ! That picture with cactus vs vader is amazing
Do you make cast of them ?

[Glorydaysofwrestling]

I'll throw out a suggestion of Beautiful Bobby Eaton from his 92 dangerous alliance days.

I don't know what to say other than wow. These are beyond amazing. You are the by far the best customizer on WF. I've got some requests of my own:

Big Van Vader's Entrance Mask
Great Muta's Entrance Attire
Accurate Title Belts - Heavyweight, US, TV, Lightweight, Tag and eventually the NWA belts
Managers - Paul E, Alexandria York, Teddy Long, Gary Hart, Harley Race, etc
Tony Schavonie
Gary Michael Capetta (the greatest ring announcer of all time)
Abdullah the Butcher
Tully Blanchard
Jushin Thunder Lyger
Alex Wright

I could go on and on. But what I really want are older NWA and puro guys. I'd also like to see a different Muta. TBH, I don't care for the one you did. A different pose would look better. I would also REALLY like to see your take on figures that Galoob put out; fix what you think they did wrong. I think you could do a better job on their figures than they did.

Been a LONG time, anymore to come?

Very clean and well done. Nice addition to the Galoob collection!

[leehellewelluk]

These are great. Despite being totally inanimate, I always liked how the old WCW figures were much better representations of the wrestlers than the WWF Hasbro figures. Your figures are easily as good as the originals.

Greatest customs I have ever seen! I was primarily a collector of WWF stuff at this time in my childhood, but I think overall I enjoyed these Galoobs more than the Hasbros.

It's been OVER 1 year since this thread has been posted on, but I joined the site just to post here and comment on how truly AMAZING this collection is, and just how ridiculously talented the OP really, truly is!! These figures are all over the internet under "custom galoob" and being an avid collector of figures from the era of my youth, this is fantastic!! I'm hoping the OP is still around and can spark something in him to continue this amazing collection… or to sell it off, wink! wink!?

Thank you, thank you for your hard work on this! It's amazing to see such talent and attention to detail!

It's been a long time coming, but here is the 10th figure in my Custom WCW Galoob series. Ricky Steamboat!!!

The big decision with this figure was deciding what era of Steamboat's career i should depict. His NWA / WCW tenure before "The Dragon"  WWF run in 1990, Or his return to WCW late in 1991. 
Sounds like a small difference, but his hair was shorter and his attire became more varied with more graphic designs on his return to WCW post WWF.

Ultimately, i favored the simplicity of the Red and White attire Steamboat wore at Wrestlwar 89' in his legendary rubber match with Ric Flair.  Its almost (but not quite the same as his WM3 attire)  but lets not get into that now, lol.

Many of the 1st series of WCW Galoob figures had simple colour schemes i.e Luger: Blue, Black & white , Sid Vicious: Black & White, Flair: Light Blue & Dark Blue etc etc. I felt that this look, would fit nicely with that element of the early collection.

The pose I have chosen allows for optimum Diving Crossbody action, but there are subtle differences from previous figures in the collection that had similar "Arms raised" poses; The stance has one foot in front of the other, both hands are open; not a clenched fist like Sting or making a claw shaped hand like Pillman. 

Hope you enjoy looking.... Theres more on the way, and it should'nt take the best part of two years  to finish this time. :-)

Thanks again to everyone who's commented previously on this thread with your insights, Ideas and compliments. Its all very much appreciated!

Absolutely incredible work! I loved galoobs and WCW from that time so much. Even if these don't ever make it up for sale they are great to see, thanks for sharing.

[aaron34]

Amazing work! Some of the best customs out there!!

[robbutler01]

Once again you smashed it! Awesome custom!
Was beginning to think you left the forum for other things. Look forward to the future ones as always! Any clues?

[Deleted]

I registered for the forum just to compliment you on how incredible these all are. Your Rick Rude almost made me teary eyed. So amazing. I've seen plenty of suggestions thrown around, but I think a Marcus Bagwell (pre-Buff, American Males, etc) would be neat, as would a Paul E. Dangerously. Especially since you've already made yourself a portion of the Dangerous Alliance.
