Just finished my custom El Gigante based on his WCW look from 1990.   I used: Big Show Legs Great Khali Body Rick Martel Head Im happy with how it looks, hes just a bit taller than Khali. Thanks for looking. |

All I can say is WOW! I must say there is not much of a market for a ElGigante fig, but if there was you nailed it.

That Martel head is just too small for the body...other than that, nice.

The head looks better in person. Plus although El Gigante was tall he didnt have a large head like Andre, Big Show and Khali.  Notice in this pic (as giant gonazalez) he has a normal sized head. |

it's pretty good for a quick custom, but he was never that fat/wide build and i'm not sure about the head choice

The torso's too big and the head's too small. I wouldn't say he "nailed it" He also wore shorts more so than trunks.

 I think the head is a decent choice. I nthe picture above (which is more recent so he looks older) he has a similar smile, hair style to that of the Martel figure. Also the torso isnt too wide El Gigante had a wide frame with a wide torso and long arms. |

I think it works. looks pretty good man. keep it up. the head might be a lil small compared to the body, but hey, i don't think you want to sculp an entire head.

I actually really like this custom, and would have never thoguht that a Martel head would have worked for a Gigante custom! This just reminded me of when he faced One Man Gang in 1991! Good job!  . |

Simple but effective. Does the head skintone match the skintone from the rest of the body? it doesn't look like it in the pics.

Yeah, El always worn biker shorts. Otherwise, not a bad idea.

Just thinking, maye a Brutus 'The Barber' Beefcake head woul work better, as I think it's a little bigger an El Gigante always seemed mulleted anyhow, I may be wrong but if you've got the head, do a quick parts switch and see how it looks

The body works well but the head is way too small.

The head isnt too small in person. I think that it is the best choice of head available and helps create El Gigantes look as he had a smallish head on a big long body.
Thanks everyone for looking an giving feedback.
