HULK HOGAN (Pre-WWF) : Royal Rumble Ticket Series

[Deleted]

It's been nearly a month, but I've started up my Royal Rumble Ticket customs again. What can I say, life gets in the way of fun! :-)

This makes # 13 out of the 20 I plan on doing. The past ones are all listed below. Now that this one is done, I only have 7 left! I'm making 20, and each one comes with a custom 'Royal Rumble' ticket - as most of you now by now. ;-)

This time it's Hulk Hogan. I've seen a ton of Hogan customs in the past, and I wanted to be different. I don't think I've ever seen Hogan in this outfit before - an outfit that he DID wear in his pre-WWF days. I also gave him some "real" chest hair.





He's already up on ebay, so click the banner below to check him out.

As for the other ones that have been done, here's the full list:

Rumble 1988 Ticket w/ The Missing Link
Rumble 1992 Ticket w/ G.I. Joe Sgt. Slaughter
Rumble 1993 Ticket w/ Flair 3 Pack
Rumble 1994 Ticket w/ Deluxe Ultimate Warrior
Rumble 1997 Ticket w/ Raven & ECW Title
Rumble 1998 Ticket w/ Mr. McMahon
Rumble 1999 Ticket w/ TO BE ANNOUNCED LATER
Rumble 2000 Ticket w/ The Mountie w/ RCMP Jacket
Rumble 2001 Ticket w/ The Shockmaster
Rumble 2002 Ticket w/ Giant Machine
Rumble 2003 Ticket w/ Hulk Hogan (Pre-WWF)
Rumble 2004 Ticket w/ Chris Jericho
Rumble 2005 Ticket w/ Steve Austin (3:16 era)
Rumble 2006 Ticket w/ Owen Hart

looks cool but the chest hair bothers me.
not my fav. from your series

[The Assassin]

how did you do the chest hair? it looks pretty good to me

[great1]

Personally I would have used the Thunderlips head and trimmed DA kneedpads but since you are selling it I don't think it would make a huge difference.

nice work man keep it up

Looks good but the chest hair is a little dark compared to the ref pic. It's mor like a fix up except for the painted hair and mustache.

Tell me HOW it's a fix up? Fix ups don't require new torsos, paint, etc. Basically they don't require any work at all.

How is this a fix up? 5 Different figures are involved in this... that to me is not a fix-up. Seriously - I'd like to hear your reasoning for this being a fix-up?

To the rest, thanks for the kudos and comments. ;-)

So you would rather have painted on hair over "real' hair?

Why is when prototypes for figures are shown with real hair, and they get released with painted hair - people get angry then?

Painted hair (in my opinion) looks good on some figures, but others - not so great. Jakks has shown they can do the "real hair" deco - so I would expect that from them from now on.... which is why I did the "real hair" thing as well. ;-)

Sorry but the chest hairs looks very weird. It doesn't look like chest hair. It looks like tassles. But otherwise it's nice.

Nice custom

[Cammi Oh]

The chest hair looks like metal shavings.

LOL!!! Someone sent me a remark like that on ebay as well!

When I sent him the close up pic, he was happy with it. ;-)

Thanks again guys!

looks realy good i like the chest hair

[Titantrap: Gold Club Veteran]

i think ppl are saying fix up because it looks like a fix up, no disrespect, but how would we know switched torso's, Hogan's come with that torso. That aside, the chest hair is entirely to thick, DA kneepads would've been better. Overall, it's a simple custom, it accomplishes what it tries to, good luck on ebay. You're others are far better though
