The Ultimate Challenge

[Deleted]

Here is my first attempt at a custom Ultimate Warrior. I based his attire on "The Ultimate Challenge" promo poster for Wrestlemania VI. It is pretty much spot on except for the paint. The Hogan is the figure from the TRU figure/belt exclusive. This is my second custom, any encouragement/constructive criticism is appreciated!

awsome job, love the idea too. if that pack came out, i would buy it no doubt.

Nice work on the figs. But the Warrior is a lil lumpy on the paint. Keep it up!

Thats a great idea. the ultimate warrior is great ive always wanted a green attire one and the hogan is also nice

That's really good, that attire is the one I want most on a CS Warrior, if the upcoming Warrior figure doesn't have that outfit I will definately make one aswell. You did a great job on it, I would give it another coat of paint on the trunks to smooth it out a bit, maybe mix a tiny bit of water with the paint so it's thinner and gives a smoother finish. The only other suggestion is maybe move the boot cover tassles down slightly and trim them and then paint on the logos on the boots. It already looks really nice though, that's just a couple of suggestions to make it perfect IMO. It's annoying how the arm tassles get caught in the bicep joint on all CS Warriors, you can carefully pull them out which looks better. I really hate that Hogan figure but that's not your fault, I wanted a Hulk Rules Hogan more than any other figure and when Jakks finally make one they give it cruiserweight arms and torso and ruined it! I bought a Hulk Rules custom shirt from Ralph's Figure Clothing on ebay and put it on a Megamaniacs Hogan and it looks amazing.
I rate your Ultimate Warrior 9/10
I rate Jakks' Hulk Hogan 3/10

Some of Warrior's paint lines are a little jagged but nothing major. I am wondering if you put on a coat of sealer because the will help help the colors to really pop. Over all it is a very nice job.

that's incredible!
Warrior looks cool but the paint is a bit lumpy but it still looks incredible!
8.5/10

Thanks for the kind words, yeah I did have a problem with lumpy paint/shaky hands. I have always bought every Classic Ultimate Warrior I've seen on pegs so I hope to try out many different attires that Jakks has not released and hopefully my painting will get better. Having 5 minutes to yourself is hard with a wife and 3 kids!

damn really cool man cool idea for real. just wondering did you have to remove the paint that came with before painting on the face?

[Deleted]

No, I primered over the existing paint and then added my colors.

Nice work dude - my criticism would only be the lumpy paint on his trunks

Looks really good overall. Paint is a bit sloppy in places, but good none the less. Great set to sell.
