Alright, so I'm sitting here making figures and I get an email for an order. Turns out the guy loves gimmicks, and who can blame him. He gives me a list of guys, some of whom were on TV for less than 6 weeks(see Black Blood), but luckily I have a lot of free time and tons of magazines and tapes. Below are a crap load of guys, maybe you've heard of them, maybe not. The last 2 are Brad Armstrong gimmicks, and lord knows I love BA. Here are a few quick notes- Waylon Mercy has all of his tattoos except for CRUCIFY on his chest, cause he only had that the last few matches. I did all the other though, my camera isn't good but you can tell they are there, and I assure you they look better in person. They're all words except the dagger. Black Blood's kneepads and mask are supposed to resemble battle axes. There are 2 pictures of the Luger from the same angle, but one shoes the tights better and the other the face. Big Josh will look better when I make his flannel shirt, I also plan to include an axe handle for him. Please don't be too cruel on me for the Blue Blazer, I grew up loving Owen and try and mimic him inside the ring, so it pains me when my works of him is sub-par.

Funny how he's in this post full of gimmicks, seeing as how his gimmick was that he had no gimmick. The thing over his lip is glare from the light hitting the gloss. I used the ripped torso cause every now and again he would drop some weight and look fantastic. This is how I remember Candido. Enjoy    |

BADSTREET CUSTOM! So phenominal, yet so random.. I love it.. I assume said orderer is gonna need a Jimmy Garvin custom as well, in rocker gear..
Mercy is great and the head is fantastic. I also like how clean the white looks, which is hard to do with white.
The others are pretty good

Black Blood looks like a guy straight from some S and M porno. Must be the long armbands, he had to wear them to cover up all his Oregon tattoos, lol |

Man! The memories!
Waylon Mercy looks great. The head, te tattoos, everything is awesome. A tropical shirt, like from Carlito or Lou Albano, would've made the figure absolutely perfect.
I can't say I remember Black Blood, but the custom looks very good.
Big Josh, wow, as if Matt Borne portraying Doink wasn't WrestleCrap-ish enough. The Big John head works perfectly for Big Josh. The flannel shirt should really help the figure. I also like the detail put into the lumber socks.
Luger looks amazing. Not the greatest head choice, but I can't think of a better head to use, so it fits.
I don't see anything too wrong with the Blue Blazer. Its a simple, but it still looks good.
Badstreet is flawless. Can't see anything wrong with him. The detail is spot on.
Arachnaman? Don't remember that one. But, it looks like you put a lot of time trying to make the webs as perfect as possible, and it really shows.
An amazing batch of figures. Nothing really too wrong with any of them. Calling this a walk down memory lane would be an understatement.

The only guys I remember are The Blue Blazer, Arachnaman, and vaguely Waylon Mercy, but my favorite figure is Black Blood, I'd buy that even not knowing who he is, a fantastic job, absolutely perfect!

They are all awesome! Like triplew said , you don't see them often. My favorites are Badstreet and Arachnaman! Please send me a PM on how to make them. I send you karma! Many of the coolest and funniest gimmicks never get any sort of figure let alone customs!
They are are done really nicley! Have you though of a Max Moon or the Tecno Team 2000(was that thier names?).Anyway, I am working on some customs that many don't see. I am doing a Bull Nakano cause she was the crapto me back in the day! And I am still trying (more like dragging my feet) on a Sweet Sapphire.
kudos and karma again dude!
