Sycho Sid

[psychoandy]

I don't actually post on here all too often, but I poke around once a week or so to see what's going on in the land of wrestling customs. I just finished this figure tonight, and thought I'd see what people had to say about it.

I had a Heidenreich laying around that I didn't particularly need for anything else, so I figured, what the hell? I sanded down his tattoos (that's what the scuffing on the arms and forehead is...They look much worse in the photos than IRL), and sculpted and the mullet. I also swapped his boots out with those of a Tyson Tomko figure, and swapped the hands out with some other figure to get the white wrist tape.

It's pretty simple, but I think it's rather effective. I would've liked that new Cena torso, but I didn't care enough to go out and buy a whole new figure for this relatively simple project. Maybe someday in the future, but for now...

He's a little bit Sycho! He's a little bit Vicious! And he's about to dish out his own brand of JUSTICE! Ladies and gentlemen...

SID!


Sid is one of just six men to have held the WWF and WCW Championships, pre-WCW buyout.

Great work but what is that box set in the background, the figures in suits?

[nwaflairwwf]

awesome dude! who's head is that?

[Bullgod]

Looks great, you can tell some hard work went into it, personally I think it would look better in Black as apposed to red (not that it makes much of a difference) but its deffinately something I would be proud to stand on my shelf

Sensational job, I was scared when you mentioned Hedenrich, but you pulled it off very well.

As stated in the second paragraph, the majority of the figure was made from Heidenreich, including the head.

That's the TTL-style DX "Wiseguyz" box set that was a Toys "R" Us exclusive back in 2000, based on the cover of some WWF Magazine where DX were all dressed as cuban pimps.

And thank you to everybody for their kind words, thus far! ;D

[fozzy]

Sounds good but can i have some better pics of the box set? please?

[Cammi Oh]

Not a bad custom. The head works well.

[j2dacversion3]

That head works absolutely perfectly, well done.

[Calcifer Boheme]

They weren't Cuban pimps, they were mafioso... you know, wise guys.


But that's neither here nor there

The figure looks really good, that's a great head choice, and I'm glad you gave it some color.

Adding some chest hair might not be a bad idea, but it's far from necessary.

[misterbiceps]

I agree that maybe some chest could add to it, but it's definitely on point as is. Awesome custom.

[The Canadian Killer Deen]

i like this custom its a changefrom the usual black trunks

[wwe4ever]

Nice custom. Perfect part choices which is a bonus since a lot of people have to go with parts they don't want but they have to go with an improper torso because it's all they have. I like the head modding but I would of preferred him in his black trunks over the red ones.

cool

[mickiejames]

That's pretty good. I like your M$M more though. That Sid body w/ the vest would work for Razor as well if you were to paint on the logos.

Spam.

The figure looks good man. If you put some sealer on the arms or even a drop of super glue spread around, it'll bring the skin color right back.

[Warheart]

wow!
great job! looks just like him!

[King Bálor (CM)™]

That modded head is bad ass.

[psychoandy]

Thanks, everybody! ;D
