garbagemon's customs, new- Igor Mark II

[GoldenHulk]

Just found this thread, and these are impressive customs. I like seeing different subjects than the same ones pretty much everyone else has done. That Wild Bull Curry is practically perfect. The likeness is amazing.

I've got to send out a big thanks to joes7164, he's traded me for a lot of good fodder that's gone into my customs. And I am glad you like the work, GoldenHulk. I enjoy trying to bring out some of the more obscure or forgotten faces of wrestling's past. My next figure's taking it even further back. This one's Maurice Tillet, the French Angel!

[garbagemon]

Wow, it has been way too long. I guess I've been doing Jakks fixups instead of full-on customs lately. Well, this one is how Jakks should have done it... "He is none other than-the SHOCKMASTER! WOOO!"

[charabro]

Incredible work as always mate, I’ve got a large amount of jakks fodder in a box, although I’m located in the UK, shoot me a message if you’re interested in a trade or something 👍

[J'Dinkalage Morgoone]

Seeing these almost makes me want to do customs again, I think your part choices are fantastic. You have really nailed the likeness of every single figure you have made!

[garbagemon]

Thank you Jables! I do love me some Jakks fodder, but shipping between the US and UK seems like you have to take out a second mortgage on your house! We're mailing action figures, not actual wrestlers, people! Thank you for the compliments as well Old Man Jones! I do spend a lot of time considering the right parts for the job. Dare I say, the concept stage is sometimes more fun than the actual work part!

For my next work, this goes all the way back to my first custom post here on wfigs. My very first custom was a Jakks Shockmaster I converted into a Tugboat:



Several years and many customs later, I began to rethink my first work. He was not just fat, he was DAYUM! on the Fluffy scale. Thanks Jakks. So, I've reimagined my first WWF custom that started it all:

That looks great! Nice job.

[garbagemon]

Thanks eddiebrock! I'm starting to get back into the swing of customizing a little bit again. This newest work is a 3D printed head that I painted. It revitalized my heel Andre, and has made it one of my favorite Andres.

[Old Zeke]

That Andre looks fantastic!

[garbagemon]

My new year's resolution is to get back into customizing again. As such, I started the year with this new addition, the Revolting Blob from Billy Madison!

[Nick Maniwa]

Tremendous! Don’t come to this board often but love seeing you back in the game.

[charabro]

Tremendous work as always mate

[garbagemon]

Thank you Nick and Charabro!

At the moment, I'm going back and improving upon my previous customs with feedback from people, and some skills that have been developed along the way. This most recent rework includes 3D printed heads I've painted from the Warsmann. I give you Big Daddy attempt #2, and Bobo Brazil attempt #2!

I hope the admins will forgive me for back to back posting in my own thread. I will edit if needed. I finally got my facelift for George where I wanted it. This is a Snitsky head that required quite a bit of reshaping to get to the likeness I wanted.

Today I finished work on a new Mighty Igor. I wanted to try a new head as a base, and made a new kielbasa for him, too.
