WAR GAMES - ALL MATCHES, VOTING OPEN

[Deleted]

NYDream: I really like the head choice for this one. The hair is pretty good, but a little too yellow imo. I think drybrushing in some lighter shades would help a lot. The red on the tights looks good, logos and white lines could use a little work. They just need to be a little sharper.

Biohazard: Really cool custom. It is a unique choice and the attire has a good overall appearance. The pattern on his jacket and mask looks good, but it doesn't look as much like leopard print as it should. The spots kind of all run into each other. The sculpting looks good, I like that it posed and there is a good amount of sculpting. I also like the kneepads and the color of the tights

Vote: Biohazard


CustomKenny: Pretty original custom. One of the better Dragon Dragons I've seen. Good idea to make it posed, there is too much sculpting required to keep mobility. The head looks good, I like how it sits ontop of the costume and look separate and removeable. The yellow parts look nice, it looks good how the yellow is a little offset where the mask meets costume. The tail seems a little bit scrawny.

Angus: It looks good, but it's a little hard to tell with the pictures. They are very small and don't pick up a lot of detail. Mask is well done, the cone and ice cream give it a cool effect. I'd like to see more of a metallic color on the outfit. The lines and circles look to be pretty clean and even.

Vote: Angus


JPD: Overall presentation is great. It sets a scene and it's all kind of packaged together. I love the attention to detail, such as the fabric ripped off his pants, the scars, the arm tape, blood. The barbed wire even looks great. Sculpted belt is a nice touch, too. Only complaint would be the sculpting of the scars. They look kind of like they are just resting on his skin, they just need to be blended into the skin more.

Import: At first, I was disappointed that we were seeing another Macho Man. It's just been done so many times. This one is a new take on it, though. It really helps that it's posed. It helps capture Savage a little bit better. The finger looks great, good choice to do that pose and well excecuted. The sculpting looks really smooth everywhere. I love how the sculpting comes together at the waist, it really looks like tights. I also really like his right underarm(weird thing to have to write) it looks smooth and natural where the arm and lat come together. The head is very good, you are really using that face transplant ability to your advantage. The boots look great really clean stars and text, too.

Texacide: Awesome custom. There is just the right amount of sculpting, painting, and detail. I like that this is yet another posed custom. You did a good job on the pose, everything looks proportional and fits together. The mask is great, he looks so creepy and weird. Shirt design is well done. Love the jeans texture, It all comes together very well.

Bartman: Of all the customs, this one jumped out at me the most right off the bat. It has a cool look to it, good choice on the shirt. The head mods are effective, it shows good resemblance, maybe needs a little red tint to the hair. The sculpted pads and details look good too. The shirt is definitely the best part. Sculpted well and a cool paintjob, it is a nice focal point for the figure.

Vote: Texacide


Gate: I think the head works. The hair, skintone, cheeks and smile give it the right feeling. I love the skin color and paintjob. It all looks super smooth. I would have liked to see you try something different with the mesh in his tights. It just looks a little too solid. That's pretty much my only complaint. Everything else looks great, I like the fabric arm and wrist bands. I especially like where the hair overlaps the heandband in the back. Looks realistic.

Titan: I'm glad you mentioned the torso joint on RGs. I forgot they had them, but the torso looks like a really good adjustment now that I realize what it normally looks like. Very nice head mods, shows likeness. The wrist tape looks good and so do the tights. They are a pretty simple design, but you made them well. The text and axe are looking pretty good

Gore: The head is the standout part for me. Love the hair, beard, headband, and glasses. Really shows a resemblance. The vest is cool, it looks like it's hand made out of some kind of leathery stuff. The skull belt buckle and chain look aresome too. The silver circles on the vest aren't perfect, but they work. Skintone looks great, very smooth. Pants are painted pretty well, too. I love how you put a lot into the details and accessories. They really make this custom.

Oozing: This is one of the best customs of the night. I absolutely love it. The sculpting for the singlet looks really good, I really like how you did the slits and straps connecting it. The hair is cool too. Paintjob is great, the design looks from the face to the toes. I am a fan of the wristbands and hanging things, as well. Really an all around great custom.

?Mystery?: Not the best custom. The sculpting looks fairly rough on the chest, but I do like the sculpted pads and wrist tape. The logo on his chest looks pretty good. The hair looks a little weird to me, I think it's the hairline. I also think the paintjob could be a little smoother, some edges need to be cleaned up. The beard and facepaint look pretty good, and the tattoo and cape are a nice touch.

Rome: Not much to critique here, it looks amazing. Only thing I would say is that there is not much detail to this attire. I would have loved to see you make something with more detail. You really put it all into this, though. Awesome skintone and paintjob, looks very realistic. The tat is a nice touch and the belt looks sweet.

Jay: Most of the pics are pretty dark, but the light one gets most of it across. I like the head. The sculpted mask is great, love the hair and beard. The colors on the shirt are good choices and I really like the velcro parts where the cape attaches. The logo on the shirt is pretty messy, though. It just doesn't look complete and doesn't match up to the rest of the custom. Nice right hand choice and sculpted elbow pads are good.

TCKDeen: This is a really good Helms. There is a lot of sculpting involved and it all looks pretty smooth. It's a pretty simple attire, but the sculpting puts it up another level. The paintjob looks clean, and I like the design on the back of his tights.

Vote: Gold Horsemen

[Importracer]

Thanks for the coment Beyondo.I wanted to do Savage in the pose below. but the stip said recreate a Title Win Moment.thats the only thing bugs me about Bartman’s Mikey Whipwreck it does not match the winning moment from the ref pic.

[[x] TEXACIDE [x]]

Wow thanks a lot Beyondo, that reply was very informative and I'm excited to see you voted for me. Everyone did such a great job this PPV, I shall vote on them later on.

[The Highwayman]

thanks for the feedback beyondo.. i 100% agree with u about the scars. i duno y that was such a struggle for me, i regret not fixing them up, but like a lot of people, i began to run out of time on this one.. thanks everyone and good job to everyone, especially my opponents. ill vote sometime later.

[Jay]

I really want to apologize to everyone especially my teammates. I really feel as if my customs were a letdown. I spread myself WAY thin. I didn't even start painting that hurricane until around 4:00 p.m. April 1st. The horsemen deserved a better challenge from me, beyondo/guster deserved a better challenge and my team deserved a better effort. As much as it may have been great hype, it was probably not a good idea to do that match with gate. I will do a redux series in the next few weeks and take my time, to bring my customs to where they were supposed to be. Thanks again to Becca and everyone who put on a great PPV.

TCKDeen- Such a talented customizer that makes stupid mistakes. NEVER EVER USE PRINTOUT BELTS. Sculpt the mother effer. Or at least have the strap be real and have the plates be the printout...that would even be better than a paper belt. The torso is wrong for Helms. The guy has never been that out of shape...ever. The nipples look like they are too far a part. Other than that it is really good. The tights, elbow pads, and knee pads look very nice and clean...love the wrinkles and the hands. The head is good...but I probably would have went with one where his eyes were open. Overall a good custom but looks like you got lazy in places.

glad u thinkg im talented

iknow i make stupid mistakes i think i made the skintone a little too yellow

the truth is i sculpted a plate for the belt but it came out looking like garbage so i just used a printout i guess i should have used the printout on the strap but oh well

the torso looks like that because my ref pic he kinda looked like that

Granted, but then again, his winning moment had like 5 other guys lifting him up on their shoulders. They said to include the items involved, and I included the ladder and ECW title, so there wasn't really much I could've done.

[CMD]

Nydream989- It's an okay figure, but I really just don't like Tibbs' Mascaras. The jacket needs wrinkles, and as I'm sure others have said in the past, RAs are no good for posed figures

Customkenny- The Dragon Dragon looks cleaner. I like the mask on El Hijo except for the cone, but the paintwork IMO is something to be desired. It's just kinda dull looking.

JPD- Really good looking Sabu. Very original, a "Born To Be Wired" style figure. I really like the blood and tape and the torn pants. The arm on Import's Savage doesn't look right. I have to give some credit to Texacide for using TTL parts for Storm. The shirt lacks wrinkles, and the tears at the bottom of the jean shorts don't blend in with the rest of the shorts. I also really like the shirt on the Whipwreck. I wish I had the patience to paint that. I've tried, it didn't go well.

Beyondo- Amazing looking Godwinns set. My vote goes to them for the awesome looking heads. The DA Cryme Tyme set looks very good, but it kinda loses points with me for the fact is of all people that could have been chosen, a team with existing headscans is chosen. Neither Godwinn has been made, and they have an incredible likeness. The Jarrett/Roadie set seems kinda dull. Jarrett needs a hat. I gotta give credit for The Roadie being made though. I've never seen BG James in that gimmick before.

Gold Horsemen- The Ed Leslies seem more varied than the Helmses in gimmicks and figure types. The Gold Horsemen have RA, DA, Ring Giant, and Hasbro. The nWo has 3 Ras and a ToyBiz. The torso on the rightmost Helms looks too big, and the hair looks awkward. The ToyBiz Helms is just a repainted 2-pack AJ Styles with a DA Helms head. Also, The Disciple figure is godly.

-CMD

[Importracer]

Hey jpd i was looking over your sabu and the sculpting under the arms and chest and neck and boots is very ruff.This bugs me because you done so good on the pants to not smooth the rest out more.

[skribbel24]

Nydream989 vs. Biohazard
Biohazard nails this one for me. Good attire choice. Not too fond of the head, but the suit looks like a b*tch to paint.
My choice: Biohazard

Cruiserweight #1 Contender - Stipulation: Chikara Alum
Custom Kenny's Dragon Dragon vs. Angus' El Hijo del Ice Cream
Honestly, I have never heard of these guys before. I did check on some reference pics and I must say El Hijo del Ice Cream looks sweet! Good painting and modding.
My choice: Angus' El Hijo del Ice Cream

Intercontinental #1 Contender - Stipulation: Title Win Moment (with reference pic)
JPD’s Sabu vs. Import Racer’s Randy Savage vs. Texacide’s Shane Storm vs. Bartman’s Mikey Whipwreck
Tough call. Sabu is creative (torn pants, etc). Savage looks very neat, though something's a bit wrong with the right arm. I lol'd at Shane Storm, that's amazing. Whipwreck looks amazingly detailed. Hard, but I have to choose just one.
My choice: Texacide’s Shane Storm

Heavyweight Challence - Stipulation: Two Man Tag Team
Me Gusta Guster’s Jeff Jarrett and Roadie vs. Jay’s Cryme Tyme vs. Beyondo’s Godwins
No doubt, Beyondo's Godwinns take the cake. Clean work overall and nice head choices too. The modding looks fantastic! Cryme Tyme is a good DA version, by the way.
My choice: Beyondo’s Godwinns

War Games: NWO vs. Gold Horsemen – Stipulation: Four Versions of One Wrestler
Oozing Machismo’s Zodiac and Romealmighty’s Gregory Helms are the standouts of this match, with special mentions of Jay (Scott Hall)’s Hurricane and Goreniator’s Disciple. Close call for this match.
My choice: Gatecitysinner’s Bootyman –Titantrap’s Butcher – Goreniator’s Disciple – Oozing Machismo’s Zodiac

[MiKe EZ]

Nydream989: The custom is ok. Overall its a pretty simple custom and the paint job needs a bit work. The painting needs to be smoothed out a bit. The maple leaves are not even with one another.

Biohazard: Decent custom. I am not real fond of the paint job. From the reference picture supplied, the paint job that you did does not match that of the picture.

Winner: Biohazard

Custom Kenny: Very interesting custom you did there. What I like about the custom is that it is actually taller than a standard figure. Decent job sculpting the figure. The painting does not quite look even. It looks as though the yellow part of the attire is uneven and not quite centered.

Dr. Angus: Another very interesting custom here. I liked the overall appearance of the custom. Nice sculpting job aside from the cone. The paint job seems a bit dull seeing as the reference picture you supplied has his outfit looking more shiny.

Winner: Dr. Angus

JPD: I really like the overall idea of this custom. The painting looks pretty smooth. However there are a couple of things that I dislike about it. First off the pants do not look right. The pants do not have the right amount of waviness to them. And what really bothered me the most about this custom was the scars. The scars were not properly attached to the custom and looked as though they were put on last minute.

Import: Not the first Macho Man that I have seen you done, but it is the first Macho Man that I have seen you do posed. This custom looks just about perfect. You did a great job smoothing out the sculpting work you did. The painting is very smooth and just about spotless.

Texacide: This is an interesting custom that I have never seen done before. Overall the painting looks smooth. The lettering on the shirt could have been done a bit better. I do applaud you for not using print outs to make the lettering perfect. That has always been a pet peeve of mine. The head is over-sized and there are some other issues with sculpting the head.

Bartman: I have only seen a couple of Mikey's done before, including one I did a couple of years ago, and this one is pretty good. I like the paint job you did on the shirt. The sculpting work you did looks pretty good as well. Only issue with this custom may be to make Mikey's face a bit fatter. Other than that, a very nice custom.

Winner: Import

Me Gusta Guster: I am digging these JJ and Roadies customs. I love the paint job on JJ. The work head choice and hair work really well for JJ. The Roadie custom I believe is the first one that I have ever seen before. You get major points for that alone. The Roadie looks really well done with no obvious flaws that I can see.

Jay: You did some decent work with the sculpting work that you did. The bling bling that you sculpted doesn't quite looks right and should be smaller. Decent customs.

Beyondo: Very nice sculpting job on the Godwins. I like the head choices for both. The painting looks smooth and very evenly done. I do not have any problems with these customs.

Winner: Me Gusta Guster

Gold Horsemen: All of these customs are extremely well done. I will start with the Bootyman. The Bootyman is a nicely done figure with the exception of the head. The head choice is the only thing bothering me about this figure. Titantrap, I don't believe I have ever seen a Butcher custom done before. I will say that this is a very cool looking custom and the sculpting work along with the painting is extremely smooth and well done. Gore, you never seize to amaze me. This is an extremely well done custom. The sculpting looks just about perfect and the painting is nearly spotless. I love the head, its looks so spot on. Oozing Machismo, that is one scary looking custom (I mean that in a good way haha). But I cannot see anything wrong with this custom. The sculpting work looks so smooth and the painting pattern of the zebra stripes is so nice.

NWO: Mystery member, a nice looking custom. The sculpting work needs a little bit work and should be smoothed out a bit more. The painting looks good. Romealmighty, there is something about this custom that I really like. It has this aura about it. Its a very smooth looking figure and I cannot see any flaws with this custom, nice work. Jay, nothing really over impressive about this custom. Looks like a simple fix-up with a new paint job. I think I read somewhere about you saying that you rushed your paint job and it really shows. The painting looks rushed and is not smooth at all. TCKDeen, I like this custom overall. The sculpting that was done to the stomach could have been a bit better. The stomach is too flat while the chest is not even with the stomach. Other than that, its a nice looking custom.

Winner: Gold Horsemen

[hbk]

Nydream99 vs. Biohazard
Ok great customs people however I see a few flaws in both figures the Eric Young was not a bad idea the head choice was definitely a change and was a nice touch. However looking at closer pics I see a lot of glossiness and very not smooth and the hair definitely needed another coat since I still see some white.

Now Biohazard's custom great idea again i love the fact that you went all out and did a full sculpt something that was definitely not easy to do. Now onto the the flaws. I noticed that your reference pics I see a gold trim on the mask and that was not added to your custom. I also noticed that the figure was supposed to be a leopard print and yours to me does not look too much like leopard print. I also would like liked to see the sleeves a little more eccentric since I had to look a little harder to notice the puffy sleeves.

Final vote: As much as I liked the ideas, I see flaws in both where I have to make a decision on who had put more effort as well as who had more of a better figure altogether. But in the end I picked Biohazard. Because I saw a more solid figure come out of this I see a lot of painting and a lot of work and effort put into this figure.

Round 2:Custom Kenny vs. Angus
Again 2 people who have come a long way into customizing. I would have liked to see more from these 2. I really wanted to see how far these 2 could take their skills. I wanted to see them push themselves to new levels and I wish I had seen that.

Custom Kenny: I think your figure was not a bad idea but I wish I had a reference pic to go with your figure so that I could compare the 2. I think the sculpting was amazing I liked the fact that you sculpted the lining separating the head piece from the body of the figure. However I would have liked to see a longer tail and a less stubby one. the painting looked smooth but again I had no reference pic.

Angus: Again I see you are coming along as a customizer however you still have work. For example this figure was not completely greatness. I looked at the reference pic and compared it to your figure and I noticed a few flaws as well. I see that the figure was not a metal cloth but more gray, also i see that the hands were painted white but left a lot of uneven painting i still see skin tone. I do not see El Hijo having gloves. So I am confused as to where you were going with that painting its inconsistent. And the cone on the chin seemed very crooked I would have liked to see it done a little more straight and actually have the waffle lines on the cone.

Final Vote: Custom Kenny This figure without the reference pic still looked like the painting was more smooth it was simple but the sculpting was what saved this figure. Only because I can see the flaws stand out more on Angus' custom.

JPD’s Sabu vs. Import Racer’s Randy Savage vs. Texacide’s Shane Storm vs. Bartman’s Mikey Whipwreck

JPD's Sabu:Very cool idea I liked the barbed wire look the figure has captured that moment in ECW history and stands out in my mind like yesterday! However sculpting is hard it is not an easy task but that is what makes a custom that much better, but I think you could have done a lot better because I noticed that the scars on the body look more like stab wounds fresh stab wounds so they look very deeply in beaded so they do not look like old scars if they were new they should have has some blood coming from the scar. Also I am not sure that the scars were done well either since they seem more like something that was placed on the chest rather than old scars on a body.

Importracer : Great figure I think that it also captures the moment when Macho Man won the belt! Again sculpting was a huge thing here I love it sculpted the paint is amazing and the head choice was awesome I never noticed how much DDP looks like Macho Man. Now I noticed your reference pic you used the one where Miss Elizabeth is on his shoulders I really would have liked to see that as well. That addition would have definitely put your custom over.But again A very solid custom it looks very much like an LJN figure.

Texacide: I have seen this figure before. I liked the fact that you sculpted the figure and the painting is nice and smooth however the figure is not perfect I see that the custom figure is missing ears on the mask. Also the figures hair seems very mullet like and the actual mask is more like morning hair.

Bartman: This figure is amazingly done! I think the Stan head looks so much like Mickey however I see no purple on the tie dye shirt. I love the sculpting the shirt looks amazing and I think the design was great I love the effort into this figure and I think you have come so far!

Final Decision: I am torn between 2 figures in this final decision. I love how Bartman and Importracer both brought their A game!!! I love the sculpting of both but I think I am going to go with Importracer because the sculpting and painting all came together really well. I seriously think it looked very LJN worthy.


Me Gusta Guster’s Jeff Jarrett and Roadie vs. Jay’s Cryme Tyme vs. Beyondo’s Godwins

Me Gusta Guster: Awesome idea I love that roadie I think the figures were amazing I noticed the face sculpting it looks like a very good effort but I think it still looks off. I think the rest of the figure was done so nicely. I love the painting and the detail I am a huge fan of detail!

Jay: Awesome figures I think cryme tyme was made very well here. I also thought that the figure should have had real chains instead of sculpted ones but still well worth trying. I would have loved to see the back and the actual side pics so that I could see the hands and the back of the figure to see how well this figure was constructed.

Beyondo: All I have to say is great customs I think this is a good figure painting is awesome! The sculpting again is well done the only thing I can say that this figure lacks is the back pocket I noticed that you sculpted almost everything except the back pockets. I see parts of it from the figure and then near the back end pockets they seem to disappear.

Final Decision: Beyondo I think even though you were missing just that one minor flaw I can not judge that against you since the figures seem so solid in all other areas the painting looks amazing and so was the sculpting.

Gold Member vs.NWO
Ok I see great custom figures here both had their work cut out for them I see awesome figures!

Gatecitysinner’s Bootyman:the sculpting is nicely done love the skin tone and the figure itself was hard to do finding the right head and all to match. However what I didn't like about this figure was the fact that the paints on the pants looked a little off. Maybe its because it seemed like the pink needed one more coat. I could be wrong but then again its what I see in the pics.

Titantrap’s Butcher: First time I have seen this figure done. The figure was very simple but the sculpting was very nicely done.
I am not so sure about the head choice but over all the figure was done nicely.

Goreniator’s Disciple: I think this figure was very nicely done. I think the head sculpt was awesome I don't think that it could have been done any better I think the sculpting all around was nicely done. the vest and chaps were definitely a nice added touch to this figure. The thing about this figure I noticed is that the figure really is the painting on the back of the vest looked a tad off. Plus I see that the paint was chipping on the right arm near the shoulder area.

Oozing Machismo’s Zodiac: This was a very well painted figure its smooth and I think it captures the Zodiac pretty well. The figure sculpting was done very nicely.

Mystery NWO Member’s Hurricane:I don't know who this is but I can honestly say that this custom is not bad. I like how they captured the early stages of the Hurricane. However I feel that this figure still has a lot of cleaning up to do. I noticed that the figure is very pasty in paints. I can see chipping in the left arm its where the joint is. I also noticed the figures letter H is a tad sloppy. It should be more block like and I see no straight edges on the lettering. The cape was a very nice touch though.

Romealmighty’s Gregory Helms: I don't think that I can say anything bad about this figure I think it was very nicely done I see a lot of detail and time went into this figure. I can only imagine the effort put into this figure. I think since your talents I would have hoped to see a more sculpted the figure not a lot just a tad more, maybe even hide the line that separates the neck from the chest.

Jay (Scott Hall)’s Hurricane: I see that you decided to add another figure into this competition but again I see that there were a few things you could have done better to this figure I like the mask sculpting it reminds me of my older figures when I did the mask I also liked the rest of the sculpting it was done very nicely. The H seems off centered inside the circle it seems lower than it is supposed to be. The painting seems smooth in some areas and not in others. Like the hands, I noticed that the figure seems to have some flesh where it should be tape and some tape that should be flesh tone and you seem to be missing the design on the tights. I am only judging on one picture since the others were really too dark to see what was done to this figure.

TCKDeen’s Shane Helms: I can only say that this figure was not how I expected it to be. I saw Shane Helms much skinnier and younger during this era. The body seemed too heavy for the arms. i liked that you sculpted the body but I think you should have used less here since the figure now looks like he was a heavyweight wrestler.

Final Decision: I think that both teams did well but in the end RomeAlmighty's figure was just amazing and really stood out for his team. However since this was a team effort Gold Horsemen really did well since they all had clean customs and very much well put all together I saw pretty much every era of Brutus' career. I also thought that each figure done in each style of a figure was a very nice touch.

All did well in this tourney!!! Goodluck to you all and I hope you don't take what I said as an insult but more as a guideline to better works in the future!!! And remember detail is the key to great customs!

I understand but I think I would have been able to differentiate which one was the custom and which one was just added for the looks however I understand. I still think it was an awesome figure.

[Razor]

nydream vs. Biohazard

Dream
I'm loving the Eric Young on every aspect except for the head, it looks like a possibly modded Sandman head, but the face just doesn't do it for me. I dig the smile and everything but there's just something about the head that doesn't fit. The attire is incredibly accurate and is done very well.

Biohazard
I'm not familar with this wrestler but from your ref pics the figure looks dead on. I'm really liking the part choice and the modding of the head and chest/stomach area. The painting is top notch and I really don't have anything bad to say about it.

My vote goes to Biohazard for the incredible detail.


Cruiserweight Kenny vs. Angus

Kenny
The height and all around costume feel to the figure is amazing. I love how you gave the head a helmet/mask type feel to it with the layer around the neck region on the front and back. The painting is smooth and the modding of the head/mask is incredible. I really love the addition of the tail and that you didn't leave that part out.

Angus
You've greatly improves from your "starter" days and I'm liking your custom here, the only problem is the red color looks a bit maroon and the hands should have been left the normal skintone color. The part choice is exceptional and I love the modding to the cone on the chin. The head/face, though a little long, looks great and the detail of the face does your figure some awesome justice.

I gotta give my vote to Kenny for the all around great detail and feel to the figure.


Intercontinental #1 Contender

JPD
I think this is one of the all around best posed figures for your stip. The addition of the blood along with the belt adds great detail to your custom. I really like how you propped up the pants to look like the barbedwire was attached to them but you didn't add the ripped pants leg on the right side that could have really set your custom above all the rest as well as the sculpting of the scars could have been a little better.

Import
Another great "Ebay" custom that is beyond your normal type customs. The attention to detail on Savage is beyond anything you've done before and I'm really liking it. The pose really captures the moment and the DDP head really shows off the semi-smile that Savage shows as well. The modding of the pose as well as the part choice is superb and the perfection of the stars really adds well.

Texacide
Though the head is a little big and the hair is clustered together, I really have nothing but good things to say about this custom. The pose on Shane is phenomenal and really couldn't be any better. The addition of the hole in the jeans really adds well to the all around look of the figure. The lettering and pose are amazing and the having him hold the trophy looks just like the reference pic. Nice job of the trophy as well.

Bartman
The modding of the shirt and the paiting of the design are awesome except the neck almost looks like a turtleneck. The knees and all around paint job are excellent and I like the hair mods. I would have loved to see him with the bandana on but you captured him in the heat of victory perfectly.

This was a very hard decision but I have to give my vote to Texacide for the great sculpting and awesome posed look.


Heavyweight Challenge

Me Gusta Guster
Jeff Jarrett is one of my favorite wrestlers so you already got a 1+ for this entry. I really like your attention to detail of the boots and the pass on Roadie. The head on Jarrett works to an extent and the hair really helps to pull off the overall look. The painting of the singlet is great and the stripes are in perfect lines. The face thought somewhat takes away from the figure but there aren't many others to choose from so you did best with what you had.

Jay
The Cryme Tyme is great but they are original heads which really takes away from the customs. I like use of the DA bodies with the exceptional modding of the vest, chains, belt buckle, and leg. Shad seems pretty simple but a lot of work went into JTG so that helps the overall look of the team.

Beyondo
The Godwins are captured at near perfection. The hats and overalls are what I reall love the most on both of them. The head choices are great and the modding is perfect, there's nothing else I can say about them.

My vote goes to Beyondo for the perfection of RA figures based off of BCA figures.


War Games: NWO vs. Gold Horsemen

Gold Horsemen
Gate - I like the overall part choice and modding of the chest/stomach but the head kinda throws it off, it does take a resemblence but could be a little better, the painting is great but the thigh area could use another coat.
Titan - Love the use of a Ring Giant which is rarely seen around these parts. The head is alright and the stomach could have been modded a little better but still works(I know how it's extremely hard to mod a Ring Giant). The tights look great and the wrist tape is excellent as well.
Gore - Probably your best custom to date, the head modding is the best part of the figure and the tights and vest add to it as well. The addition of the belt helps the overall look as he always held it for Hogan(or whoever else was champ).
Oozing - Another fine custom to go along with the group. The face and black lines are really the stand out parts of this figure, I think everything looks perfect and have nothing else to say about a perfect custom.

NWO
Mystery member - The Hurricane Helms looks good though a little chunky in the paint on the chest and neck/arms area. The addition of the tattoo and cape really help to the all arould look of the figure. Pretty solid custom.
Rome - This is the ultimate Helms no matter how you look at it. The Toybiz body is awesome as well as the skintone and the mods, I really have nothing else to say but its perfect.
Jay - I love the shirt and thumbs up but the face looks somewhat cartoony, it could just be the eyes. Everything else is great but I'd like to see some lighter pictures so we could see a bit more of the detail in the arms and legs.
TCKDeen - The mods on the knees and elbows are good but the chest just takes away from the figure. I see what you were going for in the reference pic but that chest just doesn't seem to do it. The hair isn't bad though it should have a bigger poof/curl to it on top.

The final vote goes to the Gold Horsemen for a better all around job of the same wrestler.

NYDream: You really are improving with each custom, it's great. I really think this custom is a step in the right direction for you. At this stage, it's best to focus on honing your painting and sculpting in simpler customs, rather than full skintones with heavy sculpting. And it paid off. I really like the head choice, so nice job on that. The lines are pretty straight, but could be a bit straighter. I know it's tough to do thin lines, especially with red and white paint, but just keep touching up the details, little by little, it's painstaking, but it's worth it. The hairline is pretty good, and the hair sculpt is decent, it looks a little off-center, and if it's supposed to be messy (like the hair is messy), it needs to be a bit more obvious. The eyebrows and goatee are a bit sloppy and look thrown on for me. The left eyebrow particularly is just like a blob. Take the time to refine the details like this and it'll result in cleaner customs.

Biohazard: I like the sculpting on this, and the painting looks quite smooth. The sculpting on the knee pads looks a tad too thick, but I love the ruffles on the ends of the arms. As HBK said, sculpting the poofier sleeves would've been great. I have two major gripes. First, from the reference pics, it looks like you did the top part of the attire from one pic and the bottom part from another. Second, I would've liked to see you try to pull off the leopard print. It would be time consuming and it would suck (I've done it, it does), but it would've put the custom at a whole other level. I do think that you came up with a creative way around it, I just would've loved to see more detail.

Vote: Biohazard


I gotta go to work, I'm sorry, I'll have the rest of my votes later.

Congrats Bio...Nydream you put on a very good showing.You and Bio have improved a great deal over the last few contests.

Thanks for the great match nydream. Thanks to all the judges for taking time to critique our ppv. Becca, any tips for the leopard print? I really tried to get it but failed obviously. And the reason I fused the two outfits was because I thought it was going off memory when I started the pants and when I looked back at the pics I thought it looked cool with black and yellow. Lol
