As Becca mentions about judges, i'm not sure wether i can vote or the like, but i'll give my thoughts and opinions anyway.

Wow, first of all, lots of fantastic work here.

First match:

TCKDeen has done some quality work here. I'm afraid i have no idea who the fella is, but with a ref pic, it's clear to see what he is trying to do. Nice head choice, it's prob the best you could have used. Oly problem with the head is the thickness of the face, maybe sanding the cheeks and side of the head down a tad might have helped, bastard of the job though. Attire is very neatly painted. very straight lines and colours have been matched very well. Great job my friend.
And on a side note, i wouldn't mind finding out who the guy is, just for curiosity's sake.

GateCitySinner GOOD GOD ALMIGHTY!! WOW!! Those have to be decals for a start?? surely?? The painting on this figure is beyond belief. I assume it's Colt Cabanna from the head and a mojority of the symbols on his gear, although i've never seen him in this gear myself. The lines on this paintwork or flawless. This is quite possibly the finest painted figure i've ever seen. It looks as though it has come straight from the Jakks assembly line. WOW! The Dupree head obviously works for cabanna and i'm sure he'd be proud to have posession of this, himself. Only problem i can see with this figure is the choice of torso. I just don't like the painted of singlets and painting over abs etc. A Mr. Perfect style torso or WGTT etc would have perfected this figure. But still outstanding work.

WINNER: For me it has to be GateCitySinner, on paintwork alone. I've just never seen a paintjob like it.

Next match:

GateCitySinner after the last figure, i'd expect sometihng similar, but to be honest, i'm a little disapointed. The main downsides to this figure for me are the painted hair over his face, it is really obvious next to the moulded hair and the tatoos. The tatoos all appear very lumpy and blotchy and it really puts me off the figure. Interesting head choice, not fantastic and i don't understand why you didn't use the Raven and mod it to this era, but the head kinda works. I love the shirt, that's done very well Similarly so are the jean shorts, fantastic job on the tattered ends. Also love the molded sock tops. Very cool. I also really admire the level of detail you've attempted to go into, every tatoo right down to the finger, even if they're not fantastically done.

Great Gonzo has done a fantastic job here. Only downside to this figure really is the face is a tad fat. But it is a great choice and the modded hair and paint work is superb. I'm not a fan of static figures, but i do love this pose you've got him in. Lightning Bolt and Flash on the singlet is very well done, flash on the boots isn't too good, but i know how hard lettering is and can't hold this against u at all. Loving the detail in the sculpting aswell, the ridges/folds in the singlet are great, in addition to the knee pads.

WINNER: For me the winner in this 1 is the Great Gonzo.

Final Match:

The Missing Link isn't bad. The general idea is there, don't like some of the part choices. The Ripped torso is way off. The Heavyweight (Lesnar, Lashley, HHH) torso would have been a much better choice. Similarly, not so sure about the head, it works, but think it could have been better. There's been some fantastic Links before on the boards. Painting on the head is good though and I like the hair sculpt. Don't like the painting on the trunks at all. If you were going to extend the trunks up, it really needed a mod on the torso, this just looks like his lower abs and belly button have been painted black.

Low Ki looks great! I've always loved the DA Cena scan for Ki and think this whole figure works very well. It's a very simple, but very effective custom. Love the modding on the boots too, it looks very much like the kick pad style that Low Ki uses. The back of the head, where it meets the neck could do with a bit of sanding, but apart from that, really can't see much wrong with this figure at all.

Farooq looks great as well. The painting is VERY well done, the lines aren't perfect, but they're good. Again it's the issue of painting over a torso that puts me off a little bit, would have much prefered to see a vest/singlet top use or modded on. Part choices are all very good and love the addition of the painted hat too. All in all another very good figure. This is clearly going to be a hard fought match.

Uncle Elmer again, im forced to say GOOD GOD!! WOW!! This is a phenominal figure to look at. Every thing about this figure screams greatness to me. It's so heavily modded between the shirt, the Britches, right down to the boots and socks. The painting is also done VERY well. Only 1 thing that even vaguely appears slightly off to me is the beard. That may just be my eyes, but it doesn't appear to sit perfectly right on the cheeks, but i couldnt care less about something as little as that when i look at this figure. I want this, it's amazing. The Addition of the, i assume, custom made hat (as i dont recognise that style of hat personally) and Fried Pig Parts Bucket is just gold aswell.

WINNER: Buy a county mile i have to say Uncle Elmer. It's a close for second between Ki and Farooq and they would have been fighting for first, but this level of modding to this level of success, just has to be given the W.

Hope everything's ok with all that. sory if i borred anyone. lol

[Gore]

I can assure you no decals were used on Gate's Cabana, haha. I spent a considerable amount of time helping him find ref pics and whatnot, and I've seen this figure from it's kindergarten stages. The figures look great overall. Gonzo's Norton is probably the best figure I've seen from him, but I still hate the use of the RA arms. They're just VERY unrealistic, and when the rest of the figure is very proportionate, I just think it really takes away from the figure. Another thing I would've done is sculpt over the neck and ankles, because the joints being left visible is very distracting. I wish I would've taken part in the mystery match, but I didn't enter because I wasn't sure I'd have time to finish a figure. Maybe next time.

[NYdream™]

also i must add that ate did use a real raven scan.... i thinks a TNA one tho....

oh my bad i forgot to tell becca his name


hes a canadian indy wrestler named don paysan

[Sandy]

I disagree with Gore. The arms work. Compare them to the reference picture..they are virtually the same perhaps with a tad more definition. But the figure is awesome. The ankles and neck still being able to move don't distract me a bit. Very nice, it is indeed the best you have ever done imo.


The NOD Farooq is really good. I wish I could see better pictures of it though, hard to tell what is going on. But nice nonetheless, and original.

Gate did a good job on pulling double duty. His first entry is good. The Raven is very old school customizer style and I like that..I hate the tattoos though.

[Nelly - The Belt Guy]

I don't have time to do a full review. But if I'm still a valid judge, than here's my votes.

Rd1 - Like the painting more better on GCS. both did a really nice job, but GCS stands out more.

Winner: GCS

Rd2 - I do like Gonzo's attempts with the molding. But I don't think Flash was that skinny back then. You should of gave him some more meat. I dig the raven. Really nice and looks like a pain to paint.

Winner: Tough, but GCS gets my vote

Mystery Match:
All I can say is WOW. Great showing. I dig all the figs made, but Uncle Elmer came out and stood out.

Winner: Uncle Elmer

[dam]

i love that farooq

[b13stinga]

Uncle Elmer P0WNS!!!!!!

[walkhard]

The first match goes to GCS, mainly because the head choice for the other guy is too off for my taste. Another quality figure for GCS.

2nd Match is tough, GCS would have easily won this match as well if he had the TTL Raven head instead of the TNA one. Gonzo your figure is wonderfull but it looks like you could use a few more coats of paint especially around the right shoulder and the boots. I'm going to call this match a time-limit draw.

3rd Match hands down went to the Uncle Elmer, a total squash match (kinda like Triple H beating up the Highlaners or something). Because i'm in the match (NOD Faarooq) I won't comment on any flaws on any of the figures.

What other pictures do you want of the figure, let me know and i'll take some for you.

I'm just going to do quick voting right now but I did want to say this was a really good show and I liked everything posted tonight. Good work to everyone involved.
