My tinkered version of a 'muscular body'

[Cadmus Customs]

Well over the last week I've been messing around trying to make my own muscle body. I know it's been done before, but I'm pretty happy with how it looks and thought I'd share it!

My love of wrestling figures finally paid off! He's made with a Remco AWA wrestler torso and Jakks WWE arms (guess who?)

Can't say I want to do all my customs this way, but there are a few I'll use this method for. I have a few dozen AWA torsos and sets of arms to play with, so who knows. I used Magic Sculpt & Super Glue to attach a CTVT ball to a Doc Mego hip piece (the CTVT ball turns better in the socket!) so it's pretty sturdy.

Just wanted to share!

very cool,I thought the top was a He-man body so the AWA makes sense since they are practically the same. :grin:
