Much help will be needed...Wrestling Legends customs...

As a wrestler and fan of all that which WAS pro wrestling in the 70's and 80's, I want ideas on how to make certain figures...here is my first project...

THE MASKED SUPERSTAR!

Im thinking of using a hulk body instead of the skinny one. Superstar was 285lbs back in the early 80's. Have to find a way to make the custom single strap singlet with the pants. Would be awesome!

Awesome idea. I was thinking of trying something similair down the road.

CTVT sells singlets, but not quite like him.

I'd go with a taller Hulk body for sure. Why not make the mask to fit over a mego head?

was thinking that but the masks always come off kinda bulky. I think making a resin head may be the best route to go?

I have made a ton of wrestling customs through the years. Sounds like you are using Jakks parts for this one? If so, i would use the thick upper body for sure. Like the one they used on Brock lesner. I might even have a Brock body as i made a few Mattel customs and only needed the head.

And i agree totally on the masks i have seen always looking bulky and weird. Maybe a blue blazer head custom painted. It's also easy to convert the neck plug.
