I have done custom wrestling figures since the ljn figures in the mid 80's. I think i have done a custom in just about every type that has ever been released. My current focus is the WWE mattel elite style figures. Most of what i have done has been in the legends line as they don't give us nearly enough. Some might not ever get done. At least mattel knows what scale is, as the company before them did some great stuff but had no clue. For example a ret mysterio figure would be as tall as a HHH of a paul bearer was the same size or taller than the Undertaker. So at least Mattel does take the scale of a figure very seriously.
One figure that might never be done is Hulk Hogan. And you simply can't have a WWf/WWE legends line without the most influential wrestler of all time. Love him or hate him, you have to have him. I have done a few hogans now experimenting with various parts. Also Mattel has gone on record as saying it takes almost a full year from go ahead to being on the store shelf for a figure. So with the future of Brock Lesnar being uncertain after a year, he may never be made again. One problem with my customs is i have to get the scale perfect. With Hogan i have seen time after time someone just take a texas tornado figure and put a hogan head on it cause his trunks were yellow. Almost everything about this figure is off, right down to the yellow wrist tape that was always white. Same with Brock, they use one of the muscular upper bodies with these skinny legs and it looks off. On both my customs i use parts from 4 different figures to get them right. That makes them a tad expensive to make. Both of my hogan and Brock figures were over $80 bucks in parts alone. So here are pics of both Hogan and Brock Lesnar and a few others. Every figure you see that isn't an official release was customed by me, like the white cody rhodes. Please be kind with your comments as with any new line you get better the more you work with the parts. Some of my early work like the powers of pain are a little rough.
this one is to show the scale of brock next to an average guy and a big guy.
I'm not done with the natural disasters just yet. I need to do a few things.
These are all mine except for savage, bossman and Akeem, I wanted to show the scale of what i had done.
Same deal as far as scale on these customs.
