Skribbel24 continues to pay homage to the classic wrestling stars of the 80’s that I new and loved.  Take his latest Custom WWF Classic Superstar Ricky the Dragon Steamboat figure.  Skribbel24 has the unique ability to capture the wrestlers as they appeared so long ago.  I only know Ricky Steamboat from his WWF days and he was a powerhouse and a force to be reckoned with.  If you don’t know the back history behind this legend, here is it from wwe.com:

After ending a long and bitter rivalry with George “The Animal” Steele, Randy Savage focused his attention on Ricky Steamboat. After some back and forth action, Savage got frustrated and lost control. He took the timekeeper’s bell, climbed the ropes and came crashing down on Steamboat’s throat, crushing his larynx. Horrified fans looked on as Steamboat was taken out on a stretcher. Steamboat miraculously returned a few weeks later, taking on Savage at WrestleMania III. With revenge on his mind, Steamboat defeated Savage for the Intercontinental Championship in what some consider one of the best match in WWE history.

Growing up in the 1980’s, I had the opportunity to witness firsthand the introduction of Ravishing Rick Rude to the WWF and Skribbel24 has payed a very nice homage to this fallen warrior of the WWF.  His Custom Ravashing Rick Rude figure brings back so many great memories of watching the WWF on Saturdays and waiting, in anticipation, for the weekly matches where Rick Rude was pitted against the unsuspecting generic wrestlers and also the famous feuds he was involved.  Most notably, the feud with Jake the Snake Roberts took center stage but he was able to get under the skin of one of my favorite wrestlers of all time, The Ultimate Warrior.  Wrestlemania V and Summer Slam 1989 were classic match ups where the Intercontinental Title was lost by the Ultimate then regained in the Summer Slam. 

Some notable aspects of this figure include Rick Rude’s  famous flaming tights, where he had embroidered his face in the most private of areas.  The head sculpt does an excellent job portraying Rude’s likeness with short hair.  If you are looking to add this awesome figure to your WWF collection, look no further and head over to eBay and bid on Skribbel24’s Custom Ravashing Rick Rude figure.

Lambo205customs has an awesome Custom Ruthless Aggression Rey Mysterio unmasked for all of you wrestling fans out there.  There are a couple aspects about this custom that I would like to point out.  First, the clothing was very well done and it looks very natural on the figure.  The head sculpt has a great gaze to it and the figure overall captures the essence of Rey Mysterio.  I really like the idea of removable braces as this adds to the display-ability and poseabilty of the figure.  It is great when customizers do this because it allows fans to change up their displays and give some versatility to the collection.  All in all, another great figure from lambo205customs so go check out more pictures of this Custom Ruthless Aggression Rey Mysterio on eBay today!   

As a kid growing up in the 80’s, Demolition was by far my favorite tag team wrestlers in the WWF (now WWE) and knlimper has paid a very nice homage to all 3 members with his Custom Axe, Smash, and Crush Demolition figures.  He has really captured the essence of this menacing bunch with their signature face paint and studded wrestling outfits.  I had the great opportunity to find out from knlimper himself the figures he used to create these customs and he said, “Ax and Smash consist of DA13 Cody Rhodes bodies with DA4 Kennedy Boots (with CS Demolition heads) and Crush is essentially a DA Randy Orton body with DA Chris Masters legs and a John Cena head.”  It is always great to know what goes on in the minds of customizers and how they decide which figures to use as the base.  As for my WWF watching days, I remember waiting for Saturday Night’s Main Event to come on NBC so that the more known wrestlers could tear into some unknown tag team duo.  You have to love the old school days of the WWF where theywould match up a pair of nobody’s so that the more known wrestlers could get in thier weekly beatings.  To check out more photos of knlimper’s Custom Axe, Smash, and Crush Demolition figures, head over to eBay!

Brock Lesnar has had a very interesting career and lambo205customs has captured this evolution in this unique Custom Brock Lesnar Set of 3 figures depicting his WWE, Mixed Martial Arts, and Ultimate Fighting Championship looks.  All of these figures are custom detailed and scuplted.  My favorite parts of these figures are the tattoos and realistic looks to the figures.  It appears that lambo205customs takes great pride in his work and it shows.  I love the fact that each figure has a distinct look and they are not cookie cutters of each other in different outfits.  If I had to pick a figure, my favorite out of the bunch is the UFC Brock.  To check out the detailing of the these figures and to place a bid on lambo205custom’s unique Custom Brock Lesnar Set of 3 figures, head over to eBay!

This week, skribbel24 brings one of the most recognized and talented WWE wrestlers to life with his Custom WWE Macho Man Randy Savage figure.  With his signature bandana and sunglasses, this figure really captures the essence of the Macho Man.  One of my favorite aspects of skribbel24’s customs is the versitilty he gives you with displaying the figure.  He could have painted a shirt on this figure but he chose to create it with soft goods, which gives you the ability to remove the clothing and change up the way the figure looks in your collection.  Another aspect I like about this custom is the attention to detail.  If you look closely, you can see the words ‘Madness’ which definately characterizes Randy Savage’s personality through the years of his wrestling career. 

Be sure to take a look at skribbel24’s Custom WWE Macho Man Randy Savage figure to view more pictures or to place a bid on this great custom.  Also, you can check out all of the other Custom WWE figures on eBay!

skribbel24 possesses the unique ability to capture the likeness of people. As a customizer, that is a very important trait. He has demonstrated this over and over again and this week he brings us his Custom WWE The Rock figure. Capturing human expression and emotion in a piece of plastic is very difficult to do (so difficult the major toy companies often have issues recreating the likeness of people accurately). For example, skribbel24 has captured the quirky facial expression of The Rock and has crafted the face so well that it is almost a dead on representation of him. The tattoos also add that extra touch and very well executed. This is a 2 in 1 figure, meaning that you can change the look from wrestler in the ring to the more casual ‘Just Bring It’ outfit. This is a great feature in this custom as you can change the look depending on your mood and it adds some versatility to your custom display. Overall, this is one of the best versions of The Rock I have seen to date.

Helping me ring in AFC’s 200th blog, skribbel24 has created a blast from the past with his Custom Mr. America Hulk Hogan figure. I had several opportunities to see the Hulkster in action as my Dad would take me to see the WWF when they came to San Francisco and Oakland, California. I was lucky enough to go to Wrestlemania 7 where Hulk Hogan defeated a GI Joe icon Sgt. Slaughter via his patented leg drop to win the WWF Championship. skribbel24’s custom Hulk Hogan bears an uncanny resemblence to the living and breathing wrestling icon and that is why people are in awe of his customs. topping it off with a custom box, he delivers the total package (not to be confused with Lex Luger…ok…not funny). Let’s learn more about skribbel24’s latest custom:

Hulk Hogan had a run as the mask-wearing spoof superhero Mr. America in 2003. The persona was supposed to be Hulk Hogan in disguise, wearing a mask. He used Hulk Hogan’s “Real American” theme music and used all of Hogan’s signature gestures, moves, and phrases. He was the subject of a storyline that took place after Hollywood Hulk Hogan was forced by Vince McMahon to sit out the rest of his contract. After Hogan won at WrestleMania XIX, McMahon was kayfabe frustrated with him and wanted Hulkamania to die. A WWE pre-debut push took place with mysterious Mr. America promos airing for weeks during SmackDown!. There was also on-screen discussion on SmackDown! between then General Manager Stephanie McMahon and other players concerning her hiring Mr. America “sight unseen.” On May 1, Mr. America debuted on SmackDown! on Piper’s Pit segment. McMahon appeared and claimed that Mr. America was Hulk Hogan in disguise, and Mr. America shot back by saying, “I am not Hulk Hogan, brother!” (lampooning Hogan’s use of “brother” in his promos). The feud continued through the month of May, with a singles match between Mr. America and Hogan’s old rival Roddy Piper at Judgment Day. McMahon tried desperately to prove that Mr. America was indeed Hulk Hogan but failed at all attempts. Mr. America even passed a lie detector test. Mr. America’s last WWE appearance was on the June 26 edition of SmackDown!.
