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.

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!.

Over the last week, I had the great opportunity to get to know a very talented Wrestling figure customizer who goes by the name skribbel24. His Custom Brock Lesnar is not only customized from head to toe, he also comes with custom Classic Superstars packaging, which makes a mean looking figure for display. The likeness to Brock is spot on and he even added some height to the figure. One of the coolest parts of the figure are his tattoos, especially the one on his back! I asked skribbel24 how he made this figure and he kindly shared his hard work and what went into this aweseome custom:

“Brock Lesnar is one of the most wanted characters for wrestling action figure collectors. I wanted to take this Brock to the next level by making it completely different from the previous Ruthless Aggression-style Brocks released in the past. Most note-worthy is the headscan, which looks more like Brock than the old scan they used, not to mention he looks meaner and hungrier. Next would be his torso. I used the ripped super heavyweight torso. Brock is a huge guy with massive shoulders, and this torso is perfect for him. I used the new boot mould for him to make him taller, since he is a lot bigger than most wrestlers. I also did away with the conventional knee pads and gave him custom ones. To put the final touches, I painted his famous back tattoo and logo on his tights. I was careful to be accurate with the details since this is a big part of Brock’s look. I finished off “The Next Big Thing” by completing his shoulder tattoos and placing him in a custom Classic Superstars packaging.”

Everyone here at ActionFigureCustoms would like to wish all of you a happy and safe Merry Christmas! We hope Santa delivers everything you want and more!

I will always have fond memories of the World Wrestling Federation (now World Wrestling Entertainment). As a child, I worshiped such wrestling superstars as Hulk Hogan, Randy Savage, The Ultimate Warrior, Demolition, and countless others. As a kid, I religiously watched Wrestling on Saturday mornings and also on Fridays (when I got to stay up late). Since I was a big fan of the live action, I found myself buying the toys (and even went as far as building my own custom wrestling wring out of a large box, Lincoln logs, and rubber bands. I spent hours recreating pivotal matches and I even bought the sound tracks so my toys wrestlers could enter my makeshift arena to their own music. But one thing was missing from the toys when I played with them as a child…realistic clothing!
