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.

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!
