Re: 1/6 WWF Wrasslin' customs
Have heard about shrinking sculpts how does that work?
Nice sculpt if you can do it for 1/6 scale.
Like that hulk ski painted, that is incredibly good, seen it in his thread
I'm actually getting someone to do it for me, apparently there's shrinking material out there, kinda like the casting process.
I think there's some 1/6 AJPW belts on eVILBAY. I really need to make Bruiser Brody now...
Those belts are pretty nice, I might pick up a couple. I feel robbed that I didn't get to watch Bruiser during his run, looked like he could have been a big star in the WCW or WWF. I always wondered why Vince didn't snatch that guy up. He probably would have misused him like he did Dusty Rhodes. Polka dots and dancing with Saphire?
Sorry for the delay man, took me a while to find the best pics.
His hair is tied into a ponytail, but I'm sure once the ponytail is removed it shouldn't be that hard to lengthen his hair.
I know he is in jolts in that pic but I've got one, and he is in long jeans, loafers and "Try me i'll make you famous" muscle top.
Great figure actually.
They also did Y2J, Austin, Rock, Jericho, Jeff Hardy, RVD and a few others I think.
I love that sculpt, I think it's the best likeness out there. Can't wait to see what you do with it.
I have the RVD and I plan to do a bash from that figure as the outfit looks great and the headsculpt has a good likeness. I used the Rock head for my custom and it turned out decent, though I wish that Andy B. Rock headsculpt happened.
Oddly enough, I was randomly watching that match again only about a week or two before seeing your Bret custom. Perfect timing.
HBK/Bret at Wrestlemania 12 is my all time favourite match also. I have a ton of WWE figures from the Mattel/Jakks 6" line, but boy, what I'd give for a 1/6 HBK or Bret like yours!
Wrestling as a whole was so amazing in the 90's. Bret and HBK really tore it up at WM Xii, it was a shame Bret took a brake after that night, but he scaled new heights upon his return with Steve Austin. The man is a pro wrestling LEGEND. It makes me so sad to see current day wrestling.
This has become one of my favourite threads on SideshowCollectors.
To anyone interested in collecting WWE figures from the 6" line there are some awesome figures out there. But I have never seen a wrestling related figure as good as this 1/6 Bret, and I am an active wrestling figure collector who owns 100's both loose and moc.
My second favorite Bret/HBK match was the one on prime time wrestling back when there were both tag team wrestlers. I believe it was the first time they had a singles match and they really tore the house down.
Wasn't that Steve Austin mania match incredible? I need to watch that one again.
I don't watch/like the current product, the last storylines I followed was HBK retiring and Rock/Cena (I watched all of it on youtube). I read some of the news on wrestling just to get an idea of what's happening with hopes that they'll finally do something cool (I had high hopes for Brock Lesnar's return but that seemed to fizzle, I believe he lost in his first match back
).
You should hit up Arsyn for the headsculpt if you're interested in making a Bret as all the parts are available from the different artists on here (i.e., Corrose has the tights transfers). I'd love to see more Bret figures.
Last year I decided to collect 1/6 figures exclusively so I sold all of my 6" figures, any statues, diecast cars, etc. The only think I missed from that purge were the WWE mattel legends. I broke down last week and picked up two Bret legends. I might give in and buy an HBK too.
If they made a Vince Mcmahon with good articulation I'd pick it up just to have Bret put him in the sharpshooter
Was hoping to get this sculpt customized/painted:
. 
I finished a Sting and Rock but I could use other versions of them
