I'm a mark for the Machines. I loved their theme song. The wrestling was not great but it was really cool to see Superstar, Mulligan, and Andre come out of the back and each Machine just got bigger. And I remember Gene Okerlund trying to pawn off that Andre was really Giant Baba. Nice work on this - your repair work doesn't show up as anything more than customization.

Giant Machine. So much clay used. I sculpted the mask, the strap across the body, most of the tights because the figure was so beat up, missing chunks and slices of rubber. Great job. Beautiful figure. You can hardly tell it's Baba underneath. Edit- ah, damn, Superstar stole my joke at the top of this page

I love that Hogan, that was IWGP Champ Hogan! Also love the Orton cast - it actually looks like a real cast! What's the deal with the Hart Foundation? They look great but what was the customization - didn't they make a Hart Foundation set? I simply don't remember.

They look great but what was the customization - didn't they make a Hart Foundation set? I simply don't remember. Hart foundation had 2 variants, a black top with purple or pink tights, black boots, no decals. I made them look closer to what they wore around 1988-89. I repainted hitman's sunglasses ro silver and detailed Anvil's beard a bit more, as well as striping the tights and the boots.

A Big Boss Man I fixed up. I gave him a new left index finger. Changed the striping to yellow on the pants, the sunglasses to silver, and repainted his shirt. Attachments:

How about a 1980 Florida Muraco with bald head and removable Magnificent M mask? That era was the first time I saw the larger-framed Muraco we'd come to see for the next 12 years or so. Donut box as an accessory, or meatball sandwich. I don't think there were any bald LJN figures except Sheiky. I doubt he could remove the hair from an LJN.
I do want to see an NWA Champ Harley Race, complete with the trunks and NWA Belt.

LOVE IT! That Harley looks like he just had six beers, a full pack of Reds, and is ready to stomp some Von Erich ass.
