So, without further ado, let us proceed to the pics!
First up, the weird figures... Each of the following few are NOT rubber for one reason or another.
This Brocken is actually a tiny model kit. He is the same size as standard keshi, but is made of hard plastic and has rudimentary articulation. Pretty awesome. I love these little kits, and if you have any, I will buy them.
This Meat is the closest figure I could find to a true representation of the character. He even has the Panda shirt and the little glasses line on his face. He is a resin cast of a 1" mini I have, so he is actually scaled a little better as well. He came out great, as the 1" keshi are often a little soft detail wise. Also his mold was hastily made. Basically I was pouring a mold for a different project and quickly stuffed Mito into a little cup with the extra silicone in it. I was pretty surprised he turned out.
I was thinking how awesome a keshi of Mixer Taitei would be if he had a clear mixy part. So I did the same thing as I did with the Mito above. I stuffed a MUSCLE into an extra blob of silicone. There wasn't enough material to mold the entire figure, So the arms and legs are actually from a MUSCLE. I dremelled the arm stumps and waist into pegs to hold the rubber parts. It worked out pretty well. Clear resin is not fun.
This figure is for the most part, rubber. He came in a lot of figures I bought on the boards. The seller was cool and threw in a bag of beat up guys. This figure was missing the helmet spike, had a mangled right foot and a damaged left forearm. The damage appeared to be of the "chewed" variety. I cut off the foot, and carved out the forearm. Then I used epoxy putty(procreate and brown stuff) to sculpt a spike, new foot and forearm. Once painted you would never know that he had formerly been a junk figure.
Ok. Now the regular stuff.
First up, guys in masks.
skyman
Cactus Man
Dark II
Jaws man
Mr. American
Next, some guys in outfits....also in the interest of space, I am only posting backside pics if for some reason said backside is interesting. I.E. good textures or details differing from the front.
Million Hell
Devil Magician
Hunter
Kandera Man (what does that mean??)
A couple guys based on real wrestlers...
Beauty Rhodes
The Sheik... had to get some boring ones out of the way.
A couple of the seven devils...
Mr Karmen
Springman
Atlantis
Buffalo Man
Guys made of stuff (these descriptions are how I sort my figures. I am serious. I sit on the floor and put them in piles named things like "Guys made of stuff")
King the 100 Ton
Diaman... a painting nightmare! I don't really know what I was thinking when I conceived of the paint scheme. Basically I wanted to paint him exactly the way I would draw a cartoony diamond. He was work intensive to say the least. However, the stark shading came out well, and was well worth the effort.
Kendaman
Screw Kid is not technically "made of stuff". I would actually sort him into the "guys who are hardware" pile. He is being included here due to his association with kendaman.
Magnitude 1 Man... also a painting nightmare. Thought he would be cool if he looked like fresh lava flows. Took me forever to get the effect right. Sadly this picture dull it down somewhat.
Mr VTR. Yeah, I know he should be with Mixer Taitei.
Teapack Man
Tag Teams which do not fit in other categories
Specialman
Canadian man
Mongol Man
Buffaloman... I forgot to take any tag team pics other than the one above. I am going to assume you know who goes with who and that you forgive me.
The last category is loosely defined as " guys who are important"
Akuma Shogun
Warsman. It is hard to photograph warsman. Alot of his detail doesn't show in this pic. I'll try to replace it.
Wolfman
That's it for now! Thank you for wading through my huge update. I'll try to be more prompt next time.
