Post subject:  A commission / surprise for a Victim of Hurricane Sandy

So before the hurricane his a friend of mine asked if I could do a figure of his nephew, an avid wrestling fan, as well a wrestler. I said I could. We talked about payment options and then Sandy hit. He lost everything. His house was under 5 feet of water. Everything gone. Knowing this I decided to make the figure for free and as an added bonus include a figure of him. Then I realized as wrestlers they'd need a ring, and Patrick A. Riley came to the rescue providing a complete Build 'N Brawl ring. Then I went to work. I was determined to make them as playable as possible. Even so, all but Frank's shirt received full paint then they were sealed. Anyway here's what I came up with.

First a pic of Frank and his nephew Joe (so very fitting).

Now the figures.

He got the package and is really excited to give them to his nephew.

I want to give a huge shout out and THANK YOU to Patrick A. Riley for the ring which really put this over the top.

I'll add more pics once I get them from Frank.

Thanks guys. He told me that his nephew was crushing him all day after opening them up and setting up the ring.

Got a pic from my buddy after they opened the figures XMas day. Thanks again to Patrick A Riley for the ring. He tells me that whenever he sees his nephew all he wants to do is play with these guys.
