I've been working on a line of Hasbro inspired wrestling figures for UK promotion Discovery Wrestling using rubber moulds and liquid resin.
At a recent show they were hosting Ring of Honor heavyweight champion JAY LETHAL.
I decided to take the opportunity to make a custom Jay Lethal figure and present it to the man himself (which he loved) but also made a duplicate to sell which he kindly signed.

The "recipe" is a Hasbro Rick Martel torso and arms, which I cast in a rubber mould. The legs are from a MR Perfect figure which I'd previously cast. I sculpted knee and kick pads and recast the new design. Then I sculpted the head from scratch and made a mould of that.

Both figures were then painted using a variety of acrylic paints then sealed with a durable spray varnish.

As this is made from cast parts it no longer has the "real wrestling action" Hasbro wrestling figures were famous for... but I'm working on it :D

It was a little nerve racking waiting for the "and who is it meant to be?" But he knew it was himself straight away and was pretty excited with it.
Get to do the same in June with Chris Hero and then Chris Sabin in July (two more big fans of the old Hasbro figures) so fingers crossed I get the same response

Love the forum name BTW. Jeff Farmer, one of the all time greats on the stick
