joes havnt been 3 3/4 inches in a long time...I would buy a 6 inch joe line if it looked as good as this and most other wrestling figures but I would be very selective. I wouldnt have space for 2 or 3 hundred 6 inch figures.

EXCELLENT job on that, Slaughter's_Marauder. I'm a huge wrestling fan going back to when I started watching in '85, but I don't remember him ever wearing the blue/white outfit Mattel put him in, so I looked around the web a bit and found this:

There's no denying that the countless versions of Hulk Hogan and Steve Austin are probably the most popular wrestling figures of all-time. Due to his inclusion in the nearly thirty-year-old G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero toy line, Sgt. Slaughter would undoubtedly rank right up there with "The Immortal" and "Stone Cold." The Mattel Slaughter is based on a design never before seen on a figure of the Sarge. It's based upon Slaughter's early '80s attire, so you could really either call it a Mid-Atlantic Wrestling or '84ish WWF Slaughter. The living Joe himself comes complete with removable hat, glasses, whistle, and elbow pads. It's very refreshing to long-time collectors for Mattel to seemingly try and produce never-before-made looks for some of these figures.
(this wasn't my pic, it was from another site....I've never scanned mine but I will someday) Did you hand paint the GI Joes logos on his tights? I was just looking at those and marveling over the detail and precision. But regardless of whether those were hand painted or not, the whole paint app is spectacular. I'd love to own one of these, honestly.

Anyway, I love what you did to this figure. Especially the second one you did. It really reminds me of this old advertisement from the back of an issue of one of my old GI Joe magazines: (this wasn't my pic, it was from another site....I've never scanned mine but I will someday) Did you hand paint the GI Joes logos on his tights?
