As for custom figures, most of the points that have been made are dead on.

I'll echo K-LO's comments on the custom figures. I think Jimbo's take on the figures is a fair way to define the limits. I might go with the Miggle Wide Arm being the maximum height, but that would eliminate the FF.com Blitzer.. Course.. If you can get that blitzer to run well, I'd probably be inclined to say power to ya..

On the weights. The 3.2 limit is a bite at times.. Even the standard Miggle TTC's with the dial intended for use with them, do NOT come in at 1.20 the majority of the time. And then you spend too much time chopping the snot out of your bases.. And with so many people using different dials in different shells.. And coming in at the 1.30 or higher weight.. a 1.3 limit on bases might just be the way to go. It certainly would aleviate some hassles.

That being said.. Maybe I shouldn't have.. Cuz our Tornado Alley bases ALL come in at below the 1.20 weight. Which means we are the only dialed base you know you aren't going to have to be slicing and dicing once weigh in starts in a 1.2 / 3.2 format. In a heavier format, At least we have a hole in the top you can add some glue or small locknut and it'll still come in below a 1.3 weight.

I really just wanted to comment on the custom figures, and now I've turned it into a sales pitch. BUT.. Even though I am not one with the artistic talent to make a cool looking custom figure.. I like the idea of them being allowed, especially when they make weight.
