Been checking out the three Von Erichs displayed (Kerry, Texas Tornado, and Kevin) and had some ideas that involve simple switches:
Kerry winning the NWA world title:
Texas Tornado head/body + WCCW Kerry fore-arms for the white wrist tape + Roddy Piper or Hacksaw blue knee pads + WCCW Kerry white boots. About the only thing I can't confirm is whether or not Texas Tornado has blue stripes down the side of his trunks ~ and if he doesn't it's a simple paint job.
Kevin in his more iconic white trunks:
WCCW Kerry body + Kevin Head + Kevin calves/feet (no knee pads)

Sounds good. Add the TNA/NWA belt and you have a winner!
I've been waiting for people to talk about using the Texas Tornado to make a Hogan figure. Yellow tights & Yellow wrist bands save people from a lot of painting. Yellow Savage boots & red pads and your body is done.

I can't wait for these figures! |

I can't wait for the Von Erichs either! Bandalero, your NWA Title Kerry recipe sounds dead on! From what I can see, the yellow trunks don't have the blue stripes, but like you said, a simple paint job.
KVE is a guy like Flair that I will attempt to make in every attire.

I'll probably get the Texas Tornado and make a simple ECW Shane Douglas custom. not sure who's head I'll use though.

There are some Undertaker heads that can be modded to make a descent looking Shane. Or you could track down his wCw fig and mod the head to fit. |

I was planning on getting 2 each of all 3 Von Erich figures, but now it sounds like I'll need to get 3 of each. lol

If I do this, I'll sell you the head or trade for another head if you have something I need. |

Kevin would be more iconic in yellow, IMO.

Kevin would be more iconic in yellow, IMO. While he's worn yellow and red trunks for sure, most of the WCCW tapes I have of him is in white trunks. Plus if I'm going for that David Von Erich Memorial Parade of champions card-look for Kerry, I'm 99% sure Kevin was on that card teaming with his dad and Mike vs the Freebirds in white jeans. He just seemed to wear white alot more. |

Any ideas for a decent David fix-up?

I'm definitely in the market for a good David recipe too! I need at least three Von Erich boys to take on the Freebirds!

Don't know if this would work, but if a Mattel's hair is removeable - how about Kerry's head with Bob Orton's hair? It's molded to fit a cowboy hat (Terry Funk hat painted black). That's all a stretch really, not sure how that would look.

Just trying to find the right head....Maybe a modded Jericho.... Someone on here made a custom Shane Douglas a few months back using a RVD head. It looked pretty good. I've got an extra head from Shane's old ECW figure, I may see if I can mod it to fit. |
