okay I'm really excited writing this now but I think Kevin Von Erich's head scan looks like Owen Hart.
And with Bret Hart coming out head swap is in his future
Maybe?
What do you think?

That's actually the first thing I thought of when I saw that figure. It's probably the closest thing to Owen that we'll get from Mattel. Not perfect, but the closest thing to it so far.

I'll probably get Kevin just for this headswap. Of course it's not a perfect Owen, but as others have said it might be as good as it's gonna get. Now we just need a good singlet body to put it on. Something that uses the Santino body.
Maybe if we get a Bret with all black attire, a simple leg swap with someone who has short tights will be all we need.

Yeah i'm hoping it will be easy to do as I'm not much of a customiser. I thought I'd have had more responces...  |

I guess it kinda looks like Owen a little bit.
As for the body Ralph's always has pre-made Owen Hart outfits if you don't mind cloth ring gear. They're made more for Jakks but he may make a custom Mattel one. If not you could try painting Jack Swagger's torso.

I had the same idea, but lately, I've been thinking Kevin looks more like Gary Busey strung out after a long night of partying than it does Owen Hart.

Either that Kerry resembles Owen or that Kerry doesn't look like Kerry. Doesn't seem to resemble either but its probably the most logical alternative Owen head solution.

I found a molded head on e-bay some time ago that was addvitised for Mattel.
It was good but not painted and for me would be impossible to do.
2 Kevins (1 for Owen 1 for keeps) may be the only solution and I didnt think I'd find.
I'm pritty picky on headsculpts and I think its a quite good owen to say its not supposed to be

It's the calf muscles that changes the height of the figures. The Torso would be fine with smaller calves. Then he wouldn't be wayyyyy to tall. |

What does it matter if he's too tall if you plan on using a face that doesn't look like Owen Hart? Scale would be the least of your concerns. Might as well use Shelton Benjamin's torso while you're at it. |

I thought he did look a little like Owen thats why I wanted other peoples opion's. The thing is I think Owen Hart was great and I want him represented in my collection. Im not a customiser, I have'nt got the skills... I managed to make a Ric Flair and a Chris Benoit using other peoples recipes and help from Ralphs clothing becaude there was not that much Painting to be done just a few swapped parts. The big problem is a headsculpt and lets face it whats the chances of us getting 1... Speaking of way too tall has anyone found the right carves to shorten Mr Perfect? |

I really don't see the resemblance to Owen. I mean, if it works for you, then definately go for it, but I don't see it.

I have been looking at quite a few Kevin Von Elrich and Owen Hart photos and comparing them with the figure,,, The nose is wrong for Owen but it still has a look of him. Its not perfect but its deffently the best option I can think of. We have not got a Jakks head to use have we? |
