Hey guys this is my 1st time ever attempting to flip around any of my spare Mattel figures I had a spare Orton well the All Stars ones and I was going to trade it as i have the E9 version but i got the Summerslam 1/1000 figure and i don't usually get basics but it was my 1st 1/1000 sighting ever anyway long story short i did a head swap to get an elite classic legend killer orton and i'm pretty chuffed at how he turned out

That scan is so cool, I hope they make an Elite with it... either way, great fix up! If you could just switch the arms now it'll be perfect

I would like to do the arms too do you do that the same way ? I feel you'd have to be a lot more delicate with them any advice would be great as i'd love to do it

Ben (that former dudebuster guy) told me you can heat it up and pop it off from the bizeps and downwards, if you want the shoulder aswell you need to crack the torso

no i'd just go for below the shoulder so you could just do the biceps same way as the head ?

Exact same way as the head. Really easy!

The modern Orton figure shoulders are all tatted up, an effective arm swap would have to include those too.

So switched the arms well from shoulder down and i think it looks good the shoulders do look a little off as pc83 said but i wouldn't have to know how to go away cracking the torso and such so this is good enough for me

Looks a lot better with the arm swap, because that scan doesn't fit modern day Orton
