Just got my legends Eddie. Torso has been cracked before but wasn't sealed properly and the shoulders are loose. Should I crack the torso again and seal it properly to get them normal? Unless you want a loose armed Eddie then I say that's your only option

If properly gluing the torso back together doesn't help, try wrapping some teflon/plumber's tape around the peg to tighten up the shoulders. can anyone tell me if any of the undertaker or kane figures have the new ball hip joint? E19 Kane does as mentioned above. E22 doesn't have them, though. Not sure about E31. E27 Taker does have the new hips 100%.

Threw together a few simple fix ups for my collection. Nothing fancy, only part switches but they work for me with the parts I had available. Al Snow Raven - I want to change the kick pads to boots but haven't figured out how yet. I also have a TNA head I'm gonna use after I dremel it out. Also have Deans tattoos I still gotta apply. Team Angle Impact Players - need a cane and a lighter torso for Justin Credible. I also got to switch the forearms to white tape WWF Lance Storm

Thanks to my best friend sticky tack, I now have a Legends Eddie Guerrero in playable condition. Jokes on you, evilbay seller, I too know my way when it comes to figures. He has white tack in both shoulders, and his torso. The legs were fine. I also gave him a Basic 29 head, since the seller sold it to me with a TTL head. Everything you see on Chavo are the accessories he sent along with the figure. Elbow pad included. I didn't want to let the TTL head go to waste since it is really nice, so I put it on my Basic 29 Eddie to create him from Wrestlemania 19. Indeed, he has that weird half-mullet he was rocking around 2003. And thanks to Affliction: Elite Trader for this D-Bry head. I was originally going to use it for a custom Trevor Lee, but I love how it looks on my E19 so much, I might just keep it. [/URL] I'm going to end this post now. Yeah. I'll see myself out after that one.

If it's the one I think it is, the seller has quite a few dodgy lookin customs

I might buy it for the parts to make a Brian Cage. But he sells the figures for cheap so I love him lol

What body are you using on your Lance Storm? Is that a TTL head? It's quite lovely.

Did two more easy part swaps this week. Nothing that hasn't been done before but it made the figures so much better. I got this CM Punk today and also found a basic with this head and thought it'd look good. I think this is my favorite Punk head Mattel made. Also, if you can find this elite with a good paint job its one of the best Punks made aswell. Now moving onto a wrestling god, the best wrestler of our generation. I swapped the basic arms and head from the new Heath Slater. With the JR cowboy hat from Punk I was able to complete the icon BIG CLEM LAYFIELD.

Terry Funk body Daniel Bryan arms RSC Exclusive CM Punk kick pads TTL head I really like the CS head better but it looks too big. My other option was a Wade Barrett torso but this one suited him better.

Can you post pics from the side to see how it looks from the sides? Also can you further explain what you mean when you say dremeled? I would really like to try this myself.

I am new to this fix up thing for Mattels but I am very interested in trying some different things out. I wanted to ask is there a general list of what will and what won't work when using Jakks heads on Mattel figs?
Obviously most BCAs don't look right but as far as TTLs and R3s. Just glancing at some TTLs it looks like the head wouldn't even match right. But then again I see some amazing fix ups using TTL heads
Help would be appreciated

Skintones sometimes match. TTL - Some fit, others need to have a hole dremelled out in the bottom. Skintone's sometimes match. R3 - They all fit. But some have uneven skintones that don't match with Mattel's bodies.

Saw an old Fixup Dean did and I was inspired I guess. I just wanted to see how they looked before I crack the torsos. Thoughts? Should I do it? I think Eddie looks good on his own. Obviously Chavito is way to ripped.
