...was he only $11.99? I wish! It's just a basic peg the figure was put on. AWESOME JOB! hey how did you do that?? I used the RTWM Rock upper body & put it on a legends 3 rock lower torso & legs To break the figures torso follow either steps below; wfigs.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=Customs&action=display&thread=227873or Boil a cup of water in the microwave for 3 minutes, put the figure in it (BUT BE VERY CAREFUL!!!) the water bubbles up the second you put the figure in so do it slowly, let it sit in there for a minute then take the toy out, let the water drain thats trapped in the figure over a sink & use leather gloves or a hand towel to hold the figure so you don't get burned by any remainder water. As your holding the figure place a phillips flat screwdriver behind either shoulder & break it apart, do the same with the other side. the figure will come apart very easily, just make sure to leave it in there for a minute or so, this gives the glue enough time to become soft.

I'm in CALI as well, and i have about 5 TRU stores within 30 miles. I do notice that CALIFORNIA stores get well stocked. The one nearest to me still has Elite Santino, I should grab it.

When I saw this figure on display at SDCC I went wild, (as much of us did I think) the first thing I thought about doing was this fix up. The shirt turned out really good, I was just about to cut it up when I noticed that if the sleeve is tucked into the shoulder joint it gives the figure the sleeveless effect. I have wanted a Rock figure with the full tattoos since the jakks era but it never came (in DA form anyway) with that said I guess the only thing left to say is… thanks Mattel!

Normally, I'm a MOC collector but I may have to keep The Rock loose. He's such a great figure!
