Just figured I'd share some of my most recent receivings from eBay and deals on here, along with some fix-ups. First off, your current WWE Tag Champs... PRIMO Y EPICO! I bought an extra 2P5 Carlito/Primo set off eBay last week which I just received in the mail today so I could put this set together. Also painted and detailed up the new tag belts that came with Slater & Gabriel (nice sculpt, the dull color makes them look so much worse imo) to go along with them. Some closer shots of the belts: Slater/Gabriel: Slater is hands down one of my absolute favorite basic figures to date, really hope we get an Elite in his new gear eventually. Swapped the Gabriel scan onto his Elite figure and I feel like it's pretty much a perfect figure of the guy. Not the best painting attempt, but I really wanted a figure of Cody in his new gear. Pretty happy with it myself. Picked these three up from a member on here for $33 shipped total. Still pretty stoked on that deal. Goldust came complete as well, but I'm displaying him without all the accessories. Painted the silver details on Batista's boots and couldn't be happier to have such a good Dave on my shelf. I traded wf member jeremiah for these, and sans Mason Ryan & Brodus Clay (other than he who shall not be named & special attraction figures like modern Steamboat and whatnot) I now have at least one of every modern released male wrestler Mattel has put out which is nice. All three are great figures, and if anyone is interested I do have an extra 2P5 Carlito now for trade or sale. Thanks for looking!

Did you find Slater/Gabriel at retail, or order them online?

Well, that set is really cool and your work on the Tag Belts make the belts look really nice. I actually want those titles now! Did you just do a dry brush coat on the belts or is there more to it to get that look? Thanks for sharing!

Cody and the tag belts look pretty good, I would just try to get some mattel knee pads on Rhodes. I need to get my hands on an Elite goldust, I'm just skeptical about trading or buying on here.

Awesome. Which one are you using as Epico?

The belts look good. The circular design and bronze color make them look like pennies though.

Such a good idea for Epico. I need to see if I can find a loose Primo as I already have that head. Belts look great too. Its a real shame how nice the sculpts for those belts are, yet the coloring makes them look horrid.

Thanks everyone!
I think the 2P5 Primo scan resembles Epico personally. As far as the belts go, I just took some metallic copper paint to them and then scraped it off some of the raised details to give it a more defined look. Cody is just Elite 3 with a headswap. And the BP2 set was in fact bought online.
