Folks I give you: The Enforcer, Arn Anderson (looking a lot like his Galoob!) I know MDT were going for his WWF Brainbusters look, but when I think of Arn's most iconic looks, it was either his baby blue trunks or this red/white combo. Big thanks to Apoc for being the Master Trunk-Splitter (that sounds wrong I know) and Dean for the E13 Cody Rhodes legs idea. I've got my ultimate Arn Anderson and old Nature Boy has got his best friend with him: Some guys were wondering why would anyone order two Arns since Tully is also coming with the tag belts and therefore we somehow got suckered...Not sure why because without my second Arn I wouldn't have gotten an Elite M$M: Still need to acetone off the "AA" from the trunks and the "Simply" and "Ravishing" from the boots. Of course if I decide to I could very well re-assemble my second Arn for trade - that's how easy this fix-up was. And I think Demolition look amazing with the classic tag belts: Anyways, back in 1996 when the web was text-based (yes kids, no graphics!) I stumbled across a wrestling website called ddtdigest.com. I'd e-mail a couple times with the owner, Bill, inquiring about title histories and such. He's probably the biggest Arn Anderson fan I know, so for those of you who know little about double-A, please visit the Arn Anderson Tribute Site.

I did the same thing with my M$M. Except I acetoned off the AA on the tights and the Simply Ravishing on the boots. That formula really does make an excellent M$M. Pretty much Mattel made. Love the AA tights to. Pretty unique. Also, why does Ric Flair have lip stick on? lol

Very nice. I think we should have an official thread on figure recipes and a how to on torso/trunk splitting.
Since I want a COO Triple H I might pick up a Legends 2 pk Piper/Orton and give that Ric Flair figure a shot too.
Great work.
