Finished up my Barry Windham fix-up. This is the best I can think of with the parts available as a straight fix-up with no painting involved, 100% fully playable:    Head's a tad big but we don't have any other comparable Barry Windham head. And I really think the Akeem/Dusty boot combo is the best we can get at the moment. |

Not sure about Windham, but that Arn is fantastic.

I like the Windham fix up. What body did you use for it? Steve Austin? I think I would have rather stayed with all Dusty boots over doing a half and half color like that. Just doesn't look right imo. I do however love the overall look of the figure, that is just the only thing i would fix.

Barry looks great. Certainly came out better than mine. I used Drew's calves because my DiBiase's skintone didn't match Austin's. I also used all of Akeem's boots because I didn't have a spare Dusty foot mold. Although I think I would have painted the side straps on the boots white.

Loving the Windham! If Mattel would ever release the Magnum TA then your boot dilemma would be solved. But in the same token, if they'd just make Windham, the world would be a better place.

Yes I was bummed that Barry didn't finish in the top 5 last year. But at the same token I am hoping that seeing all those 18 wrestlers were signed Mattel must have started working on most of them and will release them as FB's to make back some of the costs spent on them already.

I doubt that any would reach the Flashback line. Wouldn't they have used one or two by now? So far Liz is the only one to make it as a Flashback from the polls. The 18 Legends were meant for Matty.com, way before the Flashback series. The only ones I can see making it as a Flashback is Doink, Crush and Barry if we get Flair made first. |

I think they did. Wasn't Papa Shango on the list? And I know they were for the Matty Legends line. But most of that list was Legends 6 & 7 as well as the Legends 2-Packs Series 2. So many of them already had sculps & tooling done on them before the poll was ever listed if they were going to make it to retail before the lines were canceled at retail. So if they already had spent some sort of costs on them for the Legends lines and that line was canceled..then why not throw some of them in the FlashBacks slots throughout the next year or so and get back some of the costs spent already on them before spending more on other wrestlers for the flashbacks?

That Windham looks great Bandy. Im slowly inching closer to getting mine finished. Took yours and PJs advice with the wash on the hair last night. I need to get my hands on that shiny US title too. Ive only got the smaller one that's painted but has a dull finish to it.

Thanks guys and yeah I hear you loud and clear about the boots - actually PJ that's a good idea about painting the straps on the sides white.
I think if I took the time to paint the boots all-black it wouldn't look so "test-shot" weird looking, but I have faith that Mattel will get around to releasing that Magnum T.A. - then like marino13 said - boot problem solved.
The all-dusty boots look is very bad, Dusty has some very large boots and it looks big and ugly on Barry's slender legs <-- I never ever thought I'd write a line like that in my life.

Not a huge photo shoot tonight, you've all seen this fix-up before - but I got Lex Luger back from the "innovator of excellence" himself, The1Dean70! Dean dremelled out this Toybiz head, repainted the hair and touched up the a few areas here and there ~ BIG THANK YOU MAN!. It's probably the best Lex Luger headsculpt at this scale we'll ever get until MDT decide to make one. I was going for his Capital Combat '90 look vs Ric Flair, but the headsculpt is so mean I'm tempted to make a WCW heel champ Lex circa '91 in yellow trunks/knee pads using a Texas Tornado base or maybe even a blue-trunks Galoob-version.   |
