Ok I was taking a leak and got the idea of making a pair of DA Steiner brothers, as I have an extra DA Tazz figure that I got in an eBay lot and never knew what to do with due to his attire.
Rick Steiner is pretty simple: DA Tazz body, RA Rick Steiner head and arms, Raplhs varsity jacket and a singlet repaint.
Scott is the problem. First off, obviously, Jakks never made a retro Scott so I need to totally do a head from scratch, which isnt my forte. Secondly, using another Tazz fig wouldnt work cause even back then Scotty was a juice freak, so I was thinking of using a Kurt Angle, I just need to get one with boots and not sneakers so I dont have to do a leg swap.
So here's my questions: First, which Kurt Angle figure has boots and not sneakers? And second, whats the easiest way of making a vintage Scotty head? I figure a DI Scott Steiner head, dremel off the goatee and short hair, and put on a mullet hairpiece, but who's hair would you recommend and whats the easiest way of taking it off and putting it on another head?
Karma will definitely be given for useful tips

Any Kurt Angle a part from DI one must be useful. For the head, dremeling the beard and putting a mullet on the head could be hard. I saw Warsman use a RA Tatanka with Jeff Jarrett hair. Here's a pic, hope it helps.  |

interesting, looks kinda angry lol Im surprised they didnt give Tatanka a smile, given he was pretty much always a babyface. Whats the best way of taking off Tatankas and Jarretts hair, and which Jarrett should I look for to get the hair from

RI Jeff Jarret. Put both heads in hot water and the hair should come off.

I just noticed the CS Tatanka might work better, his face isnt as intense, makes me want to add a DA Tatanka to my list of customs lol

Just a thought would the hair off a DI Jarrett work and would the hot water work the same, I figure if I have to buy a whole figure Id at least have use for the extra Deluxe body

I have the Galoob Steiner head that Warsman enlarged, looks great and is still by far the best Scott Steiner for a custom I've seen.

That would be awesome, Ill keep that in mind, Ill pull together all the parts I have now n what Ill have when I finish my latest projects. that Scott looks nice, especially with that Mattel tag, Id love a pair of them for my Steiners once I finish them. Looks like I might have to use that head after all, CS Tatanka is a bit harder to find even on the bay and if Im gonna spend extra on a CS Tatanka Im gonan use of for a DA custom of him. I have the Galoob Steiner head that Warsman enlarged, looks great and is still by far the best Scott Steiner for a custom I've seen. I was looking for more WWF-era Steiners, Scott's hair had more volume n was slightly less mullet-y by that time |

Painting a custom head from scratch skintone and all might be a bit out of my league, plus I dont have the money or need of enough custom heads to meet a minimum order at this point, I have customs planned but cant afford all I need to make them just yet |
