Thanks all. Glad to hear the Undertaker custom is a winner! Didn't debut Taker still have the reaper forearm tattoo? I think that was his only one. Yes. Unfortunately I cannot execute small details such as tattoos. Damn shame too, cuz I think that tattoo is soooo cool. you can generally always see dolph's brown hair peeking through the dye job Dolph even said this year at comic con that he wishes Mattel would put some brown/black in his hair because likes to let some of it show Yup, I remember that! Believe it or not I actually started with brown as the base. After I dry brushed the blonde and water painted the black areas it got lost. WOW BROTHER!!.. i prefer the undertaker you mader over elite 23!.. can you please tell me which head came from where?.. where did the "leather" jacket come from? amazing pictures brother, your work is valuable and made me wanna spend money on mattel that i didn't intend on spending so great work.. MATTEL should start using WWE.COM or these boards more often to show off their work.. the normal, standard pics we get from RSC are cool and i enjoy them....BUT SERIOUSLY BRO your photos trigger emotions and have forced me to buy the new MIZ Elite.. i'd like to see mattel or rsc hire you ( or sum1 with that talent) and randomly give us figure poses, or face-offs or action shots... who agrees?... good job brother dig it I dig it! Thanks, very kind of you. Elite 24 Miz is a must. The detail and outfit are great. Glad to hear you are going to buy it. Definitely worth the loot. As for the Taker head, it's from the jakks classic collection Undertaker/Paul Bearer 2 pack. Great sculpt. It just needed a little sanding down on the top and bottom to be more in scale with a Mattel scale body. The jacket is from the Mattel Entrance Greats Undertaker. The jacket is inaccurate but I like it anyhow. Looks really nice. Nice work on this! I did an early 90s Taker bash using E23 and the EG Taker, but I love how you painted the tattered sleeves. I thought about doing this, but was concerned about the paint rubbing off. seeing yours gave me some hope, his it holding up? Did you use a sealer? Thanks. The paint is going to hold extremely well. I first washed the parts I painted with dawn soap dish then used testors model masters acrylic flat black. I let it dry and it sticks with no problems. $hit, I even put the painted parts in hot water to soften the plastic up during reconstruction and it doesn't rub off. No sealer needed.

I figured you just straight up swapped the arms with the EG taker but then I realized he had black gloves. So did you paint his elite gloves gray ad sand off/paint over his tattoos, or did you swap the eg arms and paint over the black gloves somehow.

So did you paint his elite gloves gray ad sand off/paint over his tattoos, or did you swap the eg arms and paint over the black gloves somehow. The skin color is tan on the EG Undertaker the arms are also smaller in diameter. They are the same mold used on mostly all Undertaker figures. The only undertaker figure that was given the big arms was the DM version. I dropped the gloves and used the hands from a mail away Vince McMahon. These are actually a greenish grey in color under the flesh tone paint. I did however use the purple cuffs. The arms are off a Basic Vladimir Kozlov. Undertaker Looks awesome man!! ! Thanks Apoc! That Crush looks clean. Cool man, I like what you did with the head, EG taker head always looked like Rick spams from walking dead to me... Lol! Damn. I'm not gonna look at my EG taker elite fixup the same way again.. Thanks and sorry my fellow enthusiast! That's the reply I was waiting for. That's quite the compliment. I loved the Mattel scan but I felt the jakks scan crushed it.
