I was planning on making a Mattel Ultimo Dragon(wcw) Does the jakks head look well on the mattel body and whos body could I use?
To save money id like to use only 1 mattel figure if possiable and the jakks Ultimo Head if it looks ok.
Also what would you recommend using for the chest piece? I was thinking of just using magic sculpt but then the movement would be limited.
THANKS

Im using the jakks head on a Sin cara body, with kickpads and rey arms that dont have sleeves. The chest plate is an issue depending on color. I plan to make the green attire, so I will be using E25 sincara base. But if you were to make a black one, or red one, the rubber shirts mattel made with the molded sleeves work work fine if you cut them to shape.
BUt it's tough to paint rubber so this wont be a playable option for me. I may try to use a piece of foam or something and just paint the designs. You are right however, scupting the chest plate would limit arm movement.
classicdas made a red ultimo dragon a few weeks ago, but he made a bigger base consisting of a terry funk torso. If you don't care about accurate height this would work. I've put the Jakks head on the sincara torso and it looks fine, I just don't think you'll be able to use 1 whole figure for him unless its a E19 HBK and you make the black attire.

Ultimo Dragon, if done correctly would be an epic custom!

Thinking of buying an elite series 12 bryan and using the whole body...I also want to make a green attire Ultimo but the black might be easier...i need to buy the jakks Ultimo for the head and im thinking of just sculpting the chest piece like this one wfigs.proboards.com/thread/78135its not 100% accurate on the chest piece but it still looks damn good. |

beware, the Jakks Ultimo head has a one of a kind internal peg, which can be problematic to get out of the head.

Yeah i think iv encountered that with the Jakks R3 Scott Hall...i just droped the head in some hot water for a few mins and pulled the peg out with some neddle nose pliers. If its the same it shouldn't be to hard. Hopefully  |
