So I have several MOC autographed Mattel Elite figures that I would like to be able to take the plastic part that is autographed and 'move' to a different figure. So instead of having 3 of the same Shawn Michaels Elite 19 figure autographed, I would like to have a different Shawn Michaels autographed without it looking like crap or some sort of cut and paste job. The plastic part is the only part that is autographed, so I would think it isn't the craziest thing to try.
Obviously, I would have to open the boxes so the figure(s) would no longer be MOC but that is fine with me. The figures will be for my display only and I am only concerned with the appearance and for it to appear as if it was autographed. My personal display would look better with 3 different figures autographed, instead of 3 of the same; right now I am only displaying 1 figure and the other two are in storage. Since there are some good collectors on here with creative minds, I figured I'd throw it out there and see if I can get anybody's thoughts. Even if I only get one person's thought and it leads me to think of something else, it's worth it to post...
OR TO MAKE IT EASIER ON ME: If anyone would like to trade me a Bret Hart or Shawn Michaels autographed Elite, see my trade thread in my sig...

Only thing i could think of is removing the figure from the plastic tray and inserting the other in its place. But obviously they would all have the elite 19 box and artwork. Cutting the front window itself and transferring it to another would probably be extremely difficult without making it look obvious.

From reading your predicament, it's impossible without making it obvious.

Thanks guys appreciate all the feedback. I probably won't do it at the end of the day because like some of you said, it won't look that great. And in the end I'll probably regret it. Thanks for your input though. Guess I'll just be patient or maybe list it for auction eventually.

Doing that will ruin your figures.

Just sell them or trade them. I don't think what you're planning is possible without ruining them.

If you do it then you have the risk of him losing his smile
