Fandango looks much better with the smaller torso and arms.
Gunn would be perfect with the arms Fandango came with.
RVD looks better.
Crush besides larger arms what did ypu do to him?

bharrisfanI cut it down to fit Road Dogg's torso all via an xacto knife and some loctite super glue. Boy WonderCorrect… I was hoping @the1dean70 would have made the boot decals he used on his custom available to the general pubic but to no avail so the tiny brain that inhabits my head went to work and just figured, reuse the boots Mattel provided. I dipped them in hot water, used an xacto knife (again) and trimmed out the DX logo and glued it in place. The black tab that holds the foot in place was such a sore to the eye so I utilized a pair of DM Randy Savage boots tab as a replacement, again just heated, cut and replaced. It was a lot of effort for something so insignificant really but hey… f**k it, I sleep better at night. Hey, I'm planning on doing something similar with the Road Dogg shirt, I'm wondering, after you cut it, was it not staying on right and thats why you glued it? I just wanna know if it will stay on without gluing. Also I'm using scissors because I don't have an xacto. |

what knees/calves did you give rvd? that looks great. They remain his, I just painted them. I do the same to Daniel Bryan and CM Punk figures. I dislike the skin color that is exposed under the knee pads. Fandango looks much better with the smaller torso and arms. Gunn would be perfect with the arms Fandango came with. RVD looks better. Crush besides larger arms what did ypu do to him? Yeah I plan on giving Billy the right sized arms. In fact I just bought another Fundungooo off eBay solely with the intention of doing this As for Crush… I utilized the head and boots from his E28 figure, the rest of that figure will go to the parts inventory for future customs. The rest of him consists of the following; Legends HillBilly Jim Torso/Upper Legs/Knee Pads/Trunks painted with Demolition Print/Design
Legends Ax/Smash leather chest straps fused to cover the larger Hillbilly Jim torso
Basic 36 Jack Swagger Arms
Basic Vladimir Kozlov Left Elbow Pad
E10 Kane CalvesHey, I'm planning on doing something similar with the Road Dogg shirt, I'm wondering, after you cut it, was it not staying on right and thats why you glued it? I just wanna know if it will stay on without gluing. Also I'm using scissors because I don't have an xacto. The tabs were cut off as as the sides had excessive rubber material making the shirt look too big. For this reason the shirt was glued together. I made it as tight as possible without losing the torso articulation. |

I trimmed the bottom of it and scaled it according to your pic, but I did run into the problem of it looking too big still. I plan on just gluing it too, thinking about it I realized I won't really have any reason to take it off. Anyway I appreciate your time and expertise! |

Did you paint the buckles and side pieces on crush's vest to match ax and smash? I noticed in pics Mattel left them black (which sucks)

Glad to see I'm not the only one who swaps mic hands on to all of his figures. I've bought John Cena basics just for the extra left hands  |
