Picked up these figures today to attempt my first custom, Hollywood Hogan. UPDATED: This is what I have done so far. This is my first time making a custom. I'm not finished yet, but I'm pleased with the results so far.

Nice. I'm going to get some JAKKS ones to satisfy me for now. I'm looking for them now, make sure to check my trades list later. I'll be trading Elites and he's on the list.
Just a shameless plug.
I'll be picking up another E34 for a BFG 11 attire soon.

So far I took HOF Hogan head and put it on Battle Pack Animal's Body. I took the accessories from Elite 34 Hogan and HOF Hogan. I've never attempted a custom before, so any suggestions are welcome. This is what I've done so far.

Seems like a whole lot of work for a basic, esp when you bought 2 elites. Youre gonna have to paint the glasses/boa/bandana anyway so i would suggest just painting the tights black on the HOF Hogan like most others are doing. Then you could Paint the bandana on E34, and add a black shirt from another figure to E34 and paint nWo on that and get yourself a street gear Hollywood as well.

I'm just going to hang tight and wait this situation out. with time, what hogan said will be forgiven and we will get those Hollywood hogans. just won't be until 2019 or so.

I really dislike the HOF Hogan body. It's so thin and those boots are awful. I really don't like the E34 scan for Hollywood. He looks puzzled.

I thought about DM hogan, but I don't wanna paint too much. I've never done it before. The battle pack is cheaper than DM hogan. With the animal body I get the thicker body I want, black pants and boots and I can sell off the battle pack stuff I don't use.

I was on board until you said it would be a basic I'm new very new to Mattel. Why all the LOD body hate because it's basic? I'm gonna have a shirt on him and he's only going to be displayed. Is there that much difference?

[source="/post/7271229/thread" Lol do your thing man. Just a little lighthearted fun [/quote] Not mad. Serious question. I know a lot of you guys play with them and pose them and stuff like that. Just was wondering if there was something else besides the articulation that was different. I just put them on my shelf and that's it. Thanks for the feedback everybody. Dreading this paint. Any particulate paint that use guys use??
