Does anyone know why the Network Vince has that gold mark on his backside?

TheXtremisT that's the type of work what takes a mediocre figure to superb! Well done. Boy WonderThank you everyone! It was crying out for it. I mean they could have had him with a singlet like Ryback figures. Does anyone know why the Network Vince has that gold mark on his backside? Well it's cos the actual pants he wore were more jean like, and that gold patch is meant to be the leather patch that those style pants have. So they give us the wrong mold but decided to put that on anyway

WCW Jericho made in his iconic half/half tights! Not sure if you can see well but to make this a little different I dry brushed some pink, blue and yellow in the silver to simulate the reflective prism effect he had on the tights. Shows up better in hand lol. Made for member f4663I'm @txtcustoms on instagram if you'd like to see more of my work!

Could anyone answer this for me? Do the skintones on the elite 38 and new DM Macho match up? I'm thinking about purchasing one in the future for a headswap.

Just my Hogan collection (I know I'm missing the Ringside Exclusive blue tights Hogan). Posting here since some of these likely fall under 'fix up' with the parts swaps.

Made a rookie mistake today. Swapped the arms on my Elite 50 Rhyno, and the torso wouldn't go back together correctly. Had to boil the head to get the neck peg out so I could glue the torso together with just the peg, and then pop the head on after. Problem is, I went to do something else and forgot about my Rhyno head in a pot of boiling water that eventually boiled down to nothing.

Gore looks like Sid from Toy Story had gotten ahold of him lol. Sucks that happened though man. Hopefully you find a new Rhyno.

Dear all that is holy TheXtremisT that Jericho made me audibly shout with joy. That is everything I hope to create when I grow up but I have a long way to go - lol.
You have a new follower on the gram btw. Thanks for sharing.

Sorry Gore I know the feeling.
One of my New Years resolutions was to start in on the "fix-up" & customization game and in my learning I have ruined a few figures as well.
Every time it happens it hurts but I keep telling myself the old adage "if you want to make omelets, you have to be willing to break a few eggs".
Good luck.

Microwave a coffee cup of water for 1 min and that'll work for head,arms,boots etc..

I've never boiled. 45-60 seconds under hot tap water running from the sink is as hot as I've ever needed for anything I've ever done.

I've used boiling water for the last 15 years and it has worked for me all but one other time when I charred an RA Test. It wasn't the method that was the issue, just that I walked away.

You have a new follower on the gram btw. Thanks for sharing. Thank you very much! I appreciate it. Just don't rush into it and expect to get there quickly. I used to worry and fret about my work, and just didn't like it for the longest time. A few years or perseverance later I'm very happy with it. I learned on the go and from others. It's a hobby because it's fun to do!......sometimes I've never boiled. 45-60 seconds under hot tap water running from the sink is as hot as I've ever needed for anything I've ever done. Second this. Simplest way imo. Don't understand the whole microwave, boil and blowdrier methods Probably because it's a massive waste of water especially if you have many jobs to do at the time. And sometimes parts need to be much hotter if they're not becoming soft enough especially if you need to crack the torsos.
