I've got a quick question, whose body can I use to to make an all white American Made Hulk Hogan? It's my favorite attire and the RSC Exclusive is ALMOST there. Thanks in advance.

If you can do the parts swaps the easiest would be an Elite Hogan torso & lower legs on Beefcake crotch and just remove the zebra print. Hulk and Beefcake are the only 2 figures that use that special crotch piece (high waisted).

Except you shouldn't have to change the torso. Just remove the paint on the trunks, swap arms, head and legs. Use Narcissist kneepads.

I havent compared them yet but I was thinking either the upper or lower or something was different on one of them. It could have just been the proto pic though.

Would the zebra print come off with some goof off? Thanks to both of you for the response.

Ive heard people use all kinds of things to remove paint but Ive never found anything that worked on hard plastic without leaving a residue other then clear nail polish. You literally brush it on until the paint starts to smudge and the take a wet cloth and wipe it off. You have to do it a couple times but it comes right off and there's no residue behind.

I do like the leaner thighs, but those boots don't look like cowboy boots at all. Also what arms did you give him? From the angle they are at they look like the Triple H upper arm with Magnum's forearms which would be to big. I am guessing this is the photo you were referring to? But while they didn't have the v cut top of a cowboy boot they still had the straps on the sides that cowboy boots have.

Those arms are Cody or dolph arms with ya the magnum lowers Good call on the boot straps. I can live without the straps for awhile. I'll take anything over the huge boots and insane thunder thighs matched with the thin arms.

I think the tweaks to magnum look pretty good but the orignal boots in addition to the head were the best details on the release. That said, later in 86 he started wearing different boots. White boots with red dots/marks on them.
But the slimmer legs do look more accurate.

I, too, could live without the cowboy boot straps. Mine is very similar, except I used Barry Windham's boots on Tully's body. What legs did you use?

The whole body is Hall of fame tully with hall of fame Arn lower legs to give him the height. I thought about the Barry boots but decided against because it reminded me of the Barry figure and how much I hated the headsulpt
