Thank you! I also tried Triple H thighs first. And yeah, they were too skinny for this torso. So I bought an extra Hogan cheap off of Ebay. And Hogan's thighs seem to be perfect. That Rusev looks great, but I must say I am really liking some of the poses on the shelves behind him. If there is any in particular you wanna see, let me know.

Simple fix. The skin-tone on the Boogeyman figure has bothered me since it was revealed last summer, so now that I finally got one I decided to do something about it. Added some detail to the staff as well....y'know...finishing the job Mattel should have done themselves. Other than that though, pretty underrated figure, considering all the new tooling, fantastic scan and one-time use accessories.

Yes, but it's the same torso (just used an extra Batista one I had kicking around).

All his figures are a darker complexion than he is, it's annoying.

I'm prepared to get laughed at, but would a dab of something like white out be a good quick fix or a terrible idea here? Just trying to use what I have around instead of going to lengths for a tiny (but necessary) fix. Ebay seller conveniently didn't show or mention this.

Clear nail polish may work. Dab it on and wipe it off.

So that's the only situation to try this in, correct? When you're wanting to get down to the cast color?

I once used a watered down bit of goo gone on Undertakers neck tattoos and erased them with little skin color removal, but it was very difficult. There was a rash of Benoit customs that came from old, red casted Sin Cara legs that needed a ton of paint removed several years ago, but they looked good.

outterside123I am almost certain the knee and elbow pad are painted. I would love to be proven wrong though.
