Finally decided to try my hand at a torso swap. I can't paint so no wrist tape for Mankind, but I think this works for a Hell in a Cell look. Looks great! I think the other mankind head would look good on that body too. How did you manage to do that? Especially with that rubber top.

Does anyone have any custom Elite Johnny Nitro and Joey Mercury figures? Looking for some inspiration when I make mine. Gonna get another Elite 4 JoMo to turn into Mercury by using the Mattel head with Jakks hair or something along those lines. If someone's done that please post pics!

I removed the head and lower arms. Then kept dipping it in water until the glue melted off the seam of shirt. After that it was a matter of pulling it off and going to work on the torso.

Working on a Wrestlemania 23 Undertaker, any ideas on which boots (kick-pad style) I could use? Thanks in advance...

Undertaker wore kickpads that were as big as his normal tall boots and the kickpads NXT Seth and e53 Owens have are smaller than the ones that used for HBK, Punk, Kofi, etc. Best option would be to dremel or sand down the laces on a pair of regular Undertaker boots or sculpt some putty kickpads over the laces. @zombieapocalypse did it but the pics are photobucket so I cant post them

Couple of things Quick simple Steve Blackman, same recipe as others have done: Sid upper, HBK lower. Only real work was painting the red and fitting the Jakks ttl head on. Even though the pics don't show this, the head matches the body skin colour in person. And another Jeff Hardy for a client on instagram, he wanted a Jeff based on the Raw after the 2003 Royal Rumble vs RVD. Dean Ambrose body with Mattel proto Jeff head and I completely resculpted the hair and then a usual paint job all over but the torso. More pics of my work on instagram: @txtcustoms Thanks!

Just got my E51 Styles today and added kneepads to it and made an updated vest. Took way longer than I expected. Hood looks big in the pic but its perfect.

Does anyone know if the new Elite Rock's thighs will fit on Papa Shango's hips? Or are they too small?

Picked this up today from my local wrestling shop, added the TNA homicides bandana, knee pads and the NWA title.

Had an extra Macho King and BATB Savage so I decided to swap heads. The BATB face paint matches the Macho King attire perfectly. I like how it looks even if it's not anything that existed in real life.

What is a good paint color that matches the skin tone of a Ryback or Dean Ambrose?
Has anyone tried to headswap Basic 76 AJ Styles as well? I was curious if it had the long neck issue as it did with Elite 51.

Work in progress Mr. T. Still have to paint knee pads, and the addidas stripes on the pants. Boots need some touch ups on the laces and the addidas stripes. Pleased with the scale next to Hogan.
