@nwf you can get decal paper for your printer I believe. Then it is just finding the images, and sizing them to your needs, and printing them out. I have never gone this route, as it is really quick and easy to order from CurbStompCity Decals on his webpage. He has most anything you’d need, and if not just send him a message and he will sort you out.

It’s the little things. Just swapped out Jeff’s kicks for some all blacks. I like it better this way.

Hello all. Don't believe I've ever commented on this thread but I do enjoy seeing everyone's work from time to time. Staring to get the itch to jump into making some simple customs. Just a quick question for anyone who can help: how compatible are Mattel's Tough Talker figures to their regular lines? Say if I wanted to put a Basic torso on a pair of TT legs.
Thanks in advance.

Personally, i think this head looks a lot better on the shop exclusive Matt, improves the figure even more.

The older figures either have a stronger glue, or have become stronger with time.

Quick paint mod of the network Sting head to give me a decent enough version to go with Cactus and others. Looks better than decent to me! Nice 92 Sting.

Jakks definitely made the better Matt Hardy headscan. Especially the ponytailed version.

Been trying to make this head to work for a Sid custom for awhile. Also finished these after the encouragement from some of you. And I’m glad I did. The blue looks a little darker in the pictures and I may change the belts, but that’s all I had to make them with at the time. Couldn’t resist doing this picture This have been in progress for a long time. I had made a set of Jakks Rockers in this attire. A few years later someone from here came to me wanting to know if I would make them a set of Mattel Rockers just like I had made my Jakks versions. I don’t normally do commissions but decided to give these a shot. After finishing them, I really wanted to make a set for me, but was a bit burned out on working on them because they took a while to complete. I ended starting my set by picking up a couple of Network Spotlight HBKs and taking the designs off the tights, then I worked on this off and on. When WWE . com did the Defining Moments poll that had the Rockers HBK in it, I quit working on them because I didn’t wanna put the work into them and then Mattel release them right after. Eventually started working on them again...and heard rumors of them releasing the Shawn as a GameStop Exclusive and then we saw the Retrofest figures. Not sure why I felt necessary to share all of that, but anyways, here’s a couple of work in progress pictures and a picture of my original Jakks Rockers ( which are up for grabs now that my Mattels are finished)
