Thank you guys for the help. I just don't know about cracking torsos. It has never been my thing. Tried it a handful of time and never ever had success. If i do something, it would be leg swapping. I can do that. FWIW, those were among the first torsos I ever cracked and they were pretty easy. I've since tried others (older figures) that were harder andi think newer figures are generally easier.

Quick question, I have seen people do the Hall in nWo red shirt and the Nash in the nWo white shirt. Is it as simple as switching the legs??? You can swap the legs, but they don’t match up perfectly, and it changes their heights a bit,if I recall correctly. I tried the leg swap, and decided to do a torso crack for the end product.

I can do that. I agree the newer ones are easier, I once separated a shield seth rollins just by putting him in boiling water, it literally came apart in the bowl

Just got this in the mail from Axehennig and im really pleased with the results. This was a collaboration of efforts between axe and I and it was a lot of fun to do. I sculpted the boots and hair and created the loin cloth out of plastic, it was axes idea to use a warlord which is perfect for barbarian imo and he painted it . Just added to my display. Thanks again for the help axe, you do stellar work OUTSTANDING!

Looks great! Any specific glue you recommend? Any advice on how to cut the tassels off of Nash (to not lose too much plastic and if below or above a certain part is not needed)?

I use krazy glue
I cut the tassles off with an exacto knife then dremmeled them thin from the inside. I put the trunks tassels on the trunks. The hip tassels on the hip. Thigh on thigh etc. I glued them down so the peg hole on thr tassels matched the peg joint on machos tights to make it look natural.

Has anyone made an Undisputed Hulk Hogan using the Wrestlemania Elite Brutus figure. If so I’d love to see pics and maybe get the recipe for it thanks.

My attempt at a very simple custom Jinder and Singh brother just with some parts swaps and black tape (knee pads).
I did pretty much the same thing. Whose arms did you use?

I did pretty much the same thing. Whose arms did you use? I took the arms off of the first Roman Reigns elite so there were no tattoos. Then I just used black electrical tape for the wrist tape. I didn't like the arms that were on The Rock figure just because I didn't feel like they were muscular enough for Jinder and I didn't want to remove the tat just in case I ever needed another Rock arm with the tattoo.

Nothing original, but my B85 Roode figures arrived today so I swapped heads with the extra and my extra NXT Elite Roode figure.

Can anyone suggest shoulder balls for Rhyno? I want to keep his arms since it has all the tats. Just want the shoulder balls to be more realistic. Pics would be nice too.

He seems to be your best bet. I'm sure there are pics in this thread but I wouldn't begin to know where to look. Also, with your avatar I feel obligated to drop a ROLL TIDE on you.

Not sure if anyone has done this but I really like it. Picked up the Retro Seth from TRU for like $8. Didn’t like how short the hair is on the NXT sculpt and they used it on this and the SS elite. Now that I’ve done it I think I want to pick up another to swap when I get the SS17 elite eventually.

Some easy swaps and a Bundy WIP Im toying with. Shout out goes to @zombieapocalypse & theaxehennig for helping me out with the torso swaps & decals. Looking great! What's the recipe for that Bundy? INSANE Barbarian, Apocalypse!
