Since I don't think we're ever getting one, has anyone tried popping the Jakks Freddie Blassie head on a Laurinitis BAF body? Was it freakishly huge?
Blassie always did have a pretty big noggin. I'm hoping that will mitigate the Jakksness some.

Cause the good news is that Blassie's cloth jacket would cover the torso and arms completely, the only thing we really need are the red pant legs. And yes, he was noticeably shorter than Shieky and Nikolai, 6.5" would be Jakks Heenan gigantic.

Got my Flashback figures from Bandalero today...thanks bud. Had this in mind since I saw the Alundra. The belt looked incomplete. Here is the original design: I decided this would be the perfect way to try my hand at vinyl decals. Simple enough designs to work with that would let me determine how difficult it would be to do more complicated stuff. Very happy with how this turned out: I have these available for sale. Two sets of side-plate decals for $8 shipped. Simply peel and stick. Full disclosure, the small size doesn't make this the easiest job in the world, but it's doable. If anyone is interested, please PM me.

Probably already covered, but I haven’t seen it. Can you still swap over the newer hidden joint style arms at the bicep?

Is there any other elite that uses the King Kong Bundy arms?

My work in progress Adam Cole. Used Elite 3 Ted Dibiase and added some black wrist tape. Cut an elbow pad into an Undisputed Era armband and added an elbow pad. Used a universal championship with a big eagle main plate to be my North American Championship until Mattel releases one. Added a legacy shirt which looks close to the UE shirt until I can find someone who makes UE shirts. Also trying to source a John Morrison bearded head. I've used Razor as a head for the time being.

What is the best base figure for a B48 Flair elite conversion? The yet to be released Red Rooster figure might be your best bet. Otherwise, you could piece together: - Elite 55 Big Cass torso - 4H Ric Flair legs - George Steele boots

My first time painting shrunken heads. Haku is an Iron Sheik with some Jakks UFC feet. I may try some Rusev feet. Some cleanup left to do on the Rick Martels. I don't know if I'm going to keep the blue Martel trunks painted so high, just wanted to see what it'd look like. It's using basic Jim Duggan hair. Had some boxing gear left over from a NECA clubber lang I used the head of. WM 2 piper isn't accurate, no WWE logo on the shorts and the boots don't match. The long haired piper is a WIP. I'm thinking about using it as a '91 era piper, when he was hobbling around on crutches and hanging around Virgil.

Theboss why not just wait for these? Aside from KORs face they’re about perfect.

Otherwise, you could piece together: - Elite 55 Big Cass torso - 4H Ric Flair legs - George Steele boots The B48 was an Old School Flair right? What about the Legends Series 1 Funk? Just put the head and lower legs on the Funk figure’s. That torso is better for Flair anyway.

Try the Retro Brock head can you just heat and pop retro heads like you can with basics and elites? Yeah I did the head swap in that picture and it was as easy as any other swap.

Just wondered if there were any new figures I could use as a base since then.
