Daniel F'n Bryan a nice attempt, but I would have used a Kerry head and maybe the upper arms/sleeves of Shane. Also maybe a decal for the lettering on the shirt, because the letters seem to get smaller as you painted them. Still looks good.

Not my finest work but wanted something quick to sell from extra parts. I used nwo hall body, extra sid arms, and It actually is a Kerry head. I removed the hair while ago for a Martel custom so it was a bald Kerry haha. I sculpted the hair. I’m not a fan of decals I believe in hand painting everything. I appreciate the feedback tho

Mixing Storm and Mattel parts for a few Hogan fix ups. Was it easy to swap the kneepads from the Yellow Hogan to the Red Hogan? The Yellow kneepads are horrid and when mine come i want to swap them Boots pop off similar to mattel. Just heated them up with a hair dryer and they came off with minimal effort. Pads slid off and on easily. Gave the boot holes a little more heat and snapped them back on.

I didn't even know the boots could come off, definitely going to swap them onto the Yellow Hogan with red kneepads then just put all the red stuff on it.

Does anyone know of way to remove logos from the cloth shirts? Local walmart has the Summerslam elites for $10 and thought about getting a few Matt Hardy figs to use the shirts if I can remove the logos.

What's the best thing to use to cleanly remove logos from attires? I found nail polish remover at home but it was non acetone, it took the logos off but ended up leaving off putting stains on the attire, like a lighter black almost grey colour.
So what does everyone else use to get the perfect removal of logos while keeping the attire clean? (I'm AUS so anyone from here please let me know what you use and where to get)
This will be my first custom/fixup with logos so i suck haha.

Put a little bit on a cotton bud and then wipe the bit you want to remove. Takes a bit of time but with patience it'll work mate.

Take note that there have been claims of it causing issues with other figures when a figure which has had acetone used on it is stored with those other figures.

Never use 100% acetone on the hard plastic (crotches, chest pieces) of a mattel figure. All you're asking for is to ruin it. Clear fingernail polish is the way to go for hard plastic. Brush on, wipe off.

I found Zombie Charlotte at Wal-Mart last night and I really wanted the attire on a "living" version. This was my first time painting a skintone, so I know it's not perfect. Any helpful feedback is welcome and appreciated.

Yeah I've been on the forum for about 15 years, I'm just a very light poster. A lurker I guess.
