I was not a fan of putting the knee pads on the UE 21 Cody. So I removed them and painted the knee. It’s certainly not perfect, but with my poor eyesight and the brushes I have to work with it’s the best I can do for now. Eventually I will probably buy more fine detailing brushes and may retry the logo. But I am happy with how this turned out as it is.

Can someone explain how decals work? Are they just stickers you guys put on or is there more of a process. I would imagine if its stickers then they would wear over time no?

You have to apply water to the area of the figure and then get the decal wet and peel it off its paper and slowly apply it to the area of the figure. Try to not crease the decal as well. Once it drys, apply a coat of matte seal and you’re good to go.

Elite Necro Butcher. Loosely based him off his 11/6/2005 bloodbath with Samoa Joe from IWA:MS. The jean colour isn’t entirely accurate but it seemed pointless painting jeans that were already jean colour and Necro wore an array of different colour denims throughout his career anyway. It’s a boneyard AJ body with different hands, and a Jakks highlander head with sculpted hair. The height is a little off but im not that bothered. And I finally got blue paint so I went ahead and filled in the designs on Chris Masters' tights, really like how this figure turned out. I also swapped his lower legs to fix the boot not fitting on the elite HHH lower leg issue so he has basic knees now but again, Im not that bothered.

Hoping someone can help. Would the new Terry Gordy figure have the same skintone as bald HHH elites?

I assume a diesel head on the fake diesel’s body won’t be an issue?

I wanted to share a simple hack to help with Women figure scale. Tiffany Stratton, Basic Bayley old figures and the Bianca Belair all scale very short compared to other female figures. This bothered me a lot because I like to have my whole roster together on my shelf. I realized that they all use the AJ Lee boot mold for some reason and if you switch it with Summerslam Basic Bayley Boots or the new Charlotte/Becky boots it fixes the scale issue. On the flip side, switch the AJ boots to Natalya's basic and she will not be as tall as Charlotte!

Survivor Series Bret hair swapped onto the stoic head from his first ultimate edition.

Oh crap, I didn’t even think about doing that. That looks fantastic. Great job. I still have to paint all the trim on my Bret hart elbow pads but I’ve been super lazy as of late when I’m home.

I bought a Karrion Kross elite to use the jacket for Sting, took the boots off him put them on The Godfather to fix the height. Just pretend Mark Henry has a closed first as I’ve lost the hands.

Does anyone know if the BAF MNW Luger torso is the same torso as the British Bulldog ‘99 BAF?

I snagged a UE MNW Piper for a friend who already found one, and I’m thinking of using it for parts instead of returning it, because I can seriously get some use out of that leather jacket (most likely Magnum TA).
I can’t quite decide who I want to make next, though. What golden age legends have you seen that work well with the Piper torso?
I was leaning a little toward Bob Backlund, but I think Mr. Backlund in his bowtie and suspenders is a higher priority.

That Hogan looks great! I was wondering if his elite arms and legs would fit that body. Guess I have to grab a few now haha.

Just giving you a guys a heads up. I swapped the Summerslam kane arms onto the vault series 1 Kane and it does not look good. The skin tones are a match but it appears that the SS Kane arms are a new mold and the bicep piece is extremely long and noticeable without the elbow pads. I’m going to try the throwing a pair of Lesnar arms on if the skin tones match.
