I picked up an Elite 46 Rusev today. You can already guess as to what the problem is...I don't really particularly want to use acetone because I store all my figures in plastic box drawers and it does seem to affect other figures if it's not neutralised. Lemon? Vinegar? Anything besides acetone please. Are you saying that using acetone or something with acetone in it is still active even after rinsing it off of the figure?

Awesome thank you. Sid just doesn't look right with the mat black boots. I hope they go glossy for WCW Elite Goldbergs boots when released too. Ive got one of the first released Kanes and Debut Kane, both not glossy lol! Yeah I'm not even sure the hardcore Kane did. And I don't think elite 19 did either. I think 22 and possibly the e47 one did The Wrestlemania Elite did.

Some simple stuff, nothing spectacular. LUKE HARPER Battle Pack 47 Basic to Elite Conversion. ![](https://image.ibb.co/btFJtk/image.jpg) ![](https://image.ibb.co/dXSgDk/image.jpg) TNF SETH ROLLINS Head swap as I hate the new scan. ![](https://image.ibb.co/jDZpzQ/image.jpg) NETWORK DEAN AMBROSE Head swap to Battle Pack one. ![](https://image.ibb.co/kFk7m5/image.jpg) SCOTT HALL Swapped the E51 Hall arms to larger ones and swapped the RSC Head to an E51. ![](https://image.ibb.co/jNyzzQ/image.jpg) PAIGE WRESTLEMANIA 31 ![](https://image.ibb.co/mFr8tk/image.jpg) This was the second custom I ever made. I've gone back and added the gloved hands and fishnet legs from the basic Paige figures.

I like that Network Dean fixup! I wish they wouldn't use those skinny a$$ legs for guys like Seth, AJ, and others! I did want the TNF Seth until I saw the legs. Now I'm on the fence about it! 😂 😳😩

Seth is like 6'1" but his figs hardly even stand as tall as 5'8" Daniel Bryan without being fixed.

If stored in container drawers, boxes etc. there's a possibility. Happened to my RSC Exclusive Kane a few years ago.

Has anyone swapped a Basic DDP screaming head onto an Elite body? Do the skin tones match?

At the request of a BUNCH of members and moderators, I have decided to move this back to the Mattel board.

Thanks bad guy™. Sorry again guys for how I handled things. The guides on the first page will be coming down soon, but if you would like to contribute any of your own please do post them.

The sad reality of it though is that Customs are ultimately, a niche. It's the same reason the creative writing boards on here like WFWF suffer. You have to have people interested in doing them in order to drive traffic at all. At least with the writing you can hit up other members and potentially pique their interest. With Customs, you can't go up to a member and ask "Hey, want to change how your figure looks then post it on the board?" But taking your idea into account, if anyone else has any I'm all ears for saving a board.
