(1) I love how mrhoss insulted all of us and got away with it! (2) I was a strong proponent for Mattel's body choice for Sid, but after seeing mrhoss's HBJ fix-up I had to buy a HBJ on evilbay to get this done, you've played with my emotions again mrhoss! (3) I'm not planning to get E39 Macho Man, but if someone could take a pic of Sid with one of his ankles popped out and Macho saying "Oh Snap!" I would be forever greatful. What? Too soon?

I think Bulldog is fine. Brock's arms are to big for Davey boy. If anything I might go smaller to the Dolph arm, because even though they are smaller from the front they look thicker than the Triple H arms to me.

maybe it's the Hasbro-version of Bulldog that's influencing me, but I kinda wished they gave him LOD Animal's torso/arms, he would have looked thick, short and stocky like I remember him.

I'd agree if we're talking 95-98 Bulldog...but this is 91 bulldog he was almost as big as Warlord Look at bulldog next to shawn michaels, look at Austin next to shawn michaels... I think bulldogs pretty accurate myself , although I think iron sheiks torso would look great too I prefer Austin's torso for this figure, is it perfect? No , but I think it's the right choice myself, although it think iron sheiks torso might have worked a little better to get that girth on his chest The problem with Brock's torso is it would make him twice the size of guys like Bret, which he wasn't, warlord was twice the size of guys like Bret butt bulldog was in between, bigger but not overshadowing. In the l.o.d pic, you can see his torso is nearly the same size as hawks while animals is bigger. Also look at lex Luger and bulldog side by side. If I was still customizing and had lots of parts, I would use Junk yard dogs tights ace toned white , bulldogs boots, iron sheiks torso with either animals or bulldogs arms and the new bulldog head. I bet that would look sick. Bulldog had that meaty chest/stomach like sheiks torso mold. I think it would look better than Austin's torso for sure credit pj for pic Mr hoss, do you have an iron sheik that you can put the bulldog head on for another picture?

For me, it's close enough and I decided to leave it as is. @zombieapocalypse and hoganvspiper, I'll get some pics up later.

mrhoss - yeah I did no worries, I'm like you - as long as the shade is not exceptionally noticeable I can live with it. When he wears the his jacket it masks the different skin tones a bit. I'm sold that the HBJ body was the right way to go. I do want to make a singlet-horseman version, but wondering if an Undertaker torso will be too pale - plus the upper hips will have to be black which can be the top hips of LOD Animal or even Papa Shango. Expensive fix-up but might be worth it to have a horseman-esque Sid.

Damnit, why couldn't they have just given Sid some damn chest hair at least?!
I really like the look of the HBJ torso too, but oh well. The scan is growing on me, not bad.
Wish they could have somehow made Bulldog a bit more built and not as ripped, but it's a great figure regardless.

Thanks mrhoss - looks like maybe a slight shade difference in flesh between Sid and Orndorff, but I bet it's close enough in person to pass. Based on your pic, I may open my 2nd Sid and do a blue trunks Sid Justice. Only thing I'm not sure about is whether I can get away with the short knee pads and long boots? If not, may have to search for some long knee pads in blue.
Thanks again!

You could put those medium blue knee pads over black leg sleeves. Sid justice wore them like that quite a bit

I dismissed that thinking the medium pads wouldn't go over the leg sleeves. Do the medium pads have to be cut or just heated?

I've never done it myself but I've seen it done, I would think you could trim the plastic inside the knee pad , you know the piece that sticks out that makes it fit tight. Then heat both up and wiggle them together.
I think also the new bulldog with the old bulldog head would make a great wcw era bulldog
