I was wondering if anyone who received their Finn Balor basic 57 figure would be kind enough to do two things:
1. Post some pics.
2. Put the Balor head on an elite body.
Been dying to get mine. Plan to put it on a Cody Rhodes elite with CM Punk calves.
Thanks, guys (and ladies)! Apologies if this belongs somewhere else.

ckhybrid has some really good pictures in his thread "Fun with Finn". Hopefully the neck pef won't be too long or too short for your fixup! That's usually the only problem I run into when trying to do a swap.

I'm expecting mine either tomorrow or Monday. I have a custom elite body ready to go for him.

Was hoping this would be a thread with pics of his basic. Haha.

I had been trying to figure out who would be good for a quick fix up. Hopefully the skin tones match, I'm going to try this also! |

It's a Cody Rhodes body (can't remember the series... the most recent one with the black trunks with red trim.). Skin should match and its a more cut look than the Daniel Bryan torso. Put Goldust arms on it since there are fabric wrinkles that look more realistic. Added the lower CM Punk legs/kickpads from his most recent elite. So it'll be the new Balor Club look. Can't wait to try it. |

I was actually thinking Wade's torso for Finn Balor, wouldn't that look okay?   |

The Barrett torso looks pretty good definition-wise, but it's probably to long/tall for Balor.

In regards to the Wade Barrett torso, believe Gore hit the nail on the head. Also, Finn has some definition in this thighs while the Barrett thighs don't.
But in the end, that's the nice thing about customizing. It's all about what you think looks best and not what we think.
Would love to see everyone's customs!

I don't see the point in customizing this figure into an Elite when you know an Elite is coming eventually.
Eh.

Im gonna use e32 Cody Rhodes goof off the design on the trunks & pop the head and arms off the basic and swap it out from the knee down since I don't care about loosing the double knee joint

AND the elite Balor is gonna be in body paint so it might be awhile before we get a non body paint elite balor |

Looking forward to this figure. I am confident I won't be passing the first 5 or 6 FBs!!!
Can't wait for the elite.

This is what I've be doing. When the elite is released, I will buy two. One to keep the way it is with the body paint, and one to customize into a paint-less version. To custom rice the second one, in going to acetone off his paint details and then put the basic's head on.
