Best Torso Choice for Triple H AE

Did you post this before? I remember seeing a list like this in another thread but couldn't remember where I saw it.

Well, after finding some time, I decided to take apart the figures I did have in hand to mix parts around and get ideas. Decided to post here as well for more input and inspiration for others.



The main focus is on the combination of upper bodies and heads. The DM body with R3 head is pretty much complete minus the needed painting and left taped knee. He is also going to be getting modified large kneepads.



Spare DM Austin from an eBay lot for a custom of his 2000's look, particularly when he would cut promos. Torso is Austin's which is the bulldog style torso people have mentioned, so I just swapped Austin's arms with spares from a Triple H for reference.



Basic 10 Triple H head on an elite 23 Randy Savage torso. Unfortunately, it gives him no-neck syndrome. Would be a WIP for the silver hHh. I'd also switch arms for Triple H arms as they are the same mold. Otherwise, the Ziggler recommendation with Triple H hands.

The other customs I have planned are basically ideas that have already been done, such as the Havoc Unleashed head on DM Triple H and 2002 return with molded jeans.

So, what do you think and what other suggestions can be made? Whichever torso looks best would be used for both WIPS. I appreciate all of the responses thus far.

P.s. Are there any open cut elbow pads that would fit a Mattel figure (maybe Toybiz TNA?) or is modifying the Mattel elbow pads with an exacto knife the only way?

Noted.

After looking at more parts I had lying around, I really wish Mattel would have made a modified version of the Kozlov/ Kane torso mold with regular waist size. Could look decent for his evolution run. Slightly more mass, less cut.
