So i just spent 2 days and finally found chris hero. I took his stupid shirt off immediately to reveal a skintone color painted sgt slaughter torso?!? Why not just use the honky, volkoff, duggan torso. It's the same torso without the singlet that sits on the same crotch piece. Wow.
Can someone link me to the torso swapping deal. Ive done it once before with those way too big stings, looks like here r i go again...

This is honest to goodness my favorite action figure "controversy" of 2019.

Wow you spent two days searching for it? That must be a world record.
A messed up Titan Tron Live Edge was my Chris Hero stand-in for 15 years. Maybe one day, he'll get a proper release.

How is this not a proper release? Because the plastic underneath an accessory that was never meant to be removed doesn't suit the expectations of collectors who purchase figures specifically to alter them beyond intent? WF really is the gift that keeps on giving. |

Thanks for the idiotic sarcasm. Any more unnecessary comments today internet? You better get crackin' on those torsos. Do you even microwave? Or own a flathead screwdriver? |

I don't get any pleasure out of "the hunt" so I'm not going to bother driving to every Target in the nation. |

So i just spent 2 days and finally found chris hero. False. You found a Kassius Ohno figure. And it wasn’t a 2-in-1 figure of Kassius Ohno wrestling and Kassius Ohno at bathtime. He wrestles in a shirt. |

Maybe it was originally planned to have the jersey painted on, but it was decided the added plastic was much better aesthetically (which it is) and felt there'd be no issue with leaving the original torso mold intact underneath.

the 1st DM Undertaker has this also. But he didn’t just have a cloth shirt on either

But the shirt wasn’t designed to be removed so it doesn’t matter which torso they used. This was a whole discussion here last week. But as for your question about torso swapping it should be on the first page of the Fixup thread.

I dont see it different than any other rubber shirt. He even wrestled as ohno in nxt without it. The man himself just wrote me back and said dammit. Steve suggested a torso swap and said he didnt know himself why bill would choose that

Now we're pretending to not know the difference between rubber shirts designed to be removed and rubber shirts designed to stay in place.
Wewie.

All I am saying is why is Dolph Ziggler not coming with Spirit squad gear.

It only would have been better if bill hand painted "suck it" across the skin tone singlet

Does my Kevin Owens Elite have a painted singlet underneath his shirt? I know the shirt isn't meant to be removed but there's evidence that Kevin Owens wears a singlet underneath his gear so if this critical detail is missing from my Mattle WWE Elite Collection Kevin Owens action figure by Mattle then Perspiring William and I are going to have W O R D S.
