The day has finally come!!! One of the top ten tag teams of all-time!! So I got my two Dynamite Kids in the mail when I got home from the beach yesterday. . . . so I drove them over to gatecity's house (how lucky am I to live in the same city as one of the best customizers on this board. . literally 15 minutes away) and had him fix up the Bulldogs. .. . he sends me pics of the finished product and something becomes painfully obvious to me. . . .. Dynamite has a huge balloon head compared to Davey from CS7. . . . and being the freak that I am about scale I made Gate try 50 different torso's for Dynamite in order to pick the one that would make him a bit shorter than Davey. . . . and we found out that none really work. . . Here are two pics. . I've decided to stick with pic # 1. These are not phsically in my possesion yet, but I am driving over to pick them up this evening.   |

You got him to try out 50 different torsos? I dont think jakks even have 50.  I hope you at least paid him for his time? Regardless, they look pretty cool. I Believe they are set for a CSTT together as well? Nice stuff. |

Okay then, common sense isn't yours as you should know there aren't 50 different torso's to choose from. |

Okay then, common sense isn't yours as you should know there aren't 50 different torso's to choose from. I'm not going to argue with you over this. Its silly. I assumed that when you said you got him to try 50 different torso's, you meant he actually used 50 different torsos (you didn't indicate sarcasm with a smiley, a "lol" or anything else). I am not very familiar with GCS's work, so i didn't know if he had his own custom torso's that he tried out or what way you meant it. I assumed he had a ton of old torso's lying around (either Jakks or his own custom ones) that he used. |

Why don't you change the legs on Davey Boy to make him taller? The torsos don't affect the height much (if at all) but you have the short thighs and the short lower legs on both figures. If you put HW thighs and tongueless boots on Davey Boy he will be taller and will also look a better shape for him. Then you should keep the torso Dynamite came with I reckon because it makes the head look a better size, CW arms are a better combination though IMO. The CSDA Davey Boy head would also be an improvement as it's a superb scan wheras the CS7 one is a bit weird looking and not quite the same style as the Dynamite one in terms of detail and realism, it looks a bit cartoony. Apart from all that though they look great LOL, big props for posting the first pics of a propr Bulldogs CS tag team, I can't wait to have them in my collection, yours do look good but if scale bothers you (like it does me) then just change Davey Boy's legs.

I'll keep this in mind. . . . sounds like a good idea, but I've put Gate through enough for one day. |

Excellent customs. I prefer Dynamite with the ripped CW torso, but since you like accurately scaled figures that's fair enough to go with a CW torso |

I wish I had the skills to swap torso. I tried a couple of times, but I always crack to torsos.
Thanks for posting these pics.
Bought two Dynamite Kids as well. Will give Dynamite shorter arms and DaveyBoy the CSDA head.

Nice. Although I like the torso they gave to Dynamite. Except for giving him the smaller RA arms I left my Dynamite parts as is. With Davey Boy I'm using the Brock torso and the mid high tongue-less boots for the added height.

They look good, hopefully Gate was paid well for having to change out parts so many times.
