I'm a little leery of the acetone since it's going to be my first attempt. I'm gonna go with the clear coat probably tonight or tomorrow. Thanks for the advice guys!

I need a little bit of help. I recently swapped the heads from my CS wild Samoans onto 2 elite Umaga bodies and I'm unsure how to properly remove the tattoos and deco on the tights to get a proper look. Does anyone have any regular methods they use? I've never attempted a fix up before and really don't want to screw it up.

I really like the attire on Jake, and I'm glad King Booker has the gold trunks and isn't a straight re-release. Any elite Edge is a buy for me but this lineup got me thinking. I'm willing to bet there were better names attached for this like possibly Hogan and Dude Love. Contractual issues led Mattel to do what they've had to do in the past and change things on the fly.

Just yesterday I used 2 umaga bodies and put my Jakks CS wild Samoans heads on them. The heads are decently in scale now I just have to figure out a good way to remove the tattoos and umaga symbols from the legs without totally destroying the figures.

There's way better tag teams and wrestlers that deserve figures before these guys. Their most entertaining match was getting the snot beat out of them by the APA.

Watching the Edge and Christian show afterwards was the best part of watching the network tonight. What a disappointment fastlane.

Safe to say that Philly/NJ area is getting some good stock in this week so I would start trucking out to the area. I just found HOF3 at south philly Target. Took both Jimmy Harts and 1 Dibiase. No Savages. Left a dibiase but has paint marks on face... :/ Anyone finds a Savage, keep me posted! At the Walmart across the street they have 2 full cases of B56. I counted 2 Naomi's, 4 Warriors, 4 Woods, 4 Itamis Cenas Ambrose's. No Heenan Fam in South Philly but my buddy found them 2 days ago in Springfield. Do you know if there was any heenans left? I'm from the KOP area and we're pretty barren right now.

That skit was awesome! I really like that Sting figure after getting it in hand.

I've tried excel and word. Excel is better than word imo.

I've been experimenting with pic feds (nothing I feel remotely confident enough to post in the board). If I do have like a highlight style match just for fun I usually try to do it like an actual match (working punches and protecting the other worker etc.) so as to not mess the paint up on my figs.

He meant that they would spell the names right at least, I don't think he was dissing either Knobbs or Strowman. Well. I ed that up. WAY too early for me this morning. Now I gotta go edit lol Definitely wasn't dissing Knobbs!!! I thought the Nasty Boys were great back in the day.

If it was an official lineup I'm fairly positive WWE would be fully capitalized and at least the names would be completely spelled . Not garbage like Brian Knob and Braun Stro.

I open every figure I buy. There's just something about buying a toy and leaving it in the package that doesn't sit right with me. I collect mostly elites except for the figures that have only a basic or I think will only have a basic i.e. Tommy Dreamer, Hurricane etc. I have everything set up on shelves in my apt's spare bedroom.

I try to get one of at least each character. Elites first but in the case of guys like Trent and Hawkins the basics have to do.

I just got my grail fig the other day from the bay... RSC Punk (even though the seller stiffed me on the towel).
My biggest wants now are legends Hillbilly Jim, Rick Rude and Pillman.

I hope that eventually we will stop getting the Bryan painted faces. Also, Adam Rose's basic attire was so good I wish it was used for the elite as well or that the paint schemes were flipped.
