Here are my Bálor fix ups. One uses the Cody Rhodes body and the other uses Daniel Bryan (WIP) which I'm choosing a more updated look. I actually prefer the Daniel Bryan as I think it suits him much better and matches his E41. Thanks for looking!

Im more of a "part switch" customizer, but I'm looking to convert B57 Finn Balor into an Elite using an E32 Cody Rhodes body. Im not really having any luck with nail polish remover, and am hesitant to use acetone (but willing if I need to.) I've seen where some folks have mentioned using clear nail polish to remove logos, etc. Can anyone share any pointers on that method? I don't seem to be getting anywhere with it either. I can help you out with your Balor conversion - PM me

I get what you're saying but it's really hard to collect that way for current wrestlers, and a few legends as well. My "end all" was a great British Bulldog since he was one of my favorites growing up. Even though I love the E39, my "end all" would be his SummerSlam 1992 attire as his match with Bret Hart is in my Top 5 of all time. However, I couldn't "risk" Mattel not making that attire so I grabbed the E39 for my collection. I think the biggest problem with waiting for a "definitive" version of a figure is the very real possibility that it'll never get made and the potential of missing out on a great figure becomes the reality.

I just recently got back into collecting and started with the TRU Seth Rollins, which I had to get off eBay and spent about $40 with shipping. That's the highest I've paid so far, but I don't think I'd got more than that. There are figures that I missed out on but am holding out hope that we'll see re-releases in some form (i.e., Diesel, old school Kane, etc.). With only a few months in, I've found that I'm only collecting ones I really want. I've only picked up British Bulldog E39, DM Razor Ramon & Sting, and HOF Stone Cold. I've decided that this time around for my collecting I'm not gonna break the bank or bend over backwards to try and pick up figures. I say do what works best for you. We have different ways we go about collecting and since you're sober now, congrats by the way, then you've simply replaced one addiction for another, the latter being a lot healthier and safer

Last week was really bad in the Orlando/Kissimmee area for repacks. I went to 2 Walmarts and 2 Targets within 16 miles of each other and found nearly four repacks at each store plus accessories removed from others. Over $400 worth of product was taken and/or replaced with crap. I notified the managers at each store and gave them a small wrestling figure history lesson. It just really pisses me off because I've been hunting for an E39 Bulldog forever and when I finally found one, the side of the box had been ripped open to try and remove the cape. I am gonna find out who's doing this in my area and take him down. When the encounter occurs I'll make sure to have a camera running.
