Also switching the ko torso to a neidhart torso will accomplish the same thing as switching the boots for those more advanced customizers. http://instagram.com/p/C6OftM8Lv2X I feel like that also looks inherently more accurate as well. KO wears a singlet under his t-shirt (probably the same singlets he wore in the early days of his career), and part of his shoulders are visible. The torso that comes on the UE is basically entirely black except for the neck area, and it looks rather odd. I do have to ask though, does the George Steele torso fix his height at all? I thought about using that torso (using acetone to remove all the body hair) for my UE KO fix-up.

Just got my Ultimate KO and Zayn this past Thursday. While I still really like the figures because of the new heads, the moment the figures represent, and just because it’s figures of KO and Zayn, they aren’t without their flaws. Outside of the height issue (Zayn looks giant next to Owens, even though irl Zayn is only an inch taller than Owens), and the missing logos they obviously couldn’t include due to copyright, the KO figure also has the dreaded PAINTED SKIN TONE on all of his hands, as opposed to previous figures of his where the hands were molded in skin color. I also noticed they didn’t paint the inside of the mouth for the open mouth smile heads for both Zayn and KO. They only painted their teeth… What copyrighted logos? The Super Dragon emblem on his right leg (should be next to the KO logo), and the gold PWG logo on top of the “FIGHT” emblem on his left leg.

Thank God I made a custom WM39 KO using the Elite 101 KO last year. Scales a lot better, has the missing logos and hand tattoo, and all the new UE heads fit on that figure so it’s just about perfect. If y’all got a spare E101 KO and know how to apply decals, I’d recommend doing the same.

Although I have to ask, why the hell would they make the bland all black attire an Elite, and make the much more colorful Rumble 2024 attire as a Basic? I feel it should’ve been the opposite, but what do I know right? They didn’t show a Royal Rumble 2024 Punk… Survivor Series return, MSG return, Pipebomb, Hart tribute, Royal Rumble 2010… and I think WrestleMania 28 (looks like it) Oh, and whatever his Elite 29 was based off of. That was on me. I got one of the Basic attires mixed up with the Rumble attire, as I only quickly glanced at the pics while I was at work. I edited my original post though.

Man, UE21 Owens, Zayn, and Cody look AMAZING. Literally cannot wait to have those in hand, especially the KO!

A couple of years ago, I saw an old Apollo Crews in a Keith Lee Elite box at my local Target. They even threw in that pink Dolph Ziggler shirt in place of Keith’s hoodie.

Survivor Series Sami Zayn - Bloodline Kevin Owens - Dusty tribute Bushwhacker Luke - SS 91 Bushwhacker Butch - SS 91 BAF Adam Pearce Good to see they aren’t making us wait a long time to get War Games 2022 Sami to match the rest of The Bloodline like how they made us wait years to get camo Adam Cole to match the rest of the Undisputed Era. Dusty tribute Owens wouldn’t have been my first pick for a Survivor Series Owens tbh. I would’ve went with his attire from 2016 Survivor Series, as that’s an attire he wore more than once and we only got as a Basic a few years ago.

Waking up from my after work nap to find out that Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn are getting Ultimate Edition figures AND they’re up for preorder already was certainly a welcomed surprise! Needless to say, I already preordered the entire set, but since Cody is already listed as “preorder2”, I made a separate order for 2 Kevins and 1 Sami, so I can get those two as soon as possible.
Also grabbed the new Rollins from the Main Events series, because I loved the attire.

I’d love it if we got War Games 2022 Asuka in the Survivor Series wave. I hate that Mattel skipped over her 2022 looks/attires and just went straight to Juggalette Asuka.
Orton and/or HHH from Survivor Series 2004 would also be pretty neat.
As for the Rumble wave, 2023 Rollins, 2017 Owens, and 2024 LA Knight are my picks. I’m not sure if they can still make Billy Gunn, but if they can, I’d want a Billy from the 2004 Rumble. We never got a short hair Billy from Mattel, nor did we ever get those iconic green shorts (accurately, anyway).

They started popping up at my local Target around I wanna say early January. I grabbed two Seths (needed extras for headswaps), LA Knight (keeping this one MOC), and Bianca, which I eventually gave to my mom for her birthday (she’s a huge fan of her).
Right now Brock, and to a lesser extent Rock and Bianca, aren’t really moving, but I only saw Knight there once, which was when I bought him. Seth is also one I don’t see there too often.

I’m still low key upset we never got a figure of Elias’ younger brother, “Big Zeke” Ezekiel.

Still unsure as to why Mattel decided to go back to the old KO head and haven’t been using the E101 head, but still looks good regardless!

My 3 Faces of Foley 3-Pack came in the mail today, and I also got a few other goodies I wanted to share with all of you, so here you go! Hope you enjoy! MankindUp until now, I didn't have any figures of Mankind in his original attire/gimmick, so this is a welcomed addition to the collection. His knees are a bit stiff compared to the other Foleys in the pack, but it's not a huge deal to me. I think that's just a general problem with the pinless knees. Also, I'm not sure if it was intentional or not, but my Mankind has his eyes looking to his right. Intentional or not, it still looks pretty cool IMO! One of my favorite Mankind figures in my collection. Cactus JackPersonally, I think a Cactus Jack with the "Wanted" shirt would've fit the aesthetic of the three pack more than WCW Cactus, but that being said, this figure is still really nice. I don't think we ever got WCW Cactus in figure form before this, so it's pretty cool we finally got one. Dude LoveOWWW HAVE MERCY!!! If I'm being honest, I think this is probably my favorite figure of the three Foleys. I always got a kick out of the Dude Love gimmick, and it's also one of the only incarnations of Foley I unfortunately never had a figure of until now. Great to finally have one in the collection! Here's all the 3 Faces of Foley together: NEW Customs!In addition to the 3 Faces of Foley 3-Pack, I also completed some new customs earlier this week! Up first, here's a custom Kevin Owens based off his attire that he wore on the 12/22/23 episode of SmackDown. I thought this attire (or shorts, rather) were pretty unique, and I'm a huge KO mark and make a ton of customs of him anyway, so I knew I wanted to have this new look in figure form! I also did a side-by-side with the last KO custom I made last month. Up next, here's a custom Backlash 2023 Seth Freakin' Rollins! I really enjoyed the Backlash PLE in PR, including the Seth vs. Omos match which I initially didn't think I would like as much as I did. Plus, much like with KO, I'm a big Rollins mark, and I try to have as many different looks of his as possible. It may not look it, but this was a pretty simple custom to make compared to some other custom Rollins figures I've made. Really like how this turned out! And last but not least, here is a custom I just finished up last night. It's Main Event Jey Uso! YEET! I've been really enjoying Jey's solo run, and I thought this would be a pretty fun custom to make. I still need to get a shirt for him, but I think it still looks fine without it. The decals for the tattoos on his back and left rib were pretty tricky, and did get slightly damaged sadly, but it's not too noticeable thankfully, and still look good. And that's everything for now! Let me know what y'all think and which Face of Foley is your favorite? Thanks for viewing! HAVE A NICE DAY!

I'm waiting on the new UE20 Roman to come in (I didn't preorder it initially, so it's on back order for next month), but right now in my little main display, I got E103 Roman, E106 Jimmy and Jey, E107 Solo, and 3-Pack Heyman. I have them all with the "We the Ones" hands as well, except Heyman, who I have holding a mic. I don't have Sami next to The Bloodline guys anymore, as I have him next to Owens instead, but I used to have E91 Sami with painted black pants and UE14 Roman's shirt when he was still the "Honorary Uce". I eventually turned that custom into my WrestleMania 39 Sami (and gave him the E106 head), but if you want to have Sami in your Bloodline display, E102 with the UE14 Roman shirt is the way to go.

I’m in the process of making a custom Asuka from mid-late 2022, however I’m wondering if there are any female Elite arms that are mostly bare and will fit on/match the skin tone of the Network Spotlight Asuka body. I tried using arms that are pinless/have double jointed elbows, but they don’t fit on the NS figure. I really don’t want to paint skin tone over the arm joints, so that’s why I was looking to see if there are any bare female arms that I could use on the NS body. Thanks in advance! For those curious, I’m trying to recreate this look.
