I already had Jake and Piper at home. At that price I decided to grab a second Piper. I guess it is a small perk of the HOF line all having the same product code. Looks like they were trying to clear the last bit of HOF 4 at this particular location(it is new, no chance to get burdened with Tito or Jimmy Hart like most Philly Targets).

HOF 5 has hit Philadelphia. Better yet, it appears they are trying to clear the old HOF stock at $12.49. Just got Diesel, Piper, And Steele for a steal.

I did a similar fix up with a Tatanka torso/legs. Fairly similar in height. Do you know if Basic Sid boots would fit on the Elite Tatanka lower legs? With a little modification they will fit for the most part. You need to make the peg holes a tad deeper and a little wider at the top of the boots. The boots will be a little wider than his shins, but not super noticeable on display.

nomad213 Solid job going there. Look forward to your other projects. What is the head from? Kinda reminds me of the heads from the dollar store wrestling figures in the late 80’s-90’s

My target is full of Jimmy Hart, King Booker, and the Warrior/ Shango two packs... not to mention a lot of the last DM Macho sadly.

Yup straight Tatanka. Think its the Sid boots but might be Taker/kane...sid arms and head. Looks great; how's the height/scale compared to Elite Sycho Sid? I did a similar fix up with a Tatanka torso/legs. Fairly similar in height.

Completely missed the retro part. Please disregard my first post. Although, couldn’t you swap one of the elite heads with a removable mask on to a retro figure?

The mask is removable. No need to cut it off.

The arm movement doesn’t really bother me. I do mind the need for a torso crack to swap the upper arms now.

Thanks much for the reply. Will have to find some shorter length but wide/large shins to match up... There are pants molds that tuck into boots. Off the top of my head, there's Dudleyz and Braun. Maybe they would work with the right paint. They should have wider shins that fit well with the jeans mold. Thanks for the advice.

Just started on this with the idea of making a WCW debut inspired Warrior. I have some extra cowboy boots, but not sure on best shin to use. Are there any figures with denim colored lower half’s with pants that tuck into the boots? I don't think Mattel has made any lower leg jeans that tuck into boots. Otherwise I would have customized a DDP and SS02 HBK by now. Thanks much for the reply. Will have to find some shorter length but wide/large shins to match up...

Ellering and JJ Dillion both would be awesome to have. Ellering did have a Remco figure but it wouldnt surprise me if Bill didnt know that. Im still banking on Trump. Its a cash cow. JJ would be great. I highly doubt it would be trump. First, because I wonder if they’d even have the rights to make him and also that would alienate too many people because of how polarizing and how hated he is by so many people. I doubt it is Trump, but in regards to the rights I don’t think it is an issue. Once he became POTUS he entered into public domain territory which makes it ok to use his image/likeness.
