A little late to the party on this one but I wanted to do it justice and test myself. Here’s my WrestleMania 37 Randy Orton. This started off as a base Elite 87 Orton. I painted the trunks and kneepads white using air brush paint and lots of patience. I also went in and painted the beard on the head and it really bought this scan to life! I’m really pleased with how this came out and it’s one of my absolute favourite pieces I’ve worked on. Shouts as always to the Jedi master mac _decals for his guidance, tips, inspiration and decals for this. I also just wrapped up this custom “What could of been” entrance vest for this attire. It came with the Elite 78 that this firgure was and I had no other use for it so thought why not. Interestingly he didn’t wear one this year. But this is my take on what it may of been to match his super slick white and red attire. I’ll have pics of it on the figure up later whilst it seals

Headswapped the basic Heads onto the elite bodies Finally finished my Matt with the Jersey, love the figure, got to put some tissue in the neck hole so his head doesnt sit too low still Jeff was a great figure, little fixes made it even better IMO, removed the red sides of his hair and made it more accurate to the match,raised his head a bit, trimmed a bit of his Jawline and made his necklace tighter. Swapped the hair out from my previous Wrestlemania Edge Fix-up with the hair from the 2 pack with kane. Hes not a ginger anymore *edit* updated my Tna Jeff hardy from a few pages back What matt head is this mate? the Brood two pack with what hair? cheers man

My first Jazwares/wickedcooltoys All Elite Wrestling Americann Nightmar Cody Rhodes custom AEW Unrivalled custom figure. Around 90% complete. Some small bits here or there but for the most part I am really pleased with how this turned out. Based on his short lived Dark hair return in 2020. I had a spare Cody and thought I’d challenge myself to do this. I’m by no means a pro but it’s nice to progress. like how this turned out. What do you guys think? Hair Painted/Tights Painted/Boots Painted and Decals applied for attire/boots and neck tattoo. I do have a weight belt I'm working on too. Shouts to Mac Decals as ever for being my inspiration and guiding me on customs. Guys a legend.

My Adam Cole War-games attire. Adam Cole Basic Head and left elbow pad. Adam Cole UD3 3 pack arms, legs and boots. - I got this figure in a trade for fixing a figure for someone and the chest was all screwed up so repurposed the parts here and it had the gaudy smiling head on it so swapped it out. Kyle O'Reilly Elite 80 Torso and Crotch. Custom UDE arm band from Mac_Decals and extended kneepads with AMA Logo. Again drew inspiration from Mac_Decals, guys a legend and really helpful in teaching me stuff on customising. Came out great. Had to torso crack kyle to get the torso off. Did this to have both parts off separately to neatly remove the chest tattoo. Shouts to ThenWF for his advice on how to do this without ing up chests. I will add the tights decal at some point, but dont have the art or clear decal paper right now to do it. Only my list of things to do.

Thanks a lot for the replies fellas. I’m going to check out the suggestions above. Basically, an all white or almost white mold to do the minimal painting. Trying to keep him in scale. If you find white kickpads, you don't need to paint if you want just white. Acetone (you can get this at the pharmacy) takes paint off rubber. DO NOT USE ON PLASTIC. So boots, arms, legs, heads are all fair game. It'll remove any other color paint and just leave the white rubber. Now, if you want to add green or black for Hurricane, ok, yes you'll need to paint.

I mean we can go down a whole rabbit hole here in a hurry. Take a look at the FTR figures and tell me their parts reflect their builds relative to the other roster figures. Like they aren't even close. Cash is a freaking cement outhouse in real life and his figure looks as thin as Jack Gallagher. Aj styles comes to mind as well in that regard. I'm not saying the Riddle is perfect, far from it, but it's not like he's the only figure that isn't accurate. His legs are definitely too ripped and thick, but by the same token they're too thin in those customs. (I used what appears to be the same or very very similar parts for my own Riddle custom and the legs are too skinny on mine too.) Heck look at it my Erik's thighs for the Viking Raiders. Which actually might have been good parts for Riddle legs when I think of it lol. Edit: undoubtedly the custom is closer than the actual fig, I'm not disputing that. Just like I think my own custom is closer than the actual fig proportion wise. I'm just saying it's far from a Riddle only issue I can't see how you can think those lower legs are too skinny when they practically match the picture of Riddle that was posted man. Mind boggling.

I'm sorry but anyone disagreeing and also in general saying that the scale of this figure is correct needs their eyes tested. Riddles Torso and Legs are not that jacked in real life at all. Its way off, let alone the arm issue many are trying to fight for being correct. Someone already posted this picture of Riddle for his proportions. As noted Big Torso, skinny arms and skinny legs. Take a look at his legs. Now compare to these and tell me which is more in proportion and looks more anatomically correct. The thighs on the Mattel figure are WAY too jacked, the reason for this is undoubtably down to pure laziness of not wanting to create a skinny leg foot mould and just reusing the Kevin Von Eric mould as a whole and, effectively resorting to just sticking riddles head on a Kevin body which is why everything is huge. Miss opportunity let alone moulding the crotch and leg pegs in white plastic and then painting the shorts on looks totally awful. I'd say im disappointed but its nothing that cant be fixed with a few part swaps and a good customiser, but shouldn't have to be is more so the point especially after having to pay out for the figure, head, jacket, sliders, headband are cool, rest is lazy and implemented terribly. In my opinion of course.

If you’d of asked me a month ago I’d have a near complete Hasbro collection I’d of said your full of it. But the stars aligned. Someone else's sad misfortune of selling up their entire collection was my gain after selling one of my Replica belts I managed to buy the collection and here I am. Shouts to Karl Steele - KS Elite Stands (Look him up also appeared on the Major Wrestling Figure Podcast) for the fantastic Detolf sized risers which now in this lit Detolf look absolutely fantastic. Give your hasbros the home they deserve. I do have a MOC 123 Kid just torn on opening. I need Purple Bret Hart Heart and the Mailaway Hogan to have a full set. I’m absolutely chuffed to this retro nostalgic kick in the good feels.
