Hey there, not sure if I can post this here, sorry if it doesn't belong here.. Haven't been collecting for some years, now I wanna pick it up again, lot of figures I missed and want to have now. If I buy every figure I want individually online, will be a bit expensive, I hope to buy more at once so I can combine shipping costs (Im from The Netherlands, europe so have to buy on Ebay or a good website) You guys can suggest me a good site or seller on Ebay where I can find, for starters, the Hogan defining moments, and a Giant Legend or Elite ? Whats the difference between these 2 Giants by the way? Cheers! Andre differences:
Legends has a 5 o'clock shadow and comes with the winged eagle belt. I believe his trunks under the cloth singlet are black. E29 doesn't have the 5 o'clock shadow, trunks are blue, and comes with a wig to convert into 70s Andre but the wig looks like crap on him.
Thanks, so face exactly the same, besides the shadow?

Ok, so in custom support nobody is answering anymore. I really need help with the painting stuff. No idea what I do wrong, no matter what paint I try, no matter what brand, from dollar crap to expensive crap, the paint just doesn't hold on the figures. I wipe it of so easy with the brush, no matter what brush I use. What am I doing wrong? Have to be acrylic right? How do you do this? Sanding first? Cleaning first with some kind of fluid? SO damn frustrating..

Cool audience. You should make posters and signs at all that people are holding up tho, makes it look soooo much better, and so easily done! And write some text and simple symbols and patterns on audience shirts

If Mattel won't make Hogan figures, no way are they going to risk making a Trump figure. Guy is a ticking time bomb. Tickin time bomb how? Don't exagerate man..

No idea what I do wrong, whatever acryl brand I use, the paint just doesn't cover, it just wipe away when Im softly painting on a figure.

People complained that the Elite Bobby Rood had medium knee pads, so I think the way Mattel should start to deal with guys like that are exactly what they did with the Revival. You give the guy medium kneepads, but paint black on the leg underneath to make them appear larger, but not as large as the large kneepad would be. In real life, guys like Big Cass and Bobby Roode wear a leg sleeve with a smaller kneepad over it....but the largest Mattel kneepads limit leg articulation, so my suggestion would be to paint the legsleeve on and put the medium kneepad over it. They do something similar with Triple H's Elite figures, where the white tape is painted on the legs and the medium kneepad is put over it. Thoughts? For my Macho Man and Demolition Smash customs for example, instead of painting those legsleeves, I just use simple sporting tape, looks so realistic.

I always hear we have to use acrylic paint right? Why not oil? I used several kinds of acrylic brands now, it stays so sticky, what's the deal with this?

Hope I may ask this in this topic, before I start, hope it makes sense I can not find all the correct words in english but let's try. So I have the Classic Real Scale ring I bought years ago. Back then I got a free extra set of ringposts sent to me that were more strong or something. Now Im planning of painting those extra set of ringposts black, buy a set of black ropes from Ringside Collectibles and the WCW Nitro ringmat and ringskirt. But my question is if these accesoires will all fit on the Classic Ring. Biggest issue will be the turnbuckles I think. From what I see, the Classic Ring have different style of these so Im not sure how I can fix this. I was planning on buying a set of black turnbuckles from Ringside Collectibles and paint them red, but I don't think I can connects that style of turnbuckles to the Classic Ringpost?? Any ideas?

Now you've seen Happy Gene. Of oourse, promotional photo's, but for display one would mainly use him as an interviewer stuffing his mic under the wrestler's noses, and he always had a very strict and serious face whilst interviewing. Toybiz Gene Mean is awesome like that

Horrible face expression tho. I never saw Gene Mean so happy, he should have a way more serious face. I can't stand decisions like these from who-ever makes them. Toybiz Gene Mean is still my favorite

It looks how it looks around 1:35 That worries me Maybe people think I exagerate but Im perfectionist in these thing. Around 1:35 is the fluorneon bright effect I mentioned, isn't it clearly different from around 1.27 or am I hallucinating?

Thanks guys, I hope it's the lighting yes. Just check the official Ringside video I really find almost whole video Hogan too bright/neon/fluor. Only around 1.27 when the guy has the box in his hand, the yellow looks how I hope it is.

Can someone show difference in height of a Ryback Elite and a Ryback basic? If nobody has these both, can someone post pics of the height differences in general between basic and elites? And how they compare with normal Ruthless Aggression Classics? Pic please to compare a Jakks Classic Warrior and a Mattel Elite for example?
