Decided to make an updated Lashley in long tights. Not 100% accurate, but good enough for me. Used Elite 23 Triple H legs and Network Spotlight Triple H boots.

Was he announced or rumored for being in Legends 10?

Chase The Ace - AC/DC
Heartbreaker - Pat Benatar
I’ve always thought these 2 songs were the inspiration for The Ultimate Warrior’s Theme, especially Heartbreaker by Pat Benatar

Interested in these. Would like to see scale/design how they compare to other lines. they look like the dollar general figures Like the Havoc Unleashed series? That’s kinda the vibe I was getting from the pictures.

If anyone else ordered an Ultimate Fiend from Amazon, mine got delayed until the middle of January. Be on the lookout for this notice. Amazon actually asked me to approve and I had to sign in on desktop to do. I’ve not seen Fiend or Hogan on Amazon yet

Made a small order. I the new WrestleMania HBK, my 2nd Edgeheads Elite, and E74 Styles. Was hoping E77 Styles would have been priced similar to E74, and I would have grabbed him too. Maybe next time.

I’ve done 2 of those Drew heads for Undertaker fix ups. Oh, cool! Do you have any pictures of the finished product? I'm really curious about how it looks! I don’t have any pictures, but I’ll try to take some and post them this week. Might be a dumb question but how did you remove the lower half of the Cena legs to make that Austin? I have a fixup like this, but mine still has the Cena lower legs because I wasn’t sure if I could swap it out the same as the other Elite legs, with the shorts mold being so thick. Not dumb at all, it's a good question because there was definitely some manipulation needed. I heated the legs using hot water for about a minute. I used an X-Acto knife to cut the peg at the knee, then pulled the lower leg off. I superglued the knee of the replacement legs to the shorts. There's definitely a gap there because of Cena's shorts, but the superglue held nicely with 30 seconds of pressure. Because of the extra articulation in the Elite style legs, it worked out nicely without losing the ability to manipulate the legs for displaying purposes. Thanks! I’m definitely gonna give this a try.

Are there any tips I should know about before I attempt to remove a hair piece for the first time? I am planning on trying to transfer Drew McIntyre's alternate head's hair onto either Bret Hart or the Undertaker, and I don't want to ruin it. Has anyone attempted this before? The best advice I can give on this is to take it slow. Heat the head/hair up with heated water or a hair dryer and slowly try to pull the hair away. Take it slow so you don’t tear the hair, and you may have to heat it again before you can pull it all off. Sometimes I can tear it mostly off, but have to use my hobby knife to cut the last bit away from the head, again go slow, because it’s easy to cut to far into the hair. Especially with it being soft from being heated. I’ve done 2 of those Drew heads for Undertaker fix ups. Might be a dumb question but how did you remove the lower half of the Cena legs to make that Austin? I have a fixup like this, but mine still has the Cena lower legs because I wasn’t sure if I could swap it out the same as the other Elite legs, with the shorts mold being so thick.

April 5th I ordered mine. SMH To clarify, they sent an email last month saying it would ship today, it didnt. I don't like my chances. Mine has said preparing to ship since April. Haven’t recieved a single update or email on them.

I’m beginning to think people finding GI Joes at Walgreens is an Urban Legend lol. Matter of fact, I’m beginning to think people finding GI Joes at retail is an Urban Legend.

BANG! My custom version of DDP upon moving to WWF in '98 after losing his final WCW match to Goldberg at Halloween Havoc. Good part choice on this one. I really like it. May borrow your formula to make a long haired DDP.....if there are any long haired heads left out there after everyone used the hair for Kenny Omega customs lol.

Retro Spidey is delayed from Amazon for me. I had to approve the delay so they'll still ship it (if they get it in stock). That figure seems to be turning into another I'll have to shell out for on eBay because I just can't seem to find one. Same here

Got my Storm Shadow from Amazon. Cobra Commander should be coming next week.
I’m planning on tracking down Gung Ho.
Still not sure what I’m gonna do with this line. I have no shelf space to display them. I’ve opened them and posed the figures, but put them back in the box and in the closest for the time being. May have to sacrifice one of my wrestling shelves for GI Joe.

I would put your favorite versions of everyone. For instance 2 Tuff Billy Gunn is alright, but Fully Loaded Billy Gunn is awesome, so I would go with Fully Loaded.

What’s the consensus on the Legends Hacksaw head vs GameStop Hacksaw Head? RF looks much better in hand and I feel it represents his character much better. Legends looks angry. When I think of Hacksaw I picture fun loving and a bit goofy and not angry. I’ll second this thought.

That’s what I was going to use my Razor’s thumbs up hands for.
