Decided I try dyeing JYD red and it came out pretty good Did you repaint the right logos? How were they not dyed over? When you dye anything that is left on (ie: writing on trunks, logos, etc.) gets dyed the color and is slightly visible. So when I had to trace over the words it was not difficult.

Awkward timing but I've been wanting to make a barefoot Snuka for a while. Thanks to Mase for getting me a backup Kevin Von Erich. My first ever full body re-paint That looks great Did you use paint or shoe polish method?

Is anyone else hurting for a Tatanka figure? I wish the Jakks heads weren't absolutely gigantic. Any other heads out there fit the bill? Maybe Wars will make a Mattel scale cast of it? I made one if anyone's interested

Mase, did you dye the lower torso or paint? I'm really digging this new dye technique Apoc I am liking it too especially dark colors I did some research and the rit dye doesn't work on hard plastic They suggested and I use idye poly It's sold at Joanne's here in the states Stuff works but there is some getting use to it One thing is that it dyes the outside but if you rub acetone it will remove the dye Second thing is that even after rinsing you get black residue on hand To combat that I seal it like I was painting the figure The accessories I lightly brush crazy glue on the side that touches the figure as extra protection from smudging

I thought so myself but it was actualy perfect. Only problem was I had to put something inside abs (little floral wire) to keep it on lowe legs. Mase, you you mind posting a few pictures without the weightbelt like front, back, and side views? Best i could do

Apocalypse and tarver thanks for the compliments. Recipe: HOF Head Arms Elite 34 whole Torso DM Hogan Whole lower body Giant elite shirt trimmed HOF Hogan Belt and bandana dyed black. I can now gover the lettering on the belt with white Wouldn't the Elite 34 torso be too wide for the DM trunks. Like muffin topping over the edges of the trunks.

Hollywood Hulk Hogan was going to have a different torso and laced wrestling boots, and I think larger arms, too. But I'm sure there are good parts lying around that can be used for a proportionate Hollywood Hogan. Hollywood Head 80's Hogan torso and arms DM Hogan crotch painted black JYD legs? I have no idea what boots would be best my recipe: Jakks R3 Hollywood head Ultimate Warrior upper torso and arms (though, certainly, the HOF or DM torso would work too) Lesnar gloved hands Undertaker crotch/ upper legs Toy Biz hollywood Hogan from the knees down (surprisingly it fits) Toy biz shirt and weightlifter belt Elite 16 Kevin Nash spraypainted WHC Belt Take elite 34 upper torso head and arms, dm stomach crotch area, undertaker legs, black boots. Best we could do i guess? Damn Mattel for holding the figure back

This is a custom i really wanted to make ever since last year and finally i had the chance to do it. E30 trunks, the rest is E33. Legs and boots are dyed black (as usual, you know me). It misses only the Gracie decal on the back but 95% is complete. Do you do anything to get rid of excess dye from figure? I run the part under water but it leaves black residue on hand even after letting it dry
