Hey everyone, At first I was always apprehensive about doing headswaps and doing customs but I feel my 1st attempts have come out pretty good - thanks to advice I got from some people on this board. Firstly, I did 2 fix-ups using headswaps on a buddy roberts and tony gazzo figure. The outcome = an awesome JJ Dillon and a great Antonio Inoki figure (just rubbed off the moustache on the face). Secondly, I was inspired by seeing a simple custom made by Mo4sho - of converting a jimmy lennon figure into an awesome lookin' Gordon Solie. Also at last picked up a Tully Blanchard to complete my authentic four horsemen wooohooo! Thanks alot to my buddy Jpilko for that 1! So for all the old school WCW/NWA fans out there....Enjoy the pics!  The brains behind the horsemen - Mr JJ Dillon himself Tully -- When asked to compare the NWO to the Horsemen, "imitation is the greatest form of flattery." Probably one of the greatest commentators ever....Gordon Solie...he actually coined the phrase "his face now a crimson mask!" One of Japan's greatest legends...Antonio Inoki Showdown in Tokyo! "I'm a limousine ridin', jet flyin', kiss stealin', wheelin' dealin' son of a gun. WOOOO!!"  SOLIE! My boots probably cost more than your house! Horsemen 4 Ever |

Good stuff, i really like the simple fix-ups, especially the Gordon Solie. The last pic you took with the Horesman looks badass btw.

Always good to see some NWA stuff. Nice fix-ups. The Gordon Solie is really nice. I might have to try to pick up that Jimmy Lennon figure if I can find one -- I'd love to have a Solie. Congrats on the Tully pick up, it's a great figure.

I'm not that keen on the Buddy Roberts head for JJ, it always looks a bit small and slim. I prefer the Lou Filipo head for him. Solie looks good but I would change those little T-Rex arms, I don't know what Jakks were thinking putting those tiny arms on that gigantic body. I've seen a few Inokis like that and it does work surprisingly well in a way but they eyes don't look right so I would change them.

looks good man, I did the same head swap for Dillon and Will do the same for Inoki as soon as i get a RA26 Regal  ....Im not a big fan of Solie though, I just dont like Lennons head for Solie. Lennon looks more like the AWA President (Blackburn was his last name, cant think of his first) |

I honestly don't get how anybody thinks that head works for Ionki, he has a massive chin, hence Ali calling him the pelican man. Gazzo looks nothing like him

Gazzo looks nothing like him well its just a simple headswap - for now, im happy with it and to be honest im not much of a customizer, im sure someone else could probably modify a gazzo head to make it look better Kaneisdaman - yupp really happy with the way things came out - cant wait to see your new headswaps |

Great idea on the Gordon Solie. Didn't care for the JJ Dillon at first but the more pics I looked at the more it greaw on me. Same goes for the Antonio Inoki. Damn Jakks needs to make these three into the CS line.
