Has anyone given the RA 40 Jericho or any other trunks attired Jericho a flabby torso? I'm not really happy with the cruiserweight torso on him at all. It just looks kind of odd comparing the figure to the real Jericho.. Has anyone done the swap yet though? How'd it turn out if so? Edit: Here are some better quality pics-   |

personally, the flabby torso would just odd. yes Jericho's body is a bit flabby but with the Regal torso, it will just make him look even flabbier. I think the RA39 Rey Mysterio torso would look best.

I like to know as well. It would probably look better if Jakks would have used Rey's torso. The problem is Rey is the only one with that torso so the skin won't match up!

Ok, I just tried something out with some spare parts. I didn't take the RA 40 figure apart yet though..
I don't have my camera this minute but I will post pictures later on... it looks pretty good..

Try a non-ripped HW torso.

Pop the Jericho head off and put it on a Regal or Flair...personally (I haven't tried any switching) I think it will look terrible. Jericho is not "flabby."
And a Rey torso will not look good either...it is too short of a torso. The new Jericho figures are perfect IMO. They are action figures, not individually sculpted statues (which would be more "picture-esque" ala the UMF line).

I'd do it... the cruiser torso doesn't work at all.. Pop the Jericho head off and put it on a Regal or Flair...personally (I haven't tried any switching) I think it will look terrible. Jericho is not "flabby." Neither is Regal.. |

I don't think that torso would work for Jericho. I haven't seen him in a while, but from what I remember he had love handles not a fat stomach. the R3 Jericho torso was always my favorite for him.

It definitely works from the profile angle.

Try a non-ripped HW torso. There's no such thing I'm assuming he means the SHW torso, the one used for Triple H, Kane, and a bunch of others. Surprisingly used for BOWCW Jericho as well. I was thinking about that or the flabby torso. We'll see what works best. |

i know jericho is a tad chubby in real life, but I dont understand the whole, "lets make my figure look like a fat lazy oaf rather than a muscular wrestler" even if he is a fat lazy oaf in real life. now obviously, a real fat guy like yokozuna or mark henry should be fat, but ideally jericho should be in perfect shape, and the only reason he isnt, is because wwe is no longer pressuring them to have action figure like sculpted bodies, so i would want my figure of him to represent how he "should" look in his fighting shape. also, I dont want him ripped with muscle on top of muscle, cuz he isnt supposed to look like a roid head either, thats why I think the cruiser torso works, cuz thats what he SHOULD look like, to be appearing on tv with his shirt off and wearing underwear. imagine if a diva grew a lil gut? would you make your diva figures with preggo bellies?

I pretty much agree with this. I don't understand the whole "let's stick the flabby torso on everyone" thing. Unless it's always been a part of a wrestler's look and character, I'd rather have my figures look more idealized than flabby. |

I reckon the flabby torso works quite well, IMO. Thanks for putting it into pictures, JCF!!  |

It's alright. Not great just alright. Just stick with the RA 40, it's close to perfect.
