  I'd been wanting to make NJPW's Super Strong Machine for quite a while. Obviously the attire was easy, but getting ahold of the parts and making them work was tricky. The thighs belong to DA Umaga. Much to my horror they weren't actually compatible with DA Big Show's hip connectors. The pegs on Umaga's legs are way bigger so the fit was super loose. But I applied a couple layers of heat shrink tubing and now they fit great. Shaving down the Jakks head to fit inside the Charapro mask was a bit of a pain since Jakks gives you so much more head to work with these days... Reference pic for anybody who isn't familiar with this guy:   Because of the DA scale and attire choice this figure also doubles as a nice Giant Machine if you pair it with some RA's... Thanks for looking. |

Very clean nice figure, looks like it came straight out of the box.
Who's head did you put under the mask?

Thanks for the comments, sorry I didn't answer this question earlier: the masks are from Charapro figures, Michiyoshi Ohara and Tatsutoshi Goto. Highspots has them in stock and you can fit them over a smaller Jakks head like Kane, as STOM mentioned. I saw STOM's fixups earlier and got the idea to try it on a DA.
