This looks good man. Im wishing Blanchards head wasnt so damn big. Make that Jim figure shorter and Blanchards head and you would have a great Tully!! (and Arn for that fact)

Is it just me or do the legs look awkward on that Hillbilly Jim figure when the pants are off? Its looks to me that the upper thighs are really fat and the knee down it looks really skinny.

i have been thinking of doing this also..and this really swayed me into doing it... looks really good and is really simple...now i just have to find me a Sid head..
and as someone said.. i do hate how scrawny the lower legs are... i have used the jim body for a few figures.. and no matter what , the legs are always awkward... looks really bad on the scott hall i have , because its a ttl head.. and its wayyyyy to small, until i get a new head.

nice fixup. i bought an extra hillbilly jim thinking i would do a scott hall but then wen i got him i thought he may be too tall. then i had the idea to swap the lower legs with a legends 1 austin and give him undertaker gloves and make goldberg but that would be too expensive. this would work out great tho. i have a sid head already.

Hillbilly Jim's figure really does lend to easy fix-ups like Scott Hall, Bruiser Brody, Goldberg (even if a bit too tall), and Sid Vicious. But your fix-up confirmed a couple things for me:
1. Is the skin-tone a better match in person? It looks off with the camera, and is the same scenario I faced with my Lex Luger fix-up, i.e. balloon head sculpt and wrong skin-tone.
2. His head seems to sit very high on that neck
3. I'd switch that tiny elbow pad for one of the longer ones worn by Kane or Undertaker for a more accurate elbow pad on Sid
Otherwise it's a good fix-up for sure.

^ 1. The skin-tone doesn't look off to me at all.
2. Yeah it sits a little high.
3. I was thinking I did add that elbow pad, but I guess I didn't. Thanks for pointing that out.

i broke down and tossed this together sans the head... but i did one small change... i tossed on some taker lower legs and boots.. because i remember seeing sid wear the higher boots alot.. and i think it makes the legs look a little less "chicken" like at the bottom...

come to think of it Hillbilly Jim was a great figure for Jakks fixups too.
Good job on Sid

I like it. I hope Mattel makes one of him and does it kinda like Jakks did with his BCA and give him that orange tan glow he always possessed as Sid was one of the tannest guys around.
Your figure looks cool for such an easy swap out.

Good idea. Yeah, you could hardly see any skin from the top of his kneepads to this his toe.
