Wow, that looks really good! I did something similar a few years back. I made a Jakks Macho King from a Jakks Rick Martel, lol. Your Mattel Martel will look great with white knee pads. I can't think of anyone that came with white knee pads though.

I Ordered an Elite Finlay just for the Pads... so My Martel Should look good. I Dont know if he Ever sported White as the Model but i know he did in Strike Force and Can Am Connection.
Anyone know if Martel wore white as The Model??

Anyone know if Martel wore white as The Model?? Almost positive that Martel never wore white as The Model. He wore light blue, purple, and pink. White was from his days in Strike Force. |

 cant tell if this is pink or white, i remember him wearing white in strike force and can am, and pink , blue and pruple as the model.... but i wouldnt be surprised if he wore white as the model in a match at some point..... im gonna check some dailymotion and youtube vids edit; probably light blue, altho this light blue was close to white or off white |

I think they just look more white because of the crappy quality. The boots and knee-pads are definitely light blue; I would almost bet a nut that the tights are too.

ya they look like they could be that light light blue color with a darker light blue for the pads and trunks, but also look like they could be white or off-white. Anyways, im having no luck finding rick the model martel ref pics in white, so its either i lose the tie and call it a strike force or can am martel (but with the ponytail tied back) or i find a way to get that light blue sheen on it , or a pink.... but i really hate painting figures. I would much rather stain the trunks , pads and boots then paint them Any Suggestions for Martel?? edit;  Close enough for me , Thanks for the Help Quinn.... im definetly gonna go with a "model" version of martel as he never wore his hair back in can am or strike force. Unless i can find something to give it a light blue sheen without painting then ill prob just leave him white |

Not liking the martel, because it looks like you used the DM Macho body from the hips up for it. And the hips have the wrinkles for the molded tights in them. That's the one thing that annoys me with the first elite Ted DiBiase...they used the long tight mold hips in flesh color, but you still see the wrinkles of the tights. Other than that I like them both.

damn you zombie for stealing my idea! I just traded for an extra Ric Martel so that I could be the first to do a Macho King fix-up. I am definitely regretting selling my Macho King Hasbro though, I could really do with the crown and sceptre. It's insane the ebay prices for his hasbros now.

I got my Macho King Hasbro figure for $6 Mint in package. lol. the reason is the guy never wrote hasbro on his listing, he just put Macho King i think.... anyways, it never came up in my original search so i got a good buy on that one  Ive had this fix up on my mind since i first seen rick martel glad its done, its definet a gem in my collection |

That's the one thing about the Elite Series (2 or 3?) DiBiase that jumped out at me when I opened it. I have to stand him behind Orton & Maryse on my display so I don't see his hips. lol |
