www.onlineworldoWe spam!/pictures/n/northsouthconnection/02.jpg www.onlineworldoWe spam!/pictures/a/adrianadonis/18.jpg Need help deciding if I should use the fat torso or the dusty torso for a ra custom adonis, I want it to be from his pre-adorable days. Also any suggestions for a head scan to use? HEY MAZZ! I'm having the same problem as you with deciding on a torso for an RA Morishima. The thing is, I think the Dusty / Bigelow torso works better for him, but the arms on that torso are NOT correct at all. My suggestion would be, if you could, using regular RA arms on the Dusty torso. I'm not very good at the moment with torso cracking and stuff, but I hope to be some day. That's probably the way I would go. As far as the head goes, here are few options:    |

With that said, I need some of your guys' advice on his attire before I proceed any further: 1) Should I paint on his arm sleeve? and is their a logo on it? (I want to make his illegal green elbow pad, so did he ever wear the arm sleeve while using the green elbow pad?) 2) Is it inaccurate to leave his elbow pad black? From the match that I watched, it was red. 3) What Chinese character(s) is on his wristband? I've looked on Google and can't find a good reference. 4) What type of boots should I use? I was thinking between Ziggler's or kickpads, whichever one is more accurate (unless there's a better alternative) Any is help is much appreciated! 1. His arm sleeve is any color to match the color of his trunks. There is a black/white star on top of every one of his arm sleeves on the side of his bicep. I'm sure he wore it when he was still using the green elbow pad. 2. He switches up from black, red, and most recently a black and green elbow pad. Any color elbow pad will be accurate. 3. His wrist cuff has "Misawa" in Japanese.  4. Get a cheap DA figure. Cut off the boots. Drill a hole in it, and attach it to the Mattel figure. If not, just use regular boots and sand off the laces. He wears medium sized boots, so regular boots are perfect. |

I put the head on an AD2 Chavo body and added white HTM boots. Removed Chavo logos. It doesnt look too awful bad but the head is obviously small which kinda sucks. |

 Apparently, Mr Lesnar has inadvertently suffered a broken jaw. Oh well, "HERE COMES THE PAIN!!!" It might not be so funny to you guys but I laughed while i was writing it. Better than being pissed off for wasting time and material... |

Jay, even with the broken jaw, the head looks very well.  |

Are those the Unlimited Lesnar and Booker heads? There's a really good Hogan scan in that line too.

What is that Booker T head going to be used on because its huge compared to the macho man head The Macho Man head(my original sculpt) has been shrunken to Mattel size and the Booker T head is still shrinking to Jakks size from the 12 inch Ring Rebels series. Are those the Unlimited Lesnar and Booker heads? There's a really good Hogan scan in that line too. Brock is but the Booker T is from the 12 inch series. I have that Hogan head in a mold as we speak. |

Nice, I always liked that Hogan scan. A lot of the scans in the Unlimited line were pretty good, I don't know why Jakks never resized them.

I have that Hogan head in a mold as we speak. awesome, i've always wanted the Unlimited Lesnar head in RA size. drop me a message when it's ready for sale, or if you just need any info/loans of headscans. glad to see you're making progress on everything. i guess you're concentrating on shrinking right now, but would be great to see you tackle enlargements of some Mattels and Toybiz TNA at some point other than the Unlimited Lesnar, the only heads that come to mind i'd like to see shrunken to fit RA better are are the CSDA Scott Hall, BOECW Rhyno and DI Sting |
