Custom Discussion & Work in Progress Thread

Marty Scurll. 90% Finished.
Just need to tidy up umbrella and give him his fur coat (in the mail)

Thanks a lot! I've just made a thread with the finished product be sure to check it out!

Seems like a safe bet that it would. Of course, it may also take off whatever color those tights are painted, if they are painted rather than molded in color.

I think Adam Rose's tights are molded black Trying to make a Vampiro! No, I've seen people use the nail polish to wipe tattoos right off! You have to do it quickly. I was curious to see if it would work on the legs.

Is there a way I can pay someone to switch out my elite Miz torso with the BOPPV SummerSlam Bret torso and put the Miz arms on the Bret torso and Bret arms on the Miz torso?

I've started on a Big Papa Pump custom using a Jakks head, Mattel Boris Kozlov body and some Jakks knee pads. I don't want to paint it or crack anything, so I am going with just some basic parts swaps (not trying to be perfect). However, I am having trouble finding shorter boots to make him closer to the right height. For example, the pegs on the Big-E next to him are the wrong type (pegs on the boot rather than the leg like Koslov) and the peg holes on the Bruno are too small. Any suggestions on where to get shorter boots that will fit? Thanks.

Hey guys, just want to say I'm not new to making customs at all. It's just I've only just begun to collect Mattels and don't have a clue what parts/figures are out there in terms of body sizes and stuff. So I am totally at your mercy and superior knowledge.

I am looking to do a few Attitude Era and late 90s WCW customs.

First I want to tackle is Lex Luger, like from this time period:



So I noticed that the Sycho Sid elite has the exact same upper body as the Lugers that have been released, which would be perfect because Sid is cheap and easy to find. In fact, I noticed that the only thing that is different to the Lex Express Luger body is the lower legs. Sid's too tall, so where could I get the correct height lower legs to swap onto him?

Someone said Triple H elite, but don't have a cheap option right now for him because they're all quite expensive everywhere I look.

Also need a Luger head, whether it's a pony tail WCW figure or a WWE Elite one (wrong hair, but will do fine).

Thanks for any help.

Ben Rothwell, or at least close enough looking for me. Was gonna sell off my MMA/UFC Jakks collection and nobody's decided to bite. Have like 3 or 4 bodies I could use for customs. Figured I could throw together something with 'em. So hhere's UFC Heavyweight Ben Rothwell. Based on the UFC 3 game. Might or might not paint the 'RevGear' logo on his shorts. Since the Reebok brand shorts are so plain I may just leave him like this. I like it, simple and easy.


charabro , I used the Jakks CS Lance Storm head on a Wanderlei Silva body. Looks alright. I have a Cro Cop in progress right now but his shorts came out looking like shyt. Probably gonna re-do them soon.

Looking good Kollector_Kombat pains me to hear you used a Wanderlei body as he's one of my biggest wants at the moment haha
