Went to WalMart earlier and surprisingly found Legends 5 (minus Akeem). Macho Man was one figure that was a guaranteed buy once I saw it at retail and so I couldn't pass it up. And I am not disappointed.
I passed up on the Defining Moments figure because I wanted a Macho Man with his more iconic trunks and stars attire. I only have two gripes about the figure: 1) his body is too ripped and 2) his kneepads are UGLY. Nevertheless, these are just minor things in my eyes, and it's still a great figure.
Now for the fix-ups.
I just simply added some brown to his hair and beard. The original hair color started bugging me.
I found out that the tassels on Warrior's boots were colored wrong and I saw PJ's fix-up. I felt the need to correct it. Don't mind the white spots on the blue tassels. I noticed it after uploading pics and fixed it.
This one turned out better than I expected. I haven't done much painting/customizing since the Jakks days (which was terrible btw) so my expectations were low. When the exclusive Punk came out, my OTL Punk paled in comparison. So I just copied the exclusive camo and painted it on. Looks much better.
I'd love to have done more difficult projects, but I guess you gotta start somewhere. Thanks for looking!
