Dean - for that Cena, you should get his screaming headscan so it matches the shirt. Damn, that's smart. Why didn't I think of that? SMH. Which scan is the best for that? I really thought I was done with this Cena, but your right, it'd make more sense for the screaming scan while lifting 500 lbs. I think PPV 11 is the only screaming Cena scan (not a Cena fan at all so I could be wrong)

Keep up the terrific job man! Thanks man, your the one making masterpieces though. Not me. Do you have a nice clean way to make a Serena head without painting the entire thing? Ideally Id like to just pop the hair of a mattel diva figure, maybe Beth Phoenix, have a little hole or whatever to fill in and paint the buzzed hair much like the SES punk figure. Input from the master?

Thank you Marino. I try to make each fix up blend in as best I can. Heres a quick X3 fix up. cm punk-head swap big slow-head swap Gallows-torso swap+cm punk shirt. (I used his other torso for NASH) Which Diva figure do I need to buy and pop the hair off of to make a ses serena? Anyone tried this yet? I'm still on the fence about it but The pirates of the caribbean on stranger tides Angelica figure is a close comparison IMO. www.toyark.com/news/attach/1/9/9/9/Pirates-of-the-Caribbean-Angelica_1296737653.jpgI think they are still on sale at TRU for like $7 (not 100% sure though)... You would just need to find a body to put it on (Mickie James maybe?) Micro did one with a Heroes Jessica Sanders figure that turned out pretty decent too. Check it out here:wfigs.proboards.com/index.cgi?action=display&board=wftmattel&thread=224764&page=1i did the same but i put the head on a Melina body (all i had) it looks good on a mattel body just needs some modding to make it fit due to the hole being so huge.

Heres a few subtle fix ups I've done since I received "The Hitman". What can I say that hasn't already been said about this figure? Its simply amazing. It just needed a little help IMO. Some smaller elbow pads, some Knee pads and I personally had to switch the fist hand so I could put him in his pose. And Lastly the glasses...I went to my local Vinyl Shop and had some PINK glasses made. Heres the pics. Enjoy. Silver vs. Pink This makes me want to finish my HBK so bad! Heres my Fav Four. With these 2 Brets I was able to give my custom Hulk the belt he rightly deserves and fix that dull, boring yellow belt Ultimate Warrior had. P.S. I have more Glasses cut if you want to get one PM me. Hurry while supplies last. Once they are gone, they are gone. Just peel off the old silver and line up and apply this pink pre-cut vinyl sticker and you've got Bret's trademark PINK glasses.

You never cease to amaze me with how good your work is. Not to mention you're extremely easy to order from. Can't wait till my Bret's pink decals arrive.
I will say I'm very jealous over your Warrior. I still need to order me one of those damn things.

Hey Dean. I love your decals. I just put a set of your Punk tattoos on my Elite 11 Punk. I was wondering if you could give a step by step on how you print out the decals and make them so good. I made some for others figures. I followed the directions exactly and even sealed the paper with the same brand of sealer it said to use. But I put the decal in the water and it gets all sticky and the designs don't show on the attire. I made some cool Zack Ryder and Razor Ramon decals.

Thank you guys! I try to do good work and wouldn't offer it to others if I didn't feel it was top notch stuff. I cant wait for you guys to get these Bret Glasses stickers. It looks even better in person I think. RF's for Ric Flair fix ups should be in soon. I had to special order them from a company that makes heat transfers. I hope they work like they're supposed to. *fingers crossed* i'm just amazed at how you find all these specialist materials/places! like you say you got the bret glasses stuff from a "vinyl store" (and you say it so casually as well!) maybe it's an american thing, but i have never heard of a store of that type and i wouldn't have the first idea of where to find this kind of thing here in england. no idea what a heat transfer is either! around here, ralph is "the clothes guy", naparo is "the ringskirts guy" and it seems you're fast becoming "the decal guy"! which is well deserved anyway guess I'm "the WCW guy" or actually, more likely "the straight-faced headscan guy"

I don't really think its an American thing though. I'm a graphic Artist, and I have a slew of contacts through all the trade shows I attend. I specialize in T-Shirt design, Web Design, Vinyl banners, Signs etc etc.... The Wfigs is just a fun Hobby. Ive been a huge wrestling fan since I was 6 years old, so that makes 30 years of eating my prayers and saying my vitamins. (yes, that was on purpose.)

My god Dean you stuff is of legend. What I like best is, your work is very clean. To the point where someone who don't know better could never point out the ones you did compared to the ones Mattel does. Very nice. Thank you Marino. I try to make each fix up blend in as best I can. Heres a quick X3 fix up. cm punk-head swap big slow-head swap Gallows-torso swap+cm punk shirt. (I used his other torso for NASH) Which Diva figure do I need to buy and pop the hair off of to make a ses serena? Anyone tried this yet? My opinion is RA Adrenaline 2-pack Victoria.
