Going to try my first torso crack tomorrow. Can I seal it back together with super glue? Or what do you guys use?

Could you cut the hair off of miavia, and put it on the rsc? Ehhh I doubt it. I'm sure it's possible but I think it takes a special skill set to remove hair from one figure and fit it cleanly onto a separate head. How about the recent Wrestlemania Heritage Rock?

Has anyone come up with a good looking method for taking a molded Hogan shirt, and giving it the "Ripped" back? So far the only ones that have the ripped back are the shirts that are torn down the front. And I despise those shirts. I like the solid ones in the front, but I'd like em to have the ripped up backs.
Any ideas?

A simple fix-up to my Superstar Entrances Piper figure. I think it looks a lot better now after a couple swaps. OMG bro who is that sexy woman as your signature?

First torso crack was a failure. I'm pretty impatient when it comes to that. Anyway I did put some Brock arms on Kane

First torso crack was a failure. I'm pretty impatient when it comes to that. Anyway I did put some Brock arms on Kane When cracking the torso, just be sure to take your time. It seems like everyone has their own way of doing it but I prefer to use a very thin flat-head screwdriver. I find that a thick one usually causes some stress marks, bending on the torso. Also, I literally boil the water and let the figure sit for a few seconds, pull it out, wipe off the really hot water, then pry a bit. If it's not coming apart fairly easily, let it soak for a few more seconds. Also, don't forget to cut the neck joint at the seams. You'll know when you've cut it down far enough. Personally, I haven't had good luck when I try anything less. It gets hard for me sometimes too because I want to jump right in and get to work.

The head is a little big, but the extra bulk from the jacket helps I think

I wonder if the Tito HOF head would work better. The size would be correct but Tito didn't really wear his hair down when he was El Matador.

is there a boot that i can replace the Basic/Elite Los Matadores elites?
it's odd to the basic boot on a elite (fashioned by Mattel) and i want to replace it
also, i wonder how many basic boots can attach to it, that's the billion $ question

Here is a picture of the first custom I have shared here, Nikita Koloff. Thanks to Warsman for the head. Figure was made from a Ryback torso and waist, Orndorff legs and arms, and Demolition boots. Hope everyone likes it.

Hope everyone likes it. That's really nice especially for your very first custom. My only advice would be to use a tooth pick to scrape away any excess paint around the shoulder straps on the singlet. Keep up the good work and please keep sharing!
