Not exactly sure what you added to Mr. America other than the flag, but that Undisputed Hogan is incredible.

I used 2 elite 35 Ortons and repainted the blue trunks. The white and black logos are the mattel originals, I just painted around them Amazing, simply amazing. Great job man (If you decide to sell one i'm right here ) Anyway, finally finished my custom Chyna. X-Pac seems happy. C'mon, you know our motto...!
Recipe?

He painted red on the legs Inbetween the white stripes , and painted the mask blue and put the star on it. Looks like a custom blue weight belt too Making it a perfect mr America. So awesome Mikey . I got mine last night and I really like it more than I thought. Only paid $7 too

Did anyone ever come up with a Vince Russo head? I'm thinking about using a modded Wade Barrett and putting it on a basic shield body with a jersey. R3 Billy Gunn with painted hair and beard. But if you can do something where you only have to do the beard that's probably better.

@youknowhoiam I'm putting in my thoughts here, after looking at pictures of Russo, shaven and bearded, his eye spread and nose, I'm seeing Tully with sculpted slicked back hair & beard

How did you go about that? To answer this (and to mase307), let's say i actually suck at painting. I'm the worst in the world at it. So I found one year ago another way to "paint" parts, and that's dye plastic. How that works? You can actually search on google about dying plastic, here's the process i do: A pot of boiling water, then put a solution of Rit Dye color (in this case black for the boots). Remember, the water has to boil constantly during the process. After washing the parts, put them in the pot. The more you let them soak, the darker they will be. The medium time is from 45 minutes to 75. There are a lot of tutorials on Youtube on dye plastic, it's easier than what you think. Here's an example: www.bmx-forum.com/t/183272/how-to-dye-your-plastic-parts-with-pics

One main thing: i'm not 100% sure about it but somewhere i've read it's not possible to dye a part with a lighter color, for example you can't dye a pair of black boots with the yellow color. Viceversa it's possible. I'll do some research tho.

For fun. I just wanted to experiment with hair swapping. I don't think I'll finish this, but if I would, I'd remove the hair from his shoulders and arms, pop a Badstreet USA logo on the shirt, and decal the Galoob tights design on. **credit to Bandalero for the Hayes head idea. I think Akawildfire deserves credit also.

That's pretty cool, I've always wondered if it was possible to dye plastic.
This could be a really cool method for skin tone altering

I have a question and thought it would be appropriate to ask it here. Can a basic hand fit onto an Elite? I'm trying to get a basic hand onto an Elite body but it isn't working. I'm wondering if it's just me or they are all like this.

I'm wondering if it's just me or they are all like this. It should fit. Hands are tricky though. You really need to heat up the peg and it'll take some work to get it back in there. I've gotten to the point where I've widdled off part of the peg in an effort the get it to fit back into the hole. I bet this post would be weird if read out of context...

At first I read it correctly but then I saw "out of context" so I reread the whole thing out of context so it is pretty weird

While this one is genius to use Axel's head, I'm getting a weird funy Mick Foley vibe.

You don't want to heat the peg, you want to heat the arm and cool the peg.
