Oddities Kurrgan and Golga (almost completely due to ralphs) These are not completely done, as i hate the ralph Golga mask (makes him look like Oogie Boogie) so i will eventually sculpt one. And im trying to get my hands on a Luther Reins RA head for Kurrgan, or if anyone has any other suggestions for a head choice. RA Cena was just a leftover one i had.  |

I finished up my Brutus "The Barber" Beefcake tonight. I'm thinking about adding some mesh panels or zebra design down the sides. I love think pink pants but I think he might need a little something extra. I also got my hands on a Jakks jacket for him but it turns out that it looks pretty damn awful on him lol.   |

I finished hollowing out the Jakks R3 Tech Kane head and decided to put it on the Wrestlemania 31 series Kane. Everything went fantastic and then all that was left to do was put it on my shelf. Well, so I thought. One of his boots was facing outward a bit too much so I decided to rotate it before I set him on a stand...the boot ripped off along with the peg on the calf... The peg is currently on the inside of his boot. Why are these new figures so damn cheaply made ? This shouldn't be happening to brand new figures straight out of the packaging. Mad because this series never showed up in my local stores aside from 1 Taker I saw. So now I can't do anything about it and Mattel customer service probably can't replace it for me either. Don't care for a voucher when I won't even be able to buy another with it. Ughh just my luck lol.  |

@neillywap Did yours feel kinda rubbery as you were turning the boot as well? At that point I stopped turning it but it was too late.

The left leg of my Kane was didn't want to rotate at the boot either. (It did feel rubbery.) Even after heating and popping it off, it's still stuck, so I don't mess with it anymore.
If you have/do a free trail of Amazon Prime, you could buy one off there and return the broken Kane in its place.

It's kinda sticky and they package the figures with the paint still wet in order to get them to retailers quicker. You said you got yours off after heating it and it was still stuck so maybe that ain't it. I ended up buying a spare body without the head/arms/boots from eBAY for $12 and some change. I'll just swap over the parts. If Mattel sends me a voucher i'll just compensate for my losses and use the rest for fodder I guess. |

"Oh yeah ... Its true ... Its damn true" that I did another Kurt Angle fix-up. This time using a Jakks TTL Attitude era Kurt Angle head sculpt which I think matches with Mattel in scale. My previous one using a Toybiz TNA version was a little smaller in comparison.   Previous fix-up for comparison:  |

Luckily, the calf was black and I was able to swap an elite undertaker. The problem I've been having with the glossy boots have been worse, they end up collecting a ton of dust and look tacky/or like they're melting. I'll upload a pic of mines later. |

Picked up a cheap second hand Steph off ebay for a quick Attitude Era Steph fix up.  Mattel Steph body with some Kelly Kelly Arms and Jakks cloth shirt.  McMahon-Helmsley Era with my Attitude Era HHH custom. Quick HOF Hogan re-paint. This is what he wore on Nitro the night after Bash At The Beach in 1996. The debut of Hollywood Hogan!  |

 E13 Ziggler with b51 head and boots. Have given up on the basic/elite idea, just gonna buy a fabric vest for him instead. Happy with my final ziggler, may buy a white ic title for him or I could stick the whc belt back on him but may just keep him holding the blue mitb case.   |
