I'm not either but I do believe if you're gonna steal someone's ideas there has to be a level of respect Like the trent baretta when I get the parts for mine everyone is gonna say I copied Coon when in reality I gave my input and he got the parts before I did there for he is getting credit for my ideas. I am constantly posting my fix ups and helping others with ideas. I gave coon a full list of basic to Elite ideas he never wrote back with a thanks or anything. Then 2 weeks later here he is with 95% of my ideas with no credit. It's an honor system really. Then those people should stop complaining about others copying. We get a thousand pictures of each set Mattel puts out but god forbid someone post a picture of a fix-up that looks like one someone else made. because fix ups/ customs aren't mass produced they are like art. Do you think the guy who painted the mona lisa would have been cool if someone ripped him off? I mean look at how pissed Steve Jobs was when Bill Gates stole his ideas before he released them |

I wish when people ask for other people's ideas actually credit them instead of blatantly stealing them... Nobody cares. Again, they're just ideas of how to change a figure. If you need that verbal pat on the back, that's really just sad. I, too, did the same with E19 Michaels and Basic Trent. Did it before you were even a member here. Many did before you were even a member here. |

I personally do all the fix ups for my personal collection. I don't sell anything other than extras |

Ok, I want to clarify something here because someone threw in Axehenning a guy I respect a lot and he made some damn good customs, his gripe was with Deepfreeze about him using a hand drawing that he made and use it on a custom which is ballsy to say the least. I think when people ask for recipes and what not it's only obvious they are asking for a reason to make the custom or have someone duplicate the work. Now with Axe and Deepfreeze that was something else entirely. I contacted a member tonight asking him for a head idea I saw him use, and he gave it to me because I asked for it and was curious because I might want to duplicate the head idea.
MarkHenryMark, you have some good fix-ups and ideas best thing for you to do is not tell your recipes or ideas because most people will not credit you, if they do your lucky. I look forward to seeing more work from you in the future.
Let's keep this board strictly for fix-ups save the complaints for another post. We as a whole board loves to see what people are fixing up and it is always interesting to see what people think of next.

Back to the fix-ups. These aren't anything special by any means and are very simple but I figured I'd post to get back on topic. Hiroshi Tanahashi  Misawa  Big Show (added gloves and did head switch. The sleeves have been tucked in so as to appear sleeveless)  Chris Hero (still needs some work)  |

I had such a bad experience doing torso swaps with Jakks figures that I've never tried on Mattel figures. Don't blame you I just keep thinking that would make a great Black Machismo custom. I don't want to open mine just to do it because to date that is my favorite Macho Man figure released although the nwo and new Elite 23 are top contenders. Great job though I plan to have a few things posted by the end of the week. |

Also simple head swap on the E19 Michaels. I personally prefer the more current scan  |
