Awesome stuff all around. I'm glad to see that some flawless erections have been well-noted.  That E11 Punk headscan modded looks great. I'm doing the same thing with mine. Add the decals and that bad boy's done. Loving the fix-ups to the new TRU Triple H. I can't wait till I can get ahold of one. Great work as usual guys! |

QUESTION
I was wondering if you can combine a Mattel basic top half with an elite bottom half.
For example; Basic Tommy Dreamer from Waist up, and BOPPV elite Shawn Michaels legs (or someone else with elite pants)
Really wanting to do this, thanks for any input

It will probably work, I havent taken apart a basic torso to see the waist. |

Would like to keep everything factory made parts. If you figure it out let me know! That would be a lot cheaper to commission you out for |

A combination of me clearing out my parts bin and putting together an Attitude Era based collection has led to me working on these few over the past couple of weeks. Perry Saturn:This one is still very much a work in progress. I have to repaint the upper thigh/hip area, and the head and boots are just placeholders until the TTL Perry Saturn figure and elite white boots I ordered off eBay arrive. Mostly made of the Legends 2-Pack Sheik, but the lower legs (knee down) including the leg sleeves are from a Basic TLC Wade Barrett.  Tazz:I always felt like Tazz was a lot darker than both his Jakks figures as well as most of the Mattel fix-ups/customs I've seen on here. While he's missing Dean's decals to make him complete, I'm pretty satisfied with it for now as he was my first every successful complete torso/crotch crack. He uses the Jakks Return of ECW Taz head, Elite Finlay torso, lower legs and boots (both shortened), and DM Rock shoulders, arms and upper legs. Everything besides the upper arms and thighs is painted, though the figure is still quite playable!  Chris Jericho:It's almost impossible for me to get my hands on the excellent R3 Tech Jericho figure, and the ones I have seen are FAR too expensive to justify spending on just for the head, so I decided to go a different route on this one. The head is from the 2-Pack Jericho that came with Ricky Steamboat. I cut and sanded off the spiky hair and attached hair from a (I think) Deluxe Aggression Triple H figure, with a bit of sculpting done to make the transition seamless. I also sculpted on a goatee, though I decided to have the mustache simply be painted on. The horrible glob of glue on the left side of the figure was sanded down after the pictures were taken, I'm just too lazy to re-do them. The attire choice is also an obscure one since I felt like doing one of his rarely done attires. The designs aren't a 100% exact, but they were done free hand on both legs. I still need someone to make me a decal of the "Jericho" text going down his boots.  Group shot with my Austin fix-up, for scale reference:  All in all, I applied a LOT of what I have learned from all you talented guys on here over the past year and a half in making these figures. When I joined these forums I had been customising for almost 5 years and absolutely sucked. Over time, with a hell of a lot of patience and several ruined figures, I feel like I have become at least passable enough to whip up pieces for my collection. I'm nowhere near the level of the best of you guys, but I've become far better than I was and I want to thank everyone on here for helping me improve so much. Finally, I'd love any suggestions/criticism. Thanks! |

You've definitely got some skills when it comes to customs. That Jericho makes me want a classic Jericho even more now. |

Iron Sheik looks great. And Mr Perfect is really good, bit he still needs to be broader. Maybe use the E20 Rhodes shoulders and arms to make him look bigger.

I tried making a Savio Vega as TNT for someone, and used Shiek parts:  |

Nothing special, but I watched some of the Mankind DVD today and yesterday (not finished yet) and I was inspired to take a crack at Cactus Jack Manson from the NWA/WCW early days. Lazy ass fix...    Brawl with PS Hayes:The extra parts made a ok Attitude Era announcer King [  |

Sorry if this isn't the right place, does anyone know if an elite 17(Namely Kelly) bubble would fit in an elite 21(Namely AJ) box?

Not entirely accurate, but it's an old project. Needs cleaning up but I don't have any paint brushes, or smaller pads.  |

Just because I thought they made him too skinny... I really like what you did by using an Austin torso... I for one love the ab crunch so it was a shame to do without but I think it makes him look better with a bit of weight and I didn't have any other torsos to sculpt a singlet on.
