With alot of modding it may work, but odds are you don't get them to work with a regular torso. ah thanks for the insight pop I was thinking more about it and Road To Wrestlemainia Rock has BAF style legs and a normal connector that would work on a normal torso. Also could use a COO Triple H waist. When I made my entrance gear M$M I used a RTWM Rock waist down and COO torso and BAF arms. The arms can be used with minor modding. Just snipping a little off the end of the connector. Anyways what I'm saying is I don't know what you are looking to do, but there are options. Feel free to PM me if you have any questions I'll do what I can to help you out. |

Always felt like Tensai would be perfect for a ROH/Early TNA Joe. Thanks for inspiring me yet again, classicdas!

classicdas: OMG an Eddie Gilbert fix-up!!! Great use of Ziggler's head but I'd offer these humble suggestions:
- blonder hair, his beard was always darker
- white-framed shades if they can fit, might take away from the Ziggler resemblance more
- white wrist tape. I don't think I ever saw Eddie with red long wrist tape but I could be proven wrong with a reference pic!
Apoc: Love the old-school Iron Sheik - are those Volkoff trunks? This is his famous boner attire when he lost the title to Hulk!

Bandy, The hair on Gilbert is actually blonde, I just made sure he had brown roots and from the front shots, it looks like its all brown... Here's one that shows the side of the hair. Obviously its the pre-match "wet" look, thus the gloss on it. I also gave him some Martel shades, theyre not perfect, but get the point across I think. I share your opinion that it helps to disguise a bit. I originally had white wrist tape on Eddie, but just watching some old GWF shows, I noticed he often wore wrist bands that matched his gear, so I went that route instead. I'm not 100% that he did the same with the red, but I think there is a good chance.   |

classicdas: The Rick Martel shades makes it a lot better for sure! It's the same issue I had with my Michael Hayes fix-up, without the shades it just looks like Christian dressed up as Hayes. Still a great Eddie Gilbert, one of my all-time favourite wrestlers/bookers. Definitely an idea i will be stealing because I always wanted to do this version of Hot Stuff: Christian yellow tights, mid-sized white boots, switch out the arms for regular ones, and now a Ziggler head (with Martel shades)!

Crappy iPhone pics of my latest three fix ups:
I found two E21 Ryback figures at my TRU today so revisited my Mr. McMahon with a repainted Ryback torso (need to remove the arm bands and paint over the "R" logos on the hands). Also, the head is just resting on the neck for now as it sits WAY too talk on the peg - I'm thinking of adapting a peg to shorten it slightly to see if it helps.
The Ryback lower body was simply painted black to use for a quick Goldberg (using the newer Cena torso & HBJ arms) I was planning to do the half black, half white shorts but haven't found the motivation to do it yet!
There were a load of the new HHH exclusive too so I bought one for now as I'm low on figure funds lately lol - swapped the Bulldog torso onto him so he looks a little chunkier and less ripped!
The spare E21 Ryback is up for grabs if anybody needs him (loose but complete) and I can split the torso completely for anybody that may want that! Just keep in mind that I'm in the UK...

Hot Stuff is such an unappreciated talent. I didnt get him for the longest time, but after watching more of his stuff, he had such a presence. You knew he was a star. One of the original smaller guys too. I think he only stood around 5'10 and 220 maybe. I would have liked to use the DH Smith torso on him to give him some bulk, but ultimately decided it wasnt really worth it. Fun figure to make. I definitely recommend adding him to your collection. He would fit in very nicely. I like the yellow tights idea. I was tempted by green and blue ones, but with so many Steamboats that are perfect scale wise, I figured that was the best option.

I really like all three of these. Great use of the Ryback body on both accounts. I really like the Cena torso for Goldberg. I used it for one of mine and much prefer it to the popular HBJ torso. Rybacks torso is perfect for the gassed up McMahon too. Shame its a light too light for the head. Bulldog torso was definitely the way to go on HHH. It fits him much better for current look than the original. Hell, Mattel even had to photoshop his abs on, on the box art. |

I'm loving the Eddie Gilbert. And I like the red tape since more often than not he matched his tape...   _.gif) Maybe add a red elbow pad though? |

Hey guys, what is a good head to use for a custom corporate Boss Man? A head that would be in scale with Mattels. I actually hate the CS scan. TTL maybe?

I'm looking at making the same but in red to go with the rest of my cenas It's the Build-a-Laurinitis upper body on a random lower body I had in my parts tub - I had to use the short calves from Hacksaw Jim Duggan to make the scale correct but I plan on changing that (I may use creative licence and use Ryback's shins/boots) |

I guess I always remembered Eddie Gilbert with his white elbow pad so he'd have his white wrist tape too:   |
